Grief

This is one of the many unidentified reels of film which sat for decades at the Library of Congress until it was identified. It can be seen on FOUND AT MOSTLY LOST, a DVD of such items issued by Overcrank Productions. Given some decomposition in the print and some erratic editing that seems to have added a group of children watching a 6year old and a toddler reenact Chaplin's THE KID, it is occasionally worth looking at for individual bits, but not as a whole.

This is mildly surprising. Its producer-director was Jack White, eldest brother of Jules White of Three Stooges fame; Jack was the most talented of three brothers and wound up running Educational Pictures' comedy division in the 1920s. He had gotten the job as a skilled editor who had saved an early Lloyd Hamilton comedy.
