Description:
Description (English): Cine-Mundial, the Spanish-language version of Moving Picture World, was published between 1916 and 1948. The magazine documents Hollywood’s growing dominance in Latin American markets in the 1920s and the emergence of national film industries, such as those of Mexico and Argentina after the introduction of sound film. Far from being a mere translation of its English-language counterpart, Cine-Mundial focused on issues that were important to its readers in Latin American and Spain—the representation of Latin Americans on screen, the geo-politics of film distribution, and Hollywood’s short foray into Spanish-language film production in the late 1920 and early 1930s. Functioning as both trade publication and fan magazine, its regular columns that featured reports from national correspondents and letters from readers from every corner of the Spanish-speaking world provides invaluable insight into Latin American audiences and their reception of both imported and nationally or regionally produced films. -- Laura Isabel Serna, 2013

Mr a Rh ea ni ENERO, 19 CINE-MUNDIAL É > NTRE los que desconocen las interioridades del cinematógrafo existe la o creencia de que basta con saber seleccionar caras bonitas y cuerpos bien formados para reunir un elenco que llame la atención. Pero el asunto es bastante más escabroso de lo que parece, y de ello tenemos una prueba evidente en los múltiples fracasos que se registran todos los años. Si ya es tarea difícil encontrar muchachas de talento que tengan a la vez el desparpajo y la habilidad suficientes para interpretar papeles ante el objetivo, cuánto más no lo será dar con “material” que, además de reunir todas esas condiciones, tenga facciones hermo sas y Cuerpos admirablemente torneados, al estilo de los que adornan estas páginas. De aquí que a Mack Sennett, que en este campo no tiene rival, le hayan salido muy pocos competidores. Sus “bañistas”, bajo cuyo nombre se conocen en todas partes del mundo las treinta o cuarenta chicas que salpican de sal sus producciones, revolucionaron el sistema de hacer cintas cómicas no sólo en este país, sino en el extranjero; mas el hecho de que todas sean guapas no significa que el éxito que alcanzan se deba exclusivamente a su belleza. Mabel Normand es una mujer guapa, no hay duda alguna. Fué, por añadidura, “bañista” anónima en las huestes de Mack Sennett. Pero el lugar que se ha conquistado en to to A AT TAS £z > PáciNA 12
