This movie is HILARIOUS. The soundtrack is all wrong. It's a very subtle movie that you really have to see in a pristine print, and on a big screen to fully appreciate. it was shown in NYC a few years ago and the audience was howling with laughter, it was beautiful. It needs piano accompaniment, not new age music,sorry. On a Melies movie, perhaps! Not a Biograph and definitely not THIS Biograph which is a comedy of manners. The acting is so great in this one, they must have had a lot of fun filming it!!!
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 It's not unusual for a modern audience to misinterpret a bygone sentiment. That makes them more obtuse than "hip", which your comment proves.
@@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.
Bravo! You've really impressed me.
This is a lovely combination of action and music.
this is so lovely wow
Beautiful short film. Mary was pure genius. Love her always 🎥❤
She was 15 at the time.
DW shot this in one day, primarily in the garden of artist Paul de Longpre, who has a street named after him in the Hollywood district.
