About The College Orphan
Angered by his son Jack's wild behavior, Mr. Bennett sends him to college on a limited allowance. Jack is engaged to Irma Brentwood, the daughter of his father's partner, however, Irma prefers upper classman Bruce Howard. At Jack's boardinghouse, Jack is kind to orphan Daisy Woods, the much-abused maid, who falls in love with him. After a football victory, Jack's fraternity goes to a burlesque theater, but finds that Howard's fraternity is already there. Following a rough house, Jack's fraternity kidnaps the showgirls for a party.
Directed by William C. Dowlan, The College Orphan leans on a strong ensemble — Carter DeHaven, Flora Parker DeHaven, Louis Morrison — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1915.
