The Woman Who Was Forgotten

Adapted from: “The Woman Who Was Forgotten” by Bess Streeter Aldrich (1926)

Miss Miller (Belle Bennett), a dedicated teacher beloved by her students, loses her job when she protects a favorite pupil, Richard Atwell (LeRoy Mason), who is accused of embezzling from Mr. Riggs's bank. Years later, Richard organizes a banquet as a testimonial to Miss Miller's inspiration throughout 40 years of service, at which is presented a confession to that long-ago crime (possibly committed by Percy Riggs [Jack Trent]), an apology from Mr. Riggs (William Walling), and the promise of a principalship of a new school.
