MRS WIGGS OF THE CABBAGE PATCH 1919 "This was Gareth’s best film appearance prior to going to Hollywood. He plays opposite Marguerite Clark, a well established star by 1919. In this clip we see Billy Wiggs (Gareth) discover Lovey Mary (Clark) hiding in the barn after running away from the orphanage with young Tommy. The latter part of the clip is from the end of the film – a happy ending and a happy future together for Mary and Billy."
"This is the film which enticed Gareth to Hollywood. Gareth plays the younger brother of Gina Ashling (Clara Kimball Young). In this clip, one in which Gina Ashling uses a crystal ball to see into the future, she sees a scenario in which her brother takes revenge on the man who has ruined her."
