If you find a print, it's Normand as a tomboy heiress, and that 8 million is a claim.

The review

Mabel Normand plays a western tomboy who turns out to be an heiress. That's the picture. A house can watch it if a print is to hand. The star is why the name is still said.

The dollar story is louder than the comedy. A figure of 8 million is still repeated. It is a claim, not a studio ledger, and I will not print it as a fact of the till. A big number makes a small remembered film sound like an event. The event, if you can find the print, is her. Don't let a repeated claim do the remembering.

Keep Mickey in the record.

No house has filed a sentence for this yet.

Live Historic number 26. Yours can differ.

The glance

Industry and Household and Piety and Courage and Republic and Temperance and Truth and Stewardship are the thin ones.

Does anyone here do a real job, and does that job matter?

This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.

Daddy-Long-Legs

38 instead of 26

Daddy-Long-Legs is still a comedy film, and it scores 38 instead of 26. What you gain is industry: College is the gift; nobody's daily job is what the story runs on.

The eight

2
Industry
A western tomboy turns out to be an heiress, so a fortune replaces work.
3
Household
The reveal is an inheritance, not a marriage, a parent, or a child.
2
Piety
The comedy never turns on a conscience that could stop anyone.
3
Courage
Tomboy manners are the flavor, not a risk she stands to lose.
2
Republic
No neighbor, law, or town has a claim on the heiress story.
3
Temperance
A repeated 8 million is a louder want than the comedy itself can feed.
3
Truth
The 8 million figure is a claim, not a number from a studio ledger.
3
Stewardship
What remains is the star, and only if a print is still to hand.

The review

Ferdinand Zecca's 1902 féerie gives you the cave, the jars, and the thieves. A child can watch it. I am not going to describe a killing, and you shouldn't either. The trick of the jars is the pleasure. If that trick lands, the reel has done the only job it really has.

It is a sketch, not the whole tale told at length, and not a later feature. I wouldn't pretend the children got Ali Baba. They got a painted bit of it. That's enough for a short look. It is not enough to skip the story you would actually tell them.

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz

38 instead of 26

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is still a fantasy film, and it scores 38 instead of 26. What you gain is household: Dorothy is the child in it, and the reel never builds out a household.

The eight

2
Industry
Thieves and a cave, not a living anyone would call a job.
2
Household
No marriage or child is lived; the sketch stays on the jars.
2
Piety
The reel wants the jar trick, not a conscience that stops.
3
Courage
The thieves and the cave imply a risk the sketch barely plays.
2
Republic
A band of thieves, and no town is owed a straight account.
3
Temperance
The pleasure is the jars, a trick you watch and finish.
4
Truth
Honest as a sketch, and it does not tell the whole tale.
3
Stewardship
Left behind is a jar trick, not the story at full length.
