Taking It Easy
Leontine is sent to her uncle's estate in the country (some time in the Mezozoic Era, judging by the backdrops). Everyone is happy to see the child. She's happy to be there, since there are new people to torment with her tricks.
I've commented on the three or four other comedies I've seen starring Leontine, and noted that I was unable to identify her, or frequently, her collaborators. Here she works with Romeo Bosetti, one of the Pathe comedy directors of the era, but the archivists and historians who put this short on the CINEMA'S FIRST NASTY WOMEN set are just as much in the dark as I. It is clear that there is some continuity of character from one short to another (there are sixteen of them in the set, and I hope more will turn up), with Leontine being a practical-joking tomboy who causes chaos wherever she goes, and then laughs about it. Here, it's a little close to the edge, as workmen who treat her well are injured: but still funny.
