The former residence of 1930s Hollywood actor José Mojica in Santa Monica will play host to a celebration of the life and career of the famed film star, opera singer and friar. The events planned include lectures in English and Spanish by historian John Koegel and archivist Alejandra Espasande, a photographic exhibition, a tour of the Mojica Hacienda’s botanical gardens, and the screening of the rarely seen Hollywood Spanish-language 1933 feature film El Rey de los Gitanos (The King of the Gypsies), presented with English subtitles.
