The Love of an Island Maid. A story of primitive hearts and master passions. Love and Jealousy, beneath a sunny, seabound sky, enact a drama full of the unexpected in their fierce struggle for supremacy. Written by LANIER BARTLETT. Produced by COLIN CAMPBELL. I CAST ..Phyllis Gordon ..Anna Dodge .. Prank Richardson CATALINA is a pretty shell vendor on an island off the California coast, simple-hearted, a passionate child of nature, a nymph in the water and as graceful as a chamois among the craigs of her sea-girt home. Loved by Amado, a native boatman, she is fascinated by John Dalton, whose friends are present on a visit, among them his fiancee, Eleanor Henry. Dalton, as a pleasant diversion, trifles with Catalina. To her it is a serious matter and, in a fit of jealousy, she is prevented from casting Eleanor from a craig into the sea by the sudden appearance of Amado. Her lover divines that she loves Dalton, the yachtsman, and he, in turn, acts from jealousy by boarding the craft, seizing Dalton in his arms and jumping overboard. Catalina follows and through her expert swimming manages to send Amado to the bottom and rescue Dalton. She has learned by now that Dalton does not love her and the following day, when he calls to reward her for saving his life, she dramatically refuses his gold and bears her humiliation with all the fine pride of her spirited race. The excellent acting displayed in this tangle of hearts and conflicting emotions is fully equal to the picturesque scenes of the story, the whole making an offering that cannot fail to arouse the keenest interest.
