The Other Woman (1913)
Mary Clarke comes home from a convent school and meets her father's friend Tom Morton, who immediate plans a match between Mary and his son Harry. Harry isn't pleased about the arrangement because he is infatuated with--and engaged to--actress Lasca Duran. But as the only alternative to not marrying Mary is being disinherited, he consents. Mary has fallen in love with Harry and they are married. After the honeymoon she discovers a letter written by Harry to Lasca, in which he tells of his love and ridicules his wife as a nun and a quiet little mouse. Mary calls on Lasca and pleads for her husband. Lasca carelessly toys with a pistol which she has been using for a paperweight, and says that she would rather kill him than give him up. Mary attempts to take the revolver from Lasca. In the struggle it is discharged and Lasca is killed. The maid, who decides to befriend Mary, takes her out and puts her on a train for her parents' home. Harry comes to call on Lasca and is bending over her dead body when the police enter. He is accused of the crime and arrested. On the last day of the trial, Mary learns of Harry's predicament, goes to the courthouse, and tells the whole story, thus freeing him. He realizes his love for Mary and wants to take her in his arms, but she will not let him. She returns home with her parents, telling Harry not to come until she sends for him. A couple of months later, Harry receives his summons and learns, for the first time, that he is a father. He gathers his wife and child in his arms and receives her forgiveness.
