How John Came Home Filming Locations

After "cleaning up" on a big tip at the track, Jones, a clerk, finds himself rich, but jobless, for the boss tolerates no gambling. Saying nothing about his winnings to his wife, Jones prepares to break loose from domestic moorings, and disappears, leaving the impression that he has been drowned. Several weeks later Jones' money is all gone and he accepts a job as a hack-driver. Meanwhile, Mary, his "widow,'' has had a fortune left her by a rich uncle, and coming out of the lawyer's office, she gets into Jones' hack and drives to the marble works to order a tombstone for her departed husband. Jones succeeds in changing the epitaph from "gone, but not forgotten. to "gone, but not for good." in the entry book, then hearing of his wife's wealth, decides to "come back." He employs the "lost memory" trick and gets away with it beautifully, being received with open arms by his wife. The tombstone arrives at their door, but Mrs. Jones tells the driver to bring it back and cancel the order; her John has come back.
