In 1919 he traveled to Hollywood to report on the new cinematographic industry.

The book was edited under the names "La inutil curiosidad" and "Las experiencias de Miss Patsy" (Para qué? -- "Ché" Ferrati, inventor—El viejo amigo—Las experiencias de Miss Patsy—La grande ilusión—El tesoro de Cabeza de Vaca—Fracaso—El honor del ridículo)
