SUMMARY:Book Signing by Rogelio Agrasanchez\, Jr.
DESCRIPTION:Book signing by Rogelio Agrasanchez\, Jr. presenting his new book Guillermo Calles\; A Biography of the Actor and Mexican Cinema Pioneer.  In 1912\, Guillermo Calles (1893-1958) became the first Mexican actor to appear in films made in California. Despite limited resources\, he began directing and producing his own movies\, and in 1929 pioneered production of Spanish-language sound films. His major works\, among them the long-unavailable El indio yaqui and Raza de Bronce (both 1927)\, representing Calles' tireless crusade to restore the image of Mexicans and Indians in an era dominated by Hollywood stereotypes.  This biography traces Calles' career from his earliest Hollywood days through the 1950's. Included are the only surviving images of the filmmaker's silent productions\, a closing commentary on his intimate circle of relatives\, and an appendix featuring two fascinating letters written by Calles during a filming trip.  For further details\, visit AFHAC.org.  Sponsored by the Hispanic Geneology Society.
