SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA MOURNS PASSING OF HENRY L. MacMAHON
Mr. MacMahon, born In India and educated in American universities, began his colorful career as a reporter, and later became known as a writer of note. His most popular contributions were in connection with the motion pictures, such successes as “Birth of a Nation,” “The Blue Bird,” “The King of Kings,” “The Big Parade,” a film version of “Orphans of the Storm,” “The Covered Wagon” and many others.
The chess world will always remember him for having arranged the Pasadena International Tournament in 1932, in which Dr. Alekhine, at that time world's champion, participated, along with the foremost masters of the United States and Mexico. At the time of his death, he was secretary-treasurer of the North American Correspondence Chess League, and edited the league monthly bulletin. He established a memorial tournament for the league. He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Edith N. MacMahon, and two brothers.

Henry L. McMahon organized 1932 Pasadena chess tournament... and promoted thru PR, possibly the most racist movie of all time, "Birth of a Nation." So how often have master Bob's racist critics loudly denounced MacMahon's antisemitism and racism? Never.https://t.co/kxG0S7SUMr pic.twitter.com/EqtWeEPqBW
