Louise Glaum Makes A Pretty Boy
boblipton7 January 2023
Louise Glaum has to disguise herself as a man to get a job as a cook on a ranch. When the owner's two lady cousins visit, the cowhands are attentive, but they like the youth who brings them cookies, and soon discover Glaum is no boy.

It's a moderately funny comedy, carried on the charms of Miss Glaum. She would soon find herself among the leading screen vamps, peaking about 1920 with the obviously named SEX, proclaimed "the Tiger Woman" to make her movie character seem exotic. After 1920, vamps became less popular as flappers became the thing, and she left the screen in 1925. She died in 1970 at the age of 82.

Early western short
Mozjoukine9 November 2015
Passable early western short included in a program of gender bending cowboy primitives at the Pordenone Silent Film Week in 2015.

To get the cook job at the ranch Glaum (later in HELLS HINGES) disguises as a boy and is subjected to male rough housing till her hair falls out of her hat.

This generates an immediate proposal from foreman McDonald - happy end.

Plausible western setting and costuming.

Reasonable quality copy.

Not much else to say about this unless you want to pretend a bogus status for the film or yourself as a writer.
