I just saw this tonight at the Portage Theater in Chicago


And it was pretty good. I liked its comedic qualities the best. I think that was this movie's greatest strength. There were some scary moments as well.

Louise Fazenda as Lizzie Allen was so funny! She had some great one-liners (if I can use that term for a silent movie!) Emily Fitzroy was also very good.

I love seeing silent films in a theater. Do it if you get a chance.

How did the enormously tall rooms look in a theater viewing? They often dwarfed the people. It made for a great effect.
