Women dressed like men in the suffrage meeting. Women band members. Haymes' aunt beautifully dressed, but tough and strong personality mesmerized others. Betty dressed very femininely, and even showed the ankle part of her beautiful legs when Haymes was nearby glaring wolfishly.
Pilgrim, Peabody, Quincy. Boston New England names. Too much hatred of Boston, though. It would lose the Boston audience. Too insulting. There was no movie code against that kind of "ism".
Haymes was a beautiful singer. I also enjoyed him in the movie State Fair.
Type Writer became typist. Today, people type on smart phones and tablets. We no longer roll the paper into the platen. Today, also, women aspire to bachelor's degrees and higher, and not just office jobs. In the time portrayed in this movie, Betty's new profession was an uncomfortable situation and threatening to a lot of sexist men.
Betty was actually valedictorian over a bunch of men, who comprised most of the graduating class.
Miss is now Ms. Betty is still famous, and most people I would think never heard of Haymes.
I was looking for the movie about the woman Type Writer, thinking it starred Ginger Rogers, but I think that that movie was called The First Traveling Saleswoman, about a woman who sold corsets also in the same Gilded-Age time period of this movie The Shocking Miss Pilgrim.
1874 time period of this movie. American women got the right to vote in 1920. That was 46 years later. 1848 the American women's movement began with Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott. That was a long, long way, Baby, to 1920. Women, go out to vote next week. Don't stay home. Every time you stay home away from the voting booth, there is still some man out there who is happy you kept your intelligent voice out of the political arena.
This was a post World War Two movie, where many women had been Rosie the Riveter. The work world was no longer a stranger. It must have been amusing for women to see Betty conquering the all-male enclave, back in 1874.
I did like the singing of Betty, in this movie, plus Haymes also.
