Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Woman of the Hour It is a lodging-house in which "men only" are harbored. One of the rooms is being used as a polling place for a city election. This room is located at the right side of the stage. In it are shown the judge and clerks of election. Here also is shown the ballot box, with a long row of curtain-shaded booths that are supposed to insure secret voting. Desultory voting is going on. After receiving an official ballot from the election judge each voter retires into a booth, where the ballot is supposed to be marked in secret. Partitions, in which several doors are shown, separate the polling place from the other two rooms. To the left is shown the interior of one of the latter rooms - the round-up room or "black-hole" - in which lodging house voters, wearing tattered clothes, are huddled together on the floor, fairly piled upon one another, and forming an indescribable heap of the unkempt, drink besotted men, known as hoboes. They are human derelicts. This room is shrouded in partial darkness, and its denizens are partly concealed by a curtain. They are asleep: some are snoring. The third room is the office of the lodging house. It is a small room of the "cubby-hole" variety. It is located in front, near the center of the stage - between the two larger rooms. Here is seen the chief official of the lodging house. He fills the dual role of clerk and bouncer and is a ward politician of the typical lodging house districts in a great city. He is on guard at the desk, with his sleeves tucked up as far as the elbows. At the rear of the three rooms is a corridor with windows and an open door affording a view from the street into the polling-place and the office. At the street doors are groups of women. Several girlish faces can be discerned in the throng. All the members of these feminine groups are intelligent, educated, and cultured.
