PANCHO VILLA'S ARRANGEMENT WITH THE MUTUAL FILM COMPANY: "In January 1914, Pancho Villa became Hollywood's first Mexican superstar when he signed an exclusive contract with the Mutual Film Corporation. In return for $25,000, he agreed to keep other film companies from his battlefield, to fight in daylight whenever possible, and to reconstruct battles if the footage needed reshooting. "Now the subject of an HBO film starring Antonio Banderas (And Starring Pancho Villa as Himself), Villa is one of the main protagonists in Margarita de Orellana's vivid account of the American movie industry's fascination with the events of the Mexican Revolution. "Through memoir accounts, newspaper reports, and analysis of the films themselves, "Filming Pancho" reveals much about how Mexico was constructed in the American imagination and how the film images reinforced and justified American expansionism and racial and social prejudices." --From a description, on Amazon, of a documentary movie of Hollywood's treatment of the Mexican Revolution. (The DVD is available for purchase from various Amazon vendors.)

LOC -- You have misspelled the name Gonzalez in your title. Was Gonzalez actually a General?

Info about Abraham Gonzalez, from Wikipedia: "Villa's hatred of ['usurper' Mexican Presidente] Huerta became more personal and intense after March 7, 1913, when Huerta ordered the murder of Villa's political mentor, Abraham González, who had worked with Madero and Villa since 1910. González had been one of Madero's political advisors. He recruited Francisco Villa in 1910 to support Madero with the Plan de San Luis which started the first part of the Mexican Revolution with the armed movement of 20 November 1910. The Plan de San Luis was conceived to force Dictator Porfirio Diaz (Mexican president for 33 years) to leave the presidency and allow for a Mexican democracy.[3] Villa later recovered González's remains and gave his friend a proper funeral in Chihuahua."

Wystan: thank you for catching the typo in the title, the copyright notice by the Mutual Film Co, and for the additional information on Gonzalez. We will add it to the record when we update the database.

que increible fotografia, demasiada gente, tambien eran elecciones?

my great grand father was Colin Scrimgeour (uncle scrim). He was a friend and political follower of Michael Savage. I bet all my dollars that Savage was killed by Fraser's people. The moment Savage died my great grand father was exiled from New Zealand by Fraser. he was a great man as great as Savage himself but you can't find much information on him despite everything he tried to do for the people. Corrupt government much? they jammed his damn radio signals in 35 on the eve of the election!! AND ruined his credibility and cost him his creation "Associated TV" which he started when he was exiled to Australia. associated tv is now Chanel Ten and stuff here in Australia. My heart goes out to Savage and all those that are his descendants. There were big plans for that country to make it for the people. Savage built his own house with his bare hands! A real man.

This is from the 1914 tranche and must have been misfiled.
