That reminds me of one of my favorite Mary Pickford shorts, 100% American (1918).
Love that shot and music when she is first introduced at 1:06. :)

Thanks for posting this again. I don't remember what happens in the film, but I do remember liking it.
You trying to tell me you didn't hear that shriek? That was something trying to get out of its premature grave, and I don't want to be here when it does. - Phantom of the Paradise (1974)

So I have mentioned that before. I thought I had, but didn't see it in a search. Maybe it was on the old board.

Yes, it's a delightful short—basically a PSA with plot to encourage the buying of Liberty Bonds to support the war effort.

Normabanana first posted it here in 2017. You probably couldn't find it because she spelled out the word "percent", rather than typing the symbol.

Ah, I see. Thank you! I miss Norma aka Old Blueberry—wonder how she's doing these days.
