Pioneer woman filmmaker Lois Weber weaves a beautifuIIy simple story of one shop girI s struggIes into a heartbreaking cinematic masterpiece. Filmed on the streets of Los Angeles incIuding a remarkabIe scene in Pershing Square and another in front of WooIworth s on Broadway Weber foIlows the daiIy travails of Eva Meyer, whose meager wages from her job at a five-and-dime store are the sole financiaI support for three younger sisters, a struggling mother, and a father who prefers beer and penny dreadfuls to work. When there is barely enough to cover the grocer s biIl, Eva is forced to patch the holes in the soles of her shoes with cardboard. But with each rainy day and every splinter, her plight becomes more painful, and finaIly intolerable. With no soIution in sight, Eva is forced to consider other options. |
