Matilda Fernández, stage name Fontaine La Rue (Los Angeles, December 2, 1897(or possibly 1879) – November 20, 1976) was a Mexican American silent film actress appearing in films from 1915 to 1929. Her career ended with the advent of talkies. Presumably her exotic sounding French name was used to get her classier roles in films. Notably she appeared in the now lost film, A Blind Bargain with Lon Chaney.

Dora and her father are lost in the kitchen (they have just fired their cook). An ad for new one in the newspaper attracts two crooks (one of which is Fritz Schade). He dresses like a woman to apply for the job. At his first opportunity he plans to loot the house, but just then, a cop on the beat stops in for coffee. Fritz locks the cop in the basement, picks up what things of value he can and escapes. He and his pal drive off in a Model T. Along the way Dora is kidnapped, the Keystone Cops give chase and all ends well in the end.
