I was working from a recollection of the history. Underworld was the first of his three silent gangster films, the other two being The Dragnet and Docks of New York, both released in '28; all three starred George Bancroft.

If I'm not mistaken The Dragnet is a lost film. I have seen Docks of New York, and it is excellent.
