    "ROME'S RECRUITS" a Hist of PROTESTANTS WHO HAVE BECOME CATHOLICS SINCE THE TRACTARIAN MOVEMENT. Re-printed, with numerous additions and corrections, from " J^HE ^HITEHALL j^EYIEW" Of September 28th, October 5th, 12th, and 19th, 1878. ->♦<- PUBLISHED AT THE OFFICE OF " THE WHITEHALL REVIEW." And Sold by James Parker & Co., 377, Strand, and at Oxford; and by Burns & Oates, Portman Street, W. 1878. PEEFACE. HE publication in four successive numbers of The Whitehall Review of the names of those Protestants who have become Catholics since the Tractarian move ment, led to the almost general suggestion that Rome's Recruits should be permanently embodied in a pamphlet. This has now been done. The lists which appeared in The Whitehall Review have been carefully revised, corrected, and considerably augmented ; and the result is the compilation of what must be regarded as the first List of Converts to Catholicism of a reliable nature. While the idea of issuing such a statement of" Perversions " or " Conversions " was received with unanimous favour — for the silly letter addressed to the Morning Post by Sir Edward Sullivan can only be regarded as the wild effusion of an ultra-Protestant gone very wrong — great curiosity has been manifested as to the sources from whence we derived our information. The modus operandi was very simple. Possessed of a considerable nucleus, our hands were strengthened immediately after the appearance of the first list by 071 XT PREFACE. the co-operation of nearly all the converts themselves, who hastened to beg the addition of their names to the muster-roll.

  • Seven Footprints to Satan Saturday 24 March 2018 Performing Live: Jane Gardner and Roddy Long
    Seven Footprints to Satan Saturday 24 March 2018 Performing live: Jane Gardner and Roddy Long This is a real rarity: the middle of three spooky house films made by Danish director Benjamin Christensen, who's best known for the satanic documentary Haxan, AKA Witchcraft Through the Ages. The other films are lost, though the music and sound effects discs that once accompanied The Haunted House can be heard on YouTube: lots of whistling wind and hooting owls. You might want to imagine those sounds as you experience Seven Footprints, whose original score and FX are lost: but we'll endeavour to make up for that with our own live accompaniment. Christensen came over at the same time as Garbo, and for a while looked to be making a go of it in Hollywood, directing successful films at MGM and Warner Bros. His very weird sensibility seems surreal now, but apparently fitted into the commercial cinema of the day. Seven Footprints is based on a perfectly serious mystery novel, but the director rewrote it from scratch and turned it into a bizarre and hilarious parody, a parade of sensational events with scarcely any narrative connection. We're just trapped in a spooky house with a nice couple being terrorized by a criminal cult, led by... Satan himself! The relentless succession of thugs, dwarfs, fiendish orientals, sinister cripples, phony gorillas, ludicrous grotesques and exotic women, all entering and exiting through secret panels, usually carrying pistols (except the gorilla) and uttering baffling warnings, plays like a Fu Manchu movie viewed through an opium haze.

  • Child-Theft Across Visual Media
    The Child-theft Motif in the Silent Film Era and Afterwards 7 The Child-theft Motif in the Silent Film Era and Afterwards — ※ — During the silent film era (1894–1927), the story of children who are stolen by ‘gypsies’ and then rescued/restored to their families resurfaces as one of the popular stock plots. I refrain here from analysing individ- ual films and offer, instead, two points for further consideration: firstly, a listing of works that stage the motif under discussion, and secondly, an expanded annotated filmography. The Films 1. Rescued by Rover (1905, UK) 2. Two Little Waifs (1905, UK) 3. Ein Jugendabenteuer (1905, UK) 4. Rescued by Carlo (1906, USA) 5. The Horse That Ate the Baby (1906, UK) 6. The Gypsies; or, The Abduction (1907, France/UK) 7. The Adventures of Dollie (1908, USA) 8. Le Médaillon (1908, France) 9. A Gallant Scout (1909, UK) 10. Ein treuer Beschützer (1909, France) 11. Scouts to the Rescue (1909, UK) 12. Il trovatore (1910, Italy/France) 13. Billy’s Bulldog (1910, UK) 14. The Little Blue Cap (1910, UK) 15. The Squire’s Romance (1910, UK) 16.

  • Blonde Journalism 1 Introduction When Two Blonde Bombshells from Hollywood Found Themselves in Trouble, They Also Found Themselv
    Blonde Journalism 1 Introduction When two blonde bombshells from Hollywood found themselves in trouble, they also found themselves in the newspaper. In the 1920s and ‘30s, comedienne Thelma Todd captured America’s attention not only with her numerous Hollywood films, but also with her bitter divorce and highly publicized death threats from a male stalker.1 Decades later, Playboy model Anna Nicole Smith stole headlines with her scandalous marriage to a billionaire 63 years her senior and the contentious paternity battle over her newborn daughter.2 By the time both reached age 30, their triumphs and tragedies were as much on-stage as they were, spread all over the media for the world to see. Because their lives were fodder for everyday news, their mysterious, tragic deaths created media frenzy. Newspapers relished coverage of Ms. Todd’s death, December 16, 1935. Three well-respected newspapers – The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, and The Atlanta Journal-Constitution – covered the actress’s death throughout their papers during the week following. The opportunity for using the sensationalistic style of yellow journalism was intoxicating, and editors for the three newspapers in 1935 lapped it up – some more than others – knowing the juicy celebrity mystery would not fail to attract readers. Nearly 72 years later, a similar media frenzy occurred when Anna Nicole Smith died on February 7, 2007. As their newspaper counterparts did seven decades earlier, television news shows, from NBC’s “Dateline” to Fox News to CNN, jumped on the gossipy story with around-the-clock, dramatic, graphics-filled coverage – in short, employing the yellow-journalism techniques of Ms.

  • “I Want Music Everywhere” Music, Operetta, and Cultural Hierarchy at the Hal Roach Studios
    4 “I Want Music Everywhere” Music, Operetta, and Cultural Hierarchy at the Hal Roach Studios In their 1928 stockholders’ report, the Hal Roach Studios’ board of directors anticipated the company’s conversion to sound with calm assuredness: The last few months has [sic] witnessed the advent of another element in the produc- tion field; that is, the talking or sound pictures. It is, of course, difficult to foretell what the eventual outcome of talking pictures will be or the eventual form they will assume. One thing is certain, however, that is that they are at the present time an element in the amusement field apparently having a definite appeal to the public, and properly handled, it promises to be a great addition to the entertainment value of pictures and a great aid to the producer in building up the interest in the picture intended. The company has placed itself in a position to gain by any and all new methods and devices introduced in the field.1 Confidence is to be expected in a stockholders’ statement, but for the Roach Studios such an attitude likely came easy, at least in comparison with the com- petition. Unlike the independent producer-distributor Educational—which had initially flubbed its transition by backing the Vocafilm technology—the Roach Studios enjoyed the luxury of a financing and distribution deal with industry powerhouse Loew’s-MGM and opted to follow the parent company’s lead in entering the uncertain waters ahead. The Roach organization was, for example, included in Loew’s-MGM’s initial contract with Electrical Research Products, Inc.
