La última cita Synopsis

Alvaro Soler, a violinist on the road to fame, is invited to a cafe where Yolanda, the adopted daughter of his good friend, the Bohemian Crispín, is dancing. As the pianist has not shown up, Alvaro accompanies Yolanda's dance on his violin, and they are a great hit. Alvaro falls in love with the dancer to the extent of canceling all his concerts just to be with her. Enrique Soria, an old friend of Alvaro's, suggests that he appear in a benefit concert organized by his wife Magda to ensure that the artist's name is not forgotten. Magda becomes infatuated with the violinist and dominates him remorselessly. Obliged to fight a duel with Enrique and then abandoned by Magda, the wretched Alvaro also loses Yolanda, who marries a well-to-do admirer. About twenty-five years later, Alvaro, now performing all over the world, has finally triumphed as an artist. He returns to New York, where he is visited by a young lady who looks like Yolanda. The woman, Yolanda's daughter, reminds Alvaro of his true love.

The Great Shadow Synopsis

Jim McDonald, the foreman of a shipbuilding plant and head of the labor union, strives to combat the anarchistic propaganda being put forth by Klimoff, the leader of a Bolshevik gang whose goal is to disrupt the country with strikes and anarchy. Despite McDonald's efforts, a strike is called, resulting in chaos. McDonald's child is knocked down by runaway horses abandoned by their striking driver, and dies. Mob scenes take place in America, as well as in Russia. Eventually, the unrest is quelled with an armistice called between Capital and Labor for a year, during which time wages are to be increased to reflect the cost of living, and leaders are to work out a common plan for their mutual advantage. The strikers now realize that they have been pawns of the Bolsheviks and call off the strike, agreeing to the plan.
