- The notion of what it is to be Latino is explored through a discourse of passionate statements and reflexive images by eight emerging Latino filmmakers, Adam Schlachter, Anthony Nardolillo, Carlos Gallardo, Fanny Veliz, Iris Almaraz, Katrina Elias, Ruben Obregon, and Shawna Baca, all having distinguished, diverse backgrounds. From where they were born, to where they grew up, to their favorite Latino dance styles, to their favorite Latino films, to exploring their dreams, desires, struggles, and passions, to individually defining what it is to make their own, personal films, and what they hope to achieve and influence through their films with their culture, audience, and self-identity. A lyrical and expressive juxtaposition of vignettes embraces the differences within their own ethnicity to define Latino as different colors from different places coming together. It further suggests indirectly that perhaps to be Latino is the same as to be a human being.Votes11

- Mrs. Casey, a pretty young widow is sought by O'Brien and Sullivan, who are rivals. Mrs. Casey shows a preference to O'Brien, who is the younger and better looking than Sullivan. Sullivan and O'Brien call on Mrs. Casey at the same time. They determine that neither would leave before the other, so both make love to Mrs. Casey while she is ironing. O'Brien unfortunately picks up a hot iron and Sullivan unconsciously places his hat on the gas stove. The hat catches fire, which compels Sullivan to rush from the house, leaving O'Brien and the widow alone. O'Brien takes advantage of his opportunity and he and the widow becomes engaged. Mrs. Casey goes to market, and, fearing O'Brien might call, she writes on a card, 'Wait inside," and tacks it on the front door. She is about to go when her black sash catches, and Mrs. Casey walks away without discovering that she has left the sash behind. A newsboy sees it and hangs it on a nail by the door. Then he looks at the card on the door and changes it from "Wait inside" to "Wake inside," pinning it on the sash. Immediately after his departure a dozen of Mrs. Casey's neighbors, passing by the house, see the ominous crape, think that Mrs. Casey is dead and proceed to pass the news about the village. Meanwhile a hobo, tortured by the pangs of hunger, has entered the kitchen of the dwelling and eats his fill. He then goes to the bedroom, and lays on the bed, pulls the sheet over his head and falls asleep. By this time Mrs. Casey's neighbors begin to enter the "chamber of death," carrying floral offerings. On seeing the still body underneath the sheet, they take it for granted that they are looking upon the remains of poor, poor Mrs. Casey. They pile the "bier" high with floral offerings and give vent to their grief. Meanwhile, as Mrs. Casey is doing her marketing, O'Brien and Sullivan are procuring marriage licenses. Sullivan, unable to read, gets a dog license, while O'Brien secures a marriage license. They then buy a bunch of flowers and proceed to the widow's. They view with alarm the black ribbon hanging on the door, and on entering the death chamber become wild with grief. The hobo continues to snooze peacefully. Mrs. Casey returns, struggling under the weight of a big basket. She enters her room, filled with mourners and creates a panic. Her profound amazement is not half so great as the terror of the neighbors, who think they are looking at Mrs. Casey's ghost. In the height of the confusion, the hobo springs wildly from the bed and dashes through the front door. The crowd follows and after an exciting chase, captures him and returns to the house. Explanations follow, and when the neighbors have recovered their composure, someone suggests that a wedding be performed on the spot. The flowers, the minister, the guests, the bride and groom are there, so instead of sad funeral bells, there are gay wedding chimes.Votes19

- A social film with high melodrama, concerning a peasant (Shantaram) who loses his land to a greedy money-lender and moves to the city where he becomes a mill worker. Taking its cue from the realist tradition, the film counterposes an idyllic rural life (destroyed but the greedy money-lender who uses forged papers to steal the peasant's land) with the harsh city life. The shot of a hut accompanied by a howling dog are regarded as one of the most memorable moments of Indian cinema to date.Votes5

