Description

Esteban Candelaria and Marta Park dance the caballito blanco at the July 1933 performance of "El Aguila." The play featured traditional dances, music, and costumes in a courtyard setting. Marta poses with one hand in the air and another on her hip as she gazes at Esteban cast member dressed in a mariachi uniform with a large sombrero. In the early 1990s, Steve Candelaria and Margaret Park Romero reunited at an Inland Mexican Heritage event 70 years later. Although living in the same town, the dancers had not seen one another since performing in the 1930s.
