"The Confessor", attributed to the pioneering Baños brothers, is a curious and not very well known pornographic silent film that constitutes a true exception in the treatment of religion in Spanish silent cinema. In this way, the pornographic attraction of "The Confessor" is built through the perversion of the priestly vow of celibacy and the sacrament of penance. This film can be considered as another chapter in the cultural tradition of criticizing the vices of the clergy, and as a consequence of the environment and the new leisure culture that took place in the Europe of the so-called "frivolous twenties".
La Cenerentola è un dramma giocoso di Gioachino Rossini su libretto di Jacopo Ferretti. Il titolo originale completo è La Cenerentola, ossia La bontà in trionfo. Il soggetto fu tratto dalla celebre fiaba Cendrillon di Charles Perrault (1697), ma Ferretti si servì anche di due libretti d'opera: Cendrillon di Charles Guillaume Etienne per Nicolò Isouard (1810) e Agatina, o la virtù premiata di Francesco Fiorini per Stefano Pavesi (1814). L'opera fu composta in circa tre settimane e Rossini, come fece in altre occasioni, affidò ad un assistente (in questo caso Luca Agolini) la composizione dei recitativi secchi, delle arie di Alidoro (Vasto teatro è il mondo) e Clorinda (Sventurata! Mi credea) e del coro Ah, della bella incognita. La prima rappresentazione ebbe luogo il 25 gennaio 1817 al Teatro Valle di Roma. Il contralto Geltrude Righetti Giorgi, che era stata già la prima Rosina del Barbiere di Siviglia, cantò il ruolo della protagonista.
