Class '8 — Dramas 145
REEL NO. TITLE PRODUCER
John's brother, Robert Moore, has accumulated great wealth, but lives alone and solitary in his magnificent mansion surrounded by his servants and material possessions. He has a group photograph showing the whole family of his brother John, and conceives the idea of making John and his wife a present of an independent livelihood in exchange for one of their seven children, which he can rear and cherish as his own.
The mother receives the letter in the day time and does not show it to the father until they are alone in the evening. Then, as he reads the letter, she looks at his worn and tired face and at his tattered clothes and steels herself for the ordeal of parting with one of the children that it may be for the happiness and welfare of all of the others. Thinking of the burdens he has borne and of the seven hungry mouths to feed, she puts her arm in his and says, "we will choose among them while they sleep," and from bed to bed they go, from one child to another, only in each case to decide that it cannot be "that" one.
Later a decision is reached, but the result is an unexpected one to both the family and the spectators who, however, are delighted with the solution and ending of the picture.
This subject is a beautiful example of rural life with the joys and sorrows of normal healthy children. Every parent will feel a glow of pleasure and every child a thrill of joy witnessing this beautiful drama of homely happiness.

^rom Verdi's familiar Opera Azucene, a Gipsy fortune teller, had stolen Manrico as a baby and raised him as her own son. Manrico fell in love with the Countess Lenora, who was also sought in marriage by the Count Di Luna who was jealous of her Gipsy lover. The Count hated all Gipsies because of the theft of his own baby brother whom he had never been able to find. So believing Manrico to be a Gipsy, he had him arrested and tried to force Lenora to marry him by promising to set Manrico free. Lenora in despair swallowed poison and died in Manrico's arms, and in fury the Count ordered his execution. He refused to listen to Azucene's plea for mercy, and only after the death of Manrico did he learn that the man he had executed was not Azucene's son, a Gipsy, but his own long-lost brother.
