The Riobamba spark is the title of a crime drama that Adolf Gärtner realized as a silent film in 1920 for Kassandra-Film (formerly Societäts-Film), Berlin . In this episode from the " Joe Jenkins " series, Kurt Brenkendorf played the energetic detective.
action
Joe Jenkins fights against a gang of unscrupulous girl traffickers on the steamer from which the title is based, on whose board "indecent slide dances" are held. Her boss is Count Coveland, a "ragged aristocrat who knows how to cast a spell over women through suggestion and hypnosis".
background
The film, a Kassandra-Film Berlin production, was photographed by Charles Paulus . The film buildings were created by the architect Barlitza . It was submitted to the Berlin censorship authority for examination on July 28, 1920 and received a youth ban, which was confirmed on July 30, 1920 under the number B.00128 by the supervisory authority - despite voluntary cuts in the 5th act. The premiere took place in Berlin in 1920 in the Berlin Sports Palace, which was also used as a movie theater and in 1919 was touted as the “largest cinema in the world”.
reception
Funkenruf is an outdated expression for "radio message, wireless message", as it was still in use during the First World War . The transmission equipment prior to the invention of the radio tube actually produced visible and audible sparks.
