Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? The artist sits in his studio painting a picture. The girl comes in and greets him affectionately. Then she leaves and joins some friends who are selling tags for a charity organization. They all go to a cabaret with a man friend. The artist, accompanied by a chum, goes into the place and sees the girl. He reproaches her and she returns his ring. He goes into the country to paint. While there he meets the other girl, a sweet, unspoiled child of nature. He paints her picture and she falls in love with him. A tree which she and her father are cutting falls on the artist. They bring him to their cabin and the doctor says there is little hope for his recovery. The artist raves about the girl and the other girl determines to bring her to save his life. She performs this service and the artist and the girl are reunited.
Reviews: [The Moving Picture World, 29 May 1915, page ?] G.M. Anderson makes it clear in this one-reel drama that an artist’s occupation may be more dangerous than that of a cowboy. The big situation, where he is struck by a falling tree, is uncommonly realistic. “The Other Girl” makes an interesting little drama, and is well played by Mr. Anderson, Marguerite Clayton, Ethel Wallace and Lee Willard.
