When Dreams Come True (1913)
28 Feb 1913 • Short, Drama
The young owners of a California orange grove loved each other, but they were unhappy because their lives were so narrow and circumscribed. Each dreamed of wealth and prayed continually that it might come. Sometimes dreams come true and in this particular case they did. Wealth came to the couple and they were in a position to gratify their every fancy. A young couple from the east gladly leased their grove and the original owners went to a large city expecting to spend the remainder of their days in luxury. Within a year, however, they were tired of their new life, but each was ashamed to tell the other so. While the husband was absent on a shooting trip the wife received a letter from their tenant, who also had been disillusioned. The tenant was sick of oranges and longed for "that dear Broadway." Under the circumstances the woman saw her duty clear. Her husband returned, weary after his outing, to receive word that his wife had gone back to the orange grove "to look after the property." He followed her there, found her in an old gingham dress and sun bonnet, thoroughly happy because she was again settled in the land she loved. It might be added that he was heartily glad to join her.
