The Apple (1914)
Promising to send for his sweetheart Roza, when he gets settled, Hugo Hunfalvy leaves Hungary for America. In New York he meets Louis Kaplan, an old friend, who owns a fruit store. Louis' sister, Marie, is pretty and flirtatious, and is much impressed by Hugo. He soon falls under the influence of her wiles and buys part interest in Louis' store. Some weeks later, Hugo receives word that Roza is coming on the next steamer. He is not over-pleased, as he had almost forgotten her. When Roza arrives, Marie slyly calls attention to the newcomer's provincial manners and peasant clothes, causing Hugo much embarrassment. Roza receives a visit from her Aunt Sophia, who sees how things are going and determines to help the girl. Hugo marries Roza and they continue living with the Kaplans. Hugo treats his wife very coldly and the climax comes when he leaves her to attend a theatre party with Marie. Roza is heartbroken and goes to her Aunt's for sympathy. Sophia is a wise woman, pretends a sudden illness and insists only Roza shall nurse her. Marie is no housekeeper and Hugo soon misses Roza's neat ways and good cooking. In accordance with her plans, Sophia gives Roza money to buy modern dresses and fashionable finery, so when Hugo calls and sees Roza in her new clothes, he realizes she is very beautiful. Awakened at last to the fact that his wile is his dearest possession, he fervently entreats her to come back to him. At first she is cold and indifferent, but softens and finally consents, provided he will buy a little home of their own. He eagerly agrees, kisses her passionately and Sophia watches them in their happiness.
