"On His Wedding Day" is a short comedy directed by Mack Sennett. The film is included in our program to illustrate the contributions of our star Helen Holmes.
This is the earliest surviving film with Helen Holmes and her only second screen appearance. She has a small part as a wedding guest and in this role we can see the humble beginnings of her distinguished career. Helen Holmes became the audacious star of "The Hazards of Helen" a year and a half later, acting as the heroine of numerous railroad adventures.
Mabel Normand and Ford Sterling
