Love's Awakening (1910)
The opening scenes of the picture show a number of young farm hands and their sweethearts seated on a load of hay entering the farmyard at the end of the day. Jewel Graham and David Allen are among the young people and when the others go romping from the scene David confesses his love for Jewel but she impatiently turns away and welcomes Jim Long, for whom she shows a strong preference. Jim and Jewel turn away leaving Dave in the deepest dejection. Jim is the clerk in the small country drug store and the model young man of the village. Later, when he proposes to Jewel the two seek her father but the old man tells Him he must go out into the world and make his fortune before he can have his bride. The next day Jim, suitcase in hand, bids Jewel goodbye and takes the train to the city. Dave is discouraged but not without hope when he meets Jewel again and again pleads his suit. But Jewel refuses to listen and her father consoles the young man but offers him no encouragement as Jewel, he knows, will have her own way in her love affairs. In the city Jim is established in a fashionable drug store behind the soda counter. Here he meets a great many young ladies and one of whom in particular is fascinated by Jim's good looks. Not long after, having met the city girl on several occasions, Jim finds that his love tor Jewel is cooling and in despair for fear of losing her he wires her to meet him at the station in Hopkinsville. Shortly after Violet, the city girl, enters the store and coaxes a confession from Jim concerning the little country girl. Violet works her most subtle wiles and finally wins Jim over, persuading him to again wire Jewel that he cannot meet her. In the meantime Jewel has received Jim's first message and at 10 o'clock that night steals away from home and goes to the station but Jim is not on the train and as she turns to leave the station agent hands her Jim's second telegram. The girl is brokenhearted when she reads it and sobbing as though her heart would burst wanders aimlessly back toward home. It is Dave who finds her and to whom she confesses Jim's faithlessness and the big fellow's heart goes out to her as he helps her into his buggy and they drive home. The next day Jewel has recovered from the shock and we find her and Dave seated on the Graham porch, when a letter is handed her from Jim, who has been thrown over by the city girl and who now begs forgiveness and asks to be taken back. Dave thinks it is all up with him and turns to go when Jewel puts her hand in his and tells him she has had a change of heart and that it is not Jim, but he whom she loves. Her father comes upon them when they are in embrace and gives his blessing as the picture closes.
