Lovetime (1921)

In France, artist Arthur de Sivry, also known as the Marquis of Savoy, falls in love with Marie Gautier, a peasant girl from the country. His depraved uncle, Count de Baudine, who leases his farm to the Gautiers, makes unwelcome advances on Marie until she joins a troop of entertainers in Paris. Arthur follows her to the city and offers the use of his vacant apartment. Upon learning of their arrangement, the count spreads rumors to ruin Marie's reputation and claims that Arthur is engaged to another woman. Marie's father returns from a visit to Paris and, believing the rumors to be true, tells his wife of their daughter's downfall. However, Arthur finally proposes to Marie and all ends happily.
