About This Movie

The Magic Glass is a 1914 silent film comedy directed by Hepworth. This short film features a boy who discovers a professor's liquid that can make objects transparent.

Finding a copy of The Magic Glass can be a bit tricky; it’s not exactly a staple in most collections. Though it may not have the same recognition as some contemporaries, there’s a niche interest in silent comedies that make this film appealing. Original prints are quite rare, so collectors often find themselves valuing not just the film itself but the joy of its discovery in the context of early cinematic experimentation.
