The History of Zorro Johnston McCulley first brought Zorro to life in a 1919 pulp fiction serial. Inspired by McCulley’s Zorro, silent film star Douglas Fairbanks became the silver screen’s first swashbuckling action hero portraying ZORRO in the 1920 film, The Mark of Zorro. In 1925, Douglas Fairbanks returned to star in the sequel to The Mark of Zorro, Don Q, Son of Zorro. McCulley continued writing more than 60 stories featuring his masked hero, Zorro, over the next 40 years. Throughout the 1930’s and 40’s, ZORRO captured the imagination of audiences as he fought for justice in the Republic Studios serials. Tyrone Power became the next truly iconic silver screen Zorro, following in Fairbanks’ footsteps, when 20th Century Fox remade The Mark of Zorro in 1940. In 1957, Disney’s ZORRO television series premiered, starring Guy Williams and became a worldwide sensation. In the early 1960’s, Zorro character was adopted by the expanding Italian film industry. The masked hero also appeared in Mexican, Spanish, French and Belgian productions. The wave of international Zorro film productions reached its peak in 1974, with the release of the Italian/French production of ZORRO, starring Alain Delon. Zorro entered the 1990’s with 88 episodes of the New World television series starring Duncan Regher as the masked hero. The 1998 blockbuster The Mask of Zorro starred Antonio Banderas, Anthony Hopkins and introduced Catherine Zeta-Jones. The film grossed $250m worldwide. A sequel, The Legend of Zorro premiered October 30, 2005. ZORRO FEATURE FILMS IN DEVELOPMENT!

8 Redefining Zorro: Hispanicising the Swashbuckling Hero
Redefining Zorro: Hispanicising the Swashbuckling Hero Victoria Kearley Introduction Such did the theatrical trailer for The Mask of Zorro (Campbell, 1998) proclaim of Antonio Banderas’s performance as the masked adventurer, promising the viewer a sexier and more daring vision of Zorro than they had ever seen before. This paper considers this new image of Zorro and the way in which an iconic figure of modern popular culture was redefined through the performance of Banderas, and the influence of his contemporary star persona, as he became the first Hispanic actor ever to play Zorro in a major Hollywood production. It is my argument that Banderas’s Zorro, transformed from bandit Alejandro Murrieta into the masked hero over the course of the film’s narrative, is necessarily altered from previous incarnations in line with existing Hollywood images of Hispanic masculinity when he is played by a Hispanic actor. I will begin with a short introduction to the screen history of Zorro as a character and outline the action- adventure hero archetype of which he is a prime example. The main body of my argument is organised around a discussion of the employment of three of Hollywood’s most prevalent and enduring Hispanic male types, as defined by Latino film scholar, Charles Ramirez Berg, before concluding with a consideration of how these ultimately serve to redefine the character. Who is Zorro? Zorro was originally created by pulp fiction writer, Johnston McCulley, in 1919 and first immortalised on screen by Douglas Fairbanks in The Mark of Zorro (Niblo, 1920) just a year later.

The American Dahlia Society – the Second 50 Years
THE AMERICAN DAHLIA SOCIETY The Second 50 Years. "To stimulate interest in, and promote the culture and development of the Dahlia." CoMPILED BY HARRY R1.,,-o 1 Copyright© 2015 by The American Dahlia Society All rights reserved. No part of this publication may be reproduced or transmitted in any form or by any means, without permission from The American Dahlia Society. ISBN 978-0-692-52512-8 First addition, Parrot Press 2 Introduction In the beginning there was The Golden Year Dahlia Record, published in 1964, in anticipation of the AD S's Golden Anniversary in 1965. At 52 over-size pages, the publication by Lynn Dudley is a master piece of history, insight, and entertainment. When I first took on the assignment of organizing The American Dahlia Society the Second Fifty Years, I conceived a parallel publication in the same format. As the months went along, I concluded that I am not Lynn Dudley, and sequels usually disappoint. In looking for a different direction, I discovered that there was a wealth of history, insight and entertain ment in the last 50 years of the ADS Bulletins. The stories of the American Dahlia Society, the dahlia and the dahlia's people were right there. From that point forward, this publication virtually wrote itself. It is organized by year. There are no long lists or es says. Rather it is a buffet of tidbits-dim sum or tapas--of information that presents the ADS, the flower, and its people for your enjoyment. It is not intended to be read in one sitting, but rather, like an almanac to be visited from time to time.

New Orleans Nostalgia "Zorro Rides Again" Ned Hémard Copyright 2007
N EW ORLEANS NOSTALGIA Remembering New Orleans History, Culture and Traditions By Ned Hémard Zorro Rides Again In 1937, New Orleans became the first city in the United States to be provided funding under the Wagner Act. Contracts for the St. Thomas and Magnolia housing projects were the first signed by FDR under Senator Robert Wagner’s legislation, and with it the Housing Authority of New Orleans (HANO) was created. A young LBJ was one of the principal authors of the Housing Act of 1937, and he saw to it that the first three grants were announced in alphabetical order (with Austin being mentioned before New Orleans and New York). Also that year, New Orleans saw the founding of a new carnival organization, the Knights of Hermes (which continues to charm the city with its annual parade). Hermes, HANO and housing were the talk of the town, and Hitler was the talk of the nation. For those who wanted some form of escapism, there was always the local movie house. Among numerous neighborhood theatres, there was the Bell, the Cortez, the Casino and the Carrollton (which had been rebuilt the year before). Or perhaps one visited the Imperial on Hagan Avenue (Jefferson Davis Parkway today) followed by a stop at the Parkway Bakery (also on Hagan … then as today). 1937 produced great films like Frank Capra’s “Lost Horizon”, the Marx Brothers in “A Day at the Races”, “Stella Dallas”, “Topper” and “The Awful Truth”. In addition to these classics were the serial Westerns from Republic, and 1937’s “Zorro Rides Again” was one of these twelve-chapter runs.
