Review of The Painted Lady

A lonely lady wants to find a beau, but she isn't particularly beautiful. She sees another woman who is a "painted lady" have TONS of boyfriends and so she, too, wants to put on powder and makeup and get man. But, she is too shy and can't bring herself to paint herself up plus her father is very strict and doesn't seem to want her to date,...ever! Well, she does meet what seems like a nice guy and he pledges his heart to her. However, a bit later, he returns in disguise to rob her home! She doesn't recognize him and shoots the robber. When she finds out it was HIM, she goes crazy! Wow,...this really strains credibility, doesn't it?! This is just an okay Biograph short by D. W. Griffith. It's interesting but a bit clumsier and less involving than most and is apparently a warning against opening your home to strangers.
