Norma from Norway (1911)
Valdamar bids his wife, Norma, goodbye in far-away Norway and goes to America to seek his fortune. Arriving in America he quickly secures work and a year later we find he has prospered and sends money and a letter to his wife, asking her to come to him. Norma, with her young baby, sets out to join her husband, expecting to meet him on the dock on the arrival of the steamer. A few days before the steamship is expected, Valdamar is seriously hurt and taken to a hospital. Norma arriving in the new country and not finding Valdamar at the pier is in despair. A kindly laborer on the dock takes her to a Norwegian family, where she is given temporary shelter. Her funds becoming exhausted she knows not which way to turn. The lady with whom she is living shows her an advertisement in the newspaper stating that a Mrs. James Mason wishes to adopt a healthy baby to take the place of her own child, which had recently died. For the baby's sake Norma consigns her infant to Mrs. Mason. The same day Valdamar is discharged from the hospital cured. Going to the steamship dock he asks if anyone there has seen his wife. The laborer who met her and took her to the Norwegian family tells Valdamar of the circumstance and he goes in search of his wife and baby. Arriving at the poor little house they find Norma' s room empty, but as they are about to leave Norma returns home much to the joy of Valdamar, but his new-found happiness is short lived when he learns that Norma has given the baby to Mrs. Mason, and they both vow they must have the child back. Their heartbroken appeal to Mrs. Mason has its effect, however, and the child is returned to its happy parents.
