Father Love (1911)

A young musician who had been hired to play the violin at a reception, saw and fell in love with Marion Hayes, the daughter of a millionaire. His love was returned and when her father tried to separate them, they decided to elope. About one year after their marriage, the mother died leaving the father with a little girl baby. Then the father became paralyzed. Though it cost him the keenest pang, he sent his child to her grandfather, preferring to tread the path of poverty alone. Sixteen years later the child, now a beautiful young girl, happened to be in a music store when an old and decrepit man came in to sell some of his compositions. They were rejected and the old man was leaving the store when the girl stopped him, bought his compositions herself and giving him her card, told him she would buy any that he might write in the future. The musician looked at the card, noticed the name, questioned the girl and found she was his own daughter. She was equally delighted to find the father she had never known and their delight was made complete when her grandfather gladly received her father into his home.
