Movies Way Back When: The Romance in Montecito
bjgreen
By Betsy J. Green
This 1913 romantic drama was released on February 15. The film begins with a wealthy young lady who’s rather bored. Life is pretty mundane in the mansion on the hill overlooking the sea. Well, just how long can you look at the walls of a mansion, and out at the water that’s just – water.
But when a handsome and wealthy young man enters the scene, life at the mansion starts improving at the tempo of a ragtime beat. This movie was filmed at the first “Bellosguardo,” one of the million-dollar mansions in Montecito. (This home was rebuilt after the 1925 earthquake.)
Betsy’s Way Back When book — 1919 — is now available in local bookstores and at Amazon.com. This is the sixth book in her series of the history of Santa Barbara, one year at a time. Learn more at .
