A Romance of Old Mexico (1909)
A beautiful Spanish girl is observed on the front porch watering the flowers. A typical gypsy woman passing by offers to tell the girl's fortune. She consents and the gypsy warns her that she will soon have a lover's quarrel. Shortly afterward her sweetheart arrives in the person of a Spanish bull fighter. She implores him for her sake not to attend a dance at one of the concert balls of questionable reputation. He swears that he will not go, kisses her good-bye and, vowing his eternal love, departs. The following scene shows the interior of a Spanish café, where young couples are dancing together, singing and having a general good time as the bull fighter arrives. A capricious young girl greets him, climbs upon the table and dances a Fandango. The bull fighter is at once infatuated, pays her all manner of attention until she in turn falls in love with him. They are discovered by the gypsy woman, who hastens to make the facts known to the young Spanish girl of our first scene. She goes to the dance hall, enters unnoticed and surprises her lover in another girl's arms. She immediately plans vengeance. Upon her way home she meets a young fellow who accosts her, suddenly recollects her sweetheart's infidelity, and encourages his advances. In proof of his devotion the young gallant promises to serenade her that evening, and after midnight we find him before the house fulfilling his promise. The young girl appears on the balcony, then descends to thank the young fellow for the serenade. The bull fighter has been attracted by the music, draws near to the house just as his rival is declaring his love for the girl. Seeing this the bull fighter is about to engage in conflict when the young girl explains that he is a new admirer whom she prefers to him. The bull fighter, downcast, returns to his apartment and attires himself in his best toreador costume for the fight in the arena. He is extremely sorrowful for his infidelity and kisses his lost sweetheart's picture as he departs. Several hours later the gypsy woman, who was one of the spectators at the bullfight, has observed the injury to the bull fighter, sends a message to the Spanish girl, who hastens to the arena hospital and finds her former lover badly injured. She becomes reconciled, and he promises eternal fidelity in case of recovery.
