Ah, so you too fell under the spell of Mary P. -- glad to hear it !

I can recommend quite a few more of hers from this era -- The Female of the Species 1912 is an especial fascinating and relatively unusual role for her.

Who wouldn't? My then-6-year-old son sometimes would watch these films with me, and he always wanted to watch the Mary Pickford ones. Fanchon the Cricket was his favorite of her films.

and while we are on this topic: have you seen the gorgeous restored/found prints of these Mary Pickford early films on the Lib of Congress site?
