Adjusting the Focus: Padua Hills Theatre and Latino History.
Garcia, Matt
OAH Magazine of History, v10 n2 p19-22 Win 1996
Reveals an interesting and overlooked chapter in Hispanic cultural history. The Claremont, California, Padua Hills Theater presented Spanish-language, Mexican-theme musicals to a mostly white audience from 1931 to 1974. Although it presented romantic, and occasionally stereotypical views of Mexican American life, the theater deserves recognition. (MJP)
