Mario (1914)
Mario, a pretty peasant girl, is gathering wood one evening when she meets Richard Kane, an American artist, who, attracted by her beauty, persuades her to pose for him. Different from all the men she has known, Mario falls in love with the artist. Her parents suspect something and one day her father follows her, and sees her in the embrace of the artist. His Latin temperament aroused, he forbids Mario the house and she goes to the artist. They are very happy until a telegram in a language foreign to her comes to him. He hastily leaves, promising to return soon. Some time elapses. Mario has sold all but one of Richard's paintings to keep a home for herself and child. The landlord demands his rent, but the sale of the remaining picture is not sufficient. A fierce struggle takes place between the two, and the building is set on fire by an overturned lamp. Mario with her child, manages to escape. She asks an old peasant to read the address on the telegram for her and he kindly takes her to the address, which is a grand mansion. She arrives just in time to see the bridal party of Richard and Vivian coming down the stairs. All her jealousy is aroused and she plunges her stiletto into his breast. For this she is to be executed, and that is the story she tells to the priest.
