Y., and came to the shadow stage via Vitagraph where her most notable work was done in “The Alibi.” Then she played a part in the Beatrice Fairfax serial.

“Unconsenting she consented” has never been better illustrated in art posting than in this scene from “The Highest Bid,” a brand new American Mutual Star picture. Elise, bound by her too ambitious mother, dares not give herself to the man she loves. The play of her heart against her duty is finely expressed—the pose of her head, the reluctant yet lovelorn eyes, the irresponsive yet clinging hands, and the back turned to her great desire, ably tell the story

For [The Yellow Girl’s] short length, it is said to be one of the most expensive pictures ever offered. No wonder! Not an exterior or interior scene but what was laid out with brush and stencil by the artist; not a costume but what was designed and made specially for this picture; not a “prop” hardly but what was obtained for this one picture only.
There is something of the Futurist school in the effects of the pictures—their sharp contrast of black and white; the use of simplest decorative schemes in such a way that novel beauty is obtained; the conventionalized design running thru the whole; and the weird, fantastic trees and bushes made to grow in parks and fields never seen outside of fairy books.
