The Apple Tree Girl or The Apple-Tree Girl is a 1917 American silent drama film directed by Alan Crosland and starring Shirley Mason, Raymond McKee and Jessie Stevens.[1][2]
Plot
Charlotte Marlin grew up on a farm in Connecticut near Micah's apple tree, which was said to have turned from pale green to spotted red when a peddler was buried under it. After losing her parents, Charlotte moves in with her aunt and cousin Margaret, who is considered attractive. She befriends Neil Kennedy, a hardworking college student from a modest background. Despite her academic achievements, Charlotte feels overshadowed by Margaret's popularity and leading role in a school play. Driven by jealousy, Charlotte sets out to win everyone's favor, achieve fame, and marry a millionaire.
In her quest to be liked by all, Charlotte adopts a friendly demeanor towards everyone she encounters. In her pursuit of fame, she takes up golf and eventually becomes the champion of a prestigious tournament. However, when she accidentally injures wealthy Perry Graham with a golf ball and cares for him during his recovery, she realizes her true feelings lie with Neil, who has now become a promising doctor.[3]
