So Near, Yet So Far review

Walter Miller and Mary Pickford in a Griffith picture for Biograph. He's sweet on her, but never seems to get a chance to talk to her (hence, the title) - until, that is, they both end up visiting friends at the same house and burglars Harry Carey and Elmer Booth threaten her safety. Nothing new or groundbreaking from the director, but nicely shot and edited, and good natural performances from the leads.
