Attached is an excerpt from a longer article by a middle-aged fellow who looked back to his last days as a teenager and recalled some of the offerings and events from 1914 Hollywood.
• The most popular screen performers were Mary Pickford, John Bunny, Ethel Barrymore and May Irwin.
• The most popular films were The Peril’s of Pauline and an Italian film titled Cabiria (directed by Giovanni Pastrone, aka: Piero Fosco).
This reminiscence pays tribute to a stand-up comedian named Jack Gardner and his skit, Curse You Jack Dalton, in which he interacted with the performers on a movie screen, “ordering” them about, cracking wise and even having the audience believe that he had shot one of them.
