Elmer Booth was so great in this short. He defines what the gangster character will be for the next hundred years with his swagger and charm in this D.W. Griffith classic. 12 years 4 months ago -

5/10
I didn't understand the ending, what did the boss react on from the hand reaching out something?!
Otherwise 6/10.
"Considered to be the world's first movie about organized crime, it is also noteworthy for its early use of follow focus." 8 years 6 months ago
