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

Para demostrar que no sólo en patines se luce, sino también en la pista de tennis, Sonja Henie, estrella de la 20th Century Fox, espera la pelota con la sonrisa en los labios. —Pues no fueron pocos los productores que se lo propusieron, pero, por unas razones o por otras, seguía en espera... . Jack H. Skirball, presidente de la Arcadia Pictures Corporation, nueva compañía cinematográfica, ha sido el afortunado padrino de Margo en Hollywood. —Hay que celebrar este verdadero día de gloria para el Cine Hispano, tan necesitado de una estrella de la categoría y personalidad de esta Margo adorable. La gran artista mejicana estaba obligada a trabajar en espanol. Y ya que no pudo ser en Méjico, como ella queria, ni en ningún otro país hispano, puso para ello una condición: que su primer papel fuera el de una mejicana. .. . ¿No fué asi? —Asi fué. Una mejicana. La obra elegida se titula “El milagro de la calle Main” y es original de Frederick Jackson, hispanófilo que ha tenido el acierto de escribir un buen drama, cuya acción situó en una típica barriada mejicana de Los Angeles. .. . Y con Margo actúan, en la versión española, que es la que nos interesa, Arturo de Córdoba, José Crespo, Carlos Villarías, Pilar Arcos, Tana, Luis Alberni, Carmen Morales, Robina Duarte y otros artistas de los que más se distinguen actualmente en Hollywood. El diálogo en español lo escribió Enrique Uhthoff y la Las candidatas al coro de “Man About Town" desfilan en los talleres de Paramount ante el jurado que encabezan el primer actor de la cinta, Jack Benny, y el director artístico George Petty.
