Her Whole Duty (1912)
Judge Kelley is a good fellow, but is addicted to drinking to excess. He is removed from the bench in consequence. A few years later the Kelley family is living in reduced circumstances. Myra secures a position as reporter on the "Times." Judge Kelley promises his wife and daughter never to take another drop of "booze." Myra is seated at her desk in the "Times" office when Marvin receives a telephone message from the desk sergeant at a police station that there is material for a good story down there. He is buried with work and irritated. He goes to the reporters' room and finds Myra the only occupant. He orders her to go to the police station and get the story. She goes to the station and discovers her father. She returns to the office and tells Marvin that she cannot write the story. He is petulant and orders her to write the story quickly, under a threat of dismissal from the staff. She writes the story and lays it on the desk of Marvin and goes out. He reads the account of the arrest of the once prominent man and then that he is the father of the woman he loves. Hastily turning his work over to an assistant he rushes from the office without coat, hat and vest and reaches the street, where he inquires of a policeman if he has seen Myra, describing her. The copper points in the direction of the river front. Marvin rushes to the dock just in time to prevent Myra from throwing herself into the river. He takes her in his arms and begs her to forgive him. They clinch.
