You can watch the whole film here: https://silent-hall-of-fame.org/index.php/gems-for-donation "Her First Adventure" is a short crime drama. The film is included in our program to illustrate the work of our star Billy Bitzer. A very young Robert Harron appears as an extra in the crowd. A little girl strays away from home, attracted by street performers. As they move on, so does the girl. Upon discovering her absence the father starts a chase led by the family dog. The film is notable for two facts: first, for the acting performance of D.W. Griffith as the father, and second, for being the earliest film with the Biograph "AB" logo, posted on the piano, to discourage film piracy.
