Why Husbands Flirt?
Sounds like a popular, self-help book. Actually, it’s a silent film from 1918, uncovered in a New Zealand archive, along with more than 70 other movies, now being preserved and on the way home to the States. Most prominent of the group is John Ford’s Upstream (1927), about a backstage romance with an actor and a target girl from a knive-throwing act (how cool is that?). I’m also psyched to see The Active Life of Dolly of the Dailies (1914), featuring an intrepid woman reporter, and The Girl Stage Driver (1914). Must’ve been the turn of the last century, when women were getting the good parts. And it’s comforting to know that a flirting husband is a phenomenon with roots.
