Program Poster
It’s the year 1910. The car industry is burgeoning—but rumor has it a certain Thurston Motor Company isn’t doing so well. Fortunately, Mr. Thurston has a plan: his daughter, Clara, will marry a wealthy investor. Things take a turn, however, when Clara runs away to the vaudeville theater! There, she meets Joe, the factory foreman, who is moonlighting at the theater to raise money for orphans. With the help of some factory workers and a group of suffragettes, Joe and Clara will have to put on a fantastic show—while avoiding Mr. Thurston and his goons. Can they do it?
