Wanted a Wife (1912)
Young bachelor Charles Hubbard is left a large legacy by his uncle's death, with a provision that he must marry within 30 days. Not having decided after 29 days, he places an advertisement in the papers for a wife who will allow herself to be divorced after the ceremony, offering the sum of $10,000 as an inducement. A swarm of women besieges him, none of whom he wants to lead to the altar, even for a momentary ceremony. A female reporter calls on him to get the story, and after a brief conversation he suggests that she take up the proposition. Thoughts of her invalid mother prompt her to accept, and the wedding takes place. She receives the $10,000 and goes home, while Hubbard makes his way to his bachelor apartments. To his surprise he finds that he has fallen in love with the lady and that he really wants her for his wife. He rushes to her home and finds that she has also fallen in love with him, and after a little persuasion she falls into his arms and receives her mother's blessing.
