This one is a gem. For a long time, the only copy that I had of about a quarter of this short was the one on the CD-ROM with very low resolution and fewer frames per second. Why hasn't this particular print ever showed up anywhere else?? Thanks to the recent Mischief Makers DVD, I could leave out most of that CD-ROM footage. Having used three different sources (MM, Scallawags, and the CD) almost all of the short is together here at www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_-E4q-4k1Q . This is still only missing a few intertitles and maybe a very small amount of footage. The Beau Hunks soundtrack is included.
In case any of you are wondering why I decided to give the shorts a sepia "tint", it's because some of the shorts look a bit dark in the transfer and after given a sepia tone (it's called "classical" on the application that I use to edit videos) it makes the video look a little bit brighter and easier to see. Imagine those darker scenes of Young Sherlocks in black and white. And because I wanted the shorts to look as consistent as possible for my own "restored" collection, I'm giving all of my silents this tone.
Hope you guys enjoy this short!
