Falling Leaves

Alice Guy-Blaché, Solax, March 1912, about twelve minutes. Winifred is dying of consumption; the family doctor says she will go when the last leaf falls. Her little sister Trixie (Magda Foy, the Solax Kid) ties fallen leaves back onto the trees with string. Passing lung specialist Dr. Headley sees the child and brings his serum. The plot borrows from O. Henry's The Last Leaf. Moving Picture News printed the studio synopsis that March. A 35mm print is at the Library of Congress.
