Both her grandfather and her mother's grandfather were wealthy Alabamians. The common belief was that Tallulah received much of her acting talent from her father, but accounts of her mother1s younger days show proof that both of her parents were vivacious and talented. A stranger once told Tallulah, "Your mother was the most beautiful thing that ever lived. Many people have said you get your acting talent from your father, but I disagree. I was at school with Ada Eugenia and I knew Will well. Did you know that she could faint on 1 cue?11 Tallulahfs mother possessed grace and beauty and was quite flamboyant. She loved beautiful clothes and enjoyed creating a ruckus in her own Southern world.* Indeed, Tallulah inherited her mother's joy in turning social taboos upside down.

  • Ronald Davis Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts
    Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts in America Southern Methodist University The Southern Methodist University Oral History Program was begun in 1972 and is part of the University’s DeGolyer Institute for American Studies. The goal is to gather primary source material for future writers and cultural historians on all branches of the performing arts- opera, ballet, the concert stage, theatre, films, radio, television, burlesque, vaudeville, popular music, jazz, the circus, and miscellaneous amateur and local productions. The Collection is particularly strong, however, in the areas of motion pictures and popular music and includes interviews with celebrated performers as well as a wide variety of behind-the-scenes personnel, several of whom are now deceased. Most interviews are biographical in nature although some are focused exclusively on a single topic of historical importance. The Program aims at balancing national developments with examples from local history. Interviews with members of the Dallas Little Theatre, therefore, serve to illustrate a nation-wide movement, while film exhibition across the country is exemplified by the Interstate Theater Circuit of Texas. The interviews have all been conducted by trained historians, who attempt to view artistic achievements against a broad social and cultural backdrop. Many of the persons interviewed, because of educational limitations or various extenuating circumstances, would never write down their experiences, and therefore valuable information on our nation’s cultural heritage would be lost if it were not for the S.M.U. Oral History Program. Interviewees are selected on the strength of (1) their contribution to the performing arts in America, (2) their unique position in a given art form, and (3) availability.

Ill rights renerivd. UKOR O Adolph Zukor, eader of the motion picture industry, who first envisioned quality motion picture enter- tainment for the mil- lions as we know it today and whose hand and spirit is most re- sponsible for the mighty progress of Paramount, this book and this pro- gram of pictures are dedicated. Pill 1344 THREE MILESTONE ARAMOUNT'S 20th Birthday Jubilee is of world-wide interest. For the history of Paramountandof Adolph Zukor is the history of the motion picture industry. In 1905, Mr. Zukor at his theatre in Newark, N.J. , introduced the first multiple-reel picture, "The Passion Play". He installed the first organ ever heard in a picture house and a quartet singing"The Rosary". The instant response which these innovations, new and daring for their time, received from the public, the entertainment and genuine inspiration which the crowded houses derived, impressed Mr. Zukor deeply. He resolved to devote his life and fortune to the production and distribution of quality photoplays. The ideal of the modern motion picture and of Paramount was born. His plans brought slowly but surely to fruition, Mr. Zukor in 1911 gave the world "Queen Elizabeth", starring Sarah Bernhardt. The succession of "famous players in famous plays"—James K. Hackett in "The Prisoner of Zenda", Mrs. Fiske in "Tess of the D'Urbervilles" and the rest of the royal line — started. Down through two scores of crowded years Paramount has devoted itself to this ideal first conceived by Adolph Zukor.

    The Birth of the Auteur – How the Studio Production Process Kept the Director both in and Under Ronny Regev Working Paper #47, Spring 2012 The Birth of the Auteur – How the Studio Production Process Kept the Director both In and Under Control Ronny Regev Phd Candidate in History, Princeton University [email protected] During the golden age of the Hollywood studios, what was the difference between the creative status of a screenwriter and that of a director? Consider the production of Lives of a Bengal Lancer, a Paramount picture based on a novel by Francis Yeats-Brown that followed the struggles of three British soldiers in India. Initial work on the screenplay was assigned to two writers by the names of Malcolm Stewart Bailey and Harvey Gates in early 1932. As writer Grover Jones testified, “in those days we used to write scripts alphabetically as the sequence came, A, B, C and so on. Well, they wrote and wrote and got a little discouraged, and finally got down to F and said, ‘the hell with it,’ and quit.” Then the job was handed over to Jones and his partner William Slavens McNutt. They wrote a script but the studio decided not to pursue it. Afterwards, “two or three years went by, maybe four. Writers came from all over the world to work on Bengal Lancer. They were from every place. And the cost accumulated – I have forgotten the exact figure now – almost up to $300,000, $400,000 or half a million.” At that point director Henry Hathaway came on board.

  • Director George Cukor Honored Five-Week-21-Film
    The Museum of Modern Art ^^ ^^ I 11%^ iwiM^^^Miii VI ivawMX^l •• f-mi % ^^^ IMMEDIATE RELEASE 11 West 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019 Tel. 956-6100 Cable: Modernart DIRECTOR GEORGE CUKOR HONORED FIVE-WEEK-21-FILM RETROSPECTIVE A Five-Week Tribute to George Cukor, including 22 films by the American director, will commence on August 27, 1970 at The Museum of Modern Art. Starting with THE ROYAL FAMILY OF BROADWAY, the 1930 movie based on the famous Barrymore clan, with Ina Claire and Fredric March, the Cukor show covers more than three decades in the director's career. In the thirties, stars such as Gary Grant were familiar fixtures in his pictures; the late forties and fifties were marked by the film-maker's frequent collaboration with screenwriters Garson Kanin and his actress wife Ruth Gordon, as well as his pictures co- starring Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy. The final film of the series, THE CHAPMAN REPORT, was made in 1963. The retrospective was assembled by Gary Carey, former Assistant Curator of the Museum's Department of Film and author of a forthcoming book entitled Cukor & Co., to be pub­ lished this fall by the Museum. According to Carey, Cukor was most sympathetic to comic material which had "a strong undercurrent of humanity." Cukor emphasized the roles of his writing collaborators, as well as his actors, because he was primarily influenced by the theater, which he entered in Chicago in 1918. He was a stage manager when stars such as Sarah Bernhardt, Isadora Duncan, Yvette Guilbert, Alia Nazimova, and Elsie Ferguson reigned.
