Mediocre, also for a silent film

Warning: Spoilers
"The Girl and Her Trust" is an American 15-minute short film from 100 years ago. And as expected with the time, this is a silent film and also in black-and-white. The director is D.W. Griffith, one of the most successful filmmakers of its time and the drama equivalent to Chaplin basically, with the crucial difference that Griffith was only making film, not starring in them. I have seen some of his works and they were a decent watch. This one here is, despite its popularity, not among his finest pieces I have to say. There are similarities to "The Great Train Robbery", but the focus is here more on the female protagonist than on the crime itself. As a whole, I was not really that much entertained while watch. I do not recommend it.
