Meet the Folks Synopsis
A male fusspot (Jimmie Adams) and attractive maiden (Gayle Lloyd) meet on the "Mountain Dew Express" train, each headed to visit relatives in the Tennessee hills. Upon arriving, however, they quickly discover they're on opposite sides of a Hatfields-and-McCoys-style feud between hillbilly clans. Can romance survive moonshine-fueled rural warfare? Adams carved out a moderately successful career in two-reel comedy shorts for various studios through the later silent era, relying more on his singing talent with the arrival of sound. Alas, not for long, as he died of a heart attack in 1933. - Dennis Harvey
Bride and Gloomy Synopsis
"Meet the Folks" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Bride and Gloomy" offers its own unique cult appeal.
