Keaton, 1925, from a Roi Cooper Megrue play. Inherit a fortune if he marries by 7:00. He proposes badly, then the church fills. The boulder chase was added after a preview when a rock he kicked started a laugh; they went back and built more. The rocks in the finished film are props and real stone mixed. The first two acts are the play. The last reel is not.

Marry by seven or lose the fortune. The first two acts are the play. Then the church fills, and after a preview laugh at a rock, they went back and built a mountainside of boulders. The chase down the hill is real stone and prop stone mixed. He timed each one by inches.
