Fanfare for Penge & West Beckenham 7 July 2012 Fanfare for Penge & West Beckenham 7th July 2012 Concert Notes by Cliff Watkins Introduction Thank you for purchasing this Companion Booklet to the Programme for the Fanfare for Penge & Beckenham Concert in Penge Congregational Church on July 7th 2012. Net proceeds will be used to defray the expenses of those taking part – three choirs, a band and several soloists – some 120 performers. As the Concert was to be in Penge, last year I commissioned Gordon Carr to compose the ‘Fanfare for Penge’ for brass band. However, when planning the concert this year I found that many of the people, places and events in Penge had common roots with neighbours in nearby Beckenham. Thus the title of tonight’s concert was changed to include West Beckenham. Inside the booklet, there is a four page insert that gives the full details of all the music: name, composer and performers. The booklet pages describe and illustrate the historical aspects of each musical moment numbered to match the order of the programme. 1. FANFARE for PENGE The composer Gordon Carr is a member of the famous Salvationist family which lived in The Drive, Beckenham and who were familiar faces in Penge. On Sundays, Gordon’s father, Arthur Carr – who became Chief of Staff of the UK Salvation Army from 1974 to 1977 - ‘marched’ his family along Beckenham Road and Penge High Street to pray in the Citadel in Maple Road. Gordon left Dulwich College to study for a career in music. During this period he help the Beckenham & County School orchestra whose leader was his younger brother, Howard. After a long career as a professional horn player, Gordon is now a music teacher and composer. 2. BANANAS IN PYJAMAS TRIO (Bananas, Luxurious Shoe Horn, Sing a Song of Science) These three songs by Carey Blyton first appeared in his book of seventeen nonsense verses with hilarious illustrations entitled Bananas in Pyjamas. When published in 1972 it became a success with children of all ages. Forty years on, we will – as far as I know – hear for the first time in a public concert two of the other songs. This year happens to be the 20th Anniversary of the first TV appearance of the Bananas on Australia’s ABC TV network. From then on their popularity spread worldwide and down under they became national icons. In the closing ceremony of the 2000 Olympic Games Sydney, the Bananas had their own float. With the London games starting in a few weeks it is a good time to recall Carey’s contribution to the Olympic movement as 2012 is the 80th Anniversary of his birth. Carey lived in The Drive, and elsewhere in Beckenham from 1932 to 1965. In the late 1940’s his first gigs took place in the hall of Elm Road Baptist Church – the ‘headquarters’ of the Beckenham Junior Choir and Youth Voices. Carey’s secondary education was in the Beckenham & Penge County School in Penge where his first performances with professional artists took place in the Grand Hall of the school. 3 3. THE HAPPY WANDERER In this series of ‘famous concerts’ it is usual to include some of the pieces chosen by or related to the performers and The Happy Wanderer is the choice of choice of the Beckenham Junior Choir. In singalong, their latest Newsletter it shows that in the 12 months to 1st December this year, they will have performed in six different venues - happy wanderers indeed. 4. MARCHING STRINGS TV viewers today can enjoy a dozen or more quiz programmes ranging from University Challenge to Eggheads. But in the 1940’s and 1950’s, before television became available, the longest radio quiz programmes was Top of The Form. The questions were set by a T.W. (Tom) Williams a master at the Beckenham & Penge County School. The signature tune – which will be familiar to older members of the audience - was Marching Strings, to be performed this evening on the organ by Christian Strover. 5. DRIVING IN THE PARK WITH YOU Taken from Lehar’s opera, The Merry Widow, this duet is the first of two songs chosen to celebrate the 90th Anniversary of the Beckenham Festival, one of the largest amateur competitive performing arts festivals in the south-east of England. It is held in November every year and there are around 500 classes in Music, Dancing and Speech & Drama, with specialist adjudicators in all sections. This year the Festival will be held at Marian Vian Primary School, Beckenham; Harris Academy Beckenham (formerly Kelsey Park School); St. George’s Church, Beckenham; and St. James’ Church, Elmers End. Driving in the Park this evening is performed by three Festival people - baritone Paul Allen, Soprano Jean Low, and their piano accompanist, Christian Strover. Between them they have chalked up over a century of involvement as competitors and/or administrators. This can be very rewarding as they get to know competitors who go on to great success in their chosen career. For example, the Beckenham Festival Musician of the Year 2011 (current) - Laura van der Heijden (Cello) won the recent BBC Young Musician 2012. And the Festival Musician of the Year 2009 and 2010 (and also a finalist in 2011) - Charlotte Barbour-Condini (Recorder) was also one of the three finalists in the BBC Young Musician 2012. 