The Farmer's Daughters |
(One reel of
1,006 feet, September 28, 1913)
Print source: British Film Institute, 15 minutes 36 seconds.
Scenario by Lloyd F. Lonergan.
Cast: Muriel Ostriche (May, the farmer’s daughter), Jean Darnell (Grace, the
farmer’s other daughter), Billy Noel (hired hand), Nolan Grane (hired hand),
Justice Barnes (father).
The one-reel light comedy was a specialty of Thanhouser, as were well-selected locations and a clever scenario. The theme of gender democracy is not unusual in Lloyd F. Lonergan’s stories. Here, the two daughters are set up against their will as sexual lures, but they turn the tables and get the best of the men.
