Thoroughly delightful and entertaining early silent version of the beloved Charles Dicken's Christmas tale. Amazingly well done with exceptionally fine special effects for the time, especially the visiting spirits. Facsinating how actor Marc McDermott as Scrooge is able to convincingly bring this story to life in less than 15 minutes. Silent film actor Charles Ogle plays Bob Cratchit and notable actress Viola Dana is also in this production. Directed by J.Searle Dawley, this is an excellent example of the early silents produced with quality from the Edison Manufacturing Company. For silent film fans and those who want to see an early film version of " A Christmas Carol" you will find this adaption certainly an interesting one.
