Odd...the contemporary reviews mention nothing about "howling comedy". Biograph certainly didn't describe it that way. I would say the modern audience didn't get it.

​@@lenas9858 That's because "romantic comedy" wasn't a term back then, you imbecile. The audience was howling because it was a hip audience that caught the subtle humor; it's not broad comedy. Back then it would be described as something romantic (which it is); today we would call it a romantic comedy. And, having seen it live with a piano player, in a pristine print, I can tell you definitively that this soundtrack is completely wrong. And you, my dear, are an imbecile.

@@TTM9691 Sorry, but the contemporaries described it as a drama.

@@lenas9858 Sorry I'm supposed to use turn-of-the-last-century nomenclature to discuss "Love Among The Roses", twit, but it was at Lincoln Center, with Ben Model playing piano (as opposed to this ridiculous soundtrack that's playing on this fuzzy print above). It was part of a summer of Mary Pickford screenings which was filled with silent film aficionados, most who had white hair so......so much for your "modern audiences" drivel. If you want to register that reviews of the time didn't refer to it as a comedy, and inquire about why the audience was laughing, that's one thing. You leave an ignorant, passive-aggressive comment, you get the reply you deserve. Now sit down and shut up.

@@lenas9858 PS: Did you watch the movie, you insipid clod? Does it play like a drama? It plays like a sweet love story, but does it play as what YOU would classify TODAY as a drama?
