Buster&apos;s Joke on Papa

Which One Is It?

Buster Brown plays a practical joke on his mother, persuading her to to put her hands into a pan of lobsters, then puts a bunch of them in his father&apos;s bed.

The Internet Movie Database has two movies of the same title, each directed by Edwin S. Porter and each coming out in 1903. One has a release month of November. The other in December. The movie by the title on the Library of Congress&apos; National Screening Room site is listed with a release month of October. So, which is it?

Buster Brown was a comic strip character created in 1902 by Richard F. Outcault. A scamp who got into problems, he was adopted as a mascot by the Brown Shoe Company in 1904; sixty years later, he was still used for their children&apos;s shoe store, along with his his dog, Tige. Movie stardom was inevitable.
