Before their marriage, Grace Moore was a musician and a professional singer. Her husband is devoted to her. The little western cottage in which they live, the husband tries to make as fine a home as his limited capital permits him. For a time the young wife is happy and fills in her time between watching her husband dig for gold and singing in the wilderness. Soon, however, the emptiness of her inactive existence begins to pall on her. She grows wistful and longing. An operatic manager on his vacation hunting near the mining district, is one day attracted by Mrs. Moore's wonderful voice. He follows the notes to their source and, after having refreshed himself with the food and drink which Mrs. Moore graciously provides, he gives Mrs. Moore his card and tells her that he would be pleased to give her an engagement if she ever came back east. The coming of the operatic manager awakens in Grace Moore her slumbering desire for a career. Her husband is averse to her plans, but after months of arguments pro and con, Mrs. Moore leaves her husband and goes east. At their parting the husband plucks a white rose from an arbor and presents it to his wife with the injunction, "Whenever you can return to me as pure as this rose, my heart and my home are open to you." Later, after a thrilling adventure with a claim jumper, the husband, who strikes gold, begins to feel the influence of the rose, the pressed rose which saved his life, an interesting by-play in the story. The wife away east wins success and fame as an opera singer, but her happiness is not complete. She feels the call of the rose. The husband comes east, and in a pathetic scene which takes place in a café, the two are reunited. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
