TWO LITTLE DROMIOS

 

British release title: TWO LITTLE DREAMERS

January 11, 1914 (Sunday)

Length: 1 reel (1,014 feet)

Character: Comedy

Cast: Mignon Anderson (the country girl, and also the city girl; sometimes in the same scenes, by double-exposure photography), Riley Chamberlin, Justus D. Barnes

Note: The title of this film was probably taken from the two Dromios in Shakespeare's The Comedy of Errors.

 

REVIEW, The Morning Telegraph, January 18, 1914:

"An entertaining comedy is told in this film. Two little girls are the 'Dromios' in the case, and they cause much amusement in the course of the story."

 

REVIEW, The Moving Picture World, January 17, 1914:

"This single reel works up so entertainingly that the story could be well carried through a second reel. Mignon Anderson plays the double part of a country and city girl, double exposure being used to advantage. The country girl comes to the city; the city girl goes to a masquerade as a country girl and they are thus confused. But the story hardly seems complete as it stands."

 

REVIEW, The New York Dramatic Mirror, January 14, 1914: This review is reprinted in the narrative section of the present work.
