The Third Ingredient (1917)

Directed by Thomas R. Mills

“"If they only had an onion their heaven would be complete."”

Drama · 26m

Hetty Pepper (a discharged department store worker) and Cecilie (a starving miniature-painter) try to make a beef and potato stew in a low-rent New York apartment building. While they have the meat and the potatoes, they desperately need an onion to tie the meal together—which serves as a metaphor for the human connection and grace needed to complete their lives.
