A House Divided (1915)
Timothy Bryan, a successful physician, is guilty of infidelity after his marriage. His wife takes him to task for his indiscretions, and they quarrel. It seems to them absurd to keep up their pretense of happiness, and they decide to separate. The doctor, after settling almost his entire fortune on his wife, takes their little girl with him, leaving his wife with their young son. Fortune frowns on the doctor after this, and he is forced to give up even his medical apparatus because of his inability to meet his bills. He is forced to do physical labor to support himself and his daughter. In the meanwhile, Mrs. Bryan's little boy grows lonesome for his father and sister and calls incessantly for them. Absorbed one day in his chase after a balloon, he crawls off the edge of the roof, and in the fall breaks his leg. He is taken by his mother to recuperate in the country. While resting in an invalid's chair on his lawn he is accosted by a charming little girl, with whom he strikes up quite a friendship. When the lad is able to walk on crutches, the two have a frolic that results in the lad again hurting his leg. At home, in bed, he asks for his playmate, and will be humored by nothing else. His mother, frantic, goes to the girl's house. On the sidewalk outside Bryan's shack, she meets her husband, and finds that the charming little girl is her daughter. Their long estrangement has made the parents forget their former grievances, and they know in that first look how deep is their love. The little fellow gets back his "playmate," under whose tender care he soon recovers.
