A bit late as Miss Swanson would have celebrated her birthday a couple of days ago, but no less fun and never a waste to remember. Here are a couple of silent comedy shorts starring Gloria Swanson and Bobby Vernon – both directed by Clarence G. Badger and produced by Mack Sennett. And worth a look.

From 1918, written and directed by Roscoe Arbuckle, here’s Good Night, Nurse.
