Cine El Rey Theatre
When Cine El Rey Theatre opened in 1947, locals hailed it as “el evento del año” (“the event of the year”). After World War II, the Bracero program brought a new generation of Mexican-born citizens to the United States—citizens who were often turned away at movie theaters, or at least ushered to segregated sections. The Cine El Rey Theatre, however, was built specifically for a Hispanic audience. Serendipitously, it’s early years also coincided with a period that many today consider Mexico’s Golden Age of Cinema. But films weren’t the only things to draw crowds in. Some of Mexico’s greatest performers made personal appearances on stage.
