Fore- most among these women is the figure of Alice Guy Blaché—also known simply as Alice Guy, before she married Herbert Blaché in 1907—who was responsible for numerous “firsts” in cinema history: the first film with narrative La Fée aux Choux (The Cabbage Patch Fairy; 1896), as well as early experiments with color dye processes, synchronized sound recording, multi-reel films, and other cinematic advances. Gaumont put out a set of her French films for that com- pany—she was the head of production for Gaumont between 1896 and 1907—in a superb DVD in 2009 entitled Gaumont Treasures Vol- ume 1 (1897–1913), but this compilation necessarily did not deal with her subsequent work in America, where she founded her own produc- tion company, Solax, and set about making a series of energetic films in every possible genre.

  • Mothers of Men/Every Woman's Problem
    MOTHERS OF MEN/EVERY WOMAN’S PROBLEM Early Woman’s Suffrage Film With Local Bay Area Roots “Must marriage mean the saCrifiCe of woman’s ambition – her most Cherished ideals?” The Fate of Early Cinema It is estimated that only ten to fifteen percent of the motion pictures created during the silent-era still survive in complete form today. The other 85-90% of all motion pictures created prior to 1930 are considered “lost” – titles for which not a single surviving print is known to exist. Early suffrage film discovered Mothers of Men, made in 1917, is one the few surviving women’s suffrage films with the further distinction that it was made in the San Francisco Bay Area. Starring Dorothy Davenport, Mothers of Men is a melodrama at its finest, penned by Hal Reid (father of silent film actor Wallace Reid), who knew his way around the art of crafting a melodrama. A suffrage film made just three years before the 19th Amendment was ratified, allowing women the right to vote, Mothers of Men attempted to enter into the suffrage campaign by showing the nation how strong women can be if allowed to hold a political office. The 100-year anniversary of the 19th amendment is just around the corner and this is a perfect time to reveal this film once again. The only known film elements are held outside the United States and have been deteriorating to the point that it is imperative to begin the restoration. “The intense impression Mothers of Men would make upon millions of people in behalf of women’s suffrage, the heights of motherhood and of womanhood.” – Hal Reid Rediscovering our loCal history in early Cinema In 1916, members of the Santa Cruz community were desperately trying to participate in the film industry, and they succeeded when they attracted Willis L.

  • Jeanie Macpherson
    Jeanie Macpherson Also Known As: Jeanie MacPherson, Jeannie MacPherson Lived: May 18, 1888 - August 26, 1946 Worked as: director, film actress, screenwriter Worked In: United States by Jane Gaines Jeanie Macpherson is best known as Cecil B. DeMille’s screenwriter since she collaborated exclusively with the director-producer from 1915 through the silent era and into the sound era, in a working relationship lasting fifteen years. Like many other women who became established as screenwriters, she began her career as a performer, first as a dancer and then as an actress. Her numerous acting screen credits begin in 1908, and nearly thirty of the short films she appeared in for the Biograph Company, most directed by D. W. Griffith, are extant. At Universal Pictures, Macpherson began to write, but due to a fluke she also directed the one film that she wrote there— a one-reel Western, The Tarantula (1913), according to a 1916 Photoplay article (95). Although Anthony Slide cannot confirm the success of the film, both he and Charles Higham retell the story that when the film negative was destroyed by accident, the actress was asked to reshoot the entire motion picture just as she recalled it since the original director was unavailable (Slide 1977, 60; Higham 1973, 38). There are several versions of how Jeanie Macpherson, out of work after The Tarantula, was hired by DeMille at the Jesse L. Lasky Feature Play Company. The most elaborate version is from Higham, who describes Macpherson’s attempt to get an acting job as involving a series of battles between the two while the director was shooting Rose of the Rancho (1914) (38–40).

I will not say that it was impossible; just that is was not likely. That's why Buster Keaton is so essential. This did not present a problem in and of itself, for Buster was always up for a technical challenge. Scandal struck again less than six months later, in February , when film director William Desmond Taylor was shot dead in his home on Alvarado Street in the then-fashionable Westlake Park district. While dismissing any suspicions of foul play, the police authorities wish to make a thorough investigation before permitting the remains to be sent to America for burial. Mark E.

  • Films from the George Eastman House to Be Presented
    y^ The Museum of Modern Art :^o. 28 1 West 53 street, New York, N.Y. 10019 circle 5-8900 Cable: Modernart FOR IMMF,DIATE RELEASE Thursday, March 16, 1967 Films from the George Eastman House In Rochester, New York, will be presented by the Department of Film of The Museum of Modern Art from March 20 through April 30. Sixty films selected by James Card, Curator of Motion Pictures at the Eastman House, will be screened in three parts. The first section includes 20 selections made between 1915 and 1953. The films of the Eastman House collection are generally not available for cir­ culation and are relatively inaccessible as they are screened only on the premises in Rochester. Most of the films have not been seen in New York for many years. The series is presented at the Museum through the courtesy and cooperation of Thomas Brandon, Mrs. Cecilia deMille Harper, Paul Killiam, Dr. Norman Holmes Pearson, Miss Mary Pickford, Embassy Pictures, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and Paramount Pictures. The George Eastman House film collection was established in 19i;9 by General Oscar Solbert, its first Director, in the former home of George Eastman. Using his own private collection of some 800 films as a nucleus, Mr. Card assembled its archive which today includes thousands of titles. Many of the films are those which were never praised by serious critics but which were pictures that "played mighty roles in the history of the long love affair between the world film public and the American Cinema," explained Mr. Card in the Winter 1962-63 issue of Film Quarterly.
