| Facts •Filmed in 1915 at Wharton Studios, Ithaca, New York, USA. •Surprisingly, this film is not reviewed in Rob Stone's "Laurel OR Hardy" book. •If we are to believe the information provided by the IMDb then Thurlow Bergen is 4 years older than his on-screen mother Lottie Alter; and also Ms. Alter was 36 at the time of filming. Something not quite right there?! Did you notice? •The first letter we see is from the mother, which reads, ""...witness the game. I shall be with my boy in spirit, to aid him in all his critical moments. Your own Little Mother." •The second letter we see is from the son, "Tomorrow is the big game and the boys are depending on me but I am depending on you to pull me through safely. I shall go through the bunch like a whirlwind knowing that you are rooting for me. Your big boy." • |
