Hi, Maid Ethel Browning
This is a comedy built around a subject which is at pr tlir discussion of the day in this country. How a thoroughly table British household.!, bitterly opposed to woman's
suffrage, becomes apparently a violent advocate of the cause, the difficulties this gets him into, finally leading to his arrest, his forcible rescue by a band of suffragettes, who believe him their champion, his final arrival home in a torn and dilapidated condition before his astonished wife, and, above all, how the fatal " votes for women " confronts him at the end — all these make the fun fast and furious. It can well be imagined that in such capable hands the leading parts leave nothing to be desired. The picture is entirely played in London, and the appropriate street backgrounds (including Trafalgar Square) add greatly to its value as a topical subject.
