These tender inessages practically coming from the world beyond bring to Rosamond a realization of her love for her first husband, and life with Sir Arthur becomes unbearable.
The domestic tangle becomes so acute that Sir Arthur sends for a specialist, believing his wife has lost her mind completely. Rosamond finally finds happiness, though her hair has turned white through the suffering she has undergone.

"Rose of the World," the Artcraft picture at the theatre
today, in which Elsie Ferguson plays the part of Rosamond, the wife of Capt. Harry English.
The captain loses his life in a heroic manner, on the field of battle. His widow marries Sir Arthur Gerardine, an elderly and conceited snob. Her life with Sir Arthur proves unhappy, and her love for her first husband grows stronger daily. Matters are brought to a crisis when at an elaborate dinner the contrast of the sumptuous menu with the suffering of Capt. Harry from hunger and thirst while battling for his life so affects her that she deliberately leaves the table. Sir Arthur follows her to her room, and the overwrought woman breaks down in a scene of wild hysteria.
The photoplay is adapted from the story by Agnes and Edgerton Castle, and is an absorbing tale of India. Maurice Tourneur, well known as a producer, directed the picture for Artcraft.
