The Yankee Girl
The Yankee Girl is a 1915 silent film comedy produced by Oliver Morosco, distributed by Paramount Pictures and starring Blanche Ring, from the Broadway stage.[1][2] This film though a comedy is actually based on Ring's 1910 musical-comedy play of the same name. Being a silent film of course Ring's singing could not be heard by the film audiences but they would get the rare chance of seeing this Broadway star in a film as many could not afford to make the journey to New York to see her in person in the play.

gollark: That's not some sort of universal truth, just a rough heuristic which is somewhat accurate.
gollark: I mean, those apply to some narrowly defined things in physics, for limited definitions of "action" and such, but not in general so far as I can tell.
gollark: I don't think so, unless you really stretch the definition most of the time or claim it's metaphorical or something.
gollark: Like "colourless green ideas sleep furiously" and such.
gollark: It's just that stuff like "thought isnt action. so things that started as thought are just concepts in action, the action is still the same action as all other actions, push and pull." and "every action has an equal and opposite reaction" don't seem like... semantically meaningful sentences. I mean, they're... valid sentences, but don't look like they're actually conveying any true useful information.
