When Do We Eat? (1926) Silent Short ft. the Original 'Lassie' | 16mm Film Scan

Description: "When do we eat" a silent short produced by Max Fleischer's Red Seal Pictures; featuring who I would say is the original "Lassie"! Unrelated to the later famous Lassie, she was the dog of the filmmaker Emery Bronte - but she was still quite the movie star - reportedly Lassie was making $15,000 a year!

Film follows Lassie and her puppies trying to get a meal, eventually catching up with a young girl and cheering her up - and grandma goes on to help out the lot of them.

Song is "Take a Little One-step", from LoC Jukebox.
Re-cut and timed the song to better fit the length of the film.

Corrected for contrast/exposure, edge light leak, added post-stabilization as it was a fairly wobbly print. Being a Kodak Cinegraph release, film base had a yellow tint.
