Subterfuge
Subterfuge (1912)

Origine Etats-Unis
Acteurs Adrienne Kroell

Frank Lang and Billy Snow are rivals for the hand of Ethel Gordon. One day, while the rivals are on a fishing trip, near the summer resort at which they are guests, they come across Ethel busily engaged with paints and canvas at the edge of the stream. The rivals immediately forsake their fishing and propose to Ethel. Ethel is very much interested in the picture which she is painting and does not care to be bothered by the boys finally, after both boys have proposed to her, she hits on a scheme to rid herself of them. She tells them she will marry the one that catches the largest fish by three o'clock. This works like magic on the boys, and both hurry away to fish. Evidently thinking that "all is fair to love and fishing," Frank goes to the State Fish Hatchery and buys a large fish from the keeper. Billy apparently reasons the same way for he buys a large fish from a boy whom he run across on the stream. At three, Frank calls upon Ethel at her cottage and gives his fish to her. Billy comes in a moment later and also presents Ethel with a fish. Both boys hurry away to change their clothes. Ethel telling them to return a little later to see the fish weighed. Now it is very apparent that Frank's fish is the larger of the two, but Ethel, who really prefers Billy, decides that Billy shall win. The boys return. Frank's fish weighs 3 1/4 pounds and Billy's which is much smaller tips the scales at 3 3/4 pounds. Frank, however is a game loser. He congratulates Billy on his success, then makes his exit. Billy turns his fish over and over in his hands, wondering how it ever weighed so much. Then when a handful of shot rolls out of the fish he understands. Ethel shyly confesses to her subterfuge and Billy takes her in his arms.
The Miller of Burgundy
The Miller of Burgundy (1912)

Origine Etats-Unis
Acteurs Adrienne Kroell

In the picturesque little province of Burgundy in Eastern France, there lived an old miller named Meunier. With him, the joy of his heart and administrator to his simple needs, lived his daughter Louise, she of the dancing eyes and roughish beauty. Meunier enjoyed the respect of the simple easy going peasantry thereabouts and, from profits of his grist mill, he was enabled to live in a comparative comfort and contentment. This happy condition was interrupted when one Monsieur Bontemps, a rich Parisian financier and mill speculator, decided that he need Meunier's mill. To his offers, the miller however, turned a deaf ear and when Bontemp's son was sent to either purchase Meunier's mill, or start one in opposition, the old miller's future looked dark and foreboding. How the opposition mill was started, and how young Bontemps, having met with a serious accident, was nursed and cared for by Louise and her father; of how the Elder Bontemps himself, met with an accident and how this incident awakened him to a realization of his greed, all combine to make one of the sweetest stories of that year. It is pictured in a simple, charming manner amid the quaint, picturesque backgrounds of that romantic country.
