Eleanor's Catch (1916)
Overview
ELEANOR'S CATCH is a delightful short, directed by and starring Cleo Madison. A successful actress, Madison was one of many women who directed films at Universal, particularly in the mid 1910s.

A terrific surprise ending gives Eleanor and Cleo an early claim to promoting women’s equality in the workforce.
