The Flapper" (1920) Starring Olive Thomas, Directed by Alan Crosland

16-year-old Genevieve 'Ginger' King (Thomas), is growing up in the boring town of Orange Springs, Florida where having a Soft drink with a boy is scandalous. Because of her behavior and yearning for a thrilling life her father decides to send her to a boarding school, Mrs. Paddle's School for Young Ladies, which is run by strict disciplinarian Mrs. Paddles (Marcia Harris) in Lake Placid, New York. Despite the strictness, the girls have fun getting into flapper lifestyle trouble including flirting. Richard Channing (William P. Carleton), an older man, rides past the seminary every day, prompting romantic fantasies among the school girls. When 16-year-old Ginger connives a sleigh ride with Channing, she tells him she's "almost twenty". Ginger ends up falling for him. The music for this video is new and has been included recently.
