Sally of the Sawdust
In a fascinating departure from the austere moral drama in which he specialised, D.W. Griffith demonstrates his talent for warm-hearted comedy with "Sally of the Sawdust". Fresh from the Ziegfeld Follies, W.C. Fields made his second screen appearance as Professor Eustace McGargle, a lovable, disruptable confidence man who becomes the unlikely guardian of an orphaned circus waif (Carol Dempster), in a rare silent role showcasing the comic juggling and dry wit that would make him a legend.
