Home, Sweet Home

Directed by D.W. Griffith

With Henry B. Walthall, Josephine Crowell, Lillian Gish, Dorothy Gish and Mae Marsh

John Howard Payne leaves home and begins a career in the theater. Despite encouragement from his mother and his sweetheart, Payne begins leading a life of dissolute habits, which soon leads to ruin and misery. In deep despair, he recalls better days, and writes a song that later provides inspiration to several others in their own times of need.
