Notes: This is a set of 80 cards showing scenes from the Mabel Normand film "Mollo O'". The back text is the same for all the cards in this set. An album for this set is advertised on the card backs. Shotwell released a series of card sets based on popular movies, including "Molly O'", "Suzanna", "Strongheart", and football player Red Grange's film "One Minute to Play." Molly O' has an ACC number of E245, but the other Shotwell sets do not have ACC numbers.
