"He may be a homicidal maniac, but he DOES appreciate good music". Mary makes this one, she was such a natural.

Love these simple old films. It cracks me up that the American Biograph logo hangs in a church, in a home and other places.

She was so adorable. I can see why the world loved her.

So lovely to find a whole KZbin channel devoted to Mary Pickford! She was a brilliant actress, and more people should get to discover her and see her talent for themselves. The print of this film is remarkably sharp and clear - even the detail on the curate's chair, the tablecloth, the trim on the theater curtain, etc, show up like it was filmed yesterday. Wonderful!

I really enjoyed Mary Pickford and the story line of of film. Directed by D.W. Griffith, a pioneer in silent film making.!

The plot of this one... 😳 I hated liking it. Thank you for preserving these bits of history! It's important for a lot of reasons.

This is my favorite MP short. There's something hauntingly beautiful and dreamlike about it 💖

The Olympic and Titanic were still under construction when this film was made

Life Is not perfect for a film 115 years old we blessed to watch it

Arthur Johnson was leading man in many early DW Griffith films, then left, & died a few years later

That was delightfulm Mary was wonderful as usual, the curate was very handsome.

I take it that the gun-toting Rev was supposed to be a Protestant; otherwise, his troubles are just beginning.

[@emilys3458]

Simply wonderful!

[@МаргаритаЯдыкина-о1и]

is it possible to find this music?

[@kessahstasya3142]

Somehow it is a little bit like Phantom of the Opera)

[@jackmorrison7379]

Looks like D.W. Griffith didn't have much sympathy for high church Episcopal priests, as this one is a bit of a nut. But the wayward clergyman is saved by his church choir singer, and her soul is saved from the louche Broadway crowd and skirt chasers.

[@CastleFamilyThe]

Music is way too intense and repetitive for this short!

[@Mary-jp9wc]

Horrible music for this film. Does not fit.
