Sis Hopkins (1919 film)

Sis Hopkins is a 1919 American comedy film directed by Clarence G. Badger and starring Mabel Normand. The film is based on the popular stage play of the same name, written by Rose Melville, who also originated and performed the title character on stage for many years.

The film tells the story of Sis Hopkins, a young, unsophisticated, and somewhat eccentric country girl who unexpectedly inherits a large sum of money. She is then sent to live with her wealthy relatives in the city to learn proper etiquette and find a suitable husband. Sis's naive and unconventional behavior creates comedic situations as she struggles to adapt to high society.

While the film was a popular release during its time, it is now considered a lost film. No known complete prints are known to exist. Some stills and promotional material survive, offering a glimpse into the film's production and Normand's portrayal of the beloved character. The popularity of the play and the casting of Mabel Normand, a major star of the silent era, contributed to the film's initial success.
