Emile, things were so rough for Mexicans in Hollywood
in the 20's thru the 50's, that Mexicans were not
given jobs on the sets, but they were not even allowed
on the grounds!  So for anyone of us to make in
Hollywood at that time, we had to be great and
cunning. That only shows you who are God's chosen
people; but we still have a long ways to go.

Alberto,
 
My husband Tony was the great-grandson of guero espanol-mexicanos from Jalisco who did well after settling in El Paso after 1895. They owned grocery stores, butcher shops, taxi companies, bakeries and auto repair shops.  Had his parents not divorced, he would still be there attending Catholic schools and colleges, like his cousins who have remained there to this day and are teachers and engineers, etc.  Only his great-great-grandfather, his second wife, and one son moved to Los Angeles in 1930.  Tony tells me that his life in El Paso was great.  He lived like a little prince, and all that came to an end when his mother became a single mom with three kids in Northern California.
 
Yes, lots of families moved to California in the twenties, thirties and forties and after after the war.(WWII)  My father who had immigrated from Jerez, Zac. moved us from our farm in Colorado to Northern California (San Jose) in 1947 where he could work as a welder for Westinghouse and make good money. 
 
I think Tony told me that his father, Enrique Garcia, had known Anthony Quinn and Gilbert Roland (that wasn't his real name) back in the 1920's in El Paso and Juarez right before those guys came to California.  Those two actors started out in silent films and met with lots of prejudice at times, but they persevered.  I told Tony that he and his brother could have been movie stars too, since they were tall and better looking than any of those others who have made it in the entertainment world, ha, ha.  Yes, one just needs the right environment and the luck and help from the right sources in order to succeed.

We lived in a one room apartment near Washington Park,
across the street from St. Xavier Catholic church.
The apartment was a dump (dirt floors) with the
bathroom aside shared with other tenants. We were a
very poor family, there were six of us counting my
grandmother.

El Paso at that time offered zero opportunities for
Mexican-Americans, so my dad moved all of us the Los
Angeles. There were many families from El Paso that
moved to Los Angeles back in the early '40s, including
one by the name of Antony Quinn who later won a couple
of Oscars-you see, we can make it if only given the
opportunity.

Where did you live in El Paso at that time? I lived across from Sacred Heart Church and School for the first 8 years of my life. As a kid, I hated going across the border because it was so unfamiliar to be and because of all the noise, the exotic odors, the beggars, and the language. I was always afraid, although no one would have harmed me but that's how I was then. Now, I can appreciate everything about it, including the interesting architecture. Marge:)

Good and sad times:
We also went to the Marcado in Juarez back in the
early '50s.  My mom would buy dry goods which were
really expensive for us to buy in the United States
(Los Angeles).  Would you believe that we also
purchased young parrots and smuggled them across to El
Paso!  Later on this turned out to be a sad
remembrance for me, when I found out that thousands,
maybe millions, of the these beautiful birds were
wiped out of the rain forests in Mexico, just because
of greed and ignorance.

When I was a kid, we would cross the border into Juarez with my aunts and mother to go shopping at the Mercado, and one of the merchants had a display of pinole. It was sold in paper cones--sometimes piñata-type paper and sometimes newspaper. I liked it...didn't get it too often, though. Marge:)

Sorry didn't use accents even after the flood of emails on the subject.  My

engineer and architect cousins from Mexico D.F. don't either in their

letters to me. When asked about this, they responded that they knew how to

pronounce the words without the accents, etc.,

Subject: [ranchos] Pinole



Talking about food...

I wonder how many of our members have heard of "Pinole" ? Pinole is a high

energy food made from dry roasted corn ground-up and mixed with brown sugar

(Piloncillo, o panocha) and cinnamon and sometimes either lemon or orange

peel for flavoring. The Tarahumara indians of Chihuahua use it as a staple

food. Tarahumaras are basically vegetarians, with meat accounting for about

less than 10% of their diet. They eat Pinole it or drink it ( can be mixed

with water or ? ) before they run the ultra marathons.  Pinole is a very

convinient high energy food because in its powder form can keep for months.

It is carried in a pouch during long trips and is used to sometimes replace

whole meals. The Tarahumaras are universally known as runners. Tarahumaras

have run the 100 mile marathon from Nevada to California.  They think

nothing of running 50 miles or more to go visit friends or relatives in a

distant village.  When was the last time you did that!

They hunt by running animals until the animal gets tired and gives up. That

includes deer, rabbits and whatever animal they choose to chase.

Pinole is very sweet and very tasty. Try it, next time you go to Mexico, or

better yet, make your own! In Mexico it is sold at just about any grocery

store, kids love it, just make sure you plan a high energy activity for

them. If you are runner or into high energy sports, you should give it a

try.
