The Screen Fan Synopsis

The opening of the picture shows the artist (James Montgomery Flagg) equipped with his pencil paraphernalia commencing his work of sketching in various moods a young woman seated in front of him to whom he relates the story of the character for which she is to pose. Then follows the film version of the story in which the screen fan in the shape of a pretty young woman sits in the front row at the theater, her countenance reflecting colorfully the tragedy of the screen. In due time aspirations become reality, and we find our heroine in close proximity with the Cooper Hewitts. But while she awaits the call of the director she falls asleep and dreams a wonderful dream in which she becomes the leading woman of the play, living in ease and affluence, and treated with a heavenly respect such as none of her kind in wildest dreams has ever imagined. Finally the dream has a rude awakening in which the director summons her to enter a lion's cage to "make meat for the lion," assuring her that he "will be right outside and everything." The finish of the picture shows Miss Screen Fan making a hasty flight to "Mommer!"
