The Two Pigeons (1909)
This pair of young lovers whose romantic lives form the interesting subject of this richly colored picture, are seen in their simple little home where the devoted youth showers his attentions upon the simple little maiden. One day they have a slight disagreement, and while the youth is absent, another more gallant Romeo comes and induces the maiden to flee with him to the splendor of gay life which his riches can procure. The impulsive girl leaves a note on the table telling her lover that she will never see him again, after which she goes away with her new admirer. The axiom, "All is not gold that glitters," becomes a stern reality, before many days have been spent in her new surroundings, and her tired and weary heart yearns for the pure love of the noble youth who she cast aside for one who soon proves himself unworthy of such a pure devotion. One day she finds her new lover in the company of another woman and is spellbound upon hearing him tell her the same tale of love which she, herself, has so often heard emanating from the same false lips. Enraged with jealousy, the maiden casts the many beautiful gifts at the false lover's feet and after denouncing him, she flees from the place. Wandering back to the old familiar scenes she finds her first and only true love still waiting for her return, and feeling satisfied that the spender of riches are transitory, she is satisfied to devote the rest of her life to the one who loves her truly. The youth overjoyed at her safe return gladly forgets the past and accepts the penitent maiden as his future wife.
