    What's Your Hurry? review

    Mary Pickford gets one over on her would-be boyfriend when he steals a kiss by getting her Dad to show him his new birthday present - a brand new shotgun. Unusually for Griffith, this is quite a funny comedy, thanks largely to the reactions and physical dexterity of Billy Quirk.

    Terrible

    This 4 minute silent film was poorly observed and dreadfully executed. I felt that there was no entertainment value in it whatsoever, and that apart from the fact that there is a relationship between creativity and commerce, there was no point in commissioning this film.
