Katherine Adams stars in The Jesters a romantic drama in verse by Zumacals adapted from a French tale. Despite her grace the plot remains thin with a castle intrigue and a comic Italian role that outshines the weak narrative.
The Tacon theater in Havana, bought by the Spanish Dramatic company for 550000, has a vivid past. In 1835 pirate hunter Francisco Morty gained a two week parole from Governor General Tacon by denouncing his fellow pirates, earning pardon. In 1836 Morty secured a national theater concession and forty Morro Castle convicts built the theater, named after Tacon, completed in 1838. The theater, a large white stone venue facing Central Park, seats over 3000 and was central to Havana’s fashionable district during turbulent times.

An American car road race segment describes a winding course with six cylinder cars reaching speeds over sixty miles per hour on straightaways and sharp turns. It also recounts a humorous incident where boxer James Jeffries attends a stag party in San Francisco and narrowly escapes a domestic complication, joking about facing trouble at home.
