Mystery of Dead Man's Isle (1915) starring Clyde Benson and Edith Johnson. It was directed by Giles Warren. It's a drama with a sad ending. Clyde Benson sees a girl wandering on what is supposed to be a deserted island in the bay and rows out to see her. Edith Johnson had been shipwrecked on the island and taken in by a group of counterfieters who use her to pass countfiet money. The secret service raids the island and the girl is killed as her rescuer is rowing her to safety.
Dear Old Pal (1923) Snub Pollard and Paul (James) Parrott are best friends to fight about anything and then make up. They fight about horseshoes and the girl they both love Marie Mosquini.
Beaucitron At Home (1922) This is another Snub Pollard short. Snub was known as Beaucitron in France and this film has french title cards but did not have the opening title. I gave it the name Beaucitron at Home but it's french title may have been "L' Heritage di Beaucitron". In it Snub and extended members of his family go in together to buy a piece of property to build homes on. But the propety is so small that they can't all build so they solve the problem by building homes that float from hot air baloons. One day Snub's grandfather arrives carrying a satchel loaded with money to give Snub his inheritance. Snub's toddler is making so much noise he is put out on the front porch where he accidently unties the rope holding the house to the ground and they float away. You've got to see the ending for yourself. I have since found out that this was originally titled L’ Heritage de Beaucitron which translates to The Legacy of Beaucitron!
