Sadly, this one is lost
by moviessilently2014-07-27

"This film is considered missing and presumed lost, which means that no copy is known to exist in either archives or private collections. Edward Everett Horton is famous for his voice. He is beloved by several generations of children for his wry narration in the classic "Fractured Fairy Tales" series. Not a lot of people realize that Horton started out in the silents. This Universal Jewel release (in other words, high budget and high prestige) features Horton as well as silent stalwarts Lucien Littlefield and Burr McIntosh. Our befuddled Horton is trying to win the girl of his dream..."

💡 Did You Know?

Long thought to have been lost, a 16mm print of this film was found in late 2024. It was screened for first time since the silent era at an event hosted by the Silent Clowns Film Series, at the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts, NYC, on January 11, 2025.
