Those College Girls

About This Movie

Those College Girls (1915) is a quaint little silent comedy that captures the chaotic life in a girls' dormitory. The film, although directed by someone unknown, has that classic Keystone slapstick vibe—lots of physical humor and playful antics among the students. The pacing is brisk, which keeps the laughter rolling, and the practical effects are charmingly rudimentary, adding to its charm. The performances really lean into the exaggerated expressions typical of the era, showcasing a certain innocence and mischief that feels distinctly of its time. It’s not groundbreaking by any means, but there’s a delightful warmth in its portrayal of college life that makes it a curious piece in the silent film world.

This particular film is quite elusive in the collector's market, often overshadowed by more prominent silent comedies from the same era. Original prints are rare, and it hasn't been widely restored or re-released in modern formats, which adds to its scarcity. Those who appreciate early film history and the Keystone brand find it an interesting, if not essential, piece to own, particularly for its unique glimpse into collegiate life in the early twentieth century.
