The Son of Wallingford is a 1921 American silent comedy drama film directed by George Randolph Chester and Lillian Josephine Chester and starring Wilfrid North, Tom Gallery and Antrim Short.[1] It is based on George Chester's novel The Son of Wallingford about a confidence trickster, itself inspired by his Cosmopolitan articles and an earlier hit play Get-Rich-Quick Wallingford. It was shot at Vitagraph's Flatbush Studios in Brooklyn. It was released by Vitagraph a couple of months before a Paramount Pictures version of Get-Rich-Quick Wallingford.
