Douglas Fairbanks, Marguerite De La Motte, and Robert McKim in The Mark of Zorro (Fred Niblo, 1920)

Cast: Douglas Fairbanks, Noah Beery, Charles Hill Mailes, Claire McDowell, Marguerite De La Motte, Robert McKim, George Periolat, Walt Whitman, Sidney De Gray, Tote De Crow. Screenplay: Douglas Fairbanks, Eugene Miller, based on a magazine story by Johnston McCulley. Cinematography: William C. McGann, Harris Thorpe. Art direction: Edward M. Langley.

Film firsts are usually worth checking out, and The Mark of Zorro is a double first: It's the first appearance of the title character on screen, and it's the first of the genre of films for which Douglas Fairbanks remains best-known, the swashbuckler. Since Fairbanks and co-scenarist Eugene Miller adapted Johnston McCulley's 1919 magazine story, "The Curse of Capistrano," the masked hero has been played by Tyrone Power, Guy Williams (in the Disney TV series), Frank Langella, George Hamilton (in a spoof featuring Zorro's gay twin brother), Alain Delon, and (as the aging Zorro and his hand-picked successor) Anthony Hopkins and Antonio Banderas, and appeared in numerous Mexican and European films. The trope of the do-gooder who pretends to be a wimp but turns into a force for justice has its precursor in the Baroness Orczy's play and novel The Scarlet Pimpernel and lives on in countless superhero tales, most notably the Clark Kent/Superman story. As the languid fop Don Diego Vega, Fairbanks affects a weary slouch and spends his time doing tricks that involve a handkerchief. When he turns into Zorro, with mask and scarf over his head, he pastes on a little mustache oddly reminiscent of Boris Badenov, and succeeds in taking on the villains with great élan. The film itself begins slowly, with too much exposition crammed into the intertitles, but eventually Fairbanks gets his act together, and the climax of the movie is a hilarious showpiece for his acrobatic moves. He leads the Capistrano constabulary on a merry chase over walls and across rooftops, inevitably tempting them into disaster: He leaps over a pigsty, for example, whereupon the pursuers fall into it. At the end, revealing his secret identity, he wins the hand of Lolita Pulido (Marguerite De La Motte), by saving her family's estate from the clutches of the evil governor (George Periolat) and his henchmen, Capitán Juan Ramon (Robert McKim) and Sgt. Pedro Gonzales (Noah Beery), both of whom get branded with the emblematic Z (though the sergeant gets his only in the seat of his pants). Good fun, once it gets going.

Tsuru Aoki (The Dragon Painter, The Wrath of the Gods)—Tsuru Aoki was one of the earliest Japanese professional film actresses in the U.S. and may be the first Asian actress to receive lead billing in American motion pictures. After she and fellow fledgling actor Sessue Hayakawa co-starred in a short film together in 1914 they began a relationship and married the same year, going on to make more than twenty movies together in the 1910s and '20s. One of the best remembered is The Dragon Painter from 1919.
