Enjoyable early short! Thanks for sharing!

You're welcome!

What a treat. An early D.W. Griffith, Mary Pickford. IMDB says Mack Sennett is in this.

[@silentfilmmusic]

I'm sure he's in there, somewhere. I need to take a closer look at this short!

[@ncmps]

Hi Ben. Maybe on the stairs at around 04:38 ? I know Sennett did work with Griffith on the east coast.@@silentfilmmusic

[@ncmps]

And which one of the ladies at 03:53 is Lottie Pickford? The one in the checkered dress?@@silentfilmmusic

[@OofusTwillip]

This counts as Canadian Content, because Mary & Lottie Pickford, and Mack Sennett were all Canadian.

[@silentfilmmusic]

That's right! Good point.

None of the people who made this movie ever imagined anyone would see it 13 years later, let alone 113 years later. To them, it was just a product to make a quick buck.

[@silentfilmmusic]

Exactly! What's amazing is that 113 years later it's something we can still understand and enjoy

That was cute. Poor Harry had a rough day.

[@silentfilmmusic]

He sure did!
