Their love for her is obscured by rigidity of training. Sunday is made a day of torture for her. Her father loved his Bible and the mottoes on his parlor wall read, "Love one another" and, "God is love," but in daily life he gave none of that essence to his child. Ann in desperation runs away, leaving a pathetic letter saying that their cruelty has driven her away. She goes to the city and there encounters that essence she failed to receive at home. That love was shown by her landlady, Viola Montague, a former burlesque queen who saw in Ann an innocence like unto her own in her girlish days. She resolved to protect her. Ann's father goes to the city in search of her and finally sees her enter a casino. He follows her and demands that she return home. She denies him as her father and he returns home crushed. Ann is taken away by the landlady who paints things to her as they really are and then takes her home. In the last scene we see the father reading the Bible. His eyes fall on the text, "He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind," and when Ann enters the room she steals into his waiting arms, he at last realizing that he is at fault. A happier future is promised her. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
