Contains scenes from 1916 film Silas Marner
To appreciate the point visually have a look at Jean Girardin who played the part of little Eppie in the 1922 film of the Eliot novel (there was also a version in 1916),a blond-haired little girl who was known "the most photographed girl in America" because of her appearance in streetcar-ads (and who, at 110, is seemingly still alive). I do not know if the film as such survives but Charles Urban's George Eliot (1922), which appears on the web as "Silas Marner", is actually mostly a long trailer for the film and includes the relevant scene.
