The Immigrant's Violin (1912)

Lora and her parents coming from Italy were met at the pier by a friend, but on their way to their new home she becomes separated from them and is lost. She attracts the attention of Mrs. Radley, a society woman, who takes the girl to her home. Mrs. Radley has a son, Albert, whose heart goes out to the Italian violinist. Lora becomes a talented musician and she is invited to appear at an east side club entertainment and here she is recognized by her poor parents. For a moment she is indifferent to them and faints at the recognition. She is taken immediately to the home of her adopted mother. But filial duty asserts itself and the girl recovering decides to seek out her parents, and so exchanging her fine clothes for her old Italian garments, she visits them, is reconciled to them and they show their happiness at having found her. Mrs. Radley in the meantime has discovered the absence of her protege. Albert succeeds in finding her. He offers to marry her and proffers an engagement ring, which he returns to him. But he tells her that he truly loves her. The protestations of Albert overcome the girl's scruples and the story ends with the engagement of the poor Italian girl to the son of her benefactress.
