Gay before audiences which forgot the
heat and gave themselves up to a
full enjoyment of the story of Span

man American intrigue in Havana
some seventy-odd years ago. This
Cuba of the early f1fties Is made
realistic in architecture, costume and
performance, great care evidently
having been taken in the selection of
the cast to secure just the right types
for character portrayal.
A small group of Cuban patriots
have sent an emissary to America to
obtain funds greatly needed to fur
ther' secret campaign for national
liberty.
The young patriot returns without
the money, but with an American
youth who is seeking adventure, and
who promptly adopts the cause of

Public demand has brought the pic

of nearly two years, and it is being fea-
tured at the Columbia Theater, as a
Shrine week offering.
When Vincente Blasco Ibanez wrote
this story it was hailed as a master
stroke of literary genius. Then Rex In

and, behold, a screen production of
Splendor SO stupendouS that it appals.
The story opens at time when the
old world is seething with political
hatred-the Europe of 1914, which is
just ripe for the stalking horseman of

of political peace and prosperity, with
no thought of the unleashing of the four

the old Spaniard, who intensely hates
his German son-in-law and his glass

that the child of his daughter and fav-

is. All the devotion which he would
lavish on his own son the old man gives
to Julio, to whom also he promises to
leave his vast estate. But he dies sud

the entire estate is divided between the
