REEL NO. TITLE PRODUCER
A-249 and A-250 The Yellow Girl Vitagraph
A charming and artistic decorative playlet. The title is that of a musical comedy, of which the star is having her portrait painted by a young artist whose society sweetheart is jealous of his imagined attachment for the actress. The romance of another couple parallels that of the leaders and everything comes out just right in the end. The costumes, decorations, furnishings and settings are exquisite compositions of black and white, which give a brilliant contrast in every scene.

During the Spring Dance of the Green Boughs the Sun Priest tells the story of the turquoise stone which fell from the sky centuries before and was embedded in the earth, the recovery of which would mean light, happiness and prosperity to the people of Isleta. The Great Brother (Wilfred Lucas), the exemplar of the tribe, is chosen as the one most worthy to be sent on the holy mission. He endures many hardships during his long quest, and returns empty handed to learn that the sky stone of happiness has been found in his own village by his former sweetheart (Mary Pickford), whose constant prayers are thus rewarded.
