Molly O'
An Irish washerwoman's daughter falls in love with one of America's most eligible bachelors, much to the dismay of the girl's parents -- and the young doctor's newly acquired fiancée! Events come to a head at the charity masked ball, which the two girls happen to attend in very similar costumes, thanks to the largesse of Molly's benevolent "fairy godfather"...

MOLLY O' Mack Sennett-Associated First National, [Mack Sennett-Paramount] 7,588 ft., rel. Dec. 1, 1921 dir. F. Richard Jones, assisted by Ray Grey, photography Homer Scott, auth. Mary Hunt and Fred Stowers, film edtr. Allen McNeil, Titles John Gray, Art Director S. D. Barnes, Costumes Violet Schrader cast: Mabel Normand (Molly O), Jack Mulhall (Dr. John S. Bryant), George Nichols (Tim O'Dair), Lowell Sherman (Fred Mancester), Eddie Gribbon (Jim Smith), Anna Hernandez (Mrs. Tim O'Dair), Jacqueline Logan (Miriam Mancester), Albert Hackett (Billy O'Dair), Ben Deeley (Albert Faulkner), Carl Stockdale (The Silhouette Man), Eugenie Besserer (Antonia Bacigalupi), Gloria Davenport (Mrs. James Wheaton Robbins) filmed: 5/30 to 6/29, 1921 Locations: Los Angeles, CA, Pensacola, FL copyright: Oct. 24, 1921 This copy is from the print that surfaced at the Gosfilmofund in Moscow, Russia in the early 1990's; and at least a pair of reels are missing. However, their absence occurs in the early part of the movie and does not seriously impair watching the film in toto. Until UCLA comes out on DVD with their restored version (and why, after all, don't they?), this is about as good a print as one's likely to see.

Note. The version for .avi download here is somewhat better in picture quality than the one presented on video.
