At the Altar (1909) D.W. Griffith silent short film

At the Italian boarding house the male boarders were all smitten with the charms of Minnie, the landlady's pretty daughter, but she was of a poetic turn of mind and her soul soared above plebeianism and her aspirations were romantic. Most persistent among her suitors was Grigo, a coarse Sicilian, whose advances were odiously repulsive.

You have to love how "altar" is misspelled on the title card (as "alter"). Florence Lawrence is in the background here, as is James Kirkwood, who directed around 80 silent films and also acted in silents and talkies - his career lasted from 1909 until 1961!

Very nice music: sad there's only a bit of it left in it.
