O Mimi San (1914)
Direction: Charles Miller
Screenplay: Thomas H. Ince (unconfirmed)
Cast: Sessue Hayakawa, Mildred Harris, Tsuru Aoki
&#160;

O Mimi San is historically important as Japanese actor Sessue Hayakawa&#8217;s first film. In it, Hayakawa plays a prince who goes to a retreat after an attempt on his life is made; once there he falls in love with a young woman (Mildred Harris,  future wife of Charles Chaplin) but then finds himself torn between love and  duty as a leader of his nation. Compounding matters, an arranged marriage (with Tsuru Aoki, Hayakawa&#8217;s own future wife) awaits him. 
Directed by Charles Miller and allegedly written by Thomas H. Ince (a studio head best remembered for his &#34;mysterious&#34; death in 1924), O Mimi San [...]]]></description>

Via Thomas Gladysz&#8217;s article in the Los Angeles Examiner:
The Edison Theatre at the Niles Essanay  Silent Film Museum in the Northern California town of Fremont has been screening silent films and early talkies for quite some time. As Gladysz explains in his article, that area was home to the western studios of the Chicago-based Essanay film company, among whose stars at one point were  Gloria Swanson;  Charles Chaplin;  matinee idol Francis X. Bushman (best remembered for his villain in the 1925 version of Ben-Hur); and company co-owner Gilbert M. &#34;Broncho Billy&#34; Anderson (the &#34;ay&#34; in Essanay; the &#34;ess&#34; was George K. Spoor), the first cowboy star.

The Italian (1915)
Direction: Reginald Barker
Screenplay: Thomas H. Ince and C. Gardner Sullivan
Cast: George Beban, Clara Williams, J. Frank Burke
&#160;


&#160;
George Beban (right) was a renowned stage and vaudeville star. Even though he never became a major film name, Beban appeared in nearly 20 films from the mid-1910s to the mid-1920s, almost invariably in the role of an Italian. His first feature film, in fact, was quite succinctly called The Italian. 
Directed by the respected Reginald Barker (among whose credits is the 1916 William S. Hart vehicle The Aryan), The Italian depicts the plight of an Italian immigrant who arrives in the Land of Plenty only to find poverty, heartbreak, and death (no, not his own).
