What's Worth While? (1921)
Phoebe Morrison, a wealthy young lady, is shown a photograph of handsome Squire Elton by her father. Since Elton is a partner in her father's oil business, the girl goes west to meet him. The two fall in love, but Phoebe decides her prospective husband needs more polish comparable to the men she knew in the east. So Elton goes on a tour of Europe, returns a refined gentleman, and marries Phoebe. But now Phoebe feels he has lost some of his charm. Then she thinks he is having a fling with her cousin Sophia. So she decides the best solution is for Elton to return to his original environment out west. She feigns ill health, and persuades him to move, and gradually he becomes the man she fell in love with. Then Elton confesses that he had been acting the part of an Eastern gentleman to teach Phoebe a lesson.
