Watch The Whole Dam Family and the Dam Dog

One of several Edison films from this period that used animated intertitles. It continued "a popular fad which has been widely d by lithographs and souvenir mailing cards." These postcards showed portraits of various of the Dam family, with their names: I. B. Dam, U. B. Dam and so forth. This comedy plays with cinematic form, offering numerous introductory portraits followed by only a short vignette of action.
