Thank you for sharing 🌷 The quality is incredible for a film over 100 years old.

Amazing ive never seen this film! Mary was only just 20 here!

[@Ourladyrules]

she was so versatile! she could still play a waif well into her thirties. i believe she was 34 when she filmed Sparrows, one of her greatest films. long live Mary! ❤

This is the first time that I’ve been able to watch this beautifully restored film with Mary Pickford ♥️ as the young lady and Walter Miller as the young man smitten with her! I was able to recognize the Gish sisters at the beginning as Bobby Harron is with Mary. I could also recognize Claire McDowell and her husband Charles Hill Mailes at the house that Mary spends the night at. Also Lionel Barrymore in the men’s club scene with Antonio Moreno as the valet. And of course Elmer Booth and Harry Carey as The would be thieves! Also I really loved the music score accompanying this film. Thank You for making this excellent film available for us to watch! 😉
Hopefully one day I can watch Mary’s early 1915 feature Mistress Nell with her first husband Owen Moore.

What a cast! The founders of the industry. Spotted Harry Carey, Antonio Moreno, both Gishes ... the Griffith stock company!

Thanks for uploading! You should add some of MP shorts on her feature film Blurays, or a complilation of MP shorts on one Bluray would be amazing too!

Too much of a daughter to ever be a mother.
