520 "Millicent (Lillian Gish) and her sister Jean (Violet
Wilkie) are pariahs in their small town because of their
parents' pending divorce. Their only companion is their
nurse Susan (Jennie Lee). Finally the day comes when the
court has to decide custody, and Millicent is given over
to their father, Theodore Ainsley (Ralph Lewis), while
Jean is given to their mother, Elinor (Loyola O'Connor).
Mr. Ainsley goes on to marry young social butterfly Editha
(Alma Reubens). The sisters are closer to each other than
they are to their parents, so after Millicent's coming out,
she goes to Jean and they run off together, seeking refuge
with their old nurse. An officer of the court finds them
the next day and the whole family is brought before the
judge once again. A young lawyer takes the girls' case and
he and Millicent fall in love. The sisters' dilemma is
solved when Millicent and the lawyer marry, and she takes
custody of Jean. There are a few legal questions in this
film -- for example, if Millicent is underage (which she
has to be if she is part of a custody suit), then wouldn't
she need her family's approval before she could marry?
This film, directed by Lloyd Ingraham, shows several
reasons why Lillian Gish did her best work with D.W.
Griffith"--Janiss Garza, All Movie Guide
