Brown of Harvard is a 1926 silent film released by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and starring William Haines. It is based on the successful 1906 Broadway play Brown of Harvard by Rida Johnson Young who also co-wrote the popular music for the play along with Melvin Ellis.[1] The film is the best known of the three Brown of Harvard films, having been John Wayne's screen debut.[2] Uncredited, Wayne played a "Yale Football Player". Grady Sutton and Robert Livingston, both of whom went on to long and successful careers, also appear uncredited. The 1918 film included future Boston Redskins coach William "Lone Star" Dietz and the only Washington State University football team to win a Rose Bowl.
