Settled Out of Court (1910)
"Jealousy is the spice of life," so they say and yet how very often docs it not make life too spicy. At a reception given in the residence of the Van Cleves, in honor of their son Willie, a musical genius. Mrs. Van Cleve surprises her husband in a tete-a-tete with a pretty woman and at once she looks upon this as a serious matter. In order to find solace for her wounded affection, she proceeds to amuse herself with a prepossessing gentleman, much to the chagrin of Mr. Van Cleve. After the departure of the guests, there is a debate between the parents and each one, too certain of having been wronged, is unwilling to attempt reconciliation. A trip to Reno to secure a divorce is the outcome of the interview. Willie is left with his grandmother, and having learned the cause of the sudden departure of his parents, he determines to join them at Reno. But where to get the money, his grandmother having refused to aid him? Willie takes to playing on the street, whereby he earns enough to at least take him part way to Reno. Off he travels, until his funds are exhausted and then he is put off the train in a western town. Here he again becomes popular by his fine musical talent and collects enough money to continue his journey. Hungry and tired, he at last reaches Reno and while playing on the street, attracts the attention of none other than his father, he recognizes the familiar sounds. But not he alone stops to listen. Also the mother comes to the side of her son, meets face to face with her husband. The pleading of the boy, "Let's go home." finds its way to the heart of the parents and all are happy at the reunion.
