    Robbing the Reverend
    Arthur V. Johnson (as Reverend John Stanton) is a "good shepherd" minister; he interrupts a sermon to rescue a mother's son from a drunken party, and returns to praise the Lord. While some ministers pass around collection plates, Mr. Johnson reaches into his pocket to give an offering to needy bums. Enter Stephanie Longfellow (as Mary Rollins); she is in cahoots with thieves Frank Powell and Henry B. Walthall - the three are going to disobey the commandment "Thou Shalt Not Steal" in earnest, by robbing Preacher Stanton! But, Mr. Johnson feels an urge for Ms. Longfellow, and she gets an itch to repent. Predictable.

    *** A Strange Meeting (8/2/09) D.W. Griffith ~ Arthur V. Johnson, Stephanie Longfellow, Henry B. Walthall
