"The Suburbanite", 1904, directed by Wallace McCutcheon, is a 9 min (211 m) honest comedy silent film of American Mutoscope & Biograph Company. Simple plot: It shows a family moving to the suburbs, with the movies spilling some of the house objects. Then we see three kids left alone out front to play and apparently they get muddy so they are brought inside. Then, the burly (of course) mother-in-law arrives and then other household help arrives, but the cook is an ornery woman who throws everyone out of the kitchen, even hitting one man over the head with the a frying pan. Subsequently, police are brought in to take her away. All of that, an anti-suburb message.
