Desc: The Passionate Quest: Directed by J. Stuart Blackton. With May McAvoy, Willard Louis, Louise Fazenda, Gardner James. Rosina Vonet, Philip Garth, and Matthew Garner, chafing against the narrow prejudices of Benjamin Stone, their guardian, determine to fulfill their ambitions in London: Rosina, a stage career; Philip, a career as a poet; and Matthew, a financial wizard. Philip, who loves Rosina, becomes despondent and alcoholic over his failure. Rosina obtains a role in a musical comedy; though also unsuccessful, she is charmed by Erwen, an author, who excites Philip's jealousy. Meanwhile, Matthew marries a wealthy widow and vindictively ruins his guardian's business while posing as a philanthropist. Intent on circumventing Rosina, Matthew persuades her to accept a job as a model with Madame Mathilde and schemes to seduce her. Erwen, Philip, and Matthew's irate wife denounce him, and his fortune is lost on the market. Philip wins a contract with a London editor and is happily reconciled with Rosina.
