The Extra Girl (DVD), Kino Lorber, Comedy

The Extra Girl follows the misadventures of Sue Graham, a small town lass who escapes her romantic entanglements by heading for the green pastures of Hollywood. Sue quickly discovers that the dream factory is just a factory like any other, as she is assigned to duty in the wardrobe department. But through pluck and ambition, she manages to overcome every setback, including one hair-raising sequence in which she accidentally unleashes a man-eating lion on the studio back-lot. This Kino DVD also includes the rare 1913 short the Gusher, mastered from an archival 35 mm print with the original color tints. Set in the oil fields of California, it follows the efforts of a wily con artist to defraud a yokel (Ford Sterling) and his bride to be (Normand).
