Watch Up-to-date Burglars (1902)

Up-to-date Burglars — Comedy Film (1902)

A comic cops and robbers chase, featuring The Omers, a prominent family of acrobats and vaudeville performers known for their high-energy tumbling and "risley" acts (foot-juggling). The Pathé company released two versions of the film, catalogued 647 and 648, one running for 6-7 minutes and the other one reduced to 4. Contemporary releases in the UK called it "The Omers: Up-to-date Burglars" and, in the US, just "Up-to-date Burglars". The title "Modern Burglars" was given recently, therefore, alternative.
