Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The Collegians was a hugely popular series in the late silent era, cranking out 48 episodes of collegiate chaos to cash in on the 1920s fascination with campus life and football heroics.
Sally Blane (Betty Jane) was Loretta Young's older sister and appeared in over 100 films, though she's mostly forgotten today—like most of this series, sadly.
