Soft Shoes poster

Released in 1925, Soft Shoes is a comedy, drama, crime and romance film directed by Lloyd Ingraham, running about 46 minutes. “A Fight a minute-Laugh a Minute- tale of Thugs and Heart Throbs in San Fransisco's Underworld.” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. Sheriff Pat Halahan comes into an inheritance and travels to San Francisco to collect. Faith O’Day, a cat burglar armed with pistol and flashlight breaks into his hotel room and demands that Halahan cough up his dough. Halahan sees her threat and raises her a one-dollar bet that he can return a brooch she stole earlier the same evening before its loss is discovered. Pulling off his boots to slip on his own “soft shoes,” Halahan sets off to do a little second-story work, not realizing the trouble he’s in for.

Who’s in it. Soft Shoes stars Harry Carey as Pat Halahan, Lillian Rich as Faith O'Day, Paul Weigel as Dummy O'Day and Francis Ford as Quig Mundy, among others.
