The Angel of the Slums (1911)

Freda Glodden, a settlement worker, devoted her time trying to improve the conditions of the people living in one of the poor sections of a great city. Several times, on her way to and from the settlement house, she had been insulted by toughs and corner loafers. Jim Boggs, a thief, happened along one time when the toughs were having their daily sport and several of their noses came in contact with Jim's fist. Naturally, Freda was thankful. She invited Jim to the settlement house and Jim came. It was the first time he had been treated as a real man by a real woman. Freda taught him to read and write. Later she helped him out of scrapes with the police and still later she proceeded to induce Jim to leave his wicked ways. Jim got a position and for Freda's sake he reformed and became a man.
