Under the considered Biographs he has made "Those Awful Hats" is disparate; It's a simple, comical, farce with people in an audience going through an experience through a very different medium from any other excursions they were accustomed to and this certainly mirrors a different style to me.
It's a different style as what's being experienced is a prestidigitation and that's slightly different to his usual tone in Cinema. It's almost like a Kinetoscope version of "Those Awful Hats" in its aspect ratio and anamorphic screen size, the way it's stretched out on its pristine format.
Regardless of its short screen time, points of interest include Griffith's first wife, Linda Arvidson, as one of the stellar's in the movie and Mark Sinnet who is also in it.
Apart from that, it's only really interesting as it is one of the first projects Griffith ever embarked on as prior to this he was a vaudevillian stage actor. He was also in "Rescued from an Eagle's Nest" in 1907.
