The Five Rose Sisters

Grease paint, the spotlight and applause lose their fascination for the Five Rose Sisters, a dancing team full of vivacity, ability and pluck. They decide to leave the stage for a home of their own as soon as they are blessed with this good fortune. This blessing opportunely comes to them in the shape of a legacy from a dead uncle. The legacy consists of a house and farm on the outskirts of a small village. The girls are both anxious and happy to exchange for the more salubrious and cheerful existence of the country, their worrisome, wearing and purposeless life in the city. So they move to the country and soon forget about one-night stands, quick lunches and quick changes. The people of the village in which this winsome quintet make their borne, are hospitable and genial, and make welcome and comfortable the sisters, from the tall and graceful Rose, to the lithe and buoyant "Rosebud." They become prominent members of the local church and are harmonious additions to the church choir. The young pastor of the church takes a kindly interest in one of the sisters, who is an accomplished organist. His attentions to one of the "Roses," arouses the jealousy of the deacon's daughter. The green-eyed monster so took possession of her that she made capital out of the first opportunity. By one of those peculiar coincidences, it is she who learns of the past occupation of the sisters. She exposes the dancers at a choir meeting, and naturally the simple village people are horrified. They ostracize the sisters from their society because of their former stage connections. The girls, however, are self-satisfied creatures, and ignore the prudishness and snobbery of the village folk. They remain content and happy in their lonely farmhouse. However, the little Rose who played the organ at church, misses the pleasure of this diversion. So, one day, unable to withstand the call of the pealing anthem, she goes to the church, slips in while no one is about, and steals to the organ loft, where she satisfies her unusual craving until she is overcome by the appeal and thrill of her hymns. For a long time she sat alone in the organ loft and wept bitterly. Suddenly she is startled into quiet by the cautious movements of a stealthy person on tip-toe, proceeding to the vestry room. She quietly hides near the organ loft, and observes the deacon in the act of taking possession of the church funds. The girl rushes hack to her home at top speed and arranges with her sisters for the capture of the thief. When the dishonest deacon, with the money concealed under his coat, drives by the girls' farm on his way out of town, he is stopped by these plucky and determined young women. They force him to return to the village and not only confess to the crime, but "pony up." The minister and the villagers welcome back into the fold all of the Five Roses, and decide that former dancers are respectable members of society, in spite of having earned an honest livelihood with their toes. And by way of emphasis to their welcome, the young minister marries the organist member of the Rose family. - IMDb
