People may laugh at these early efforts but they should remember that every movie made today springs from them. And the great directors of today like Spielberg, Scorcese, Cameron etc. owe everything to Griffith. Thanks for posting these films.
Only film Mabel and Mary made together. A lifelong friendship (until Mabel died young at age 36 from tuberculosis) was the result. “Closeness over Bros. Ness”.

I laugh at the movies made today.
Mabel Normand in a dramatic role. She was good too!
Terrific Biograph short film on a beautiful print with musical score! Thank you!
so nice film with quality print.

Had this story been written today, I am sure the end would have been very different.
He picks Mabel Normand over Mary Pickford?Whatever.
well, I think both are very beautiful in their own ways
I would have cast them both aside for Lillian Gish, if she had been in the film.
Mabel was sweet and beautiful.
He made the right choice. I'd definitely choose Normand over Pickford.
