An alarming rumor having spread around New York City that the famous Biograph girl, our girl, our only girl, whom we have silently worshiped in effigy these many months, and to whom, by the way, in this column we have made many references which surely indicate our favorable opinion of this lady, rumor having gone around that "she" was no longer to be seen in the Biograph pictures, we went specially to inspect Monday's release for the purpose of satisfying not only our own doubts on the point, but those of many of our readers. For the number of this lady's admirers is legion. She is the heroine of many charming stories on the silent stage. Indeed, she is just as much a personality in the Biograph Stock Company as any well-known actress would be at a Broadway house. Our doubts were set at rest as soon as the film "Through the Breakers" commenced to appear. "Through the Breakers" is a society story, written, as it were, from life. A pleasure loving wife and a club loving husband neglect a little child who suffers and dies before our eyes whilst her parents join in the social whirl. This is a Fifth avenue tragedy and it works out as all stories do: strictly according to law. The parents come to their senses when it is too late. The subject is, perhaps, somewhat melancholy, but it is well carried out by the Biograph Company, who show us some very finished acting. But we do not like the morbid or the melancholy on the moving picture stage and we prefer to see our own heroine in light comedy. Anyhow there she is, and we hope to see her again taking her part in the well dressed, well mounted, well finished Biograph pictures which are always such fine, rich, even, uniform specimens of moving picture photography, flawless of their kind, and object lessons in technique to recent entrants into the moving picture making field. - The Moving Picture World, December 18, 1909
