Hugo the Hunchback (1910)
Hugo, the hunchback sculptor, maltreated by his master, and likewise by Bertrand, born of nobility, and affianced to Blanca. After Hugo's wares have been broken by Bertrand, it is only by the intercession of the priest, Silveria, that he is protected from a crowd of citizens. By royal command, Bertrand is made to wed Princess Olivia, rejecting Blanca, and her child born of their love. Hugo, at the request of the priest, trios to induce Bertrand not to desert Blanca and his child, but to no avail. Upon the reporting of this result to Blanca, she wends her way to the sea, bent upon suicide, rather than disgrace. She plunges into the waters with her babe. Hugo rescues her. Twenty Years Later. Hugo, famous and prosperous sculptor; Bertrand, a beggar through dissipation. In this picture of devotion and desertion we see happiness, contentment and satisfaction.
