A Hoosier Romance is a 1918 Selig Polyscope silent film, featuring actress Colleen Moore.

[1] Pretty Patience Thompson, a "girl with a singing soul," lives with her cold-hearted and avaricious father, Jeff Thompson, on their Indiana farm.

Aware of her unhappiness, the kindly squire and his wife arrange for John to hide in the Thompson home on the day of the wedding.

With all of the guests assembled, Patience runs from the room and pretends to escape on a horse, and while the two old men search the fields for her, she quietly marries John.
