Selling Masculinity at Warner Bros.: William Powell, a Case Study
Katie Walsh Selling Masculinity at Warner Bros.: William Powell, A Case Study Abstract William Powell became a star in the 1930s due to his unique brand of suave charm and witty humor—a quality that could only be expressed with the advent of sound film, and one that took him from mid-level player typecast as a villain, to one of the most popular romantic comedy leads of the era. His charm lay in the nonchalant sophistication that came naturally to Powell and that he displayed with ease both on screen and off. He was exemplary of the success of the new kind of star that came into their own during the transition to sound: sharp- or silver-tongued actors who were charming because of their way with words and not because of their silver screen faces. Powell also exercised a great deal of control over his publicity and star image, which is best examined during his short and failed tenure as a Warner Bros. during the advent of his rise to stardom. Despite holding a great amount of power in his billing and creative control, Powell was given a parade of cookie-cutter dangerous playboy roles, and the terms of his contract and salary were constantly in flux over the three years he spent there. With the help of his agent Myron Selznick, Powell was able to navigate between three studios in only a matter of a few years, in search of the perfect fit for his natural abilities as an actor. This experimentation with star image and publicity marked the period of the early 1930s in Hollywood, as studios dealt with the quickly evolving art and technological form, industrial and business practices, and a shifting cultural and moral landscape.

He appeared to have achieved this dream on Friday evening, February 4, 1938, at Henry Miller’s Theatre on Forty-third Street, when Frank Craven, the admired character actor, played the part of the Stage Man- ager in the premiere of Our Town, directed and produced by the legendary Jed Harris. The play concluded with the lan- guage used in this production: “They’re resting in Grover’s Corners. Tomorrow’s going to be another day. Good night to you, too. Good night. Get a good rest.” After a short, stunned silence, broken by audible sniffles in the house, the audience offered an ovation. The next day, the phone rang off the hook with good news at the author’s home ninety miles away in Hamden, Connecticut. A particularly informative call came from 20406_ch02.qxd 8/13/03 1:19 PM Page 114 114 k Afterword Wilder’s greatest actor friend, Ruth Gordon, then starring as Nora in Wilder’s translation of Ibsen’s Doll’s House, also play- ing on Broadway and also directed by Harris. (It is forgotten that Wilder had two shows running in New York City at the same time in 1938.) Wilder reported the highlights of Gor- don’s call (especially the detail about tears in the eyes of a Hollywood mogul) to Dwight Dana, his attorney, confidant, and keeper of Wilder’s exchequer during the Great Depres- sion.

Directed by Michael Donald Edwards, OUR BETTERS Opens March 13 at Asolo Rep
Directed by Michael Donald Edwards, OUR BETTERS Opens March 13 at Asolo Rep "A more devious Downton Abbey." – NowToronto.com (SARASOTA, February 5, 2015) — Before there was Downton Abbey, there was Our Betters, W. Somerset Maugham's fiery romantic dramedy about the invasion of sly social-climbing American heiresses into British society. The fifth play in the third season of Asolo Rep's five-year American Character Project illuminates a sect of wealthy, early 20th-century American women who yearned for the pomp and circumstance – and parties – of the British nobility. Directed by Asolo Rep's producing artistic director Michael Donald Edwards, Our Betters opens Friday, March 13, 2015 at 8pm and runs through Sunday, April 19 at Asolo Rep, with previews Wednesday, March 11 and Thursday, March 12 at 8pm. In early 20th-century England, broke British aristocrats desperately needed money to maintain their ornate estates, and wealthy American women desperately wanted -more- Our Betters Page 2 of 7 the prestige of marrying well. After marrying a baronet, American hardware heiress Lady Pearl Grayston appears to have everything a girl could want – a posh title, a throng of adoring lovers, and the crème de la crème of British society, including a princess and a duchesse, at her beck and call – but she wants more. When Pearl's little sister, Bessie, crosses the pond to join her sister's enviably glamorous life and find a noble husband of her own, she is unprepared for the scandal that is about to erupt behind closed manor doors. “Brimming with dynamic and passionate women of position, prestige and wealth, Our Betters reveals how they prevailed in a society with limited options for women," said Michael Donald Edwards.
