Love and Tears (1912)

It was quite an event when John Levanson married Barbara St. Denis; very soon they became leaders in society. After a year the young wife is taken with a severe illness and the doctors admit that she will be a sufferer as long as she lives. After a while John wearies of the sickroom and gradually relaxes his attentions, and Barbara is heartbroken. One evening the doctors feel that her end is near and advise sending for John, but he is a dressing for a ball. In full dress he responds to the call and Barbara begs him to stay with her. He begs to be excused and promises to be back very shortly. Influenced by the gaiety of the dance, he forgets his wife and the hour promised passes in the revelry of the scene. The sick one waits and watches until the light of life goes out. After the ball John goes merrily home. At the door of the sickroom he starts back as he looks over the kneeling sisters.
