Love, Snow and Ice (1915)
Mr. Farley wants his daughter, Jean, to marry Clarence Ponsonby, a young man styling him a self-made man. Jean thinks he made a pretty poor job of himself, despises him and is already in love with Cutey Mason. All live near Lake George up in the cold country, and when the lake freezes over, Jean undertakes to teach Clarence and her father skating. By previous arrangement, Cutey shows up, proposes to Jean in the middle of the lake, then when Pa and Clarence stumblingly interpose, the young people simply elope, leaving them to slowly and painfully follow. Hiring a cutter sleigh, Jean and Cutey start for the Justice of the Peace ten miles up the lake, closely pursued by father and Clarence in another sleigh. Cutey's sleigh turns over, but they make their way to a nearby toboggan slide, pile onto one of the big sleds and shoot out over the lake at a high rate of speed. Their pursuers do likewise, but Clarence gets left behind by falling down a steep hill into a crowd of revelers on their way to the mid-winter ice carnival. Mr. Farley, taking a short cut through the deep snow, reaches the Justice of the Peace ahead of the elopers, but that gentleman is on his way to the carnival. He meets Cutey and Jean, warns them papa is awaiting them at his house and tells them to meet him at the carnival, where he will marry them. Cutey hires an ice-boat and is soon speeding towards the carnival at the upper end of the lake. Papa Farley sees them, jumps into another ice-boat, and after some hair-raising bursts of speed, all reach the carnival. The elopers are married by the Justice just before Papa Farley and Clarence, whom he has met at the carnival, arrive. Papa decides to make the best of it, tells Clarence he is not wanted, then all make their way round the carnival. After watching the ice-skating, both fancy and racing, the parade floats and the ice palace, the newlyweds depart with Pa's blessing in a big dog-sledge on the honeymoon.
