United We Stand (1912)
Captain Brand, an old Union officer and a ranch owner, visits Los Angeles with his son George, to join the G.A.R. reunion. Major Cameron, a retired Confederate officer, is visiting the city with his daughter Eva. They meet in the hotel lobby, and Eva introduces George to her father. The Major draws his daughter away and tells her firmly that he will not allow her to consort with the son of an old Union man. The following day the Captain and George take their seats in the grandstand and prepare to enjoy the procession. The Major and Eva attend, believing there will be a southern delegation or two in the pageant. Fate ordains that their seats are next to the Captain and his son. The Captain applauds wildly, to the Major's great annoyance, and when the Major sees that there are no Confederates in line, he takes it as a personal insult and leaves the grandstand in a huff. Arriving at the hotel, Eva sees her father sleeping in an easy chair, and steals out in the hopes of meeting George. The Captain returns, and sinking into a chair goes to sleep. George goes after Eva. Each of the veterans dreams and sees a battlefield. The Captain goes to look for George and comes across the young couple, but he has not the heart to interrupt his son's happiness. Not so the Major, who also sees them. He commands his daughter to come with him at once. This so enrages the Captain that he faces the irate Major and proceeds to tell him that his son is good enough for any girl on earth. Explanations follow and the happiness of the young couple follows as a matter of due course.
