How Molly Made Good (aka: How Molly Malone Made Good) is a 1915 American silent drama film directed by Lawrence B. McGill which is one of the first films to feature cameo appearances by major celebrities. It survives in the Library of Congress and is available on DVD. [1] [2] [3] The writer of the film, Burns Mantle, may have been influenced by the globe-trotting adventure of Nellie Bly in 1889, when the reporter circumnavigated the globe in a specified amount of time using several means of conveyance and visiting as many famous cities as possible.
