The Cup of Life is a 1915 American silent drama starring Bessie Barriscale.
As described in contemporary film magazines,[3][4] sisters Helen and Ruth Fiske are living a humble life on their department-store salaries.
Ruth marries a man of modest means and they build a solid household.
Helen returns to America to win back a former suitor, James Kellerman, but he has moved on to a younger, less jaded woman.
Complete prints of The Cup of Life are held by the Library of Congress and the Cineteca Del Friuli in Gemona.
