Wenoma's Broken Promise (1911) Online

The Indian agent comes to the village and takes a fancy to Lone Wolf, son of the chief. He finally persuades the chief to send Lone Wolf to college. The youth is seen bidding goodbye to his sweetheart, Wenona, in a picturesque nook, and the girl promises to be faithful and to marry him on his return in four years. After a year, however, she yields to the wooing of Big Bear and becomes his bride. The chief casts them out of the tribe and they go far away in the forest. When Lone Wolf comes back and learns the truth he is furious and seeks them out. Peeking into the tepee he sees the happiness of the couple over their little papoose, and his heart is touched. Departing silently, he leaves them in peace. He goes back to his tribe, bids them all goodbye, and becomes a lonely wanderer.

Wenona gave Lone Wolf a promise that at the end of the school term, four years, she would marry him. While Lone Wolf is away at school, Big Bear woos Wenona and Lone Wolf is forgotten. He finds them wed and gone from the village. He might have taken vengeance, but didn't and becomes a lone wanderer. The player who takes Wenona's part looks not unlike an Indian, but most certainly two or three other girls who take squaw parts do not look like Indians, although one of them shows herself a competent actress. One looks more like Beatrice Conci than like a squaw. The picture is interesting, well-acted and acceptable, but it isn't photographed very well. - The Moving Picture World, November 18, 1911
