Wampas Baby of 1926 Sally Long may not have had such an illustrious film career but her beauty made headlines. She was dubbed the "Love Insurance Girl" because, so the story went, Ziegfeld had insured her for $100,000 against falling in love and leaving his shows. She also held the title "Most Photographed Girl in the World" but many other stars claimed that title as well. Her biggest film year was the year of her Wampas Baby title, "The Thrill Seekers" came almost at the end and her role in it told the tale. She had a small but very flashy role of a showgirl (what else!!) who makes her appearance on stage in a gilded rickshaw. She is also instrumental to the plot in helping the two "thrill seekers" escape from the sinister Mr. Walker (Robert McKim, villain of several William S. Hart movies and bringing his very gesticulated acting with him.) The thrill seekers are Gerald Kenworth (James F. Fulton of whom not a lot is known) and Adrien Wainwright (Ruth Clifford) - two wealthy but sheltered people who want to experience life in the raw!!
Gerald is soon eyeing off all the pretty girls in the cabaret including a scintillating dancer (Gloria Grey at 15 was one of the youngest Wampas Baby stars - she was 17 in this movie, she played "the Mystery Girl") who uses her legs and arms to great appeal - only she happens to be the chauffeur's girl!! Gerald soon gets embroiled in a night club fight and while he can't forget Adrien, the girl he fought for, Walker won't forget him either and wants to even the score for the wrecked joint and making off with his "girl"!! He has Gerald kidnapped, intending to have him rowed out to sea where he will meet with a little "accident"!!
Director Harry Revier may have discovered and married Dorothy Revier but apart from that, was never really associated with a major studio. In fact his career never really recovered from two seedy exploitation films "The Lash of the Penitentes" and "Child Bride" which were almost his last movies.
