The Curse of Capistrano (Dramatic Reading)
by Johnston MCCULLEY (1883 - 1958)13 - Love Comes Swiftly
The Curse of Capistrano is the first work to feature the fictional character Zorro (the Spanish word for "fox"). The story was later republished under the name The Mark of Zorro. The outlaw Zorro is Public Enemy #1 in southern California during the period of Mexican rule. But he's not a bad guy, really - he fights for justice for the oppressed. And when he meets the lovely Lolita, daughter of Don Pedro, who is on the governor's bad side, he has even more reason to fight. But she's being wooed by the rich and influential but wimpy Don Diego... - Summary by TriciaGCast List:Narrator: Christine LehmanDon Diego Vega / Zorro: Tomas PeterSergeant Pedro Gonzales: Larry WilsonLandlord: Jason in Panama Don Carlos Pulido, Corporal, A Man, Soldier, Assistant, Courier: Nick BulkaDoña Catalina Pulido: TriciaGSeñorita Lolita Pulido: Adele de PignerollesLandlord: Jason in PanamaDon Alejandro Vega: Roger MelinFray Felipe, Gentleman of Age, Dispensero, Tipsy Caballero: Phil SchempfMagistrado, Jailer: Zames CurranCaptain Ramon: jasonlohrSpokesman of the Caballeros: Chuck WilliamsonGovernor: Scotty SmithAnother Caballero: AnttiV & ElijahServant, Dealer in Hides, Third Caballero, Man: ToddHWSergeant, Guard: ShastaNative: Esther ben SimonidesAudio edited by TriciaGProof-listened by TriciaG & Joy M.
