El relicario-where is it?


i've heard that that the song is in the film, but where exactly. In 'The Sheik', he sings the kashmiri love song, but i don't see 'El relicario anywhere in the film.

It appears about 17 minutes into the film- I have the Kino DVD, and it's just an instrumental, he doesn't actually sing the song.

This is a SILENT film!

You want to hear Valentino sing "El Relicario"? He recorded both it and the "Kashmiri Love Song" for Brunswick in 1923 and the records are available for free download from archive.org.

The links are:

"El Relicario": http://www.archive.org/details/RudolphValentino-ElRelicario1923

In 1923, he recorded the songs Kashmiri Song and El Relicario for Brunswick Records (yes, in English) but it wasn't issued for another 10 years or so. If you can find the 78, it will set you back at least $50 or more.
