Heroine of the Month: Jacqueline Logan
Sometimes when a promising career takes a bad turn, it is better to recognize this and move on than face continuing disappointment. Jacqueline Logan, a former Ziefield girl who for a short time became a popular performer in the twenties. She appeared in A Perfect Crime (1921), Salome Jane (1923), Manhatton (1924), The Outsider (1926) and Midnight Madness (1928).
Her only serial was Mascot’s King of the Kongo (1929), a sound film, ie music and sound effects but no talking, about a search for Logan’s missing father, played by non other than Boris Karloff, who has amnesia and is leading a band of ivory smugglers.
With the coming of the talkies Logan worked sporadically, appearing in The Middle Watch (1930) and Shadows (1931). Trying her hand at directing she helmed Strictly Buisness (1932), before calling it quits and retiring from the movie business.
