But she is cold towards him and only dreams of the fame that she might receive upon the stage in a big city. Urged on by the ever-present desire to become a great actress, Mamie leaves for the city and manages to get a position as a chorus girl. In her dressing room, as she is waiting to be called, the daisy, which she is holding, brings back the times when she and the reverend gentleman were together in the daisy field, and being so engrossed in her reverie she forgets to appear, and is discharged. After a hard struggle her fine voice secures a position for her in a vaudeville company. Mamie, tired and disillusioned with regard to her theatrical success, tries her best to sing, but being weak, is about to faint, when the minister, who had seen her name billed outside, jumps upon the stage from his orchestra seat, and catches her in his arms. They go back to the little country church, where they are married. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
