Coffee"; a great story of a cabaret dancer who, much like the real life Mae West, is always doing shocking new acts, and she hits on the idea of pretending to be a Salvation Army worker, so that she can recreate that in her act, but while she is in her pretend role, she meets a poor truck driver, who she falls in love with, but when he learns that she is making fun of the poor in her act, he wants nothing to do with her, but everything works out in the end) starring Leatrice Joy, Victor Varconi, May Robson, Alice Lake, and Elise Bartlett. Note that this is a "lost" film which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist. Note that director Lois Weber was the first woman ever to direct a feature-length film (she directed "The Merchant of Venice" in 1914). She had been an actress beginning in 1908, and by 1916, she had become Universal Studios' highest paid director, and she had an assistant director named John Ford! In the early 1920s, her career went downhill, and she made her last movie in 1934, and died penniless in 1939. She is completely forgotten today, except by major film buffs, which is very sad, because she is an extremely important person in the history of movie-making!
