Rose of the Tenements is a 1926 American silent melodrama film, directed by Phil Rosen. It stars Shirley Mason, John Harron, and Evelyn Selbie, and was released on December 5, 1926, by Film Booking Offices of America.

Plot

Rose Rosetti, an orphaned daughter of a New York gangster, and Danny Lewis, another orphan, were raised by Sara and Abraham Kaminsky, an elderly Jewish couple who owned an artificial-flower shop on the lower East Side. Rose works at the shop, while Danny, after defeating a bully from the ward, becomes involved with a political gang. Upon the Kaminskys' death, they reveal Rose's true parentage to her and leave the shop to Danny and Rose. Danny, rescued from the gang by Rose, becomes entangled with Willifsky, a Bolshevik agitator, and Emma Goldstein, his associate. Danny falls in love with Emma, who manipulates him for their cause. When the war with Germany breaks out, Danny refuses to enlist in the army. During an altercation where Willifsky and Emma are attacked by a crowd, Danny intervenes, assaulting a policeman to help them. With the help of Galligan, a ward leader, Danny is cleared of charges and decides to enlist in the army after preventing Emma from throwing a bomb.
