    Desc: The Love Piker: Directed by E. Mason Hopper. With Anita Stewart, William Norris, Robert Frazer, Carl Gerard. Arrested for speeding in her roadster, Hope Warner, a wealthy young woman, meets and is aided by Martin Van Huisen, a young civil engineer who has made his way in the world by sheer force of character, despite the handicap of early poverty. Later, Martin is instrumental in saving Hope's life and the friendship between the two ripens into love. They become engaged but the girl's loyalty to her lover is put to a severe test when he takes her to visit his father, old Peter Van Huisen, who lives in the tenements, where he has spent all his life and will not leave. When Hope sends out invitations for her wedding, her snobbish training asserts itself and she tears up the one intended for the elder Van Huisen. On the wedding morning she is troubled with remorse for her action and by the time she is attired in bridal costume, experiences a revulsion of feeling. She jumps into an auto and hurries to old Peter, confesses her fault, brings him back with her and is married.
