The Two Paths

Directed by D.W. Griffith

With Dorothy Bernard, Wilfred Lucas, Adolph Lestina, Grace Henderson and Clara T. Bracy

Two sisters, Nellie and Florence, support themselves and their mother by sewing. A man accompanying a wealthy client tempts first Nellie and then Florence to leave with him. Nellie rejects him, but Florence goes to his decadent apartment and becomes his mistress. Nellie marries a diligent carpenter and raises a growing family. Eventually the Tempter tosses Florence out, and she dies alone and impoverished.
