A Daughter of Earth (1915)
Grown to womanhood, she has never known any other life than that of the farm, where she abides with her father and brother. The village doctor is the most wonderful man she has ever met, and he loves her. She consents to marry him. Then a well-to-do city broker visits the homestead, hears her sing, and predicts fame for her if she goes before the public. For fame she turns her back on home, father, lover. In the city, the broker finds apartments for her and arranges her debut. The home folks read a newspaper account and go to hear her sing. At the stage door, after the concert, they are thrust back and not permitted to see her. Returning home, the old man dies of grief. His daughter, summoned by telegram, arrives too late, and is coldly received by her brother and the doctor. Back in the city, she learns the real purpose of the broker who pretends to be her friend, and disgusted "with the shallowness of life, returns to implore forgiveness from her brother and her lover. They find it hard to believe that she is really penitent, but her lover, first to be won over, pleads with her brother and induces him to forgive.
