Really amazing perspective from film history on alcohol's effects on society! This is 1909! Griffith was certainly a genius. Thanks for putting this one up.
This is why the 18th Amendment was passed. A lot of people saw the evil in drinking. And there was much, much more drinking of alcohol in those days. Beer was thought of as being a healthy alternative to drinking water. Beer was even thought of as liquid bread.
Wonderful quality. Hope others appreciate this film.

They just left the little girl dead on the bar floor?
they had a replacement back home
movies these days never end with a little girl being shot in the face because of their alcoholic father...1909 was really a golden age
The family was cool with that???
