  • Raoul Walsh to Attend Opening of Retrospective Tribute at Museum
    The Museum of Modern Art jl west 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019 Tel. 956-6100 Cable: Modernart NO. 34 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE RAOUL WALSH TO ATTEND OPENING OF RETROSPECTIVE TRIBUTE AT MUSEUM Raoul Walsh, 87-year-old film director whose career in motion pictures spanned more than five decades, will come to New York for the opening of a three-month retrospective of his films beginning Thursday, April 18, at The Museum of Modern Art. In a rare public appearance Mr. Walsh will attend the 8 pm screening of "Gentleman Jim," his 1942 film in which Errol Flynn portrays the boxing champion James J. Corbett. One of the giants of American filmdom, Walsh has worked in all genres — Westerns, gangster films, war pictures, adventure films, musicals — and with many of Hollywood's greatest stars — Victor McLaglen, Gloria Swanson, Douglas Fair­ banks, Mae West, James Cagney, Humphrey Bogart, Marlene Dietrich and Edward G. Robinson, to name just a few. It is ultimately as a director of action pictures that Walsh is best known and a growing body of critical opinion places him in the front rank with directors like Ford, Hawks, Curtiz and Wellman. Richard Schickel has called him "one of the best action directors...we've ever had" and British film critic Julian Fox has written: "Raoul Walsh, more than any other legendary figure from Hollywood's golden past, has truly lived up to the early cinema's reputation for 'action all the way'...." Walsh's penchant for action is not surprising considering he began his career more than 60 years ago as a stunt-rider in early "westerns" filmed in the New Jersey hills.

  • 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.

  • World War Ii and Us Cinema
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: WORLD WAR II AND U.S. CINEMA: RACE, NATION, AND REMEMBRANCE IN POSTWAR FILM, 1945-1978 Robert Keith Chester, Ph.D., 2011 Co-Directed By: Dr. Gary Gerstle, Professor of History, Vanderbilt University Dr. Nancy Struna, Professor of American Studies, University of Maryland, College Park This dissertation interrogates the meanings retrospectively imposed upon World War II in U.S. motion pictures released between 1945 and the mid-1970s. Focusing on combat films and images of veterans in postwar settings, I trace representations of World War II between war‘s end and the War in Vietnam, charting two distinct yet overlapping trajectories pivotal to the construction of U.S. identity in postwar cinema. The first is the connotations attached to U.S. ethnoracial relations – the presence and absence of a multiethnic, sometimes multiracial soldiery set against the hegemony of U.S. whiteness – in depictions of the war and its aftermath. The second is Hollywood‘s representation (and erasure) of the contributions of the wartime Allies and the ways in which such images engaged with and negotiated postwar international relations. Contrary to notions of a ―good war‖ untainted by ambiguity or dissent, I argue that World War II gave rise to a conflicted cluster of postwar meanings. At times, notably in the early postwar period, the war served as a progressive summons to racial reform. At other times, the war was inscribed as a historical moment in which U.S. racism was either nonexistent or was laid permanently to rest. In regard to the Allies, I locate a Hollywood dialectic between internationalist and unilateralist remembrances.

  • Bamcinématek Presents Under the Influence: Scorsese/Walsh, a 12
    BAMcinématek presents Under the Influence: Scorsese/Walsh, a 12-film series pairing Martin Scorsese works with their inspirations from Raoul Walsh’s seminal oeuvre, Mar 12—26 Opens with Walsh’s Regeneration, featuring live piano by acclaimed silent film accompanist Steve Sterner The Wall Street Journal is the title sponsor for BAMcinématek and BAM Rose Cinemas. Brooklyn, NY/Feb 12, 2014—From Wednesday, March 12 through Wednesday, March 26, BAMcinématek presents Under the Influence: Scorsese/Walsh, pairing six Scorsese classics with their inspirations from Raoul Walsh’s seminal oeuvre. The still-undervalued Walsh’s lean, mean portraits of gangsters, knack for evoking gritty urban locales, and assured handling of white- knuckle action provide a virtual template for modern-day maestro (and avowed Walsh admirer) Martin Scorsese’s work. Viewed side by side, the films of these two iconic auteurs reveal a fascinating and ongoing creative dialogue across the generations. One of the great action directors of the Hollywood studio era, Raoul Walsh was the swaggering, manly-man artist behind some of the best movies to star James Cagney, Humphrey Bogart, and Errol Flynn. ―Walsh’s explosive outcast characters were bigger than life,‖ said Martin Scorsese, whose own violent, masculine oeuvre is just as full of explosive outcasts. ―Their lust for life was insatiable, even as their actions precipitated their tragic destiny. The world was too small for them.‖ Walsh was ―probably Scorsese’s single most important influence,‖ wrote critic Dave Kehr (Moving Image Source), even if Scorsese’s debts to Michael Powell, Luchino Visconti, and other filmmakers have been more widely acknowledged over the years.

