The Lonedale Operator (1911)
Fast paced and entertaining.
This little movie follows the same structure and tropes of most of D. W. Griffith shorts of this era. These short often feel dated and very melodramatic from today's point of view, which is understandable. However, there is something about this particular movie that makes it standout from the rest.
In my opinion Blanche Sweet does a great job in this role. Given the acting style of the early 1910s, Sweet's performance feels more modern than most. Her performance add to the pace of the movie which is nicely achieved.
I would, personally, take out the "romance" tag for this movie and add the "action" one. To sum up, a nice 17 minutes watch readily available in YouTube, some uploads incorporate music score which makes the experience much better.
