Last fall Paula Bosse, curator of the indispensable Flashback Dallas, drew our attention to a long-forgotten film titled A Cavalcade of Texas shot in 1938 by movie-biz “empire-builder” (in the words of Cecil B. DeMille, at least) Karl Hoblitzelle. It’s quite the in-color look-see at the entirety of the state way back when; The Dallas News’ entertainment critic at the time, John Rosenfield, wrote that if nothing else, “The picture should be a revelation to the outlanders who still think of Texas as the backwoods with a hillbilly civilization.” (Plus ça change …) Here’s his review of the film when it made its bow in October 1939 at the Majestic, which was one of Hoblitzelle’s creations.
