Carlos Noriega Hope[a] (6 November 1896 – 15 November 1934) was a Mexican writer and journalist. Born in Tacubaya, Mexico City, he studied law and became a journalist. In 1919 he traveled to Hollywood to report on the new cinematographic industry. Besides writing the scripts for important films such as Santa (Mexico 1932, Actors: Carlos Orellana, Mimi Derba, Lupita Tovar), based on the book by Federico Gamboa, and Una vida por otra (One life for another, Mexico 1934),[1] he published several short stories where he pictured the early rise of Hollywood. The book was edited under the names La inútil curiosidad and Las experiencias de Miss Patsy (Para qué? – "Ché" Ferrati, inventor—El viejo amigo—Las experiencias de Miss Patsy—La grande ilusión—El tesoro de Cabeza de Vaca—Fracaso—El honor del ridículo)
He edited the literary journal El Universal Ilustrado,[2] which was crucial for the diffusion of Stridentism.