Helped by a mysterious Chinese and a cunning vamp, he carefully lays a trap to eliminate the annoying Zas.Votes7
- Judson Brand, a powder manufacturer, is approached by the envoys of two warring nations, but before entering into a contract with Baron Von Halstyn, envoy for Gravonia, he sends his son, Marshall, to investigate the country's financial condition. Burghoff, Sashofen's envoy, is advised of a blockade and instructed to halt shipments of munitions to the enemy. Both envoys try to enlist the help of Jan Bernheim, a clever political exile from Gravonia. Out of revenge, she promises to aid Burghoff, but patriotism prevails and she goes over to Von Halstyn, although pretending to remain in the employ of Burghoff. Elinor, Brand's daughter, is engaged to Fosdick, a humanitarian propagandist, who opposes Brand's mercenary attitude in furnishing munitions. Burghoff allies himself with Fosdick, and together they hope to control the vote of the congressional committee against furnishing munitions. The committee is divided in opinion and the deciding vote is with Hayes, the chairman who favors the non-participating policy. Brand quarrels with Fosdick about the issue and forces Elinor, in sympathy with Fosdick, to break her engagement, when Fosdick refuses to renounce his principle. Jan induces Burghoff to give Fosdick a check for a thousand dollars "for charitable purposes." Jan secures the canceled check which the unsuspecting Fosdick has accepted, for evidence against him, and when Von Halstyn urges her to win over Hayes to their side, she does so by showing him the check, which she makes him believe was accepted as a bribe from Burghoff. Burghoff refuses to accept defeat and proposes to Fosdick the blowing up of the powder mills, but Fosdick refuses to listen, so Burghoff undertakes it alone unknown even to Jan. Brand's son, traveling through the war zone, finds their Brandite shells being used by both sides, and is so absorbed in commercialism that he is untouched by the evidence of suffering about him. Fosdick saves the life of a child belonging to one o£ the men employed by Burghoff to blow up the mills. Brand receives a favorable report from his son and he and Von Halstyn ride over to the mill to sign up the contract, accompanied by Elinor and Jan. Fosdick, in Burghoff's office waiting for him, answers the telephone and learns of the plot to destroy the mills within an hour. He tries to reach Brand only to find that he and Elinor have gone to the mill. Fosdick drives to the mills, and through his efforts the plan only partially succeeds; no one is hurt but Mason, the man who was on the job. Fosdick is found trying to put out the fuse and is accused by Brand of attempting to blow up the mill. Mason, however, clears him when he recovers and Von Halstyn and Jan are arrested by a secret service man who has been trailing them. Brand stubbornly insists that Fosdick is to blame for it all and vows he will sign the contract away. Then the final argument presents itself, his beloved son has been killed by a Brandite shell. Later Von Halstyn and Jan are deported. Burghoff flees the country and Fosdick and Elinor are united. Brand turns from the manufacture of ammunition to Red Cross work.Votes14
- A photoplay is wanted quick. The manager calls in the director to give him one in a hurry. The director shows him several scripts, but they do not suit; so the director is compelled to call the scenario writer to have a play written in an hour. The director summons his company and reads the play to them; then tells them to make up, while he gives his plots to the stage manager. Being weary, he falls asleep in a chair in the center of the stage and dreams the following: A young girl, employed in an office, falls in love with the head clerk. The boss is a black mustached villain, who is also in love with the girl. To make an impression he gives her his photo, which she throws with contempt on the table. He then tries to embrace her. She calls for help, when her sweetheart (the head clerk) comes to her rescue. At this juncture, the heavy man is not strong enough in the part and the director stops the play and shows him what to do. The play is resumed, the "heavy" throws the head clerk into a vault and locks him in, then embraces the girl, who repulses him and runs. The clerk by his superior strength batters down the steel vault door and escapes. The "heavy" pursues the unfortunate girl up the fire-escape to the roof, then to the water tower, where she defends her honor by beating him over the head with an iron rod. Fearing she has killed him she makes her retreat, only to be pursued by the villain. Rushing to the edge of the roof, she sees her lover, and calls him. He tells her to jump. She does so and alights safely in his arms. Undaunted, the villain, saying she shall not escape me, leaps six stories to the ground. Landing uninjured, he starts in pursuit. Here is where the detective takes up the trail, and after a long chase catches the villain. The stage hands, in setting the stage, allow a piece of scenery to fall upon the director, which awakens him from his dream.Votes14

- Spoony Sam is a veritable pest at Si Hawkins' farm, and the girls treat him as a huge joke. In a city cigarette factory there is a peach of a young girl, Fannie Fatima. She writes a note on one of the leaves of a book of cigarette papers, declaring she will wed the man who finds it. Spoony Sam happens to buy that particular paper of cigarettes. He sends Fannie a prompt proposal and she writes him that she will arrive in Farmers' Branch on Friday. When the eventful Friday rolls around Sam, hugging his secret, is dressed his best to go to the depot to meet Fannie, but his boss, Si Hawkins, commands him to stay at home and do the work. Sam stays, in disgust, and Hawkins goes to the depot in his wagon to receive a summer boarder, Miss Wiggins, an old maid of fifty, who spends her time in chasing anything that wears pants. Fannie missed the first train and did not arrive with Miss Wiggins. Hawkins takes Spinster Wiggins to the farm house, and the old maid's efforts to make love at the dinner table highly amuse the farmhands. Sam is still outside, hoeing, and has not yet seen Miss Wiggins. While feeling in Sam's coat pocket for some tobacco one of the farmhands discovers the letter to Sam from his "cigarette girl." Here is the chance to pass off Miss Wiggins as the cigarette girl. They hunt up Miss Wiggins on the front porch, tell her Sam is simply crazy about her, and one of the hands goes to get Sam. Sam hurriedly puts on his Sunday clothes, rushes out to the porch, is introduced to Miss Wiggins, and nearly drops dead from heart failure. In thorough disgust he flees in wild haste when Miss Wiggins embraces him. The other gives chase. The chase leads the crowd through a hayfield, where Sam is smoked out of a hay-stack, where he had taken refuge. With smoke-filled eyes Sam beats it for the railway track and speeds down the rails. Miss Wiggins, with some of the farmhands, boards a hand-car standing near and gives chase. But Sam out-distances them. The track leads him to the depot. The train has just arrived and there stands Fannie, bright and beautiful on the platform, helplessly inquiring for Sam. Not knowing Sam by sight she appeals to Sam, himself. The minute she shows him the letter he had written her, the recognition is instant, and they embrace just as the crowd on the handcar catch up with them. A minister happens to be in the depot, and amid much cheering, Sam and Fannie are made one.Votes13

