I enjoy fact Mabel calls him, " Roscoe"! He really was a talented man....and she reminds me of Gilda Radner! I know Mabel had a wonderful career as well!

Love that I'm not the only one who picked up on that!

There was a certain artistry to silent film. They had to express themselves visually. I get upset when people make fun of silent films. They are amazing works of art!

[@samspencer582]

Silents are much better than talkies.

[@dreamchildrulesfando]

compared to the other versions of this short,this version lacks about 10 min.

[@porkbroth]

I think the only difference is the play speed. The content appears identical except that this version is played faster, like most other films of the era were.

[@dreamchildrulesfando]

@@porkbroth Possibly yes.I have seen exemples of old silent movies beeing temped with by upploaders who reduces the fast original speed they used at the time to make them more pleasent to modern viewers.
