FRAGMENT | The ageing Miss Tillesen runs a boarding house, but her temper will soon run it to the ground. Tillesen’s young niece, Anna, decides to attract new boarders with a pretentious advertisement. Soon enough there’s bite from four would-be gentlemen, all of whom confuse Anna to be the boarding house’s landlady. A scuffle quickly ensues as to which of the gentlemen can woo the supposed landlady first.
This film has Danish intertitles. The preserved fragment lacks the beginning and the end. Read the full plot in the cinema programme.
The film has an identical premise to an earlier silent film: ‘The Girls from “Cafe Maxim”’ (1911), also produced by Nordisk Film. Was this a case of inspiration, self-plagiarism or was it a so-called “remake”?
