Call of the Cumberlands (1913)
An ordinary Kentucky feud story with good local color and atmosphere. The hero is taken to New York where he becomes a successful artist, but he returns to Kentucky to end the feud by methods of law and order and to find his old sweetheart transformed by the years.

The Lighted Match (1911)
A lovely princess travels incognito through the States and falls in love with an American man. There are ties that bind her to someone in her own home, and the great plot revolves round her efforts to work her way out.

The Roof Tree (1920)
A well constructed though not unusual story of a Kentucky feud.

Destiny (1916)
The career and romance of a young financier in New York.

The Key to Yesterday (1910)
The story of a man to whom life was literally "a dream and a forgetting." Through an accident and robbery he forgets his past and even his name, and the only clue he has to his lost identity is a rusty key left upon his person. With this sole link he strives to unlock the door of yesterday, and his adventures, without guiding star or compass, make the story, into which is woven a love affair, a case of mistaken identity, and a South American revolution.

When 'Bear Cat' Went Dry (1918)
A story of Kentucky moonshining and family feuds, and of Bear Cat, a youth with a desire for better things, who revolts against his own thirst for liquor and goes about destroying stills, eventually bringing education and prosperity to the mountaineers.

The Tempering (1919)
A Kentucky mountain love story. Boone Wellver, descendant of those straggling pioneer followers of Daniel Boone who failed to reach the Western Valleys, lived in the Kentucky Mountains where his forefathers had settled, barefoot, illiterate, loyal to the moral and ethical standards of a forgotten century, fired too with the old urge to push out past the frontiers of his narrow existence, to explore what lay beyond.How Boone "fared forth" to Louisville, marked the U. S. Senate as his goal, won it, surmounted class distinctions and gained the love of Anne Wallifero, an exquisite daughter of the old aristocracy, makes a story of charm and power.
