Our Pet

Our Pet is a silent comedy short film from 1924, starring Baby Peggy. This film is notable for its connection to the early years of Hollywood and the legacy of silent film, particularly as it showcases the talent of Baby Peggy, one of the three major American child stars of that era.

The film was initially lost due to a fire at Century Studios in 1926 but was rediscovered in 2016 by silent film collector Ichiro Kataoka, who found a 9.5 mm print in Japan. He brought it back to life with his Benshi narration, making it accessible to contemporary audiences.

For collectors of silent films and those interested in the history of early cinema, Our Pet represents a rare glimpse into the work of Baby Peggy and the silent film period. The rediscovery of this title adds to its significance, making it a noteworthy piece for those focused on preserving the legacy of silent filmmaking.
