Her Grandparents

1915 · 10 min

A gentle, old-fashioned small-town tale that unfolds quietly and asks little of the viewer.

Overview
Dorothy, the girl who presides over the notion counter of the Emporium, the general store in a country town, is the sole support of her aged grandparents, with whom she lives. Her sweetheart, Bob, is the boy-of-all-work in the same store. To the Emporium comes a flashy drummer from the city to sell the merchant a bill of goods.
