Barriers of Prejudice (1915)
Gerald, only son of aristocratic, wealthy Mrs. Howe, falls in love with, and despite opposition marries, Meg, adopted daughter of poor fisherwoman Anne. Selfishly, Mrs. Howe tries in every way to separate Gerald from Meg; at first she fails, but aided by money and friends and by playing upon his filial love, Mrs. Howe finally succeeds--immediately after an unfortunate quarrel--in weaning her son away from his young bride and securing his consent to get a divorce from her. Gerald's mother keeps from him the fact that Meg has given birth, and divorce proceedings are well underway before Anne arrives in person at the Howe mansion to plead with Gerald to return to his wife and child. On learning the whole story from the straightforward fisherwoman's lips, Gerald begins to understand matters better and turns against his mother in favor of Meg. He leaves her a broken woman, and is soon in his wife's arms, while in the end the baby reunites them all in peace and forgiveness.
