The room was lush with palm trees, bamboo, tapa, coconuts and even sported a periodic tropical rainstorm, said Greg Traynor, who visited with his family in 1940. The Hawaiian entertainers were the best in the world. The Hawaiian Room was so successful it created a wave of South Seas bars and restaurants that swept the country after World War II. In this column, we'll hear from some of the women who sang and danced there. They call themselves Ex-Lexes. courtesy Mona Joy Lum, Hula Preservation Society / 1957Some of the singers and dancers at the Hawaiian Room in the Lexington Hotel. The women relished the opportunity to "Singing at the Hawaiian Room was the high point of my life," perform on such a marquee stage. said soprano Mona Joy Lum. "I told my mother, if I could sing on a big stage in New York, I would be happy. And I got to do that." Lum said the Hawaiian Room was filled every night. "It could hold about 150 patrons. There were two shows a night and the club was open until 2 a.m. I worked an hour a day and was paid $150 a week (about $1,200 a week today). It was wonderful.

LA POLITIQUE DE L’ OFFICE OF INTER-AMERICAN AFFAIRS DE NELSON ROCKFELLER AU BRÉSIL PENDANT LA SECONDE GUERRE MONDIALE Ursula Prutsch ABSTRACT This article considers firstly the wide range of activities spearheaded by the Office of Inter-American Affairs (OIAA) in Brazil and the significance of this wartime institution. The OIAA was created in 1940 and headed by Nelson A. Rockefeller to combat Axis inroads into the South of the Western Hemisphere and deepen U.S. influence in the region. Toward this end it was engaged in a variety of spheres, including finance, commerce, and manufacturing industry, communications and mass media, culture and education. Its politics in Brazil, the most important hemispheric partner moreover, serves to illustrate the intertwining of economy, politics, and culture in United States foreign policy, especially towards Latin America. Secondly, the article will also show that the Brazilian government – rather than being a passive recipient of dictums from Washington – worked hard to appropriate the OIAA’s agenda to the demands of its 181 own interests in the ongoing nation-building process.

  • Closure of the Kodak Plant in Rochester, United States Lessons from Industrial Transitions
    Closure of the Kodak plant in Rochester, United States Lessons from industrial transitions SEI brief Key insights: June 2021 • Rochester went through a decades-long process of industrial transition as the Eastman Kodak Company, a photography technology company, cut more than 80% of its jobs from Aaron Atteridge its height in the 1980s to its bankruptcy in 2012. Claudia Strambo • Rochester emerged from the transition with a more diverse economy, and with higher levels of employment. Key to this positive outcome was the city’s use of the existing infrastructure and skill set to reorient the regional economy and enable the development of new tech companies. • Universities and major cultural institutions supported the transition by attracting research funding and companies seeking high-skilled workers, and by collaborating with the private sector to develop training programs that matched the skills companies needed. • Even as the economy has grown, however, the city centre has suffered from population loss and urban decay. Acute inequalities remain: new employment opportunities mainly benefitted high-skill workers, and the quality of jobs, in terms of wages and security, has decreased. • In an industrial transition, it is important to implement measures to specifically address poverty and marginalization, and to ensure broader economic diversification, as well as use a broad set of indicators when assessing the effectiveness of transition policies. This case study examines the decline and ultimately closure of the Kodak plant in Rochester, New York, United States. It is part of a series that looks at four historical cases involving the decline of major industrial or mining activities.

    Narrative Production RTF 366K ­ 08730 Spring Semester 2016 Class: Thursdays 9:30­12:30 CMB 4.122 Lab: Mondays 6­9pm CMB 4.118 Instructor: Deborah Eve Lewis Office hours ­ Wednesdays 1­4pm, CMA TA: Mitchell O’Hearn Independent Inquiry This course carries the Independent Inquiry flag. Independent Inquiry courses are designed to engage you in the process of inquiry over the course of a semester, providing you with the opportunity for independent investigation of a question, problem, or project related to your major. You should therefore expect a substantial portion of your grade to come from the independent investigation and presentation of your own work. Course Description This course is an intensive workshop in visual storytelling and non­dialogue filmmaking designed to build upon the fundamental production concepts and techniques first introduced in RTF 318 – Intro to Image & Sound. This class explores the expressive potential of image & sound through the production of 16mm film and digital video exercises and short films, ultimately preparing students for advanced narrative classes. Non­dialog filmmaking is the root of all filmmaking. It asks you to understand the basic principles of storytelling through images and sound and the relationship between the two. One simply cannot rely on expositional dialog, or worse, poorly written dialog. One must truly communicate solely through visual and aural storytelling. With technology moving so quickly these days, the ease of digital filmmaking has become our enemy. "The enemy of art is the absence of limitations" ­ Orson Welles Black & white reversal film, however, is completely unforgiving. Therefore, each shot and edit must be thought out creatively and technically – you must be confident in your creative decisions.
