Kada-Abd-el-Kader
- Actor
When Rex Ingram and Alice Terry went to Tunisia to film The Arab (1924) they met a
young boy and, on being told he was an orphan, they adopted him and
took him back to America with them. When he got there, the boy Kada-Abd-el-Kader,
began associating with fast women and fast cars throughout the San
Fernando Valley. It seemed that he had misrepresented himself and was
really older than he had told them. They eventually sent the "boy" back
to Morocco. The Ingrams told friends and the press that Kada was going
to finish his schooling in his native land. This wasn't true but in
those days things like that were kept quiet. Kada later became a
tourist guide in Morocco and Algiers and would always tell tourists
(especially Americans) that he was the adopted son of Rex Ingram and
Alice Terry.
