If Only Mothers In Law Could Keep Their Mouths Shut

Her mother sees her husband going into another woman's house, and tells the daughter. The daughter speaks to the other woman, and they agree to pistols in the park.

Viggo Larsen tells this story a bit slowly, but very clearly, given there is only one title -- although it is a long one. There are also three locations -- no sets, all outdoors -- and about a dozen set-ups. Clearly Larsen new how to tell a story in cinematic terms and keep it interesting, nay, surprising throughout.

Assuming it is Larsen; his credit, the only one for this short, is unconfirmed. The only other movie he directed in 1906 I have seen is a rather chaotic comedy.
