PANCHO VILLA PRODUCED HIS FILM THE LIFE OF VILLA 1912 http://www.biographcompany.com/celebrity/villa.html ......... In 1910 famed director D. W. Griffith discovered a great "Little village" to shoot many of the Biograph films. The weather was great and it had room to grow. He shot a film "In Old California" there; the first time a movie was ever shot in this village. This village was known as Hollywood. The pioneers at Biograph turned Hollywood from a small farming town to the movie and entertainment capital of the world. Hollywood's First Movie Has Monument Once AgainThe mystery of the missing monument comes to a happy endingThe American Mutoscope and Biograph Company announce the restoration and re-dedication of the monument commemorating the first movie in Hollywood, "In Old California" produced by Biograph in 1910. The film was a Latino melodrama depicting life in 1840's Mexico-occupied California.
The monument was dedicated in May 2004, but less than a year later the three-ton monument disappeared overnight, being found several months later near a garbage dumpster in Hollywood. Since then the monument has been stored by Biograph until arrangements could be made for a re-dedication.
Biograph is the oldest movie company in America, established in 1895. "In Old California" was made in 1910 by Biograph, three years prior to the movie the "Squaw Man" made by Cecil B. DeMille. It was significant because of it being Hollywood's first film, and the subject matter was about the Hispanic settlers in California. The film was directed by movie pioneer D. W. Griffith (pictured), who was location scouting from New York for Biograph.
He discovered this lovely village with beautiful scenery, flower gardens and friendly people, and decided to film many of Biograph's films there, this one being the first.
Since the monuments first dedication, two of Biograph's "Family" passed away. Maryellen Sennett/VP who was western actress and singer in the 1940's and Tommy Bond Sr./VP, actor who was "Butch" on the "Little Rascals" and "Jimmy Olsen" in the original "Superman" serials. Both of which were the aunt and father of Biograph's President/CEO Thomas R. Bond, II.
Biograph's CEO Thomas Bond II says "The re-dedication will now have added meaning since my aunt and father have since passed away." Bond continues, "Many good people put a lot of hard work so this historic film's monument, that this film would finally be recognized. The film's impact on Hollywood and its multi-cultural theme bridges time. It was significant not just being Hollywood's first film, but the subject matter is about the Latinos in early in California".
The re-dedication is scheduled for 2010 on the 100th anniversary of the making of the film at a non-disclosed location in Hollywood, later to be announced by the company. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5156569 Listen DURANGUENSE MEXICO MEETS THE MIDWEST By Melissa Giraud : Film by Paul Renteria Actor PANCHO VILLA LAST SON : Ernesto Nava Villa Congratulation's, on Award for Film "LINK TO THE PAST" (Spring) 2010 Merit Winners ATAT AT THE: LOS ANGELES CINEMA FESTIVAL OF HOLLYWOOD

