Francisco Villa (Part 5)
Dated: August 24, 2007.
Hi:
Send you more pictures about Villa. In his time, prompty Villa was famous. After the conquest of Ciudad Juarez in 1911, his exploits to attract the attention by the film studios of Hollywod. Villa singned a contract with the ¨Mutual Film Company¨. In this work, I purpose to recreate the filming of some scenes of a true film to be entitled ¨Life of General Villa¨, directed by William Christy Cabanne. Among the actors, Raoul Walsh as young Villa. Pancho Villa himself taking part in some scenes, as senior Villa. The film was to premiere in the Lyric Theater of New York in 1914. To watch the pictures: the cine camera to make with eraser and wire. The truck are a useful toy. The gun and limber are by Hat German Artillery box
Cheers . un saludo y hasta otra.
