Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Single-Black-Male Serialization novels have an episodic quality that works well in these silent short subjects. For me, I didn't enjoy Edgar Allan Poe's writings, nor have I enjoyed watching any of his adaptations. I think for short silent films, comedy works better, especially if it is Chaplin or Harold Lloyd.
