What happens

Jean and the Calico Doll is a 1910 short film directed by Laurence Trimble for Vitagraph Studios. It is the first film starring his own dog Jean, a female tri-color collie soon to be famous as the Vitagraph Dog. The drama marks the film debut of Helen Hayes, the first of two films she made with the famous dog in 1910. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
