Obstacle Course
boblipton17 March 2019
This is one of two short subjects by this title from 1910. Margaret Hope tells Arthur Charrington she will marry him instead of his rival if he wins a footrace. She also slips him a short cut -- which turns out to be a difficult route to cover in this amusing film.

Charrington played Muggins, this gormless character in three or four other movies in this period, and directed several movies, and directed one of the two versions of EAST LYNNE released in 1913. This appears to have been Miss Hope's first movie, then nothing for ten years, followed by a bunch in the early 1920s and one outlier in 1930. Alas, her name is common enough I was unable to discover anything more about her.

A Race for a Bride review

Warning: Spoilers
Amusing little British comedy directed by 25-year-old David Aylott, who would direct nearly 350 shorts between 1908 and 1930. The plot sees two rivals for a woman's hand taking part in a cross-country race to see who marries her. Perhaps surprisingly, it's the cheat who wins...
