'The County Chairman' is a lost 1914 silent film drama directed by Allan Dwan, produced by the Famous Players Film Company and distributed through Paramount Pictures. It is based on the 1903 stage play by George Ade that starred Maclyn Arbuckle, who reprises his role in this film. Also starring alongside Arbuckle is up-and-coming heartthrob Harold Lockwood. The story is typical of the stage plays (and its star) Adolph Zukor brought to films for his 'Famous Players' Company in its earliest years. This film was remade by Fox in 1935 with Will Rogers.[http://www.silentera.com/PSFL/data/C/CountyChairman1914.html 'The County Chairman' at silentera.com]'The American Film Institute Catalog Feature Films: 1911-20' by The American Film Institute, c.1988[http://ibdb.com/show.php?id=2787 'The County Chairman' original 1903 & 1904 Broadway productions, Wallack's Theatre November 24, 1903 and 1936 revival; IBDB.com]
