That line, from a song in MARY POPPINS is probably all most people know about Mrs. Pankhurst, a leading suffragette in this period. This early early feature shows her and Harriet Stanton Blatch, also a leader in the movement. But other than that it it is a thinly told story fronting for a plea for women's vote: give them the vote and corrupt union bosses like this movie's Boss John Kelly will be out on their ears.
Well, I'm sure it pleased the faithful, but I doubt it converted anyone to the Cause. The movie suffers from a number of defects. We are never shown the Boss doing anything in the least despicable and the movie turns into largely a series of illustrated title cards with some decent, if overplayed acting.
Director Will Louis, if he is remembered at all, is remembered for directing a young Oliver Hardy in a series of repertory comedies for Vim in Florida. His directorial abilities remained rudimentary through the end of his career, three years later. This movie is interesting solely for a chance to look at movies of Mrs. Pankhurst.
