Spain——
Springtime under the blue skies of Valencia——cobbled streets and hanging balconies—hot sunlight and orange-blossoms——the soft air drenched with sweetness——
02:05
Through the fragrant valley about Alcira winds the Júcar; unruffled, placid now, but a raging torrent of death when the rains come down.
02:37
For a hundred years the Moreno farmhouse had defied storm and flood—
02:56
The farmer Moreno——and Cupido, the town barber and singing master.
. . . Lucien Littlefield
03:11
Doña Pepa Moreno—
03:24
Leonora's prayers were simple: That Don Rafael Brull would that day pass her way——
03:36
—That the voice which God had given her might bring wealth and ease to her parents.
04:38
"My Leonora has a nightingale in her throat!"
04:45
"Bah! She has a frog in her throat!"
05:01
"I tell you to sing from the diaphragm and you—you sing from the tonsils!"
05:52
"Dios mio! Are you a barber or a prima donna?"
06:01
"I am an artist! When art calls me, whiskers can wait!"
06:23
For generations the family of Brull had dominated that smiling countryside——
06:34
Doña Bernarda Brull rode like a queen through her wide-spread acres, taking advice when it pleased her from the family lawyer, Don Andrés.
. . . Tully Marshall
06:54
"Tell the Morenos that old story about the banker wanting his money. They can't blame you then——"
07:07
Don Rafael Brull followed his mother like a young crown prince learning to rule.
07:57
"Wine of Spain! It would make a bullfrog sing tenor!"
09:05
"Doña Bernarda has called about the mortgage money."
09:13
"That old buzzard!"
09:57
"It breaks my heart to bring you sad news—"
10:08
"——But the heartless banker who advanced the money demands that you be put out of your home."
10:22
"Señora, give us time! Leonora and I can sleep under the hedges, but my wife——"
10:47
"I will try to arrange for her to remain. She can scrub for her keep."
11:04
"Hush, Pedro! I am sure Doña Bernarda has done all she can for us."
12:24
"Trust me, Leonora! When I can win my mother's consent, we will go to the priest."
14:01
"Thank God for tragedy! It forces us to go forward."
14:28
"We shall somehow get to Paris and Leonora's voice will make our fortunes!"
14:39
"A cattle-boat leaves Valencia tonight! You can catch it if you hurry!"
14:53
"Will you carry a note to Don Rafael?"
15:41
"No answer——you needn't wait."
16:13
My Rafael:
We are homeless and my father wants me to leave for Paris within the hour. Remember your vows, my Rafael. Come to me.
16:39
"You were hanging around that Moreno girl again today."
16:52
"Is that why you are sending them away?"
17:02
"He got that letter from her!"
17:10
"So! She writes to you!"
17:20
"Is honorable love a crime?"
17:28
"Are you sure it is honorable love?"
17:48
"Have you no respect for your mother—when I starve and slave—"
18:02
"—To make you a great man—a deputy—like your sainted father!"
18:13
"I don't want to be a saint! I want to be myself!"
18:38
"Rafael! For your own good—listen!—"
18:51
"——She would drag you down!—Ruin your career!——"
19:03
"——The disgrace would kill me!——"
20:37
"It will keep you from harm."
20:58
"The devil loves a beautiful woman—who is poor. My last peseta to keep him from you!"
21:17
"Rafael did not come, Cupido."
22:19
Then a curtain of gray years. Behind it Leonora Moreno vanished; from it emerged a new star—La Brunna, the idol of Paris.
23:14
"Not before the stagehands, Salvatti!"
23:46
"They say that after her father died, Salvatti trained her voice for nothing."
23:57
"Tenors never do anything for nothing."
24:07
La Brunna's fame reached Alcira, but none dreamed she was the lost Leonora; least of all Rafael Brull—who went the way his mother wished.
24:23

RAFAEL BRULL
OUR
DEPUTY
24:49
His mother's choice——the gentle Remedios, heiress to the pork king.
25:03
"I said a prayer for your election."
25:17
Don Matías loved his daughter but the real passion of his life was hogs.
25:32
"When will your father give his consent to our betrothal?"
25:45
"Wait and see if he's elected."
25:57
"Next week—surely."
26:18
"Don't give in to a man before you marry him—"
26:29
"——Or afterward, either."
26:37
The Café Américain in Paris——
26:57
"They say she was deserted by a young Spaniard—and since then she has had many affairs."
27:55
I'm a-goin' home!
28:41
"Why not? You are an artist. This may help you to be a greater one."
29:01
"Leonora! You are making yourself conspicuous!"
29:11
"He sang of home! Home! The old white house—and orange-blossoms. I am going home, Salvatti!"
29:33
And so a great prima donna came home. Like the tail of a comet, her retinue streamed out behind—
31:52
"I knew it would keep you from harm!"
34:17

