Subject

The Cleaveland Leader published this article about Marie Doro playing Oliver Twist.

Description

Marie Doro played the male role of Oliver Twist in 1916. It wasn't uncommon for females to play males. However, it was becoming less accepted, as we can see from the snarky town of this article. While Doro wore trousers in the film, it was frowned upon for women to wear trousers in public.
