Slow but powerful and earnest piece decrying child labor. As the factory owners live a life of ease and short takes, the workers -- including children -- suffer a life of hardship and long takes. Loom for future star director James Cruze -- director of THE COVERED WAGON -- who was a contract player for Thanhouser at this time.
