Our New Errand Boy


Our New Errand Boy is a 1905 British short silent comedy film, directed by James Williamson, about a new errand boy, engaged by a grocer who soon regrets the appointment. This relatively unambitious chase comedy, according to Michael Brooke of BFI Screenonline, is one of a number of Williamson films featuring a mischievous child, played by the directors son Tom. Although essentially a series of sketches, this film, according to David Fisher, demonstrates the extent to which Williamson had developed film technique For a start, the film has a title frame, which includes the logo of the Williamson Cinematograph Company, and, the chase section anticipates the American comedies of the next decade.
