Summary:
Only in the way: In this story centering on family disharmony, the parents' treatment of the grandmother affects the little girl who identifies with her. Get rich quick: This moral tale observes how an elaborate swindle, the "Utopia Investment Corporation," affects one of its participants. Coffin ship: This one-reel adventure creates a visually strong seagoing story of a stowaway and a shipwreck. Cinderella: An elaborately mounted version of the well-known fairy tale with stylistic costumes, sets and locations highlighted by in-camera trick photography. Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde: the second U.S. film version of the famous tale by Robert Louis Stevenson. It downplays the horror element in favor of the thematic conflict between the good and evil sides of one personality.
