Percy is a lost 1925 American silent comedy film directed by Roy William Neill and starring Charles Ray, Louise Dresser and Victor McLaglen.[1] The film is based upon the novel The Desert Fiddler by William Henry Hamby.[2]
As described in a film magazine review, Percy Rogeen, a mother’s boy, becomes his dad’s campaign manager and is taught to drink and smoke. In a fight he is thrown into a box car and eventually lands in the desert. He is saved from a gang by Holy Joe. Together they go to a gambling house and save the girl’s property from a gang plotting to get hold of it through holding back the water.
With no prints of Percy located in any film archives,[3] it is a lost film.