Jornadas Villistas 2008 DE principio a fin fueron custodiados por elementos de Seguridad Publica del Estado. ARRIBARON MÁS DE 3 MIL JINETES El Sol de Parral 20 de julio de 2008 Ricardo Sánchez
Parral, Chih.- Llegó la Cabalgata Villista, que en esta ocasión estuvo integrada con un número de jinetes superior al año anterior, con alrededor de 3 mil cabalgantes provenientes de distintas partes del estado; incluso del extranjero, así como de zonas serranas, ciudades como Chihuahua, Cuauhtémoc, Juárez y decenas de poblados.
Arribó luego de dos semanas de haberse iniciado en la fronteriza Ciudad Juárez, tras lo cual se vinieron agregando contingentes de diversos lugares; procediendo a un desfile por las principales calles, para culminar en las instalaciones de la mina La Prieta, el contingente siempre estuvo custodiado por agentes de Seguridad Publica del Estado y Municipales.
Finalmente llegó a su destino. En Ciudad Juárez arrancaron cerca de 150 jinetes, donde en el camino se fueron uniendo cabalgantes de distintos municipios del estado, del país e incluso personas del extranjero.
Superó las expectativas el evento, ya que en un principio se calculaban cerca de 2 mil 500 y al final del recorrido se contabilizaron más de 3 mil. Por lo que en esta ocasión se presenció la cabalgata más grande desde 1995, cuando se realizó por primera vez.
La novedad no sólo fue el número de caballos que ingresaron a la ciudad por el antiguo camino a Santa Rosa, sino que el recorrido no fue el mismo. Ahora cruzaron por la calle Flores Magón, en lugar de seguir hacia calles como la Zaragoza y 20 de Noviembre, sino que siguieron hasta la Libertad, calle del Rayo, Independencia, hasta llegar a la glorieta Pancho Villa.
Al tiempo que cientos de espectadores se aglomeraron en puntos como la plaza Guillermo Baca, en la estación del ferrocarril, la glorieta Pancho Villa, así como frente al templo San José y en la colonia Talleres.
El regreso fue por la misma Independencia, cruzando por atrás del templo de San José, hasta llegar la mina La Prieta, en este lugar la entrada fue encabezada por el licenciado José Salcido, fundador del magno evento.
Este personaje fue seguido por Las Adelitas, que portaban la bandera de México, donde participó la primera dama Nancy Gutiérrez de González; atrás ingresaron funcionarios, el presidente Oscar González Luna y el diputado federal César Duarte, así como varios regidores, el representante del Gobernador, Guillermo Márquez, secretario de Desarrollo municipal.
La cabalgata incluyó personalidades del ámbito político, empresarial, comerciantes y de las principales rancherías, no sólo de este municipio, sino de distintas partes del estado, así como mandatarios de otros municipios.
El contingente cada que llegaba a su destino en el estacionamiento de la mina La Prieta, se veía más grande, ya que no cesaban de entrar caballos a este lugar, el estacionamiento en un lapso de tres horas se inundó de cuadrúpedos, tripulados tanto por hombres como por mujeres.
De principio a fin fueron custodiados por elementos de Seguridad Publica del Estado, a bordo de motocicletas deportivas, así como oficiales de vialidad y policía de Seguridad Pública Municipal, tanto en unidades como en cuatrimotos.

Museo Francisco Villa
Cama donde fue velado el General Francisco Villa.
En el Museo Francisco Villa se encuentra la cama en la cual fue velado el General Francisco Villa el día 20 de julio por la tarde y hasta el día 21, en que partió el cortejo fúnebre rumbo al panteón de Dolores en el año de 1923.
La cama formaba parte del mobiliario del Hotel Hidalgo, propiedad que pertenecía al General, razón por la cual fue velado en ese lugar. El inmueble, posteriormente pasó a ser propiedad del sindicato de Mineros de la Sección 9 y es en ese período, en donde algunos de los muebles fueron adquiridos por la familia Benítez.
A partir del año de 1968 la familia Benítez es quien ha a aportado la mayoría de los objetos exhibidos; la cama formó parte del los objetos de la colección a partir del mes de julio del año 2000 y se puede apreciar en el piso superior del Museo. Autor: Olivia Holguín Villalobos

Check out PANCHO VILLA STATE PARK http://www.emnrd.state.nm.us/PRD/parksevent/calendar/Default.aspx Pancho Villa, so the saying goes, was "hated by thousands and loved by millions." He was a Robin Hood to many and a cruel, cold-blooded killer to others. But who was this colorful controversial hero of the Mexican Revolution and where did he come from?
Doroteo Arango, for that was Pancho Villa's real name, was born in the state of Durango in 1878, a share-cropper peasant on a hacienda. According to the legend, one day when he was sixteen, he returned home from the fields to find that his sister had been raped by the owner of the hacienda, Don Agustin Lopez Negrete. Doroteo took up his revolver, shot Don Agustin, and escaped into the mountains on a horse.
Today Villa is remembered with pride by most Mexicans for having led the most important military campaigns of the constitutionalist revolution, in which his troops were victorious as far south as Zacatecas and Mexico City, east as far as Tampico, and west as far as Casas Grandes. Because of Villa's Columbus escapade and subsequent evasion of U.S. troops, he is also often cited as the only foreign military personage ever to have "successfully" invaded continental U.S. territory.
He became a cattle rustler and later joined a band of rustlers that was led by a man named Francisco Pancho Villa. In one of their many skirmishes with the law, the group was surprised by a group of rurales (mounted police) and Francisco was killed. Doroteo then took command of the gang and also assumed the name of the fallen leader. He may have done this to throw off those who hunted him for the murder of the hacienda owner or he may have done this to insure his authority over the group. Anyway, from that time on it was he who was known as Francisco Pancho Villa.
Pancho Villa was a natural leader and was very successful as a bandit, . He was also involved in more legitimate ventures, including being a contractor on the Copper Canyon railroad.
In 1910, when the Mexican Revolution broke out, Villa was recruited by the revolutionary leader, Abraham Gonzalez. Villa put together an army of armed cowboys and ruffians and became the revolutionary general who led the war in the northern part of Mexico. His charisma and victories made him an idol of the masses.
In 1916, when an American merchant refused to deliver the arms to Villa's army which they had paid him for, Villa entered the United States and raided the town of Columbus, New Mexico. He was pursued by General Black Jack Pershing through the mountains of the State of Chihuahua. Pershing's pursuit of Villa ended in failure, causing him to telegraph back to Washington that Villa is everywhere, but Villa is nowhere.
The war ended in 1920, and many attempts were made on Villa's life . On July 20, 1923, while driving his car through the town on Parral, Chihuahua, he was assasinated.
THIS IS THE PLACE PANCHO VILLA WAS BORN.

