A Daughter of the Woods (1916)

Melody Jane, a waif, adopted by David, the blind hermit, goes to sell his baskets to the occupants of John Warham's shooting lodge. The Maestro, who, with his wife, is a guest, hears her sing, and says her voice is like that of the famous prima donna, Jane Hope. He meets David, hears Janes history, and finds she is Jane's child. He takes her to his home (although David is heartbroken) and he, himself, trains her voice. Warham falls in love with her, they become engaged and his mother insists upon setting up her apartment. A year and a half later she makes her debut in "Madam Butterfly" and scores a triumph. She receives a letter from David wishing her every success. It sets Jane thinking. She resolves to go to David, catches the midnight train and arrives at David's home at dawn. They meet, each confess love and when David, hesitating, asks what the world will do without her glorious voice, she naively suggests using it for singing lullabies.
