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

Con la llegada del Circo a Nueva York, estamos rodeados de fenómenos (aparte de los meteorológicos que son de suyo bastante impertinentes) y enumeramos, arriba, a la izquierda, a la mujer más fea del mundo (según unos), Marian Bevans, inglesa y del brazo de un guapo mozo, por la Quinta Avenida, en Pascuas. La de los zapatos agujereados es Alma Cummins que ganó (temporalmente) el récord de baile continuo del mundo, danzando durante 27 horas seguidas, con detrimento del calzado. En el centro, un alemán que se llama Lionel y a quien le sobra pelo por todas partes. Abajo, vestido de mujer, un tal Tommy Woods cn compañía de la diminuta Crystal Keats, que tomó parte en una manifestación floral infantil. La última fotografía muestra a una “chofera”, o como se llamen, de las que ahora operan algunos de los taxímetros neoyorquinos. Mayo, 1923 «— —> PÁGINA 277
