Wikipedia article




'The Splendid Romance' is a 1919 American silent drama film directed by Edward Jos, written by Margaret Turnbull, and starring Enrico Caruso, Ormi Hawley, Crauford Kent, and Charlotte Ives. It was released on June 1, 1919, by Paramount Pictures.

After the abysmal showing of Caruso's film debut in 'My Cousin', producers decided to not show 'The Splendid Romance' in the United States. However, both films were well received in England.[https://archive.org/details/enricocarusomyfa0000caru/page/260/mode/2up Enrico Caruso: My Father and My Family, by Enrico Caruso, (1990) p 261]
