Something to Do

Something to Do is a lost[1] 1919 American silent comedy film directed by Donald Crisp and written by Maximilian Foster and Will M. Ritchey.

[2][3] As described in a film magazine,[4] Jack Merrill (Washburn), wealthy apostle of idleness, is advised by his physician to "find something to do" if he want to live long.

His valet, posing as Lord Sidney, seeks to win the hand and fortune of newly rich Mrs. Parkin (Farrington), who has had her relative Peter Remwick (Brower) declared insane and confined to an asylum.

Merrill learns of his valet's exploits and Janet's predicament, and masquerades as a nobleman to gain entry into the house.

Jack is instrumental in establishing Peter's sanity, proving Mrs. Parkin a crook, and winning Janet.
