Already A Standard Plot

Florence Turner lets her be distracted for one moment, and her daughter, Helene Costello, slips into traffic. SHe would have been hit by a car, but Mae Costello, a visiting princess, saves the child and treats her well. When Florence goes back home, her husband. Leo Delany, is plotting with some other ill-kempt men to kill the Princess, using her own daughter as a patsy!

It struck me as similar in set-up to Griffith's THE INNER CIRCLE (1912), which I looked at a few months ago, and doubtless I could figure out which assortment of Mack Sennett comedies used the plot. That's the rapid pace at which movie production took place. Still, the differences in plot indicate that Vitagraph wished to appeal to the more genteel and feminine audience, while Griffith liked to leave the heavy lifting up to the men; if there is a Kalem example of this story, doubtless it's the women throwing bombs instead of the men.
