One day this little darling, while playing with her companions, falls, and striking her head on the hard pavement, sustains a fractured skull. Marsden is telephoned for and arrives just in time to see his baby die. He last saw her playing with her dolly, and seeing the doll where she had left it, his mind gives way and he becomes a harmless maniac, who finds all his pleasure in dolls. Three months roll around and everything seemingly possible has been done to cure him, but in vain. Finally his poor, distracted wife hits upon a plan and she and the doctor, who has now become very greatly interested in the case, decide to try it out. What this plan was, which resulted in Marsden's return to reason, how it worked out, would spoil in the telling. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
