Love Will Out (1914)
Believing in "Art for Art's Sake," young sculptor Gerald is thoroughly disheartened by the return of his statue, "Inspiration," from the Academy, marked, "unavailable." He is in love with his neighbor Nell, who believes in "Art for Bread's Sake," specializes in commercial art, and is successful. She loves Gerald but despairs of his ever telling her because of his pride and ill success in his beloved ideals. Despondent, Gerald wanders into the poorer section of the city where he is accosted by a couple of thugs. On learning of his condition, they try to convince him that living "straight" doesn't pay and partially succeed. He promises to join them in their nefarious transactions, and goes back to his studio for something. While there, he seems to see his statue of "Inspiration" come to life, speak to him warningly and point out to him the ambitions and dreams of his youth. The vision fades, and now brought to a realization of the serious mistake he was about to make, Gerald tells the crooks he has changed his mind, that he intends to keep on the right path, so they must go on without him. They leave angrily, and the artist returns to his work with renewed enthusiasm. Hearing a well known connoisseur praising the statue of "Inspiration," Nell almost drags him to Gerald's studio, tells the gentleman that he may purchase the work from the young man inside, then darts into her own room. The two men come to terms, very satisfactory ones for both, and the connoisseur leaves. Gerald then calls on Nell, tells her of his good luck, but is unable to summon courage to propose until he sees her absently tearing corners from a card reading, "Do it now." Then Nell becomes his "inspiration" for life.
