Bitzer.; Mary Pickford (Mary), Lionel Barrymore (minister), Charles Hill Mailes (father), Kate Bruce, Alfred Paget, Claire McDowell.; Mary Harding, the overworked wife of a parsimonious man, leaves a legacy in trust to a minister to provide occasional presents of finery to her daughter, who is also named Mary. Scandal erupts when village gossips see the shabbily dressed girl in church wearing an extravagent hat purchased by the minister. They summarily snub Mary, contact the church board, and inform the father of their suspicions. In a fit of anger, the father destroys the hat and the girl's tenuous happiness. The minister quells the scandal, showing the mother's letter about the legacy to the assembled indignant gossips and church board members, the father, and the girl. The gossips are red-faced, and all ends happily.; PFA 1604-01-9311. D0247; Silent with English intertitles.; Shortened 9 min. version? Original length was 11 min.; PFA 1604-01-9311.
