Little Mexico was Dallas's earliest Mexican barrio. "Mexicanos" had
lived in Dallas since the mid-19th century. The social displacement
created by the Mexican Revolution of 1910, however, caused the
emergence of a distinct and vibrant neighborhood on the edge of the
city's downtown. This neighborhood consisted of modest homes, small
businesses, churches, and schools, and further immigration from
Mexico in the 1920s caused its population to boom. By the 1930s,
Little Mexico's population had grown to over 15,000 people. The
expanding city's construction projects, urban renewal plans, and
land speculation by developers gradually began to dismantle Little
Mexico. By the end of the 20th century, Little Mexico had all but
disappeared, giving way to upscale high-rise residences and hotels,
office towers of steel and glass, and the city's newest
entertainment district. This book looks at Little Mexico's growth,
zenith, demise, and its remarkable renaissance as a neighborhood.

Three classic films starring comedy duo Stan Laurel and Oliver
Hardy. In 'The Dancing Masters' (1943), Stan (Laurel) and Ollie
(Hardy) are owners of a dance school, but are evicted for
non-payment of rent. To raise money, Ollie tries an insurance scam
which involves inflicting injuries on Stan, but the inept pair soon
find themselves mixed up with local gangsters. Watch out for
appearances by long-running Marx Brothers' foil Margaret Dumont and
a youthful Robert Mitchum. In 'A-haunting We Will Go' (1942),
Laurel and Hardy unknowingly offer to help a bunch of crooks
smuggle a wanted man past the police in a coffin. Unfortunately,
the casket gets mixed up with one used by a stage musician, leading
to a comic chase. Finally, in 'The Bullfighters' (1945), Stan and
Ollie are two detectives looking for a female criminal in Mexico.
Stan gets mistaken for a famous matador and is forced to show his
prowess in the bullring.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
