Salomy Jane is a 1914 American Western feature film based on Bret Harte's 1898 novella of the same name. It is the only known surviving complete work of silent film era actress Beatriz Michelena and the California Motion Picture Corporation. In rough-and-tumble Gold Rush-era California, a woman (Salomy Jane) is saved from a ruffian (Red Pete) by a heroic stranger (Jack Dart), and he is saved from a lynching after being falsely accused of a crime.
