Film-Poster (1916) by #BurtonRice. Painted face of actress #MaryMacLaren. Text below:
"Bluebird Photoplays announce Mary Mac Laren in an extraordinary cinema production "Shoes"
By #StellaWynneHerron - from #JaneAddam's "An Ancient Evil"
Produced by that master genius #LoisWeber."

Wenn ich eine #KI erfinden würde, dann eine, die in einem #Film wie #Shoes von Regisseurin #LoisWeber über #Armut, ökonomischen Terror, prekäre Wohnsituation, sexuelle Ausbeutung von Frauen, das Einblenden von wenigstens schmieriger, herabwürdigender McMakler-#Werbung nicht zulässt. "Werbung essen #Kultur auf".

If I were to invent an #AI, it would be one that doesn't allow the display of at least sleazy, degrading "McMakler" adverts in a film like Shoes of Lois Weber about poverty, economic terror, precarious housing, sexual exploitation of women. "Advertising eats up culture".

Suspense (1913)

One of the split-screen scenes. When you pay close attention you can see the Wife (Lois Weber) exclaim ”Hello? Operator?” #Bales2023FilmChallenge June 11: Say Hi! on #SayHi...
