Details:

No sweeter, sadder tale of mother’s love has ever been presented to the moving picture audience. Briefly told, it is the story of a youth who leaves his widowed mother to seek his fame and fortune in a great city. Risen to fame and affluence, he is visited by his old mother unexpectedly at a moment when he is entertaining his affianced and her father. The sudden appearance of his mother, whose quaint, old-fashioned clothes and baggage are so strikingly incongruous among such luxurious surroundings, visibly embarrasses him and he ill conceals a feeling of shame before his guests. His changed manner is not lost upon the poor old lady, who, although at first mystified, is finally forced to the conviction that her presence in “Laddie’s” house is not welcome. Although brokenhearted at the realization, she determines that “Laddie” shall not be embarrassed by her presence and steals from the house, stopping only to tuck her shawl about him as he lies asleep on the couch and to imprint a loving farewell kiss upon his brow. Awakened from his sleep by a police messenger, he hurries to the hospital to find that she has been the victim of a street accident and is at the point of death. Overcome with remorse and shame, his grief knows no bounds. Willingly would he sacrifice all his earthly possessions, even life itself, if she were spared to him, but in vain! She dies in his arms, a smile of supreme happiness upon her countenance as site unites his hand with that of the lovely girl who is his affianced wife.
