Lena and the Geese review

An inconsequential comedy from D. W. Griffith that was written by its star, Mary Pickford. She clomps around in wooden clogs as a simple Dutch maid who wants only to spend time with the geese she loves, but who is passed off as the heiress to a deceased noblewoman by her real mother. Pickford is at her best, but there's barely enough material here for a 10 minute short let alone nearly 25 minutes.
