It doesn&apos;t convince

The author of this story got little sense of reality into it and it doesn&apos;t convince, but it interests, for it keeps moving. The acting is weak; the photography fair. - The Moving Picture World, March 7, 1914

Jan, a symphony orchestra violinist, meets and falls in love with Jo, a young music student. They are married and live happily till Jan, whose eyes are failing, is discharged from the orchestra. Madge, the daughter of a wealthy lady, and in love with Jan herself, is his pupil, and when repulsed by him, later tells the wife that Jan has been discharged from the orchestra because he has been unable to keep in practice owing to the wife's foolish demands on his time and attention. Jan, returning home, avoids his wife, dreading to tell her that he is going blind. She mistakes his distant manner for anger. Believing that she has been a stumbling block to his progress, she resolves to go away. A friend of Jan's later finds him groping about his house totally blind. A note from his wife stating only that she left because one should not be a burden to another, so angers the friend that he resolves to find the wife and compel her to return home. Jan, who is too proud to be an object of charity to the wife, whom he believes has left him because of his affliction, decides that he will leave. He is gone when his wife returns. Heartbroken, she searches the city, but with no success. Madge in the meantime having learned of the mischief she has unwittingly done, assists the wife in her search. Early in her search she finds him and takes the blind violinist to her own home, and has an operation performed on his eyes, he not knowing who has befriended him. Her love for Jan tempts her to undo the work of the great specialist who has nearly finished a successful treatment of Jan's eyes, in order that she may have the man she loves near her always, but her better nature asserts itself and she reunites Jan and his wife.
