Aladdin's Other Lamp

Aladdin's Other Lamp is a 1917 American fantasy-comedy silent film based on the play, The Dream Girl by Willard Mack.

Inspired by the Captain's tales of Aladdin, she goes on a hunt for her father's oriental lamp which Mrs. Duff has sold to a junk peddler.

Upset, Patsy throws the oriental lamp out the window and barely misses hitting her friend Harry, who wants to become a lawyer and then president.

[2] Hal Erickson wrote in The New York Times that, "the popular star/director combination of Viola Dana and John H. Collins had another winner on their hands".

[2]The Oakland Tribune said the film contained “delicious humor and melting pathos” and opined that Willard Mack's play, The Dream Girl, “loses none of its charm by having been picturized”.
