She's Done it Again
She's Done it Again is a 1910 American silent short comedy written by Lloyd Lonergan and produced by the Thanhouser Company in New Rochelle, New York. A thief named Sikes decides to rob a society woman who falsely claimed to have been robbed when she in fact pawned her jewelry. A gentleman thief strikes and robs her, but no one believes her. The thief is caught only by a clever detective. The film was the third release of the Thanhouser company and featured the leading players, Anna Rosemond and Frank H. Crane. The film was met with positive reviews, but is presumed to be lost.
Plot
The official synopsis of the film survives in The Moving Picture World. It states: "Sikes, a gentleman of the Raffles order, reads in the paper that Mrs. Eldridge, a young society woman, who alleged that she had been robbed of her jewels, confessed that she had in reality pawned them - admitting that the robbery was a prearranged affair in which she played the leading role and her maid the supporting one. Sikes decides to have it appear that the lady robbed herself a second time. Disguised as a clergyman, he obtains the jewels. Naturally, everybody believes Mrs. Eldridge [is lying] again [...]! And then - a clever detective turns up and shows [that the] public opinion [is] mistaken by fastening the offense on the real offender." It is likely that Anna Rosemond played the role of Mrs. Eldridge and that Frank H. Crane played the role of Sikes.
