The Secret Gift Filming Locations

Two young men from Holland, Jan Saxe and Peter Harlingen, go to America with little orphan Bertha Kruger, whom they have befriended during the trip and whom they both love. Bertha has come to live with her blind Aunt Sophie, and when Jan secretly raises $500 for an operation to restore her aunt's sight, Bertha marries Peter, believing that he was the donor of the "secret gift." Twenty years elapse, Bertha dies and Peter prospers as a businessman, while Jan attains contentment as a watchmaker. Peter's daughter Winnie frequently visits her Uncle Jan's shop where she meets and falls in love with Larry, a young man whom Jan has helped since boyhood. Winnie's father wishes her to marry Sidney Ullman, the son of a wealthy business associate. Jan disapproves of Peter's plan and, after much arguing, Peter finally realizes from his past experience that his daughter should marry for love rather than money.
