A young girl, child of wealthy parents, is about to draw a curtain when she sees a poor child outside who offers a tray of odds and ends for sale. With her mother’s consent she brings in the child, and later takes her to the theater. From a box the youngsters enthusiastically watch the wonderful scenes of Aladdin. As the lamp is rubbed and the genie appears, bringing with him all sorts of wonderful gifts, the children clap uproariously. Leaving the theater the kind girl drives her poor friend home and kisses her good-night. Driven by poverty the poor child steals the wonderful lamp from the theater, and is arrested, but liberated and allowed to take the lamp on the intercession of her two kind friends who appear on the scene, and hand the property man of the theater a substantial amount. The girl takes the treasured lamp home, and the scene in the poverty-stricken room as she attempts to obtain good things from the lamp by rubbing is very pathetic. The rich girl, judging why her friend stole the lamp, determines to play the genie. Purchasing some provisions she drives to her friend’s home and finds both mother and daughter asleep. Without waking them she leaves her parcel and empties her purse on the floor. When mother and child awake they are very much surprised and delighted, the child rejoicing over the food as the mother gathers up the money. It is very realistic.
