Chaney plays the most sympathetic character, but yes, it's a stereotypical "Chinaman."  Note that a completely different actor named Harrison Ford shows up close to the quarter hour.  Tom Forman directed.

This is on a Lon Chaney collection.  I'm not into silents, but I was mildly intrigued by the assassination committee and the love triangle.  This is now easily the oldest movie so far on this project, since previously that was a couple movies from 1925.  This one is based on Gouverneur Morris's novel The Purple Mask and directed by Wallace Worsley.
