Cine Mexicano Features ‘Dos Tipos de Cuidado’ and Special Guest Mariachi Sol de Mi Tierra
Join the Northside Arts Collaborative and MCA Denver Sunday, June 9, 2 p.m., at the Holiday Theatre (2644 W. 32nd Ave.) for a screening of the 1953 romantic comedy “Dos Tipos de Cuidado” starring iconic movie idols Pedro Infante and Jorge Negrete. The Spanish-language ranchera comedy, emphasizing mariachi and ranchera music, will run with English subtitles.
Throughout the 1950s, ’60s and ’70s, the Holiday Theater screened Spanish-language movies from Mexico’s Epoca de Oro, or Golden Age of movies.
Concessions—tamales, burritos, conches, dulces and Jarritos—will be sold at prices from “back in the day” and Mariachi Sol de Mi Tierra will perform prior to the screening.
Chicano Humanities and Arts Council (CHAC), Colorado Alliance of Latino Mentors and Authors (CALMA), El Centro Su Teatro, Museo de las Américas and Mexican Cultural Center will be on-hand to share about their services.
