Where There's a Will There's a Way (1909)
Squire Hardacre of Gloucester, has a son, Harold, studying in London. He receives news that his son is engaged to marry an actress, Letitia Langdon. The news is conveyed in a letter to his friend, Parson Johnson. The Squire is furious, writes a letter to Harold, telling him that he will cut him off without a shilling if he marries the actress; also that he will visit London himself. Harold receives the letter: shows it to Letitia. After thinking over its contents, she has a plan of campaign and sends Harold off meet his father. The Squire arrives by coach: Harold receives him and pretends obedience. The old gentleman is taken off to Letitia's lodgings, where she bribes the servants not to answer his bell. She does so herself, and makes herself so useful to the old gentleman, attending to all his wants, that he determines that Harold shall marry her. Obtaining a promise from his son that he will not marry without his consent, he proceeds to press his son's suit with Letitia. She pretends coyness, but at last consents, and the Squire, by the help of a special license and his friend, the parson, sees them married and started off on their honeymoon, and it is only the next day that he learns to his dismay that the Letitia Brown whom his son had married at his instigation is the same person as Letitia Langdon, the actress, to whom he so violently objected.
