Review of The New York Hat

I wish they had done another film together but to my knowledge no. They would soon go their separate ways. They were adorable! No heavy message here just an early short film centering around simple town life and how gossipers haven't changed much even today! Mary is so sweet and full of expressions here. Young, handsome charming Lionel Barrymore is a joy! Despite the stereotyping he would face in later years he never lost that wonderful charm. That smile and nuances that was so him! Love the ending. The gossipers not so wrong after all perhaps.. A film made even before the First World War is hard to imagine. I marvel at these earlier fascinating movies. A simple innocent time we will never experience again. One of my go to movies that make me smile, It was a simple happy hopeful time in their lives and film careers just getting started. A treasure trove of a time capsule!
