An Early Example of the Ince-Pickford Collaboration
15 October 2011
Warning: Spoilers
'Tween Two Loves (Imp, reissued as The Stronger Love), a widower (J. Farrell MacDonald) refuses to remarry so he can be close to his daughter, Grace. However, in time she (now played by Mary Pickford) wants a life of her own, and falls in love with George (William E. Shay), a stranger who comes to work in their house, despite her father's wishes.

Forced by her father to choose between them, she goes away with George, and two years later they have a child. However, George dies of sunstroke while working as a field hand, and then their cabin catches fire. Grace, destitute, must return to her father with her child. The family, briefly sundered by another love, is ultimately brought back together. Neither Ince nor Pickford were particularly satisfied with such films, but they allowed Ince to learn his craft, as I outline in my biography of him.
