Wooden Shoes

1917 · 50 min

A gentle, old-fashioned silent melodrama that drifts from quaint village charm to big-city longing, asking patience and rewarding sentiment.

Overview: Pampy lives in a quaint little Dutch village, where she supports her invalid father by selling flowers to tourists. Pampy is so beautiful that she provides inspiration to Donald Luther, an American artist who is visiting the village, and at his request, poses for him. Just as his interest starts to blossom into love, he is called away for two weeks. During his absence Pampy's father dies, leaving her only with directions to her wealthy grandfather's home in New York.
