synopsis
A typical moralistic silent melodrama, this one-reel Selig Polyscope presentation featured Harold Lockwood as a husband, who dallies with an unscrupulous actress (Eugenie Besserer) while his family is away. At the point of nearly breaking up his marriage, Henry Ashton is brought to his senses by his little daughter (Baby Lillian Wade), the Elizabeth of the title. Directed by character actor Fred Huntley, Elizabeth's Prayer was the third of ten dramas to team Lockwood with brunette Mabel Van Buren (here playing the wife).
