Freddy Goes Greek aka Greek Meets Greek (1920) Eddie Boland Freddy is fascinated by the ancient Greeks and his sister and her friends try to cure him by living just like the Greeks until he gives up.

Negrita (ca 1920) Looks like a short Our Gang type film. Negrita is a little black toddler who prefers to play with geese rather than the rest of the gang.

Rose O' Salem Town (1912) Dorothy West, Henry B Walthall A Deacon coming onto a "wild child" (Dorothy West) but after she rejects him he goes back into town saying that the girl and her mother are witches.

Here is Rare Silent Collection #12 with four films.

A Desparate Scoundrel aka Dirty Work In A Laundry (1915) Ford Sterling, Minta Durfee
"A Desperate Scoundrel" begins with Ford being chased from the park when he's caught trying to steal milk from a baby! He then directs his larcenous talents towards a laundry. After stealing a wad of cash, the owner eventually realizes what has happened and the chase is on

Love and Rubbish (1913) Ford Sterling Ford Sterling appears in this as Mr. Fickle. He flirts with women in the park and starts considerable trouble. His rival rides down hill in a barrel into the lake. The children thumbing their noses at the close was a bad piece of business in an otherwise fairly good reel. Many exhibitors will prefer to cut this off.

Be My King (1928) Lupino Lane, Wallace Lane Sight gags is what Lupino Lane did. Lupino was absolutely mind-blowing as a rubbery stunt comic. This film is hilarious but it is unfortunate that the racial material (the cannibals are whites in blackface) is truly embarrassing today.

Ten Of Spades (1914) Victory Bateman, William Garwood Jess was a waif, she just came into the camp one day. Nancy, of the "dance hall," saw marks of coming beauty in the child and befriended her and guarded her closely. After three years of Nancy's care and training, Jess was graceful and pretty and had been so carefully watched that she was a stranger almost in camp.
