Mark Twain at Stormfield, (1909 Edison film) (Snotr category week)

Silent film footage taken in 1909 by Thomas Edison at Stormfield (CT) at Mark Twain's estate. Twain is shown walkng around his home and playing cards with his daughters Clara and Jean. The flickering is due to film deterioration, but this is the only known footage of the great author.

Two things I noticed. Thing one, he must have had a very thin house because the speed he walked around it to appear the second time was incredible. Thing two, he must have had a real liking for imaginary tea as he finished the one he was drinking three times. >:)
