Kate

• Release Year: 1914

Plot

Since the Box Office Attractions Company refused to handle any foreign films (at least in 1914), it is safe to assume that the independently produced Kate was made in the U.S. At the beginning of the film, Kate is the fiancée of Jack, a dedicated young doctor. Unfortunately, she is swept off her feet by a charismatic circus performer, leaving the poor doc in the dust. Unaccustomed to her new lover's hedonistic lifestyle, Kate drinks a bit too much champagne and passes out in the man's apartment. The cad takes advantage of the situation by attempting to rape the girl, whereupon she instantly sobers up, tells off her would-be seducer, and rushes back to the arms of her hometown sweetheart. Alas, by this time, Jack has been apprised of Kate's libertine behavior, and wants nothing to do with her. She returns to her big-city lothario, who by now has added petty crime to his list of misdeeds. The disillusioned Kate becomes a hopeless alcoholic, ultimately drinking herself to death. Sure enough, the attending physician at the coroner's inquest is none other than Jack, who takes one look at the lifeless Kate and walks quietly out of the room (guess that showed her!). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
