The Love Toy is a 1926 American silent comedy film directed by Erle C. Kenton and starring Lowell Sherman, Jane Winton, and Willard Louis. The film was produced and distributed by Warner Brothers.[1]
Lowell Sherman and Helene Costello were later married.
As described in a film magazine review,[2] groom Peter Remsen, a man about town, races through the town and arrives an hour earlier than expected, finding his bride in the arms of another man. He tears up the marriage license and hires himself out to the European kingdom of Luzania to drown his remorse. There he becomes a general in the King Lavoris's army, getting His Majesty out of daily wars with Belgradia. After winning some of the daily wars, the King makes him his valet. He then saves Princess Patricia from the Prime Minister, who seeks to usurp the throne and entering into a forced marriage with the King's daughter. Peter then wins the affection of the Princess for himself.
With no prints of The Love Toy located in any film archives,[3] it is a lost film.[4]
