Amidst her many dramatic film assignments at Vitagraph, the lovely Clara Kimball Young found time to star in an on-and-off series of parody melodramas, the first of which was The Fates of Flora Four Flush. Clearly inspired by the success of such serials as The Perils of Pauline, this harmless trifle casts Young as the title character, a constantly imperiled millionairess, with Charles Brown as the honest, upright hero, and L. Rogers Lytton as the black-hearted villain. Mercilessly kidding the conventions of blood-and-thunder "mellers," this three-reeler was, to paraphrase the reviewer for Variety, an extended banana-peel joke. Even so, audiences laughed uproariously, thoroughly enjoying the sight of the poised, serenely lovely Young letting her hair down in an unabashed farce. Though Fates of Flora Four Flush apparently no longer exists, its quality can probably be measured by another of Clara Kimball Young's serial parodies of the period, Good Gracious, in which she was teamed with the equally popular Sidney Drew.
