A Woman's Love

• Watchlist

A young Italian artist, in love with and loved by a sweet country girl, is "discovered" by a gentleman, visiting the home of the young people, to be a genius of great ability and future. He induces the young fellow to go to the city with him to take up the study of art and make a name for himself. The young fellow goes and becomes a great painter, courted and feted by a large following of admirers. He forgets his country sweetheart, although she keeps a constant watch for his letters and anxiously awaits news of his success or whereabouts. After a year or more news eventually reaches the poor girl through a newspaper, and then she learns that he has become blind and must lay aside his paint and palette forever. In his blindness he is deserted by his so-called friends and admirers and becomes very poor, but there is one who still loves him and goes to him in his hour of need. The sweetheart of his younger days comes to the city and does not give up her search for him until she finds him, comforts him and takes him back to her home.
