Opera House in When California Was
WOn.'' Commodore SlOat of the Amer
lean navy demands of the Mexican
governor the surrender OF California.
The commOdore's lieutenant, Tom
Marston, is impressed with the beauty
of the governors daughter, Manuelita.
The young lady does not seem at all
displeased. That night the lieutenant
runs a great risk for another sight
of Manuelita. Dressed as Il Mexican,
he approaches the house of the fair
Mexican girl, but shortly after his ar
rival he is discovered, pursued and
captured. To shield Manuelita he
dares death by saying. Il am spy.
Manuelit&. learning Of his arrest, rows
out in a boat to the American man of
war, where a rescue party is quickly
formed. Rapidly gaining the shore a
run is made for The settlement. Lieu
tenant Marston is freed just as he is
TO be shot as a SPY, and the capture
of the colony is effected Other photo

ScOrned" and "Archibald, the Hero.
