His Chorus Girl Wife (1914)

It was quite like the worldly Mr. Bruce to place a misconstruction upon Reggie's attentions to Gladys Warwick, but as the young people had kept their marriage secret, it was impossible for Mr. Bruce to understand his son's feelings, and as Reggie stood in awe of his father, he was forced to close up his newly furnished flat and tell Gladys to return home until he was able to arrange matters differently. She followed out this program, but in spite of her every effort, she was unable to keep her secret from her mother and after confiding in her, she happened to overhear a conversation between her parents in which her father spoke of her as having disgraced the family. Outraged at this unjust treatment, she left the house, but on arriving at a railroad junction, who should she meet but Reggie and his father on their way to a Thanksgiving Day reunion. The shock of this meeting added to her other worries, was too much for the young girl, and she fell in a faint. When she opened her eyes, she was startled to find that Mr. Bruce was attending her. She was trying to explain matters, but he had already understood, and just as Reggie returned with a glass of water, Mr. and Mrs. Warwick appeared on the scene, having started in search of Gladys as soon as her absence became known to them. The recognition of both of the old men that their fears were entirely unfounded, brought about a real feeling of thanksgiving, which was celebrated by them all with a distinct feeling that theirs was. in all reality, a real Thanksgiving celebration.
