-When the now widowed Mrs. Fairburn’s father died, he left his farm to his daughter, with the proviso that the ground should not be dug up to look for diamonds, something that has always frustrated Mrs. Fairburn's brother, Petrus.  While she has followed her father’s instructions, Petrus ventures out at night to do some secret prospecting, but is seen by a farm labourer.  In the meantime Gloria Fairburn meets and falls in love with Louis Martino, who is employed by a nearby diamond mine.  Louis finds out about Petrus’s plot and is determined to stop him.  Instead Petrus, in league with the mine manager and a shady lawyer, succeeds in manoeuvring his sister and her family off the farm.  Eventually diamonds are found, but Louis points out that as Petrus prospected without the permission of the owners, he cannot claim discoverer’s rights.  With the connivance of the mine manager, Louis is framed for illicit diamond buying, but eventually the villains get their just deserts.

-With a running time of more than an hour, '''Gloria''' can be regarded as South Africa’s first feature film.  Based on the novel ''Gloria: a Girl of the South African Veld'' by [[Charlotte Mansfield]] (1881-1936), it had a script by [[Harold M. Shaw]], who had arrived in South Africa only a few months previously, and was directed by his fellow-American [[Lorimer Johnston]].  The title role was played by [[Mabel May]], the wife of producer [[I.W. Schlesinger]], with [[Frank Cellier]] as the hero and [[M.R. Morand]] as the villain both borrowed from the [[Ethel Irving]] theatre company, which was then performing at the [[Palladium Theatre]] in Johannesburg.  Mrs. Fairburn was played by [[Mabel Rushton]], the wife of [[J.
