Olive and her sweetheart leave school. Olive's mother, giving her some bread and jam, makes her mind the baby on the porch. Her sweetheart comes for her. They go away and leave the baby. They play around the corner and the baby creeps away. She makes the acquaintance of a bulldog and creeps on toward a cliff on top of which she sits and plays. The mother, now anxious, discovers that the baby is missing. She arouses the neighbors to help her look for her. Meanwhile, the dog decides that he wants some jam. He runs to the baby, follows him off to the base of a tree. After feeding him jam, she falls asleep. The mother, finding the shoe which the baby left on top of the cliff, imagines that she has fallen over. The neighbors help her climb down the cliff. After a series of mishaps, they discover the baby.

Actually, I was undecided. Silent films were always short, but they were always shown in cinemas at that time. I guess when I thought about it like that, I thought of this silent film as a feature film. Or maybe I need sleep. It's night for me.Moonee wrote: Thu Sep 11, 2025 3:11 am Did you accidentally post in the USA subforum and not the short film subforum? lol

And the young boy Jackie Coogan in the feature "The Kid" (1921) qualifies that for FLM!
