The SYMBOLIC FIGURE" VOTes FOR WOMEN
APPEARING TO KATE IN HER CELL

Mccormick said, "merely move their
lips vocelessly in q speaking part be-
fore the camera. Not so Dr. Shaw. Inc
opportunity of talking to an audience
Of three hundred persons wasn't to be
neglected. and so rehearsal OF the rally
scene toward the end was enlivened oy
witty suffrage talk from Dr.. SHAW.
When she had done II once the direc-
tor said. Now, Dr.. Shaw, I'd like an
other rehearsal Did she make the
same speech that time? Not she. 1t
was quite ap different one. A third re-
hearsal brought new speech. and LETT
the company wondering how many she
had in her, anyway"
Considered from the moving picture
play standpoint "Your Girl and Mine"
is built on a scale which will make it
of the big productions of the year,
=. il goes. 1t has in its cast more
people than appeared in "Quo Vadis."
Being a seven-reel play it consumes
an evening, and there are never more
than three or four plays of that length
brought out in one season.
The plot well, it is not easy TO give
an idea Of the plot in few words.
Briefly, though, it is built around three
themes. There is the fove motif, in
the relation between Rosalind and the
hero, Richard Burbank, the Lieutenant
| Governor, whom she marries IN the end.
There is the hate motif, in the relation
! between Kate, the poor but honest
working girl, and Ben Austin, the viii
lain. And there is what might be called
the graft motif, in the relation be-
tween Ben and Rosalind, whose first
husband he is, and who represents to
him the raft that IS to save him from
the food of pre-msrital debts.
The Plot.
A fine example OF loyalty from
woman TO woman is shown By Kate,
who firmly resolves when she hears
that the man whom she once loved,
but now despises, is married to "the
heiress of the Fairiie fortune that
said heiress shall never hear OF her il
she can help it. This resolve leads up
to one OF the most thrilling scenes in
the play. Il is IN act two, when Kate,
driven out Of town by the prosecutions
of Ben, who feels that "no place is big
enough for the two Of them" has taken
refuge in a shanty on the outskirts.
She has lost her job in the factory,
also through the influence OF the
mslign Ben.
Her child and his is dead burned to
death in a tenement house fire, from

Dr.. ANNA SHAW
ADDRESSES THE SUFFRAGE
MCvi6" AUDIENCE

odrama Along with the principals
were engaged about three hundred
secondaries, "supes," etc. The payroll
for the production, it is said, was so
large that it was like the payroll of a
small factory,
And out of all this effort comes
"Your Girl and Nine" of which a spe-
cal performance was given at the
Auditorium Theatre, in Chicago, the
afternoon of October II. and which
will be seen this fall and winter at
many Of the largest motion picture
theatres throughout the country. At
least. Charles T. Hallinan, who has
come on from Chicago for Mrs. McCor-
mick to negotiate with the motion
picture exchanges here, says that mat
tiers are proceeding most satisfactorily
and that if women can get the vote
through melodrama. "Your Girl and
Mine" will be the vehicle.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1914-10-25

which it might have been saved if
there had been proper fire escapes.
Aunt Jane makes a nice suffrage
point here by pointing out that if
women voted there would have been
fire escapes.

tiers are proceeding most satisfactorily,
and that if women can get the vote
through melodrama. "Your Girl and
Mine" will be the vehicle.
A Moral in Every Line.
Melodrama of the most thrilling sort
it certainly is, in spite of the fact that
a moral is concealed in the very title
of the play, which hints that even az
the injustices and dangers of "man-
made" world beset the two girls on the
films, so they may overtskc anybody's
girl. But who is worried by moral in
a play which has an exciting hand-to
hand fight between man and woman
in one of the earliest acts? Who can
doubt that she is looking upon meo-
drama when the events range from a
wedding to u murder and suicide.
from the sobbiest kind of sob" court
scene to an automobile abduction that
breaks all former speed records?
That Symbolic Presence.
But where, suffragists may ask, does
"the cause" come in? 1t comes in
most subtly and POLITICALLY, symbolic
figure with "Votes for Women" across
its breast, that "fades in" and "fades
out" TO use technical phrase, at
critical periods in the plot. Persons
who saw the trial performance in Chi
cago say that this figure pleased the
audience remarkably well.
Suffrage is also represented by Aunt
Jane" a robust lady who never fails
to remind "Rosalind Fairlie," the
heiress-heroine who mistakenly marries
the villain, that if women had had d
hand in making the laws she wouldn't
find it so difficult to free herself from
