While making the film The Valley of the Giants 1919, Wallace was involved in a train crash and his injuries prevented him from finishing the film. Unwilling to stop the film, the studio sent the company doctor up to Oregon with a supply of morphine so that he would continue working and not feel the pain of his injury. After the picture was finished, he was needed to begin another so the studio kept supplying Wallace with morphine and he became hooked.

Tragic story. I was surprised to learn he was the son-in-law of one of my favorite character actors, Harry Davenport.

He has an entire segment dedicated to his life in Kenneth Anger's "Hollywood Babylon" anthology about Hollywood which is not very complimentary.
