Julanne Johnston (aka Julianne Johnston) and Edward Burns in Garragan (Ludwig Wolff, Elwe-Film 1924), also with Carmel Myers. Wolff also produced and scripted the film, while the script was based on a novel by Wolff himself. This multitasking Wolff did more often. Garragan treats one of Wolff's favorite themes, that of reincarnation. Baron Garragan, who has been rightly condemned to ten years in prison for the murder on a man he believed to be his wife's lover. Then he is released...

In between the shooting of Ben-Hur in Italy, Hollywood actress Carmel Myers and two other American actors, Edward Burns, and Julanne aka Julianne Johnston became the protagonists of the German production Garrigan. Not much about the film is known, apart from the above information on director Wolff's jack-of-all-trades involvement. While for Myers it was her only European role, Johnston stayed on in Germany to have a female lead, with Olga Tschechowa, in Die Stadt der Versuchung (Walter Niebuhr, 1925) and Burns had a leading role in Der Farmer aus Texas (Joe May, 1924-25). Johnston just had had a major role as the princess in The Thief of Bagdad, starring Douglas Fairbanks, while Myers would reach stardom as the seductive Iras in Ben-Hur (1925). Instead, Burns was an unlikely lead, as he had mostly been a supporting actor in American Westerns for Universal or small companies.

Garragan premiered on 20 October 1924 in Berlin.

Julanne (also Julianne) Johnston (1900-1988) was an American actress of the silent screen, mostly roles of antagonists to the male or female lead. Sometimes she was the love interest of the star, as in The Thief of Bagdad.

Julanne Johnston aka Julianne Johnston (1900-1988) was an American film actress, who peaked as the Princess in The Thief of Bagdad (Raoul Walsh, made in 1923 but released in 1924), starring Douglas Fairbanks. In the mid-1920s she also did a few films in Germany.

American actor Douglas Fairbanks (1883-1939) was best known for his swashbuckling roles in silent films such as The Mark of Zorro (1920), Robin Hood (1922), and The Thief of Bagdad (1924), but spent the early part of his career making comedies. Fairbanks was a founding member of United Artists and of The Motion Picture Academy. He hosted the first Oscars Ceremony in 1929. With his marriage to Mary Pickford in 1920, the couple became Hollywood royalty, and Fairbanks was referred to as The King of Hollywood'', but his career rapidly declined with the advent of the 'talkies'. His final film was made in Great Britain, The Private Life of Don Juan (1934).
