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

CINE-MUNDIAL EL SECRETO PT D AJE DE LUCAM Por Miguel de Zárraga A COQUETONA residencia de Myrrha | Alhambra en Riverside tiene algo de templo. Cuando el raudo ascensor nos| deja ante su puerta y oprimimos el di minuto timbre, experimentamos esa profunda sensación sólo sentida frente a algún inquietante misterio que osamos descubrir. El misterio) que envuelve a Myrrha Alhambra es un misterio del Arte: el Arte mültiple de una mujer encan-| tadora que es una gran actriz y es una gran pianista, y es, ante todo y sobre todo, una gran dama... Una gran dama de principesca estirpe que ha sabido encontrar en el Arte, como. legítimo patrimonio de su alma, la aristocracia! excelsa de los espíritus selectos. Una doncellita francesa, amable y sonriente,| nos conduce al saloncillo de estudio de la ar-| tista. Sobre el piano, y en un bello marco de platino, un retrato en el que se lee: *A Myrrha Alhambra, la ideal María de El mido ajeno, Ja-j cinto Benavente". En las paredes algunos valiosos cuadros, y entre ellos uno de Zuloaga que representa a la adorable Consolación de “El genio alegre”. : 3 No tarda en aparecer ante nosotros Myrrha. Alhambra. Sus manos liliales, tenues, sedosas, (Continúa en la página 546) Myrrha Alhambra, que sobre los tablados neoyorquiws nos ha plantado el estandarte del teatro español, en Y el traje de luces en que, por otras $ tierras, paseó su gallardía de i manola y toreó de veras, no sin graves sustos que estuvieron a punto de costarle la vida y que, por otra parte, cortaron su carrera en el cine-torero.—Al ver su sonrisa tranquila y sus ojos en que asoma sólo la luz de la juventud regocijada, nadie creería que la joven hubiera tratado de emular las hazafias de Joselito frente a formidables astados y jugádose la vida en los azares de uma corrida de toros en que, por no faltar nada, no faltó el consabido “hule” de las grandes tragedias del circo.
