- Seymour Hicks stars in this 1913 version of Scrooge, based on Dickens' A Christmas Carol. Hicks would play the part again in the better-known sound version from 1935. This 1913 silent version was released in America in 1926 under the title "Old Scrooge" and that is the version here. The video is mute.

I saw this once, many years ago, & have been searching for it since. I watch several versions of the story every year on CZcams, yet this is the very first time this has popped up on my feed. Thank you so much for this- I enjoyed it greatly. I had some instrumental Christmas carols playing quietly in the background to set the mood. Wonderful!!
For its time very good, especially the ghost effects.
CGI, just eat your heart out.
didn’t even know this film existed.
That makes just another one of us in the multitude.
Nor did I. Thank you for this video.❤❤❤
Same here. And I'm taking a course on this book from Hillsdale College right now. Comparing all of the movies I can find to what the book actually reads. Most of them are good. I give a lot of slack to cinematic license
Thank you so much ! Dickens is my favorite author .
One of mine as well.
Merry Christmas, Uncle Scrooge!🎄🎁
Definitely.
Never knew this existed! Thank you and a Happy New Year to All!
another short classic version ive never seen. good one! thank you! 🎄
TCM (Turner Classic Movies) deserves to showcase this masterpiece at this time next year.
A fantastic version, thanks for uploading!
A precious masterpiece! Never seen it but great to have now done so! Amazing to think - 110 years old!
Thank you to whoever posted this I assumed that this was a lost film but it’s here
Right on again.
Well! You live and learn. I swear he did the talkie version in1935.
He did.
That's right ! And he did stage versions before this !
He did …. I just watched it, lol😅…
Congratulations on the guess.
You got it.
Wow! Been looking for this for years. Definitely the pinnacle of the silent age scrooge films. Thank you for posting this lost gem
Now, all we need is to send a petition to Jacqueline Stewart of TCM (Turner Classic Movies) to include this in the Silent Sunday Night lineup for next Christmas.
I've been looking for this one for so long! My grateful thanks for the upload.
Now, all we need to do is to petition Jacqueline Stewart of Silent Sunday Night on TCM (Turner Classic Movies) to include it in the lineup for next Christmas.
Thank you for this upload!
I adore it wholeheartedly.
This sent me down a rabbit hole researching debtors' prisons.
Research does get exhausting from time to time.
I didn’t know Seymour Hicks starred in two versions.
I see a lot has changed since the 1908 version. It's way longer. I am gonna have to grab this from you and add pre 1913 wax cylinder music to it.
Ebenezer Scrooge is 5 of Spades ♠️♠️♠️♠️♠️ and The Ghost 👻 of Christmas 🎄🎁 Future looks like the SPECTRE from DC Comics and Merry Christmas 🎄🎁🎅🤶⛄☮️✝️♾️🕊️ Blessings and Hugs 💜💜
Happy 110th Anniversary!
Yep.
I wouldn’t know.
300th like, thank you for sharing this one too👍
Thanks. Only vaguely like the classic and crunched for time, but I suppose the special effects in 1913 would have wowed the audience. A merry Christmas to you!
...there is an impressive 1910 version -- also Silent -- made by Thomas Edison's motion picture 'division'
And hopefully both that one as well as this one will be aired as part of the Silent Sunday Night lineup for next Christmas on TCM (Turner Classic Movies), if only we can get a petition through to Jacqueline Stewart in time.
Interesting.. but I keep seeing Lon Chaney in Phantom of the Opera...
Any chance that you’re biologically related to Quincy Magoo?
@@user-wi6sh6vh8u no... how 'bout you?
I grew-up where we had not snow to make snow-
men. But we had plenty
of tumble-weeds.
But they just didn't hold together as well as
snow did ! ☃️
Sounds like you lived almost within yodeling distance of Snoopy’s brother Spike.
Same scrooge from the 1935 scrooge movie
To quote the late comedy legend Dick Martin, “You bet your sweet bippy it is.”
А перевод будет ?
It is indeed a classic for the ages.
Outrageous what they did to Jacob Marley.A man works hard and minds his own business and that is what he gets.I know it was fiction but the idea is repulsive.Whoever agrees with this shameful act is sick.
Possibly.