- The Horseshoe Cloisters at the foot of the steps up to the west door of St. George's Chapel is literally the journey's end. With the arrival of the gun carriage the open-air pageant that began so quietly at Osborne, closes in the same note of peace. A very picture of human life seems that procession of the dead -- so restful in the surroundings whence it started, to pass by and through packed streets, then this deserted cloister, empty of all sound till we seem to hear the murmur of the myriad London surging up from over the gray plains. Policemen guard either archways; the distant battlements are lined with spectators; occasionally a quaint old singing man flits on his way to take his place in the choir -- beyond that, no whisper, no stir. Then a flag company of foot guards enter the cloisters to occupy the semicircle of grass facing the steps, and the police are withdrawn. Worn out, and with the dry eyes of those who have no more tears to shed -- that was the picture of the principal mourners -- the King and Duke of Connaught -- as they stood surrounded by their royal kinsmen at the foot of the steps, white pall and crown were lifted away and the plain oak coffin was reverently hoisted to the shoulders of faithful Guardsmen. This the bier was born up the steps, the steepness of which, coupled with the tremendous weight of the coffin, made the last few yards of the progress very difficult. Very slowly the mourners mounted the wreath-lined way to the iron doors -- first the King and his only brother; then the German Emperor, the King of the Belgians, and the Kings of Greece and Portugal, the Crown Prince of Russia, whose face bears the bright tokens of a vigorous mind; the Czarewitch, young too and kindly; and many more from many kingly houses. Thus very, very slowly did they follow their kinswoman on her journey from the servitude of earth and pomp and kingship, through the iron gates she passes, a soul set free. This Film is the final and most impressive of all the many photographs we have secured of this historical pageant, and is the only animated photo secured within the walls of Windsor Castle, by special permission of the high authorities. It is unique, and of great historical value, inasmuch as this part of the ceremony was entirely private, none but the very highest personages being admitted within the cloisters. Photographically perfect.Votes27

- Mary Jane had nursed Black Bill's wife through a spell of fever and Bill was grateful with all the fullness of his rough nature. He sent Mary Jane a necklace and a note in which he promised on his honor to someday discharge his debt. It happened later, that one of Bill's horses was stolen. Bill and his friends found the thief, and were bringing him into town to a handy tree, when they passed Mary Jane, drawing water from the old well. Bill had a drink and Mary, in pity, raised the cup to the lips of Bob Ford, the horse thief, whom she had never seen before. He was in the stupor of despair and drank greedily, but with no sign of intelligence. Moved by a sudden womanly feeling which she could not classify, Mary Jane leaned forward, and in a great wave of sympathy, she pressed a kiss full upon the lips of the thief. The effect was like an electric shock to him. He raised his eyes and looked upon a girl who was fair and sweet. He, who had been about to die, felt the warm blood of energy and ambition coursing through his veins. Watching his chance, he slipped his bonds, felled one of his captors with a blow, ducked the shots of the others, and putting spurs to his horse, dashed madly to the cabin of Mary Jane for one more look before he died. She found him and secreted him in her bedroom just before the lynchers arrived. Her furious anger at their intrusion drove them out, but Ford had heard their conversation and knew that his presence there had endangered the good name of the girl he had come to love, so he quietly stole from the window and allowed himself to be captured in the timber. Mary Jane saw him being led to the nearest tree. She suddenly thought of the necklace and Bill's promise and dashed after him. Thus importuned, Bill lived up to his obligations like a man. He not only forced the boys to give up their "lynching bee," but he paved the way for Ford to leave the country with Mary Jane, knowing that she would make a man of him.Votes13
