Book Description
Excerpt from The Picture of Las Cruces a Romance of Mexico There would be no difficulty in that, replied the other, quickly. Good faith once assured - and you will pardon me that I mention what is of essen tial importance in all business arrangements - I could convince you by such ocular demonstration as no painter would think of questioning. In that case, we will talk of the matter further, said Ingraham, as he began to put away his canvas and close up his trap. Perhaps you will do me the honour to take dinner with me at my hotel, when we can more fully discuss the subject. Here is my card.

Book Description
The first projected moving pictures were shown in Las Cruces 110 years ago. Who exhibited those movies? What movies were shown? Since projected moving pictures were invented in 1896, why did it take ten years for the first movie exhibition to reach Las Cruces? Who opened the first theater in town? Where was it located? These questions began the history of moving pictures in Las Cruces, and they are answered in this book. But so are the events and stories that follow. First movie shown in Las Cruces First theater in Las Cruces First talkie shown in Las Cruces Invention of drive-in theater in Las Cruces Opening of Rio Grande Theater Impact of Great Depression on business Raffle of six-week-old baby girl at Mission Theater World premiere of first BILLY THE KID movie Second world premiere of a BILLY THE KID movie Arrival of Organ, Rocket, Fiesta, and Aggie Drive-Ins Shooting of Clint Eastwood's HANG 'EM HIGH There have been 21 movie theaters in Las Cruces - all but three or four are forgotten. They are unremembered no longer. And one, especially, the Airdome Theater which opened in 1914, deserves to be known by all movie historians - it was an automobile drive-in theater, the invention of the concept, two decades before movie history declares the drive-in was invented. To supplement this history are 102 photos and illustrations. These include ephemeral documents such as the 4-page flyer for Las Cruces' third movie exhibition, at the Rink Theater; historic photos of theaters; aerial photos of drive-ins; and never-before-published photos of the shooting of HANG 'EM HIGH. Cover: Depicts the 1930 world premiere of BILLY THE KID, starring John Mack Brown as Billy, at the Rio Grande Theater in Las Cruces.

Book Description
The city of Las Cruces, situated under blue skies in the Chihuahuan desert, boasts a wealth of Native American and Wild West history. As New Mexico's second largest city, it is a modern metropolis that has held fast to its picturesque past. Spanish explorers arrived in the 1500s in search of the Seven Cities of Gold, and after the United States conquered the territory, the area became a transportation hub, blossoming from its adobe beginnings into a permanent, important city. The photographs contained in this volume tell the unique story of this town of contrasts, where historic plazas sit next to modern office buildings and subdivisions sprawl alongside old Indian trails. Many of the original buildings are now restaurants, galleries, and shops, but here readers see them as they once stood, making this book a fascinating reference for those familiar with the city or exploring it for the first time.
