A Suburbanite's Ingenious Alarm
First screened in December 2018
Directors: J. Searle Dawley and Edwin S. Porter. Cast: Unknown.

Twitter Capsule: Long setup for a humorous, proto-Harold Lloyd gag that suffers a bit from retroactive comparison.

VOR:   Stunt work gets a good showcase here. Makes canny use of realism (getting dragged through the street) and illusion (getting pulled out a window).
