Wanted... a Grandmother (1912)
Young actress Kitty Mallory, in straitened circumstances and looking for the immediate dollar, she sees an ad in the newspaper for an elderly lady to be companion to a little invalid boy. She answers it and receives a favorable reply. She makes herself up to fit the requirements and is selected for the position from a number of applicants. Assuming her duties, she finds them and her surroundings very pleasant. Mr. Hale, a very attractive, kind widower, wins her heart, and she becomes as interested in him as she is in his son Phillip. The strain of keeping up the deception of her age and personality becomes irksome, and she decides to leave. One night, after she has put Phillip to bed and she is about to retire herself, the little fellow becomes ill. Forgetting that she has removed her gray wig, she solicitously calls Mr. Hale to hasten for a doctor. Mr. Hale anxiously enters the room to see his child, and is surprised to discover that Kitty is not an old lady, but a very charming young person. Tearfully, she explains to Mr. Hale why she has misrepresented herself and tells him she will to leave. Phillip asks her to remain, and tells his father how good she has been to him and how much he loves her. Kitty agrees to stay. Mr. Hale himself is charmed with Kitty's tenderness, and often thought what a good mother and wife she would make. There is a mutual evidence of love in Kitty's and Mr. Hale's eyes as they meet each other's advances. He tells her she can stay under one condition: that she will be Phillip's mother and his wife. Kitty willingly consents and Phillip joyfully proclaims his satisfaction.
