The 1900s-1910s had 1860s nostalgia HARD. The 1920s were all-in for 1880s-1900s nostalgia. Legal booze! Nobody had ever heard of a World War! After WWII, nostalgia for 1900-1913 was at its peak, before it was finally supplanted for the 1950s nostalgia craze of the 1970s.

Adoption of short hair depended on culture, religion, politics and hair texture. While there were cuts that looked great with curlier hair, straight hair with scientifically precise waves (vs natural curl) was the high fashion standard.

Hepworth's use of family pets rather than trained animals adds charm to his productions. Animal actors can do wondrous things but there's something so sweet about a pet that's just happy to be included.

Nobody, absolutely nobody, is immune to propaganda and people who think they are are foolish. Movie propaganda is frequently harmless (I simply had to see Doune Castle because of Monty Python) but there are many cases where it is not. "I just won't let it affect me!" is incredibly naive.

THE WIZARD OF OZ (1939) was the third cinematic reboot of Oz. The Selig company brought it to the screen in 1910 (after L Frank Baum lost his shirt on a multimedia presentation that included some filmed sequences), Baum relaunched in the mid-1910s, Larry Semon did his worst in the 1920s.

Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Drew were an acting-writing-directing duo who specialized in short domestic comedies that would form the foundation of the sitcom. The Vitagraph company billed them as counterprogamming to rough slapstick.

Max Linder in the comedy TROUBLES OF A GRASS WIDOWER (1908). When a husband quarrels with his wife, she goes home to mother and leaves him to keep house for himself. Humorous struggles ensue. (This is a BREADWINNER subtweet)

It doesn't help that the film's setup would have Bertie Wooster remarking on what a sap the hero is. Still, it does have Sally Rand and Franklin Pangborn in supporting roles, so that's fun

They frequently poked fun at their age gap and traded off being the problem. In FOX TROT FINESSE (1915), the younger wife cannot get enough of the latest dance craze, while her husband just wants to relax and unwind.
