When a young man loses his wealth, he also loses his fiancee, but he is more than consoled by her younger sister.
When Arthur Moore's riches took wings and flew away, his fiancée, Ethel Earle, flew away also. She began accepting the attentions of Albert Conley and within a year they were married. Arthur took his disappointment with manly fortitude. He found forgetfulness in work as any strong man would. All through his trouble he had the friendship of Ethel's younger sister, Flo, who was a beautiful and vivacious girl with sterling qualities. A year later Arthur was chief engineer in charge of a large construction operation. It happened that Ethel, her father, mother and Flo were taking a trip in an automobile in that neighborhood. While the chauffeur was repairing a puncture Flo wandered away and came upon Arthur. That young man had had time to heal his heart wounds and now Flo seemed in his eyes the most charming woman in the world. Ethel following in search of Flo found the two in earnest conversation. She ordered Flo back to the automobile, but Flo gaily told her to run along, that she was quite content where she was, and in the end the younger sister became Arthur's bride and very glad he was that his riches had disappeared and that Ethel had disappeared with them.

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
