Watch: Raggedy Rose (1926)

Raggedy Rose is a cute little silent comedy from 1926 starring Mabel Normand. Rose works for a cheap-skate junk dealer and dreams of romance with a wealthy bachelor. I say: who doesn’t, sister?

There’s not a lot that’s truly special about Raggedy Rose. Except that Mabel is always charming. And except that it was co-written by Stan Laurel. And except that there’s far less amusing ways to pass 50 minutes of your time.
