The Social Secretary (1912)
Young widow Laura Tryon finds making a living for herself and her son Brooks difficult. She answers an ad for a social secretary and is engaged in that capacity by society girl Beatrice Wallington, who is engaged to society man Kempton Greene, but they're not really in love with each other. Greene and Laura fall in love, but Laura, believing that she is doing Beatrice wrong by taking Greene's love away from her, leaves the Wallington home. Greene tries in vain to locate the young widow. Beatrice, meanwhile, actually falls in love with a young duke and asks Greene to release her from their engagement. Greene does so without regret. After leaving the Wallington home, Laura and little Brooks are about to be turned out of their little room, when the child gets a notion in his baby head that he will go to work and make some money. He steals from the house and starts on a job hunting expedition. The little fellow tackles everyone he meets and causes much amusement to different people by his earnest request for a "job." But fate guided the child in his search. Kempton Greene, in his office, is surprised when a very little boy entered and with all the seriousness in the world announced that he wanted to work for Greene to make money for his mama. Greene decides to take little Brooks home, and discovers that the little man's mama is the woman he cares for more than all else in the world. Greene marries the young widow while Beatrice marries her duke.
