The Old Swimmin' Hole

By the 1920s people were already feeling nostalgic for the "good old days," as evidenced in this wistful look at the daily life of a rural schoolboy--from falling for a pretty classmate to hanging out and fishing at the title pond--at the turn of the 20th century. Charles Ray, Laura La Plante, and Peggy Prevost star in this silent seriocomedy, which tells its story without title cards. 59 min. Standard; Soundtrack: music score. Silent with music score.
