was no playwright to hedge on his
audiences, the first of which saw the
play in 1882. He gave them multi
tude of characters who move briSkly
at all times. Moreover he gave them
sufficient deviousness of plot and
heaven storming speeches to make for
an entertaining, if sometimes mean
dering, evening in the theater. In his
three acts and l3 scenes, he keeps
you mystif1ed as to what is coming
next, although he sometimes makes
you impatient in the process. There
are moments when he seems actually
to have anticipated the movies in

For Rafael, a member of q distin-

only man in Hollywood who gets pic
ture billing under two names.
In American films he Is "Mr.
Storm" poised and polished actor
whose services as a supporting player
are in constant demand. That, how
ever, is hardly half the story. For
once he drops his alias Of Storm and
reverts to his proper name-Rafael
Alcaide-he becomes q star of the
first magnitude in Spanish films made
in this country for distribution in
Latin America and elsewhere where
the Spanish language is spoken.
In his four years in Hollywood. the
Latin actor has starred in innumer-
able Spanish pictures under his real
name of Alcaide and he boasts a
tremendous following throughout
Latin America.
At the moment, Rafael is again
wearing his American alias for a role
in the latest Ritz Brothers comedy,

The actor comes of a family long
