Calamitous Elopement, A (1908)
*** (out of 4)
D.W. Griffith film has a boyfriend proposing to his girl only to get caught by her father and thrown out of the house. The two decide to run off and get married, which is overheard by a thief who plans to take advantage of their decision. This comedy from Griffith works pretty good, although it's a tad bit hard to follow at the start. When the thief enters things pick up because the film doesn't play out (or go for the laughs) the way you'd expect. You can spot the director playing one of the cops in the film.
Balked At the Altar (1908)
** (out of 4)
D.W. Griffith film about a woman who will stop at nothing to get a man to marry her and that includes help from her father and his shotgun. Like many "wedding" pictures of its time, we get a long chase scene, which really isn't too funny.
