Babe Ruth

(1920-1930) 

Comedy / Drama / Sports

Babe Ruth was in several short films and feature-length movies. His pictures were very short and simple. Three of them, made in the 1920’s, were silent pictures: “How to Hit a Home Run”, “Headin’ Home” and “Play Ball with Babe Ruth ”.

After that, he did two other films in the 1920’s, before doing a series of shorts in the 1930’s. These short films were typically played in the movie theater before or after a feature film. Back then, there were also a lot of double-feature movies and these shorts were sometimes played between the main movies.
