How Green Saved His Mother-in-Law
(1914) United States of America
B&W : One reel
Directed by Allen Curtis

Cast: Francis Ford, Grace Cunard

The Universal Film Manufacturing Company, Incorporated, production; distributed by The Universal Film Manufacturing Company, Incorporated [Joker Comedies]. / From a screen story by Grace Cunard. / Released 15 April 1914. / Standard 35mm spherical 1.33:1 format.

Comedy.

Reviews: [The Moving Picture World, 18 April 1914, p. ?] A farce-comedy written by Grace Cunard. It will amuse at times. Green has trouble with his mother-in-law. When his home takes fire he sees a figure leaning from the window and assumes it is his wife. The supplicant for help is wearing his wife’s kimono, at least she did in some of the scenes; in others it appeared she did not. There are many hurly-burly attempts at rescue. The falling back of the crowd at the stairs seems a bit drawn out.

Survival status: (unknown)

Current rights holder: Public domain [USA].
