On the Banks of the Wabash (1923) is a silent rural melodrama film directed by J. Stuart Blackton and produced and distributed by his movie company, Vitagraph Studios. The film is very loosely based on Paul Dresser's song/poem "On the Banks of the Wabash, Far Away". The film was an expensive production, with full-size riverboat steamboat and location shooting. It was one of the last major productions by Vitagraph before they were bought by Warner Bros.[1]
The film stars 14-year-old Madge Evans, Mary Carr, and James W. Morrison. The cameraman was Nicholas Musuraca. Reportedly, a private collector holds an abridged, or shortened, version of this film.[2]
