Subway Sadie is a comedy-drama film that premiered in New York on September 12, 1926. It was adapted from Mildred Cram's 1925 short story "Sadie of the Desert" and directed by Alfred Santell. The silent film focuses on a relationship between New York salesgirl Sadie Hermann (Dorothy Mackaill) and subway guard Herb McCarthy (Jack Mulhall), who meet on a subway and become engaged. After Sadie receives a promotion, she must choose between her new job and marrying Herb. The cast includes Charles Murray, Peggy Shaw, Gaston Glass, and Bernard Randall. The film began production in May 1926 and was distributed by First National Pictures. Arthur Edeson served as cinematographer, shooting scenes in a nightclub and a casino, and at Cleopatra's Needle in Central Park. Many publications wrote positively of the film, praising its acting and Santell's direction. Today, it remains unclear if a print of Subway Sadie has survived. A poster of the film can be seen at the New York Transit Museum.
