Conductor 1492 (silent, 1924) – A Spirited Tale of Romance, Resilience, and Riotous Adventure

In this 1924 Warner Bros. silent comedy, Conductor 1492, directed by Frank Griffin and Charles Hines, Johnny Hines stars as Terry O’Toole, a young Irish immigrant who lands a job as a streetcar conductor in America. Amidst slapstick comedy and cultural stereotypes, Terry navigates the colorful world of Irish village life, races for bathrooms in a bustling American boarding house, and encounters a world of challenges when crooks attempt to take over the streetcar company. As Terry pursues the affections of his boss’s daughter, Noretta Connelly (Doris May), the story builds to thrilling sequences of daring night drives and a heroic rescue from a blazing fire, with a crowd eagerly clamoring below. The film features an engaging blend of humor, romance, and action, set against a backdrop of 1920s America, with memorable performances by a talented cast.
