Break, Break, Break (movie)
''Break, Break, Break'' is a 1914 American silent short film directed by Harry A. Pollard. A period drama written by Sydney Ayres, the film starred William Garwood and Louise Lester. It was described by ''Moving Picture World'' shortly after its release:A pretty picture telling an idyillic love story; it should go very well; for, though it depends on sentiment rather than on thrilling dramatic suspense, it holds the attention strongly and is filled with the atmosphere of the good, old-time stories and poems. The costumes are of the mid-Victorian period in rural England. Many of its scenes are as charming as good pictures. The acting is also excellent quality. Vivian Rich is the heroine; Harry Von Meter, the hero, and Jack Richardson, the light villain. Much of the action is among the hay fields and then the seashore. ''Break, Break, Break'' was a single-reel film produced by the American Film Manufacturing Company and released on September 9, 1914 through the Mutual Film Corporati ...
