Filmed over 100 years ago yet it has better resolution than most 'modern' youtube videos.

Its a fake

[@youngsteph1]

Rubbish it is shown by the BFI.

[@harrymonk6]

@@youngsteph1 dude its fake didnt you watch all the way thu

[@youngsteph1]

I did, and there is nothing to show it is fake. It is of similar quality to many other Mitchell & Kenyon films of this period. The fact there was a live animal involved is very significant, as the shows then did do that.

This footage is over a century old. When the Roaring Twenties began, the kids in this video were in their 20s or 30s (assuming they survived to adulthood). Thanks for sharing! Really interesting to see!!

[@dboy7882]

These types of things (cinematic history,violence,spousal abuse,baseball bats instead of guns) Need To Be Preserved! Classic Vintage Video.Many Thanks

[@PhilVerryChannel]

Surprising resolution to say the least even though it's been digitized and filtered. Glad it was captured and thank you very much for sharing it.

[@MasterBDG701]

Wow, a version of the play with a live dog! I read that they used to have them around the 1800's but never seen an example until now. Thanks.

[@darkforestzombie218]

Now they use puppet dogs rather than real dogs.

[@perryjimenez5629]

Footage like this existing is like time traveling

[@OmegaWolf747]

That's the way to do it.

Wow ! That blew me away. Thanks

[@cranberry6pointOh]

Thanks for sharing & thanks to BFI (who/whatever you are) for granting permission!

[@DaveBlakeTheZombie]

Really cool!

[@rimski7265]

The young lad playing the musical instruments is my great grandfather, I only found out last year from my dad’s cousin

[@wil79644]

That is fantastic! Do you have any pictures?

[@rimski7265]

@@wil79644 I’ve found a couple more online, I’ve got a relative who I’m going to see who may have some pictures of him when he was older, fingers crossed.

The beginning of the MCU

Back in my day this is what all the kiddies went to see...I don't understand your "ball point pens" and your "type writers"

[@ryanoneal8421]

This is amazing

[@youngsteph1]

What is this listed under at IMDB as cannot find details of it. They have all other Mitchell & Kenyon films.
