The Adventures of Dollie

D.W. Griffith's first film as a director, 1908, Biograph: a family picnic, a gypsy who steals the child Dollie, a barrel in the river, a rescue. Twelve minutes. Arthur Johnson and Linda Arvidson. It is not yet Griffith. It is the day he started, and the barrel in the current is already a director thinking about time as something you can cut.
