Wow! thanks for posting this. Never knew bits of this film existed. Is it available to purchase? Just loving "Dimples" now I've seen him in action. A very jealous man in his personal life though.

I don't believe the full version of the film exists. You can get it from Grapevine Video and its on the the dvd Norma Talmadge at Vitagraph. I think they have the most complete version.
