The hilarious tempo of the story changes to one of sadness—the mother of a happy house- hold quietly slips away A year passes and Consuelo, older daugh- ter who now mothers the family causes her father deep worry for she has the sam.e symp- toms which marked her mother's decline. Sr Lopez is afraid of doctors, uninformed about sanatoria and burdened with the belief that tuberculosis is inherited. Consuelo, herself, secretly dreads her doom. But the wise Padre discovers the household's distress and per- suades them to see the doctor Then follow scenes in the doctor's oflace, the X-ray room and finally the sanatorium. In all these experiences Lopez learns much about tuberculosis from the doctor and nurse and he in turn becomes a missionary of tuber- culosis prevention among his friends. Not to be overlooked is Pedro, an upstanding young cabellero. His serenade "Ciolito Lindo" sung beneath his sweetheart's sanatorium window would cure worse things than tuberculosis. Even the watchman who discovers Pedro be- hind a bush, gradually weakens and vibrates with the song. Of course they get married, Consuelo and Pedro, but only after assurance that her recovery is complete. Under the benevolent shadow of Our Lady of Guadalupe in the old Spanish church the Padre pro- nounces the solemn benediction and then— The scene bursts into the wedding supper where all is vivid and gay and noisy. "Do you remember," says the Padre to the doctor at his elbow, "that on a previous occasion I remarked that they are a happy people? And now I may add, a healthy people." The music is by San Antonio's unique Tipica Or- chestra of 50 pieces. There are two versions: Spanish and English J. , , , ^,. , -, . -- ^.
