For Memory's Sake (1911) Online

A picture of sentiment, contrasting the quiet home life with the trials and vicissitudes of those whose business is to act upon the stage. Jim's sweetheart left Springfield to go upon the stage. Fifteen years pass and she has become but a photograph and a fond memory. Jim's sister Leone, now grown up, also hears the call of ambition and the footlights and she too goes to New York. She is shown as having a very unpleasant experience. Jim's old sweetheart, who, it happens, is also in the company, saves her from the clutches of a crafty manager. Perhaps it is better not to show such scenes. As a consequence, both actresses are discharged and this leads to a homecoming with a renewal of old ties and affections. The acting is poor. - The Moving Picture World, January 13, 1912
