The Cricket on the
Hearth (1909)
Directed by D. W.
Griffith this film based on the novella of the same name stars Owen
Moore, Violet Mersereau and Linda Arvidson. A man returns home to
find his sweetheart engaged to an older man.
Not the greatest
adaptation you will ever see you can at least follow the plot of this
film without prior knowledge of the story which is not always the
case in these early films. Very much a cut down version this is a
fairly decent film. No great shakes for the period this is an average
effort.
3/5
