Sisters

"Sisters" was Cosmopolitan Productions Number 32, and is possibly lost. It was directed by Albert Capellani, and based on a novel by Kathleen Norris that had been published in 1919, with scenario by E. Lloyd Sheldon.

From the TCM website: Cherry (Gladys Leslie), the youngest daughter of Dr. Strickland, marries Martin Lloyd (Joe King); and Peter (Matt Moore), a neighbor who was in love with her, unhappily begins a world tour. Returning home, Peter finds that the doctor has died, leaving the older daughter, Alix (Seena Owen), alone; and he marries her out of desperation.

Cherry, unhappy with her marriage, leaves her husband and comes to live with her sister and Peter; learning that Peter still loves her, Cherry agrees to run away with him, but they are discovered by his wife and upbraided. Martin is injured in a logging camp accident, and Cherry, realizing that she still loves her husband, goes to him. Peter resolves to free Alix, but she forgives him and they agree to start anew.
