1t is the day of marriage by capture
and, while they watch the chase, the
cave woman swap Dragging lies
about their own courtships.
Even after he had caught me, my
husband had to knock me senseless
with the trunk of tree" boasts one
matron.
Little Face escapes her pursuers
and runs upon the scene. Her angry
father threatens to kill her because
she has not been caught, and mo-
ment later, when all run into the cave
to elude an approaching tiger, he bars
the door to Little Face, leaving her to
perish.
Instead, she climbs tree in full
view of the audience. The spectacle
of the bare-legged heroine perform
ing this feat is appalling, whether
from the point of view of art or
morals.
And this is Little Faces oppor-
tunity. She has freed her man.
She makes love to him, only to
have him confess that he has a wife
and come cubs in distant cave and
to admit that he prefers his mate to
Little Face because she-the wife
is fatter and greasier 49,.
Then Little Face kicks him out of
the tree, but his desperate fear of the
nearing tiger forces him to Chamber
back He tells Little Face that he
loves her and that he will tomahawk
his wife. The spotlight plays upon
the brutal love-making of the freed |
couple for while and then the stage |
slowly darkens to pitch black.
In the final scene Little Face, who |
is thought by her family to have been
eaten by the tiger has founded "the |
Oldest profession in the world"
She is siren, sex eXploiter, white |

large and her nose so fat, sees her
self abandoned by the man who had
always chased hel whenever she
went out alone and whom she fully
intended to permit to catch her some
day.
This time he chases, instead the
strange woman who is so improper
as to wear long skirts instead of
showing her bare legs like decent
woman" Little Face permits herself
to be caught and comes on the scene
with her sisters sweetheart.
When reproached with taking him
away she says that he is perfectly
free to go; that she gives herself to
no man, but lends herself to every
man" and so remains free. She walks
off the stage alone. but throws over
her shoulder an astounding specimen
of what is known as the come hith-
err eye.
The man starts to follow her when
the young sister, Selling an extra ami
nal skin, wraps it about her bare
legs and, thus endowed with the
charm of mystery, wooes him to re-
main.
