PERSISTENCE WINS One Reel Beauty April 13, M5 The Story of How a Determined Young Man Wooed and Won CAST Alice Longshore Virginia Kirtley |< Peter Parks Joseph Harris i Phil Broughton Webster Campbell George Benton Fred Gamble PETER PARKS lays siege to the affections of Alice Longshore, a prosperous young artist, who refuses to give up her freedom for a home with Peter. He persistently asks her to marry him, however, and with each refusal, calmly goes on making preparations for the happy day. Alice, becoming provoked with the attentions and importunities of a man about town, the twenty-third time Peter proposes, accepts him. She is a bit piqued when, the next moment, he pulls from his pocket the ring and marriage license. So she tells him that before the ceremony they must find a house. The modest bungalow to which he takes her causes Alice many misgivings. She returns to her luxurious studio apartment, writes her lover that she has reconsidered, and encloses the ring in the letter. However, she finds that bohemian life has lost much of its charm. It strikes her that all the women either are cynical or in the dumps because nobody loves them. But she is glad to visit Mary Benton, a happy young wife and mother — and then it seems to her that the only thing in life really worth while is to be like Mary. She tries to phone Peter, and when she cannot reach him, is seized by the overwhelming conviction that he has committed suicide. But at last she finds him — in the bungalow, quietly getting things in shape. And this time she rushes him off, in his shirt-sleeves, to the minister's, where they are married on the door-step.
