Caprice (1913 film)
Caprice is a 1913 silent film produced by Daniel Frohman and Adolph Zukor released by Famous Players Film Company and starring Mary Pickford. J. Searle Dawley directed. Though Zukor helped finance the film it was distributed on a 'State's Rights' arrangement primarily since no Paramount Pictures had yet to exist. The story of this film had been acted on the stage by a young Minnie Maddern Fiske in the 1880s, one of her earliest successes as an adult actress. The same story gives Pickford the chance to arise to the height of a fine actress instead of just merely a popular performer. This film is lost.[1][2]

gollark: Markets seem to work better than the alternatives, at least. Perhaps I'm just saying this because I live in a reasonably wealthy country and whatever, but you know.
gollark: Although yes, you probably can't have everyone run large customer facing businesses.
gollark: Approximately, sure. But with higher skilled jobs. And you could still have offices and whatnot if your contract included coming in to physically work with people.
gollark: > cuz if everyone would run a business things wouldnt go well(responding to this)
gollark: Not under the current model of work, but you could replace "go to work and are paid to do whatever is directed by someone" with "hired on contract to perform some specific task".
