The Evil Eye (1913)
Senor Don Alma Bendadoso, who has been away from his native home, has sent word to his adherents that he is returning to his castle for the purpose of teaching the true word of God. One of the local newspapers printed a warning to the natives, who are all superstitious to a terrible degree. In his boyhood, the don, while out hunting, met with an enraged mountain lion, which he held with his eye and escaped unharmed, the people then giving him the title of "He of the Evil Eye," and fearing him from that day forward, therefore the unjust title held fast to this quiet man of love. Upon his arrival the people were warned by one Don Immonco Superstisioso and his daughter's sweetheart, Ocloso Ignoranto. The girl, Sobre Superstisioso, wishing to know more about the man with the evil eye, fled the house to the thick of the fray and there met the cursed one, who fascinated her, much to the chagrin and envy of the one who has been selected for her. Later the girl cultivated the acquaintance of Alma, and finds him to be a master, and superior in every way to those with whom she had come in contact, and respect and admiration slowly ripened into love, which was returned by he of the evil eye. Her father demanded that she marry Ocloso Ignoranto, and she finally declared herself by saying that one month hence she will marry him who is most worthy. Senor Don Alma Bendadoso rises clear from the darkness of ignorance to that lightness of reason and understanding, enveloping the girl with the halo from his own soul.
