Robert and Bertram (1915 film)

Robert and Bertram is a 1915 American silent comedy film directed by Phillips Smalley and Lois Weber. The film is based on the popular German play Robert and Bertram (original title Robert und Bertram, oder Die lustigen Studenten) by Gustav Raeder, which involves two mischievous students, Robert and Bertram, who embark on a series of pranks and escapades. While details about the 1915 film are scarce, it is known that it was a feature-length production and starred actors portraying the titular characters. Like many silent films from this era, Robert and Bertram is now considered lost, meaning no known copies of the film are currently in existence. The play Robert und Bertram has been adapted numerous times into film versions, both silent and sound, in various countries, primarily in Germany.