An international selection of artworks made for broadcast, the exhibi- tion documents the crossovers and collaborations that take place on this new television, between and among dancers, musicians, play- wrights, actors, authors, poets, and visual and video artists . And it investigates the artists' own investigation of one medium -- be it dance or music or literature -- through another . It examines the transformations video makes and the possibilities it allows . These provocative uses of television time and technology are organized in THE ARTS FOR TELEVISION according to the medium transformed by the electronic image ; the six categories are Dance for Television, Music for Television, Theatre for Television, Literature for Television, The Video Image (works that address video as a visual art, that make reference to the traditional visual arts and to seeing itself), and Not Necessarily Television (works that address the usual content of TV, and transform it) . The ARTS FOR TELEVISION also presents another level of collaboration in artists' television . It documents the involvement of television stations in Europe and America with art and artists' video . It recognizes their commitment and acknowledges the risks they take in allowing artists the opportunity to realize works of art .

Mayer Library, Los Angeles, CA RIGHTS AND RESTRICTIONS: Access Restrictions: Collection is open for research. Copyright: The copyright interests in this collection remain with the creator. For more information, contact the Louis B. Mayer Library. Acquisition Method: Donated by Michael Nesmith in 1990. BIOGRAPHICAL/HISTORY NOTE: Fritz Lang was a noted filmmaker who immigrated to Hollywood via France during WWII in 1934, in protest against the Nazi regime, becoming a United States citizen in 1939. Lang was born Friedrich Christian Anton Lang in Vienna, Austria, on December 5, 1890 to parents Anton and Paula Lang. He briefly attended the Technical University of Vienna where he studied civil engineering before switching to art; he studied painting under teachers in Vienna, Munich, and Paris. In WWI Lang served in the Austrian Army where he was wounded three times and decorated four times while fighting in Russia and Romania. His German Expressionist films, including METROPOLIS (1927) and M (1931), are considered precursors to the film noir style of filmmaking that was popular in Hollywood from the early 1940s to late 1950s. Upon his move to the United States, Lang was employed at Metro- Goldwyn-Mayer Studios (M-G-M), where he rose to prominence by directing FURY (1936).

  • HOTEL LIFE in HOLLYWOODLAND in 1938 My Story of My Days In
    HOTEL LIFE IN HOLLYWOODLAND IN 1938 My story of my days in Hollywoodland included our stay at the La Belle Tour. Reagan lived just a few blocks away at the Montecito (his first residence in Hollywood) where he "babysat" me. It must have been relatively easy for mother to “dump me with „Dutch‟ !”Within a mile of these two hotels are Cheremoya Elementary School and Grauman‟s Chinese Theatre.Quite a neighborhood!If Reagan did in fact room with Mickey Rooney then, perhaps, this is what gave rise to the rumor that I was considered as an understudy to Rooney.The following is from Wikipedia. Montecito Apartments (From Wikipedia) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montecito_Apartments Home for Ronald Reagan and other actors (from Wikipedia) The Montecito was once frequented by movie stars, especially New York based actors while working in Hollywood. The Montecito was Ronald Reagan‟s first residence when he moved to Hollywood; Reagan lived at the Montecito from June 1937 to late 1938.[6] Reagan was said to have been roommates at the Montecito with Mickey Rooney.[7] Other celebrities who have lived at the Montecito include James Cagney,[8] George C. Scott,[9] Montgomery Clift,[4] Geraldine Page,[8] Don Johnson and Ben Vereen.[10] Hollywood Tower (from Wikipedia) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollywood_Tower Hollywood Tower, originally known as La Belle Tour, is a large apartment building in Hollywood, Los Angeles, California. The tower, built in 1929, was a popular residence for entertainment industry employees for many years and has often been cited as the inspiration for Disney's Twilight Zone Tower of Terror rides.

Finding aid created in 2006. Revised and expanded in 2008. Copyright © 2006-2008 Brooklyn Public Library. All rights reserved. Descriptive Summary Creator: Various Title: Brooklyn Theater Playbills and Programs Collection Date Span: 1875-1972 Abstract: The Brooklyn Theater Playbills and Programs Collection consists of 800 playbills and programs for motion pictures, musical concerts, high school commencement exercises, lectures, photoplays, vaudeville, and burlesque, as well as the more traditional offerings such as plays and operas, all from Brooklyn theaters. Quantity: 2.25 linear feet Location: Brooklyn Collection Map Room, cabinet 11 Repository: Brooklyn Public Library – Brooklyn Collection Reference Code: BC0071 Scope and Content Note The 800 items in the Brooklyn Theater Playbills and Programs Collection, which occupies 2.25 cubic feet, easily refute the stereotypes of Brooklyn as provincial and insular. From the late 1880s until the 1940s, the period covered by the bulk of these materials, the performing arts thrived in Brooklyn and were available to residents right at their doorsteps. At one point, there were over 200 theaters in Brooklyn. Frequented by the rich, the middle class and the working poor, they enjoyed mass popularity. With materials from 115 different theaters, the collection spans almost a century, from 1875 to 1972. The highest concentration is in the years 1890 to 1909, with approximately 450 items.