"It is your voice! My Leonora—you are the great La Brunna!"
37:29
"That old vulture, Doña Bernarda, has succeeded in electing her squab to Congress!"
38:26
"—Your honor shall be mine. I will be in deed and in fact the Honorable Don Rafael Brull!"
39:02
"Rafael Brull——the honorable!"
40:03
"You ask too much—an extra hundred head of hogs in my daughter's dowry!"
40:15
"But—consider my son!"
40:20
"But——consider my hogs!"
40:40
"Look at the twist in that tail!"
41:14
"Tell me, Cupido, what did Leonora say when she heard I was deputy?"
41:26
"She just laughed."
41:42
"Poor girl——she did not look prosperous. What has she done, Cupido?"
42:21
"A La Brunna record!"
43:08
"You are—La Brunna!"
43:15
"La Brunna is my stage name."
43:30
"So—you have come in search of me, Rafael?"
43:51
"Still carrying my orange blossoms——"
44:02
"—But they are dead."
44:50
Next day the old garden was filled with melody—
45:39
"I will get some orange-blossoms for Remedios."
46:09
If I love you, then beware!
46:31
"Ah! The Honorable Deputy again!"
46:44
"I came—to pick some orange-blossoms."
46:55
"Think of it, Jocko! He came to pick orange-blossoms!"
47:16
"Well——go pick your orange-blossoms!"
48:10
"Remedios—will you marry me soon?"
48:23
Then a torrent—as furious and relentless as the passion that surged in the hearts of the lovers.
50:24
"Let's go to the Brull house—it's safer there!"
51:10
"The river is as mad as a wounded bull! Everything is going!"
51:21
"Leonora! Is she safe?"
51:28
"The dam is leaking! Her house will be in the path of the torrent!"
54:19
"I thought you were in danger—the torrent!"
54:36
"Why, Rafael, this old house has stood for a hundred years!"
54:51
"I'll find you some dry clothes."
56:03
"——You are not the same Leonora who went away."
56:12
"But you—you are the same careless boy who loved and forgot to keep faith!"
56:27
"Still, you tried to save my life and I am grateful."
56:40
"Does your mother know you are here?"
56:55
"My mother has nothing to do with it. I came—because——"
57:06
"You came—because—"
57:10
"——You love me!"
57:16
"I do love you, Leonora!"
57:35
"I believed in love once—and love failed me—"
58:09
"You are more beautiful than ever, Leonora!"
58:16
"—You like beautiful things?"
58:38
"——A Russian Grand Duke gave me this."
59:23
"Why not? A great sculptor modeled it. He admired my figure."
59:42
"Everything they say about you is true."
59:56
"Perhaps—and whose fault is it?"
1:00:31
The torrent became a memory—and cloudless skies smiled on the betrothal feast of Rafael and Remedios.
1:01:24
"See, Rafael, this is the mantilla I shall wear on our wedding night."
1:01:37
"It is very lovely, Remedios."
1:01:42
"It should be—it cost my father many pesetas."
1:02:05
"Will you excuse me, Remedios? I have a headache——"
1:02:34
Twilight and memories—the overpowering scent of orange-blossoms. An irresistible force drew him to the old garden.
1:04:09
"Rafael, I love you!"
1:04:42
Oh, take it—for it will not come again.
1:05:26
But Doña Bernarda was always to be reckoned with.
1:05:48
"Doña Pepa, disgrace has fallen on your house!"
1:05:59
"Your daughter! My son was with her here last night——until dawn!"
1:06:16
"How did she get her fine clothes—her jewels—the things she gives you?"
1:06:44
"You are a good woman, Doña Bernarda—you would not lie to me."
1:07:20
"You must go away—and never come back."
1:07:31
"Don't touch me!"
1:08:21
My Rafael,
I will not come between a son and his mother.
I leave today for Madrid.
1:08:49
The life of the great world again. Artists, bankers, noblemen—even royalty paid homage to La Brunna.
1:09:10
"They tell me you are leaving Madrid."
1:09:21
"Yes, Your Highness. I am going to America."
1:09:28
"Spain will miss you!"
1:09:43
"Don Rafael is here!"
1:11:04
"Leonora, I can't give you up! We must find a way!"
1:11:40
"The Paris Express leaves at six. Then Cherbourg——and America!"
1:12:08
"Bring me a spray of orange-blossoms. I want to be——like a bride."
1:13:14
"You will need those for your mother's grave if you persist in this madness."
1:13:31
"You cannot stop me now, Don Andrés! I am going on my own way!"
1:14:09
"A fortunate man, this Don Rafael!"
1:14:25
"It will kill your mother as surely as if you drove a dagger into her heart!"
1:14:57
"He is worthy, Your Highness. Help me to make him a great man."
1:15:10
"Dear lady, you have but to ask. His career shall be my personal concern."
1:15:27
"What can this woman do for you—but drag you down?"
1:15:38
"What of the people who made you deputy? They trusted you! And Remedios—you won her love!"
1:15:56
"You would blast your honor for a woman whose amours are the talk of all Europe?"
1:16:14
"It is not too late, Rafael—be a man!"
1:17:34
"Oh, God! Why can't I hate him?"
1:17:45
Life went on—year after year. For Rafael the treadmill of monotony—for Leonora the golden heights of song. Again Madrid——

Through all these years I have been chained to duty—but your memory has never faded. Let me see you for a moment. Rafael
1:20:28
"You are not—Rafael?"
1:21:09
"You are more beautiful than ever, Leonora! The years have passed you by."
1:21:21
"It is the business of a prima donna to remain young."
1:21:34
"And you——my poor Rafael! What have the years done to you?"
1:22:07
"You married her! The girl your mother chose."
1:22:17
"My wife is a good woman——"
1:22:23
"Children—I suppose?"
1:22:40
"Home—a good wife—money—a career—you have everything to make you happy."
1:22:56
"Everything—but love!"
1:23:08
"Don't be absurd! Would you have me rob a trusting wife of her husband—children of their father?"
1:23:36
"Love comes but once in a lifetime—and it has passed us by."
1:23:51
"Last act!"
1:23:57
"You see, Rafael——the last act! It is all over."
1:24:58
And so it goes. For those who miss the best, life deals a second best, in consolation.
1:27:20
"She must be very happy——she has everything she wants."
1:27:37
