Excellent 1-reeler from 1910, directed by Larry Trimble, who was Jean the Vitagraph Dog's owner/trainer.
Story has a childless couple (Leah Baird, William Humphrey) pampering Jean while they long to have a child. On the other side of town poor little Adele DeGarde is forced to slave in a boarding house owned by a cruel old woman.
When Adele runs away in a snowstorm, she happens to enter an open door in a building and finds Jean asleep in bed and so crawls into bed with Jean. When the couple returns, they find the two and there's a happy ending.
The detail in this film is great. Watch carefully when Adelele wakes up and talks to her ratty paper doll. When she runs away, watch carefully to see what she wears for gloves.
Such attention to detail in a 1910 film!
