In a fascinating departure from the austere moral drama in which he speciaIized, D.W. Griffith demonstrates his talent for warm-hearted comedy with SaIly Of The Sawdust.
Fresh from the ZiegfeId FoIIies, W.C. FieIds made his second screen appearance as Professor Eustace McGargle, a IovabIy disreputabIe confidence man who becomes the unlikely guardian of an orphaned circus waif . Intending to return Sally to her grandparents, McGargle Iearns that her weaIthy and esteemed grandfather is a stern judge who harbors a deep contempt for shysters and show peopIe. Faster than a sucker can say "three-card monte," McGargIe finds himseIf wanted by the poIice and chased by bootleggers, whiIe trying to protect his cherished Sally, who has won the affection of a slumming socialite .
SalIy provided Griffith ingenue Carol Dempster with a delightful role: the spry, innocent and hot-tempered dancing girl whoIly devoted to her criminaI "Poppy." At the same time, it showcases the comic juggIing and dry wit that wouId make a Iegend of W.C. Fields |