. http://www.radiobilingue.org/ Oración al espíritu mártir de Pancho Villa:
En el nombre de Dios nuestro Señor invoco a los espíritus que te protejan para que me ayudes. Así como ayudaste en el mudo terrenal a los NECESITADOS. Así como venciste a los PODEROSOS. Así como hiciste retroceder a tus ENEMIGOS. Así te pido tu protecicion espiritual, para que me libres de todo mal y me des el ánimo necessario y el valor suficiente para enfrentarme a los más difícil que se me presente en la vida. Amen.
Pancho Villa in film. Not all Villa’s press in the United States was favorable. William Randolph Hearst, the media mogul of his day, also owned extensive cattle ranches in Chihuahua and Sonora. Villa financed his army through cattle sales – the cattle belonged to Hearst. Driven across the border into Arizona, the cattle were sold to small ranchers who didn’t ask questions, and didn’t like rich California newspaper owners either. In Hearst’s newspapers, Villa was nothing but a bloodthirsty bandit.
Hearst’s greatest rival was the New York Times. To the Times, Villa was a Mexican Robin Hood. George Carrothers, the Times reporter, was treated more as a foreign ambassador than a war correspondent. With good reason: Carrothers had a cousin named Woodrow Wilson: Villa was hardly the simple bandit chief he sometimes seemed. His staff included social reformers, anxious to try out new theories in Villa controlled territories, politically astute civilians, competent financial advisors, adventurers, military men (Villa paid his army regularly, and attracted willing soldiers and professional officers to his side), and more than a few cold-blooded killers. But what impressed Carrothers’ cousin Woodrow about Villa was that he was winning, and Wilson concluded someone – anyone – would run Mexico better than Huerta. And Wilson had seen the pictures of Villa in action. There had been battle photographers before 1910, but cameras were too bulky to carry. Most war photos were staged after the battle. Portable cameras, and movie cameras were available by the time the Mexican Revolution started. Also, there had been advances in printing, so photographs could now be printed in the newspapers. Finally, people had begun going to the movies. People were still amazed to see films of President Wilson taking a walk. A real battle was something only soldiers (and a few adventurous tourists – or unfortunate bystanders, like those in El Paso) ever saw. Raoul Walsh, a pioneering Hollywood film director, claimed he only wanted to bring the reality of war to the people. The closest battlefield to Hollywood was just across the border from Arizona, where Pancho Villa was attacking the Federal Army. Walsh found a cooperative Pancho Villa ready to help. Walsh’s The Life of Pancho Villa was one of Hollywood’s first international hit. Who used who is an open question, but Villa did become the world’s first film star.

. The resulting article that ran on the front page of the New York Tribune on Sunday, August 28, 1921 entitled "A Visit to Villa, A Bad Man Not So Bad" earned Treadwell international notoriety. Recognized for her expertise on the people and politics of Mexico, she would go on to write a series of articles on the topic of Mexican affairs. At that time Mexico was still reeling from a bloody Revolution that saw the ousting of the progressive but tyrannical regime of Porfirio Diaz and three more successive regimes. Treadwell's sympathetic treatment of Mexican affairs allowed her to access people and information that were unavailable to most. As a result, Sophie Treadwell brought to her readership enhanced understanding of important people and events in Mexico; most notably that of Francisco Villa. That an American woman received so much respect and was able to accomplish so much in a country which at the time was generally resentful of Americans as well as totally male dominated attests to the ambitiousness and cultural sensitivity of this noteworthy writer of fact and fiction.

