Description
Most of Julian Rivero's (1890-1976) roles in the silent era were uncredited, including his first, "The Bright Shawl" in 1923; also the first film of future gangster Edward G. Robinson (1893-1973).
In 1927 he played a gangster henchman (still uncredited) in Josef von Sternberg's "Underworld." von Sternerg had directed Duke in "Jet Pilot" (shot in 1949, released in 1957).
In 1934 Rivero was uncredited (as a telegraph operator) in the Howard Hawks' directed "Viva Villa." Hawks directed John Wayne in several classics from 1946 to 1970.
That same year he had his largest role as Tony the mechanic, with an Italian accent, in the Mascot serial "Burn 'Em Up Barns."
And also in 1934 he played Esteban (uncredited) in the first ever three strip Technicolor short, "La Cucaracha."
He first appears at 4:47 in a comic sequence involving overly seasoned food.
(Earlier color processes could not capture blue, so skies would photograph as white.
The orthochromatic black and white stock, in turn, could not register red.)
The color swatches of blue in "Cucaracha" are especially arresting.

His first of several film noirs as, the man with a monkey, was in "This Gun For Hire."
Julian's only appearance in a Wayne picture was in Duke's second color feature, the RKO Radio released "Tycoon" (1947). Rivero was uncredited as a priest.
And Rivero stole, his brief (uncredited) scene from Humphrey Bogart, as the barber in John Huston's "Treasure of the Sierra Madre."
Huston directed Wayne in only one movie "The Barbarian & the Geisha" (1958).
Rivero's 50 year career in motion pictures came to an end (after 229 titles) in the 1973 TV movie of John Steinbeck's "The Red Pony."
