His Grandchild (1913)
The Captain and Colonel have been life-long comrades, until a dispute over a game of chess disrupts their friendship, an incident that proves rather serious to the Colonel's son, for he is in love with the Captain's daughter. But love is indomitable. The young couple are secretly married, but when they seek for his father's approval, he refuses and even disowns his daughter. Several years later, while sitting by the fireside with memories of the past still haunting his mind, the Captain is very much surprised to receive a letter from his little grandson, wishing him a happy birthday. He shows the letter to the old housekeeper, who secretly, sends the young people an invitation to a birthday dinner. The next day, the child, accompanied by his parents, appears at the appointed hour. The father and mother stand hesitatingly at the door while the little fellow boldly approaches the old man, exclaiming, "Hello, Grandpa, we have come to your birthday party." Although angry at first, the simple innocence of the child goes straight to his stony old heart. He takes his little grandson in his arms and when the parents approach, welcomes all three of them in one big embrace.
