The Lesson of the Narrow Street (1915)
Studying art in New York, a young artist, Phil Mayborn, is induced to invest his little pile of savings in Wall Street. He meets Sheldon, the eccentric Ruler of the Street, and mistaking him for a derelict because of his shabby appearance, asks him to pose for his painting, "What Wall Street Does to a Man." Appreciating the ironical humor of the situation, Sheldon consents. He takes a liking to the young man and when Phil's broker (one of Sheldon's agents), absconds with all available funds, including Phil's, Sheldon brings the young artist to his private office. After impressing upon dazed Phil that the Narrow Street wrecks men, body and soul, he gives the young man his money back. Having learned his lesson, Phil swears never again to gamble in Wall Street.
