John Randolph Bray lived to be 99 years old. That's great to find out.

Not my proudest Fap

interesting there's a Sandy Hook in New Jersey besides Connecticut.

This is making fun of cubism but those paintings and the costume actually look pretty cool

An X-rated movie from the 1900s. 😊

Funny 😂 the scene @3.12 I have seen in another movie also...

This film is a good example of European westerns being behind American ones, & wasn't until the Spaghetti westerns of 1960's until they did any decent ones that I remember.

I am a bit confused here. If as you say this is not the film Les Tulipes (The Tulips) why have a link to IMDB for that film. Makes no sense.

I love that they built such a big set for such a silly gag

What's the song?

@1:12:00 ok, it’s getting better now. 😅

@1:04:43 Horrible girls!!!

@1:00:26 these are very naughty girls! I’m just at this point in the movie! I hope it gets better…

wow, what traffic chaos

Überlänge..

Bei dem Tempo des ausziehens hat der Film sicher Übergänge.. 😂😂

..and an automobile had the audacity to cut off all that horse flesh...

What a fantastic find. Produced by PATHÉ in Sweden (Stockholm) in 1912. A few years earlier PATHÉ almost had a monopoly on producing European film, but things had recently changed. This film represents the shift. The modest Swedish film industry that began in a small town had now moved to Stockholm. (Also, a historical note - the first film ever made in Sweden was filmed outside the castle, and you see the place it took place in the background 12/13 minutes into this film). And, they had large ambitions - and they needed new directors. Three of them were Stiller, Sjöström and Von Klercker - and all three would become the most successful Swedish directors during the golden era (1915-1925. And, all three are actors in this french production. One year later, in 1913 Sjöström directed "Ingeborg Holm", and PATHÉ had lost it's relevance and died away. One note about Lifvets vår, directed by a Frenchman Garbagni). The story (The only film script written by a Swede - Hedman, who became a clerk at Sjöström, Stiller and Von Klerckers new work: Svensk Bio/Svensk Film (SF). surprisingly progressive and social realistic being made in 1912. Depicting a class system, poverty, illness and death. Children's vulnerability, and the reality for the "common" women. All this one year before Sjöströms own "Ingeborg Holm" (1913) which is regarded as (and is) groundbreaking in its sociorealism. One could think Sjöström got the inspiration for "Holm" from Lifvets vår - but that is not the case. Instead, "Ingeborg Holm" was a play - written by a man who have worked with poverty and told a reality. Sjöström had appeared in the play several times on stage earlier.

lol

I'm betting this makes more sense if there are other parts...

DON'T HIT YOUR SISTER!!

I think I just witnessed a dog drowning. How awful

So this was entertainment in the 1890s. Huh.

WORLDSTAR!

"What do I do with my hands as I walk???"

That's hilarious!

This is before ballet shoes had the stiffened shank going up from toe to heel; allowing dancers to linger on their toes for more than just a second or two. I think it was Anna Pavlova who pioneered that innovation, but I could be wrong.

It’s incredible how ballet has evolved. Imagine what the critics of this era would have thought of Sylvie Guillem or Marianela Nunez… would they have been absolutely blown away, or possibly even offended?

Right on 🎉❤

Me neither

FANTASTIQUE FILM

I'm so glad there's an upload of this with high quality picture! Thank you, greatly! It's one of my favourite Porter shorts 😊

СКРУДЖ,ИЛИ ПРИЗРАК МАРЛИ(1901).

Incredible. All suited and booted the spectators. Nobody wore replica shirts until the 80s I think

Had me hooked as soon as i heard the opening music. Love these black and white movies. Great escaping from these terrible times .😊 thankyou. ❤

careful with that book there, you might wish you were dead

It isn't. They have got the title incorrect on imdb. He definitely doesn't want to have his photo taken.

Is this a different film to Rigadin veut se faire photographier as listed on imdb?

Wow, wéi schéin. Merci fir des wonnerbar Opnahmen.

Looking at a woman's ankle?? PERVERT

Wonderful !!!

Crazy to think that this was made closer to Marie-Antoinette's time than to our own.

Thank you for airing these pieces of film history...

ИНДЕЙЦЫ.

ИНДЕЙЦЫ.

These are very interesting examples. I wonder if there had been any spontaneous recordings like an interview or just street talks filmed with this.
