When Knights Were Bold is a 1908 silent film short directed by Wallace McCutcheon and produced by the Biograph Company.[1] It is based on a very successful 1906 Broadway play of the same name (over 500 performances by 1908) written by Harriett Jay(under the alias Charles Marlowe) and starred a young Pauline Frederick, George Irving and veteran comic Francis Wilson.[2] The film survives today and is noteworthy for the appearance of D. W. Griffith in an acting role before he started directing for Biograph.
