This was shown today as part of the British silent film symposium.Mind you it was only the 23 minute pathescope version.In order to promote their 9.5 mm gauge projectors.So they had to cut away a lot of the plot to create a coherent mini version.They had renamed their version Dolores.It is set in Spoin.It concerns the exploits of a rather loose lady played by Benita June.She has a rather mangled love life always jolting one suitor in favour of another.She drives one ardent suitor so crazy that having been rejected he goes off on a suicidal effort to climb a mountain only to cause the fall of a famous explorer who was trying to stop him.Of course everything ends happily.It was directed by Adrian Brunel who was a top director of the time.
