MORE PICTURES OF AGUA CALIENTE




Agua Caliente Menu Cover. Shows caricatures of the Hollywood elite who visited the place, drawn by Xavier Cugat!   Menu is described by the seller on eBay: "Rare and very special menu from the Agua Caliente Race Track Restaurant in Old Mexico also known
as Tijuana in the 1930s. Agua Caliente was  Known as The Playground of the Stars .
Famous musician, actor and bandleader-- Xavier Cugat-- did this amazing caricature of all the major stars of the day who once frequented this famous restaurant.  I can spot Laurel & Hardy, Joan Crawford, The Marx Brothers, Eddie Duchin, Tallulah Bankhead, Mary Pickford, Marlene Dietrich and Ramon Navarro.... just  to name a few. "How many can you name?"...the menu asks.  "Xavier Cugat" name is printed on the drawing (at lower right)."

Actual date, Tuesday July 31, 1934 is on the inside of the menu.
