Notes

  • Mabel Normand plays Rose. Carl Miller plays Ted Tudor. Max Davidson plays the junk dealer.
  • Stan Laurel is both a writer and the assistant director.
  • Oliver Hardy had burned his arm when a pan of scalding grease spilled at home. He was still recovering when Raggedy Rose started, and the same injury took him off the Roach comedy Get 'Em Young, where Laurel replaced him.

Scenes

  • Rose, sorting junk for a miser, dreams of Ted Tudor.
