Shore Acres

(1914)

This five-reel screen version of James A. Herne's popular melodrama of the same name, was filmed in September and October 1914, and released on October 26 of the same year. The story takes place in Maine and involves a farmer/lighthouse keeper whose daughter elopes by sea with a doctor. An October 4, 1914, Providence Journal article reported a production company associated with this film was working on Block Island, and the setting in a production still (below) on IMDB looks suspiciously like Castle Hill Light in Newport.
