Henry Short, an associate and cameraman for Robert W. Paul, traveled to Spain and Portugal to make a 14-part film series, aptly named A Tour in Spain and Portugal. For many years, only one of that collection was believed to have survived: A Sea Cave Near Lisbon. However, in recent years, a second film was recovered due to its preservation as a novelty item called a Filoscope, essentially a flip book that could be used to simulate motion. In fact, a few titles from the R.W. Paul catalog were saved this way, as Short published several of his films in the Filoscope format. These books were able to be re-photographed and animated, allowing previously lost films to be seen again in the 21st century.For world cinema buffs, Andalusian Dance is one of the oldest surviving films shot in Spain. The dancers are two sisters, Margarida and Amparo Aguilera, who both worked at the Teatro Real Coliseu, a place where Paul's films were on display at the time of this film's production. The two women dance back and forth across a room: one wearing a dress, the other a more masculine outfit. The film quality isn't the greatest, due to it having to be reconstructed from the Filoscope, but it is clear enough for the viewer to follow. Worthwhile mainly as a curiosity.
