    Note: This is the Author’s Original Manuscript prior to peer review and copy editing. Now published in Tamar Jeffers McDonald and Lies Lanckman eds., Star Attractions: Movie Magazines and Global Fandom in the Golden Age of Cinema (Iowa City: University of Iowa Press, 2019), pp. 123-139: https://www.uipress.uiowa.edu/books/9781609386733/star-attractions ‘England’s Apollo’: Ivor Novello, Divinised Stardom, and Researching Star Discourse in the Film Fan-magazine Michael Williams Introduction Back in the late 1990s, when researching Britain’s leading matinee-idol of the 1920s, Ivor Novello, it was an expression in a piece of seemingly throw-away publicity in a fan-magazine that helped me crystalize his appeal for contemporary audiences. I had already been struck by Novello’s astonishingly luminous close-ups in Alfred Hitchcock’s The Lodger (1926), and knew of his enduring association with the war anthem ‘Keep the Home Fires Burning’, which he co-wrote in 1914, but this advertisement for a 1923 fantasy film directed by Adrian Brunel, seemed to resonate with these aspects, and suggest so much more. The main text of the advertisement simply read: ‘‘Readers of Picture Show! Do you admire IVOR NOVELLO (ENGLAND’S APOLLO) Ask the manager of your local cinema when he is showing him in “The Man Without Desire!”’.i The bracketed reference was a little tongue-in-cheek (fitting the tone of some of Brunel’s productions) in suggesting that if its readers didn’t recognise the star’s name, they might be more familiar with this mythically grandiose alter-ego, as if removing the mask of a superhero.

An international selection of artworks made for broadcast, the exhibi- tion documents the crossovers and collaborations that take place on this new television, between and among dancers, musicians, play- wrights, actors, authors, poets, and visual and video artists . And it investigates the artists' own investigation of one medium -- be it dance or music or literature -- through another . It examines the transformations video makes and the possibilities it allows . These provocative uses of television time and technology are organized in THE ARTS FOR TELEVISION according to the medium transformed by the electronic image ; the six categories are Dance for Television, Music for Television, Theatre for Television, Literature for Television, The Video Image (works that address video as a visual art, that make reference to the traditional visual arts and to seeing itself), and Not Necessarily Television (works that address the usual content of TV, and transform it) . The ARTS FOR TELEVISION also presents another level of collaboration in artists' television . It documents the involvement of television stations in Europe and America with art and artists' video . It recognizes their commitment and acknowledges the risks they take in allowing artists the opportunity to realize works of art .

  • Gary Cooper ~ 51 Films
    Gary Cooper ~ 51 Films Frank James (later Gary) Cooper was born on 7 May 1901 in Helena, Montana. From the silent era through to 1961, Cooper built a solid reputation by playing strong, manly, distinctly American roles in a natural, understated manner. The son of English parents who had settled in Montana, in the years 1909-12 he lived and was educated in Dunstable, England. Otherwise, from the age of five, he spent his summers on his father's ranch in northern Montana and his winters in Helena, where for some time he was a near neighbour of Myrna Williams (later Loy). After finishing school he worked on the family ranch until 1922, when he enrolled at Grinnell College, Iowa to study art. After eighteen months of that, and some time in Chicago and Helena, fortune took his parents (and so him) to Los Angeles. After weeks of struggling to find gainful employment, he met two Montana friends, Jim Galeen and Jim Calloway, who were working as film extras and stunt riders in low-budget Westerns. They introduced him to another Montana cowboy, rodeo champion Jay "Slim" Talbot, who hooked Cooper up with a casting director. (Talbot later worked as Cooper's stuntman and stand-in for over thirty years, becoming a close friend and hunting companion in the process.) Cooper accepted work as a film extra for five dollars a day and a stunt rider for twice that amount with the intention of saving enough money to pay for a professional art course. But his appearance in 1926 Western The Winning Of Barbara Worth attracted sufficient notice that his acting career began to take off.

  • THE BOX OFFICE CHECK-UP of 1935
    1 to tell the world!* IN 1936 THE BOX OFFICE CHECK-UP of 1935 An annual produced by the combined editorial and statistical facilities of Motion Picture Herald and Motion Picture Daily devoted to the records and ratings of talent in motion pictures of the year. QUIGLEY PUBLISHING COMPANY THE PUBLIC'S MANDATE by MARTIN QUIGLEY 1 The Box Office Check-Up is intended to disclose guidance upon that single question which in the daily operations of the industry over- shadows all others; namely, the relative box office values of types and kinds of pictures and the personnel of production responsible for them. It is the form-sheet of the industry, depending upon past performances for future guidance. Judging what producers, types of pictures and personalities will do in the future must largely depend upon the record. The Box Office Check-Up is the record. Examination of the record this year and every year must inevitably dis- close much information of both arresting interest and also of genuine im- portance to the progress of the motion picture. It proves some conten- tions and disproves others. It is a source of enlightenment, the clarifying rays of which must be depended upon to light the road ahead. ^ Striking is the essential character of those pictures which month in and month out stand at the head of the list of Box Office Cham- pions. Since August, 1934, the following are among the subjects in this classification: "Treasure Island," "The Barretts of Wimpole Street," "Flirta- tion Walk," "David Copperfield," "Roberta," "Love Me Forever," "Curley

  • Music, Film, and Education
    Music, Film, and Education ^ LACMA Public Programs November 2014 Talk: Samurai Life during the Teen Night Pierre Huyghe in Conversation with Film Independent at LACMA Edo Period Emma Lavigne Free Screening: Chinese Box TALKS & COURSES Art and Life in the Yoruba Cosmological Model Sunday, November 2, 2014 | 2 pm LACMA, Brown Auditorium Free and open to the public. Drawing on works of art on view in African Cosmos: Stellar Arts, Dr. Babatunde Lawal presents profound interconnections of art and life among Yoruba peoples of West Africa. The Yoruba creation stories describe the human body as a work of sculpture molded by the artist-deity Obàtálá to incarnate the soul on earth; they also assert that Obàtálá and other deities ( òrìsà ) assumed human bodies to accompany the first mortals to the newly created earth, where they helped lay the foundations of Yoruba culture. This lecture sheds light on dynamic forms and meanings in Yoruba art and explains how the deities play vital roles in the workings of the universe, serving as intermediaries between humanity and Olódùmarè, the Supreme Being and source of existence. Dr. Babatunde Lawal is professor of African, African American, and African diaspora art at Virginia Commonwealth University.
