HE was ten. But his clothes were forty. And it was this difference in the matter of age, and, consequently, in the matter of size, that explained why, at first sight, he did not show how thin-bodied he was, but seemed, instead, to be rather a stout little boy. For his faded, old shirt, with its wide sleeves lopped off just above his elbows, and his patched trousers, shortened by the scissors to knee length, were both many times too large for him, so that they lay upon him, front, back and sides, in great, overlapping pleats that were, in turn, bunched into heavy tucks; and his kitchen apron, worn with the waistband about his neck, the strings being tied at the back, also lent him-if viewed from the front-an appearance both of width and weight. But he was not stout. His frame was not even fairly well covered. From the apron hem in front, the two legs that led down to the floor were scarcely larger than lead piping. From the raveling ends of his short sleeves were thrust out arms that matched the legs-bony, skinny arms, pallid as to color, and with hardly any more shape to them than there was to the poker of the cookstove. But while the lead-pipe legs ended in the sort of hard, splinter-defying boy's feet that could be met with on any stretch of pavement outside the tenement, the bony arms did not end in boyish hands. The hands that hung, fingertips touching halfway to the knee, were far too big for a boy of ten. They were red, too, as if all the blood of his thin shoulders had run down his arms and through his wrists, and stayed there. And besides being red, fingers, palms and backs were lined and crinkled. They looked like the hands of a hard-working, grown girl. That was because they knew dish washing and sweeping, bed making and cooking, scrubbing and laundering.

Adapted from her novel, Eleanor Gates' play "Poor Little Rich Girl" opened in New York to rave reviews with The New York Times claiming it "is as nearly a work of genius as our stage often sees." With its pungent criticism of social life, audiences found it one of the few intelligent plays for children and adults alike. Poor little rich Gwendolyn, who's wealthy father has no time for her, and her socialite mother hardly notices her, finds herself missing a real family. When her pitiless nurse over medicates her one night, Gwendolyn sinks into a fever dream of fact escaping into fancy. At the conclusion of its successful New York run, the play toured the country. In 1917 Mary Pickford starred in the first motion picture of the story. Later the property would be bought for a Shirley Temple version.

The Poor Little Rich Girl By Eleanor Gates

As Gwendolyn stared at the line the reflection of her small face in the mirror grew suddenly all white as if some rude hand had reached out and brushed away the pink from cheeks and lips. Eleanor Gates was an American playwright who created seven plays that were staged on Broadway. Her best known work was the play The Poor Little Rich Girl, which was produced by her husband in 1913 and went on to be made as films for Mary Pickford in 1917 and for Shirley Temple in 1936. Excerpt from The Poor Little Rich Girl Whatever otherwise the pretty virtues of our Amer ican drama, the quality of fanciful imagination is of the catalogue no (or at best, small) part. We have seen amongst us farce writers of light and facile finger; we have seen drama framers of intermittently rugged, if consistently yoke], philosophic vision. Yet, the writer of exploring phantasies, the writer of caprices that violate the neutrality of the sacrosanct Broadway commonplace, is but dimly silhouetted against the borning native sun.
