Description: | B W 1912 Silent drama short directed by DW Griffith. A young woman is painfully shy, reclusive and lonely, having grown up under a stern father. Taking a cue from her popular, outgoing younger sister, she attends an outdoor fete and feebly tries to socialize. She attracts the attention of one young man, and begins meeting him clandestinely. One evening she surprises a masked burglar in the house, and struggling over a gun, shoots and kills him it turns out to be her lover, who was merely using her to gain access to the house. Crestfallen, she spends the rest of the film gazing glassy-eyed into the distance and having delusional conversations with the departed lover. Finally overcome with grief, she faints and dies in her father's arms.
