Action is the keynote of "The Dominion of Fernandez," the latest two-reel episode of Kalem's "The Girl From Frisco" series. The two reels are crowded with wild horse riding, gun fighting, fist fighting and all other sorts of fighting that help make an exciting western. In this number is told the story of a Castilian who reigns supreme over a little kingdom of Mexicans in the California mountains. The inhabitants of the "dominion" make their living by cattle rustling and smuggling. They steal Barbara Brent's pet horse, and together with her father and a young man visiting the ranch Barbara goes after the band. They get into all sorts of tight places and fight their way out. Marin Sais is seen in the leading role. Others in the cast are Frank Jonasson, Ronald Bradbury and Edward Clisbee. Directed by James W. Home. – The Moving Picture World, February 10, 1917
