"Eleanor's Catch" has 16 minutes to sketch a serious story of working people and those who may not have respectable work. Eleanor is played by Cleo Madison, with a solid visage and bearing that sets her apart from ethereal maidens and vamps played by better known stars. Edward Hearn, playing her boyfriend is similarly solid. Eleanor is tempted to show a bit of flash and wear good clothes. Her alternate move to civic responsibility does lack narration. There is also not time to say much about her sister's move to prostitution. Flash, as character and as way of life, in any case is defeated. Zola in miniature.
