As the Press Book credits are somewhat different from those published on IMDb, I think the easiest way to handle the matter is to reproduce them here in full:
Benita Hume (the lady), Percy Marmont (James Fitzjames), Lawson Butt (Roderick Dhu), James Carew (Lord Moray), Haddon Mason (Malcolm Graeme), James Douglas (himself), Sara Francis (Blanche), Leo Dryden (Allan Bayne), Hedda Bartlett (Margaret), J. Nelson Ramsay (Brian).

COMMENT: Admittedly, he's unflatteringly photographed, but Percy Marmont makes a woeful lead in this ploddingly faithful adaptation of Sir Walter Scott's now dated and well out-of-fashion epic poem. The lovely Benita Hume doesn't shine over-brightly either. As might be anticipated, James A. Fitzpatrick has angled his camera at some very picturesque Scottish locations (which are not particularly well served in the current Alpha DVD), but when it comes to other directorial functions, Fitzpatrick is much less adept. Students of Scottish history might gain something from the movie, but for the rest of us, it comes close to failure.
