This was really magical. I clicked on this video just to watch a few seconds to get a sense of what Mary Pickford looked and acted like, but I ended up watching the whole thing. I really enjoyed the modern score. What a neat way to thread the present into the past. It’s amazing that we can just watch these films and be transported into the past, and yet the story is still intriguing and relatable. :)

Simply wonderful!! Its clear why Mary Pickford was considered the great star that she was. She was completely natural in this. (as were all the other actors as well). She dd not fall in to the grand gesturing and pantomime that many of this era did. a natural beauty too. Just perfect

Exactly my thoughts. Looks so natural. But how and why?

These restored 1912 Mary Pickford films are so good! They should be more well-known.

In my opinion, Mary Pickford was the most beautiful actress in Hollywood. She did not need to be flashy or have to dress sexy to portray her natural beauty.

One of the real bonuses of the internet is that these wonderful early films are preserved for all time. When you think what the public expects and demands now, so many of these stories were simple and spoke of common problems. We think we are all so sophisticated now but so much of modern cinema is vacuous and aimed at kids

One of my favorite early Mary Pickford short films for Biograph! I love the way she looks at Henry B. Walthall at the wooden fence entrance in their first scene. Veteran stage actor W. Chrystie Miller plays Mary’s father and beautiful English born Madge Kirby is the friend taking the baby for a walk. Madge would make more films for Biograph including The Painted Lady (1912) as Blanche Sweet’s sister. Madge would later appear in numerous short comedies, especially with Larry Semon.

I don’t know why but Mary’s acting, makeup and gestures et al here look so refreshing and much more natural than her later films esp. her first talkie Croquet (1929). Any thoughts?

Amazing they have film of a baby in 1912. My first baby was born in 1978 and I have no 🎥.

I was thinking how strange it is to think if that baby were still alive, he would be over 110!

Considering Mary came from a poor background as well, that was rotten of her, I don't think Douglas Jr., cared, since Mary was his stepmom. I think his mom was still living when they got married. I wonder how she felt about Joan?
