Those Awful Hats 1909

That's actually a pretty good effect for 1909. I've seen worse in later silent films!

Trivia: Mack Sennett is the guy in the checkered jacket and false nose.

Wow! That was made 100 years ago. Sad that all those people would have passed on by now. These old movies always give me more perspective on life.

One amazing thing I noticed......was that picture overlay (the movie screen top left) in the original movie. For 1909 that was done so well. Especially the ladies moving in front of the movie screen. Although teh effect made the main picture a bit wobbly. Still great for the era.

I have been researching about Florence Lawrence for a long time. Recently I discovered some stills from this D. W. Griffith's short that clearly indicated that the lady in a white dress is Ms. Lawrence. In 25 years in the motion picture industry she made 291 movies.

The lady in a white dress with a floral hat is Florence Lawrence.

thats an awesome name.

the leading lady of the film is Flora Finch, not Florence Lawrence.
