What happens

Cook's Bid for Fame è un cortometraggio muto del 1912 diretto da Frank Wilson. Si conoscono pochi dati del film che, prodotto dalla Hepworth, fu distrutto nel 1924 dallo stesso produttore, Cecil M. Hepworth. Fallito, in gravissime difficoltà finanziarie, il produttore pensò in questo modo di poter almeno recuperare il nitrato d'argento della pellicola. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
