A Man and His Money

Attractively pictured

A pretty story with a somewhat disappointing ending, with Pauline Bush and Ray Gallegher in the leads. He plays the part of a spendthrift millionaire. She is shocked by his extravagances. Later the girl loses her fortune and her lover traces her by a burned ten dollar bill. This is attractively pictured and might have had a stronger close. - The Moving Picture World, April 17, 1915

Helen Clay is engaged to marry wealthy young bachelor Herbert Warren, who observes no limit in his expenditures. His dinners rival the days of ancient Rome, and his millions are an open-sesame to all the world and its goods. Helen sees a notice of the lavish dinner given by Warren in which he is practically accused of spending his fortune foolishly. She has had a chance to observe his extravagance upon many occasions and this new feature arouses within her a feeling of disgust. She endeavors to restrain him, but he only laughs away her remonstrances. One day while they are out riding, Warren mistreats a little newsboy, demonstrating one more unpleasant facet of his nature. Returning home, she has a hot argument with her future husband when he insists upon lighting his cigar with a bank note. She breaks her engagement with Warren on the strength of what she has observed of his nature. A short while later, Helen learns that her fortune is involved in a bankrupt company founded by her father. Gradually Helen and her mother sound the depths of poverty until at last they come to live in a dingy pent-up tenement room. Helen is at last forced to pawn what jewels are left to her, but is able to raise only $5. The note is burned at one end and she realizes that it is the same one she rescued from her one-time fiancé's ruthless hand the night she broke their engagement. She uses the bill to pay the rent on her poorly-furnished quarters. Herbert Warren visits his place of business so seldom that his employees, especially the newer ones, scarcely know him. One of these, a collector, turns over the returns which he has collected, and among the money Warren discovers the charred bill. It recalls to his mind the eventful night when he was jilted by the woman he loved. He learns from his collector Helen Clay's address and, going to her, pleads for forgiveness. A reconciliation quickly follows.
