The Voice of Eva (1915)

Outside her humble cottage Eva listens to the voices of birds. She joins in the songs and a stranger, who enters, listens entranced. Eva's life is not a happy one and the stranger persuades her to leave her home. Eva is tempted into a café by the music, and unconsciously starts to sing. The proprietor is attracted by her beautiful voice and offers her a position, which she accepts. Whitney, a widower, meets Eva, and knowing nothing of her past or present life, asks her to marry him. He tells her that he has no use for café life or cabaret singers. Eva, who had resigned her position as a singer, reconsiders the matter and resumes her work. While singing one night, Whitney enters the café, and shortly after breaks their engagement. Eva's voice fails her. She is seized with an illness, and upon her recovery the doctor tells her she must never sing again. Whitney's little girl becomes very ill and while delirious calls for Eva. She goes to the child's bedside; there is a reconciliation between Whitney and Eva and happiness comes to them both.
