Near To Earth

Directed by D.W. Griffith

With Lionel Barrymore, Robert Harron, Gertrude Bambrick, Mae Marsh and Kathleen Butler

This is the story of Gato, an Italian immigrant, who lives with his wife, Marie, and his younger brother, Giuseppe, on a small truck farm in the west. Gato becomes so intent on his work that he neglects to show his wife the little attentions she demands. A foppish wandering Italian, Sandro, sees in this an opportunity to work his ends, but is prevented by the timely interference of Giuseppe.
