The Broken Heart (1913)

Mr. and Mrs. Keith and their son, Paul, are seated in the living room of their home, when the maid brings in a letter. Mrs. Keith opens the letter and reads that her brother is sailing that day from Yokohama, Japan, and are bringing back with them a little Japanese girl, whom they have adopted. Some time later they arrive. Paul is infatuated with O'Saki San, the little Japanese girl, and spends many pleasant minutes with her that evening. He treats her as he would a doll. O'Saki San falls in love with him. Paul caresses her. That evening O'Saki San tells her new mother that she has fallen in love with Paul. Later, Edith Towne, Paul's fiancée, arrives. O'Saki San meets her. The little Japanese girl is forgotten when Paul sees his beloved one. Paul marries Miss Towne. From a window in her room, the little Japanese girl, with her heart overflowing with love for Paul, sobs her little heart out and, prays to her God, that he will have pity on her. Several days later, the little queen of the land of the sun and the cherry blossoms, passes into another land from a broken heart.
