The Curse of Capistrano is a 1919 novella by Johnston McCulley and the first work to feature the fictional character Zorro (zorro is the Spanish word for fox). After the enormous success of The Mark of Zorro (1920 film), the story was republished under that name. Prior to being published in novella form, The Curse of Capistrano appeared as five serialized installments in the pulp magazine All-Story Weekly.

Wonderful Story for Fairbanks' Next Picture

March 9, 1921 by Staff Writer

Full of Action, Heart Interest and Suspense, Story Gives "Doug" Great Chance

In keeping with the letter of the sagacious critics that the supreme test of a successful photoplay should be characterized in the first instance by a good story replete with action, Douglas Fairbanks in "The Mark of Zorro," a United Artists production that is to be shown at the Empress Theatre, beginning tomorrow, has certainly amongst other things, fulfilled that requirement.

This story adapted from Johnston McCulley's "The Curse of Capistrano" that was tenured serially in the "All Story Weekly" magazine, can be safely said to surpass all of "Doug's" previous screen productions and to establish a new record in expansive film creation. The main action of the story has as it locale early Southern California with its colorful, picturesque, indolent life as existed before Americans migrated to its borders.

Indolence reigns in the picture play until the agile "Doug" enters the scenes and hence all become inured to the greatest amount of activity as usually transpires wherever he makes his appearance.

Full of swift, bristling action, there is a strong love interest quite different t=from that attempted by Fairbanks heretofore.   We also find a relieving touch running through the entire picture that buoys one up for the starting events that are in all details, gripping, impassioned and mystifying.

Every detail of setting and acting has been given the greatest care in presentation, thus creating a harmony of art that is distinctly superior.

It is fundamentally a drama showing the seminary influence. As such, it contains something that always causes us to focus our attention throughout, a force which has made all of Fairbanks' pictures so notable and compelling an entertainment. Much more can be promised for this feature picture without the slightest danger of misapprehension.

For the cast, Fairbanks surrounded himself with an exceptionally strong one.  When Doug first went over this vehicle, he realized that a number of changes in his company would be necessary if justice was to be done to the story because of its deviation from anything heretofore done by him.  As a result of which a most careful selection was made; therefore we had that Fairbanks has gathered a host of new faces that have never appeared together with him upon the screen.

The public can certainly feel assured that the management of the Empress theatre during the past year has not been amiss in providing its patrons with the very best obtainable.  With this statement, they can look forward with expectant pleasure ot the coming picture.  Fairbanks has surely spared neither time nor expense in providing the very best for his large host of admirers.

Critics and public are wonderfully enthusiastic over "The Mark of Zorro."
