A Quaint Little Railway (1930)
This short, silent film captures one of Britain's minor little railways: the Leek and Manifold Light Railway on the Staffordshire Moorlands. The railway opened in 1907, linking the villages of Waterhouses and Hulme End, and was built mainly for agricultural traffic, with a passenger service being a secondary consideration. Its route went through beautiful countryside in Staffordshire although the intertitles state it as being shot in Derbyshire.
In 1934 the entire line was closed by the North Staffordshire Railway. There is little in the way of recorded film material of this quaint little train, so this gem gives an invaluable insight into the railway. (Stuart Smith, Midlands Railway Centre)
Thanks to BFI Films for sharing.

Little Annie Rooney Movie Trailer (1925)
Mary Pickford starred as a girl of the slums in William Beaudine's 1925 silent comedy-drama Little Annie Rooney, set in New York's Lower East Side. Audiences found nothing unusual about 32-year-old Mary Pickford portraying a 12-year-old, and this became one of her more successful films.

The Oath and The Man- 1910
From IMBD:
A commenter states:
Thanks to TV Days.
Griffith short has Henry B. Walthall playing a perfume shop owner who one days gets a visit from a French Nobleman. The Nobleman smells a lovely young woman's scent and invites her to a party but this woman just happens to be the owner's wife. The wife goes with the Nobleman but the husband doesn't do anything until the French Revolution comes around and he sees his shot at revenge.
A commenter states:
The scenes at the very end are from the "official" footage of Griffith, Douglas Fairbanks, Mary Pickford and Charlie Chaplin celebrating the forming of United Artists in 1919, an independent distribution company that released their individual films while retaining their rights to them. The company outlived all of them, even though it's a "component" of SONY these days.
Thanks to TV Days.
