Bull Fights In Mexico Make No Money,
So Law Against Them Is Now Observed

Two Champions in the Realm f
of extraordinary Cinema Art.,

Bullfights, bootlegged or other-
wise, are practically unknown in
Mexico now.r
There has not been a legal bull- !
fight in Oaxaca City or State forj
about three quarters of a century,1
and the people have become so in-
different to, bullfighting, and so
ignorant of it, that efforts to vio-
late the law have practically ceased.
Oaxaca is the only city in Mex-
ico without a bullring. The State
is the only one in the Republic
with a law prohibiting bullfighting.
Benito Juarez, the George Wash-
ington of Mexico, had that law
'passed when he was Governor of
Oaxaca, his native state, about
eighty years ago. He hated bull-
fighting and he enforced the law.
Now generations grew up which
did not miss bullfights because they
had neveir seen any. It was as
natural to them not to have bull-
fights as it was natural to Mexicans
of other states to have bullfights.
Sometimes there were clandes-
tine performances. But even the
effort has almost stopped. Of all

stale, flat, and unprofitable enter-
prises a secret bullfight came near
heading the list. The bullfight
bootleggers ? have just about gone
out of business simply because the
Oaxaca public is uninterested in
their wares. Everywhere else in
Mexico the sport is lawful and
flourishing.
