Curiosidades

Alias Mrs. Jessop is a 1917 American silent comedy film directed by Will S. Davis and starring Emily Stevens, Howard Hall, and William H. Tooker. It was released on December 10, 1917.

Production

The film is one of at least fifty from the period (about 1912–1924, "including shorts, multi-reelers and one 15 part serial") which made use of double exposure to create the illusion of the actor appearing on screen in two places at the same time in two roles, as noted by Lisa Bode in a survey of these films.
