Three Ages**  
(US 1923)     
Metro/Joseph M. Schenck. 63m, bw. silent

In modern, Roman and caveman eras, a simpleton seeks to win his sweetheart over his physically superior rival.
Simplistic Keaton spoof of Intolerance with basically the plot repeated three times over, with some occasionally quirky humorous variations. It was his first feature venture beyond 3 reels however, and later efforts greatly improved, so this first effort can be forgiven.

Producer: Joseph M. Shenck.
