My Brother Agostino (1911)
Tomasino was a splendid waiter in a popular Italian restaurant. His earnings were not large, but they were sufficient to support a cozy and happy little home. But Tomasino grew ill. The doctors looked at him and shook their heads. He was too sick to work and probably would not live long. He talked over the situation with his little wife, Rosiana. Instead of despairing, she bravely cheered him up. She thought over the situation and finally she had an inspiration. She dressed up in men's clothes and presented herself at the restaurant as Agostino, brother of Tomasino. Thus she did her husband's work and made money to live and to buy medicine. Now Rosa, a dancer, having left her lazy good-for-nothing husband met the supposed Agostino and fell madly in love. Rosa's husband discovered her infatuation and, filled with true Sicilian jealousy, determined to cut his rival to pieces. Everything was ready for a real tragedy, when it was averted in a strange and surprising manner, which must be seen to be appreciated, and the whole thrilling plot comes to a happy ending.
