A Girl's Stratagem
Directed by D.W. GriffithThe young man has been deceiving his mother in his letters home and upon the reception of a letter from her his better self is for the moment aroused, but only for the moment, as he finds evil associates hard to ignore. But it seems that the letter has brought with it a blessing and his mother's prayers have been heard because his meeting with a young woman in the tenement district proves to be his moral uplift. She, by a clever scheme, prevents him from committing a crime which would have been his irretrievable downfall.
