THE CRAZY QUILT

 

April 15, 1912 (Monday)

(Private showing only)

Length: 1 reel

Character: Comedy

Note: This film was shown at Germania Hall, New Rochelle, on the evening of Monday, April 15, 1912 at the Thanhouser Employees' First Annual Entertainment and Ball. The Moving Picture News reported: "In the entertainment portion of the program, a number of non-released Thanhouser pictures were shown. One of them, which, by the way, caused a great deal of fun, screams of laughter ringing out through the building as it unrolled itself upon the screen. The title of this picture was The Crazy Quilt, prepared especially to get a laugh. In the title you were told that it was 'joined by the new girl in the joining room;' and, truly, it did its title proud, for positive and negative mingled with one another in the most astounding and ridiculous fashion - upside down, topsy-turvy, and every other way but the right way."
