has been allowed 70 displace rough and :

It is n gay and colorful story mt the
beginning, dramatic and interesting
one in the middle. and an impressively
tragic one at the end. In fact. the
tragedy Is more conclusive in tho film

or failure Of Rodolph Valentino In the
role Of Juan Gallar,lo. and We find Il
necessary to equivocatc. Compared with
the wonderful nuances Of finer acting
with which skinner decorated the part.
Valentines s characterization Is cold and
spiritless. Whereas Skinner made Of his
dressing scene n thing Of a thousand
dramatic values. Valentino makes II
only a few hundred feet Of film out OF
six thousand. Whereas Skinner was,
alternately, vain. passionate, humorous,
irritable. superstitious. cynical, child.

almost always the romantic hero, with
only occn stonal glimpses Of PEASANTS
superstition and n bull fighter vanity.
therein lies the one real defect Of this
exceptional picture. Miss Mathis mnrred
her splendid scenario in one respect.

She has reformed Galardo and made

wiles Of Dona Sol up to the last ditch,
and even then only partially succumbs.
Tie love scenes then are laughable
Gnllnrdo is made out as country

the people. All this may be quite moral
and censor proof, but It almost ruins
the story.
Forgetting Skinner. and forgetting

our hats off to the popular Rodolph
