The Auctioneer is a 1927 American silent comedy drama film directed by Alfred E. Green and starring George Sidney, Marian Nixon and Gareth Hughes.[1] It was originally planned for Janet Gaynor and Charles Farrell to appear in supporting roles in the film, before both had become stars by that point and other actors were cast.[2] The film was adapted from a (1901) David Belasco stage play of the same name which starred David Warfield.[3][4]
