The Hope Chest Synopsis

Daughter of impoverished vaudeville actor Lew Moore, Sheila ( Dorothy Gish ) works as a waitress in a chocolate manufacturer's candy shop, where she delights the customers with her tomboyish antics. Tom Ballantyne ( Richard Barthelmess ), the proprietor's son realizes that Sheila is excessively fond of dancing, asks her out without the benefit of a proper introduction, and she indignantly refuses. Soon afterwards, however, the two fall in love and secretly marry. Sheila's father insists that Tom's parents be informed, but when the young groom breaks the news, they react with such anger that Tom leaves home. Meanwhile, Sheila remains with the Ballantynes as their ward on the condition that she keep her marriage and her lineage a secret. One evening, Sheila decides to visit her father's theater but is discovered there by the Ballantynes. Infuriated, she vents her anger at the snobbish family and returns home with her father, but Tom follows her, and in the end, all of the parties are reconciled.
