Double Trouble (1915)

This was Doug Fairbanks' second film and is still extant. Has it played at any of the silent movie festivals? Anyone seen it?

Yes, it played the Cinevent in 2003 as I recall. I found it very entertaining and a real comedic step-up from THE LAMB. Doug plays a timid banker who gets hit on the head and turns into the standard Douglas Fairbanks-type getting involved in all sorts of adventurous pursuits. I remember Gladys Brockwell being rather hot for 1915 as a loose woman Fairbanks gets involved with and a young Tom Kennedy being in it. The print they showed was in somewhat dodgy condition, but it was a very enjoyable film.
