The Sculptor's Model (1915)
Richard Haynes, a millionaire sculptor, is selected by the Society of Art to do the marble figure of "Dawn," which is to occupy the center of the promenade in its new building. Unable to find a suitable model, he follows the suggestion of his housekeeper and goes to the country to try to locate the right type of girl. By chance he stops at the Gray farm, where Farmer Gray, his wife and son live, together with their adopted daughter, Una. Tom Gray, the son, and Una are in love, but the coming of Haynes changes things greatly. Una appeals to the sculptor as being the ideal type for his model. He tells her of the life that awaits her in the city and at length the girl goes away with him. Haynes takes her to his studio, where she poses as "Dawn." As the days go by she believes herself to be in love with him, though no word of this subject passes between them. Tom Gray leaves the farm and comes to the city in search of Una, for he fears harm may have come to her. In time the figure of "Dawn" is finished and Hayes apparently has no more interest in Una. Una is disillusioned and leaves the sculptor's studio forever, securing a position as maid in the home of a society leader. When he learns that she has gone away, Haynes wakes to the fact that he really loved the girl. Tom Gray finds Haynes and accuses him of having lured Una from home. Haynes, however, convinces him that he was merely an employer to Una but that he truly loves her. Tom also confesses his love for the girl and to search for her together and then let her choose between them. The society leader gives a card party and Haynes finds Una when he attends it. He tells Tom and the three are brought face to face. Una decides almost instantly that Tom is the one she loves and goes to his arms.