Although the Mexican media was focused on the occupation of the nation's congressional tribunal April 10 by opposition legislators protesting the Calderon administration's proposed PEMEX oil company reform, other events of national significance unfolded on the 89th anniversary of the assassination of Mexican revolutionary leader Emiliano Zapata. Across rural and urban Mexico, farmers and their allies held protests, conducted highway blockades, convened meetings and staged marches to vent their anger over current agricultural and other policies.
"If we were to deliver a report to General Zapata today, we could say that poverty in the countryside continues, that migration to the US grows daily and that the agricultural branches of production are not profitable," said Federico Valle Vaquera, national director of the CIOAC rural advocacy organization.
Involving thousands of people, and encompassing political forces ranging from the revolutionary left to the centrist National Campesino Confederation, numerous activities were reported in the states of Chihuahua, Sonora, Durango, Guerrero, Veracruz, and Chiapas, among other places. In Chiapas, members of the National Struggle Front for Socialism blockaded an international bridge connecting Mexico to Guatemala.
In the border city of Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua, hundreds turned out for a march to protest the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), social security and energy reform initiatives, the Lomas de Poleo land conflict, and the presence of the Mexican army in the border city.
Ciudad Juarez's El Diario newspaper ran a photograph that showed a Mexican soldier with a camera allegedly snapping pictures of protestors and journalists from El Diario and TV Azteca.
Demonstrators also blasted last month's assassination of farm leader Armando Villareal Martha and the recent arrests of social activists Cipriana Jurado and Carlos Chavez. Attending the event, Jurado reported that charges against her for allegedly participating in the blockade of an international bridge in Ciudad Juarez in 2005 had been dropped.
While Zapata anniversary protests are nothing new in Mexico, a noteworthy development in this year's actions was thelinkage between agricultural, water and energy issues. In the northern border state of Sonora, for instance, forty farmers blockaded the state office of the federal Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries to protest what they said were excessive electricity and water rates. In the coffee-producing highlands of Veracruz, an estimated 500 growers demanded $150 million in government subsidies as an answer to 80 percent price hikes for petrochemical-based fertilizers.
Soaring fertilizer prices also prompted farmers in Guerrero to seize state and federal agricultural agency offices and blockade for one hour the Highway of the Sun that connects Mexico City to the tourist resort of Acapulco.
Small growers in the indigenous La Montana region of Guerrero have complained of fertilizer price hikes in the neighborhood of 200 to 300 percent in recent months. Schooled in the practices of the Green Revolution, most Mexican farmers still rely on petrochemical-based fertilizers to grow their crops.
Agriculture and energy was a theme picked up by Mexican Agriculture Minister Alberto Cardenas yesterday. Speaking at an official Zapata anniversary ceremony in the state of Morelos, Cardenas implied a direct relationship between improvement in the rural economy and passage of the Calderon Administration's controversial energy reform package in the Mexican Congress.
"(Rural Mexico) can't be removed from the issues related to the energy reform," Cardenas said. "We can't bet on populism or on deceit," Cardenas added in an indirect poke at opposition leader Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador's movement against the privatization PEMEX.
In recent weeks, the heated debate over PEMEX has diverted public attention away from Mexico's ongoing rural crisis, which resurfaced as a pressing national issue in the wake of the mass farmer protests against NAFTA earlier this year. Negotiations between farm groups and the Calderon Administration have since broken down. To the chagrin of many farmers, Calderon administration officials insist that renegotiating NAFTA is off the table. Consequently, more rural protests are almost certain in the weeks and months ahead. It remains to be seen to what degree the anti-NAFTA movement will coalesce with the campaign against the privatization of PEMEX.

En el nombre de Dios nuestro Señor invoco a los espíritus que te protejan para que me ayudes.
Así como ayudaste en el mudo terrenal a los NECESITADOS.
Así como venciste a los PODEROSOS.
Así como hiciste retroceder a tus ENEMIGOS.
Así te pido tu protecicion espiritual, para que me libres de todo mal y me des el ánimo necessario y el valor suficiente para enfrentarme a los más difícil que se me presente en la vida.
Amen.
