BLOOD AND SAND (1922) 125 Meanwhile Valentino scored fresh triumphs in an adaptation of another Ibaiiez novel, Blood and Sand. Again June Mathis wrote the script, but Fred Niblo directed. Nita Naldi, shown here with Valentino, played the titled Dona Sol who flatters and seduces the great matador when he is successful and leaves him as soon as his future looks precarious. The story of Blood and Sand concerns a great Spanish bullfighter who is killed in the arena because he overestimates his skill. Lila Lee, below, played his faithful wife. The scene shown is the closing one, in which the dying matador hears the applause for the new popular favorite who has replaced him. She tells him that the applause is for him, and he dies, believing her.
