Love's Sunset (1913)
Wrapped up in his art, women do not attract Wilton Towne. He shows this plainly at a dance and is glad when Harold Heath, an intimate friend, takes him away. He goes straight home, but Heath stops at a fashionable restaurant, where he becomes fascinated by a beautiful cabaret dancer, named Nita Travers. He persuades her to give up dancing and enjoy a life of ease with him. Her happiness is short-lived, however, for Heath soon tires of her and goes away to Europe. She is then forced to go out and earn her living. She falls rapidly in the scale of life, and finally becomes a dancer in a cheap, vulgar dance hall. She is taken from there by a Salvation Army rescue woman and gotten a position as nurse maid with a wealthy family who have two dear little children. Towne, the artist, knows the family and visits them often. He becomes interested in Nita and eventually falls in love with her. A realization of this comes to him as he sits alone in his cozy den and sees her sweet beautiful face in a cloud of cigarette smoke. When Towne proposes to Nita, she feels that she should tell him of her past life, but she longs so much for his love that she has not the courage to do so and becomes his wife without letting him know. Her married life is blissfully happy, filled with the love of her husband and of a dear little golden-haired boy with which she is blessed. Three years after Heath's departure for Europe, he returns home. He bears of Towne's marriage and goes to see him at his country villa. When Nita recognizes him she almost collapses with terror and reveals all to her husband. He is furious and drives her from the house. She wanders away and soon loses her mind. Days afterward she strays back to the villa only to die in the arms of her husband, not knowing that he has forgiven her. Their little boy stands nearby looking on with big, wondrous eyes.
