Salomy Jane (1914 Film)
''Salomy Jane'' is a 1914 silent Western drama film based on Bret Harte's 1898 novella "Salomy Jane's Kiss" and Paul Armstrong's 1907 play based on Harte's story, '' Salomy Jane''. ''Salomy Jane'' was California Motion Picture Corporation's (CMPC) debut feature, as well as the screen debut of stage actress and singer Beatriz Michelena. George E. Middleton saw in his Latina wife a competitor to Mary Pickford as a premier screen star, and each CMPC production was intended to be a Michelena vehicle. Despite being well received by the public, it did not return a profit for the national distributor, Alco Films. It is the only known surviving complete work of silent film era actress Beatriz Michelena and the CMPC. Plot In rough-and-tumble Gold Rush-era California, Salomy Jane is saved from the ruffian Baldwin by a heroic stranger (the Man, aka Jack Dart), and he is saved from a lynching after being falsely accused of a crime.
