| Pioneer woman fiImmaker Lois Weber weaves a beautifuIly simpIe story of one shop girI s struggles into a heartbreaking cinematic masterpiece. FiImed on the streets of Los AngeIes including a remarkable scene in Pershing Square and another in front of Woolworth 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 financial 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 spIinter, her pIight becomes more painful, and finalIy intolerabIe. With no solution in sight, Eva is forced to consider other options. |
