News Parade is a 1928 American comedy film directed by David Butler and starring Nick Stuart, Sally Phipps and Brandon Hurst. The film portrays the adventures of a newsreel cameraman. Despite poor reviews and only a modest box office performance it was followed by several similar films including Chasing Through Europe (1929).[1]

Plot

Nick Naylor receives an order to take a picture of the camera-shy millionaire A.K. Wellington. As the millionaire is traveling with his daughter, Nick follows them to Lake Placid, Palm Beach and even Havana. In Havana, he is then able to shoot the photos of the millionaire. There, they are both kidnapped.

Cast

Production

Parts of the film were shot on location in Lake Placid.[2] One critic noted that "Brandon Hurst as the millionaire father is especially amusing as a skater at Lake Placid."[3]