6. HORNPIPE HUMOURESQUE To mark the centenary of the Penge Congregational Church this year, Christian Strover is playing the hugely entertaining piece by Noel Rawsthorne. As something of a tour de force, it will allow Christian to demonstrate the versatility of the Church’s organ. The church acoustics are superb and it is appropriate that in this much used concert venue there is a fine stained glass window depicting St Cecilia, the patron saint of music. The church building has been described as Romanesque in style and its elevated situation and tower dominate Penge High Street. During its 100 year history the Church has been at the centre of the Penge community. This role was reinforced from 1929 when the Beckenham & Penge County School for Boys moved into a brand new building opposite. Major school services, concerts and other 4 gathering s took place in the church. The history of the school tells of ‘a most spectacular choral performance of the singing of Handel's anthem "Zadok the Priest" at the Coronation service held in the Church on May 28th, 1953. This was sung by a choir of 250 first and second trebles, 100 altos, 50 baritones and 300 bases, and a recording was made and sold as a souvenir.’ 7. SWEET & SOUR RAG This very popular piece by Carey Blyton has been performed in public many times, including the Beckenham’s Famous Concert 2008 concert in Christ Church, Beckenham. It was also included Carey’s official 80th Anniversary Concert, in The Warehouse, by Waterloo Station on May 19th this year. 8. 7 DAYS A WEEK This is the choice of the children of the Royston Primary School Choir for their solo number. In preparing to take part in this evening’s concert the children have discovered Carey Blyton and the legacy past down to them by the other notable pupils and teachers of the Beckenham & Penge County School for whom the school was built in 1929. The County School moved to Langley Park in 1969. 9. TOP HAT, WHITE TIE AND TAILS Irving Berlin’s music for the for the 1935 film Top Hat , played by the Crystal Palace band celebrates the renowned team of ballroom dancers that Frank & Peggy Spencer trained in their Ballroom in Royston Road, Penge. The music was selected by Peggy Spencer in memory of her late husband, Frank who often wore a white tie to associate himself with Fred Astaire who starred in the film, recently adapted for the stage – see advert for the show at the Aldwych Theatre in London. Peggy and Frank (a musician and a top-class dancer in pre-war days) ran the Royston Ballroom for decades. Peggy was a regular TV dance commentator and a leading coach for competitive Latin dancers. Her formation team twice danced for the Queen at Buckingham Palace and for 40 years her teams appeared in the Come Dancing TV programme. 10. THREE MOODS Op 13 Carey Blyton composed this violin music for one of his mentors at the Boys County School, Hugh Bean. Carey accompanied Hugh in the first performance in the 2nd Beckenham Salon Concert, room in the Old Council Offices, by the Beckenham Public Hall in 1952. This evening we shall hear the third movement Poco Allegro-Gajo. 5 11. DOWNTOWN The composer Tony Hatch lived in Shortlands Road, Beckenham for six years and knew Beckenham well. He worked closely with Petula Clark (a frequent visitor to the concert halls hereabouts in the 1940s) who made the first recording of Downtown. Many of the words of the song evoke the time and place of both Penge and Beckenham in the 1960s. 12. ENGLAND SWINGS This is another tribute to Petula Clark (see photo). It is her 80th Anniversary this year. Though not resident of our area, Petula (pictured) starred in films made by Beckenham’s Betty Box, including Don't Ever Leave Me in 1949. Now we are in the GLA area we are all Londoners, so the title and opening words of this number are very appropriate: England swings like a pendulum do Bobbies on bicycles, two by two Westminster Abbey, the tower of Big Ben 13. FRANKENSTEIN Frankenstein is the third in Carey Blyton’s trilogy of Victorian style melodramas. The BJC/YV have performed the other two: Dracula – in costume in St George’s Church in 2002 and Sweeney Todd (in this church in 2008).

  • From Real Time to Reel Time: the Films of John Schlesinger
    From Real Time to Reel Time: The Films of John Schlesinger A study of the change from objective realism to subjective reality in British cinema in the 1960s By Desmond Michael Fleming Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy November 2011 School of Culture and Communication Faculty of Arts The University of Melbourne Produced on Archival Quality Paper Declaration This is to certify that: (i) the thesis comprises only my original work towards the PhD, (ii) due acknowledgement has been made in the text to all other material used, (iii) the thesis is fewer than 100,000 words in length, exclusive of tables, maps, bibliographies and appendices. Abstract The 1960s was a period of change for the British cinema, as it was for so much else. The six feature films directed by John Schlesinger in that decade stand as an exemplar of what those changes were. They also demonstrate a fundamental change in the narrative form used by mainstream cinema. Through a close analysis of these films, A Kind of Loving, Billy Liar, Darling, Far From the Madding Crowd, Midnight Cowboy and Sunday Bloody Sunday, this thesis examines the changes as they took hold in mainstream cinema. In effect, the thesis establishes that the principal mode of narrative moved from one based on objective realism in the tradition of the documentary movement to one which took a subjective mode of narrative wherein the image on the screen, and the sounds attached, were not necessarily a record of the external world. The world of memory, the subjective world of the mind, became an integral part of the narrative.

  • Gb 1456 Thomas
    GERALD THOMAS COLLECTION GERALD THOMAS COLLECTION SCOPE AND CONTENT Documents relating to the career of director GERALD THOMAS (Born Hull 10/12/1920, died Beaconsfield 9/11/1993). When Gerald Thomas died, his producer partner of 40 years Peter Rogers said: ‘His epitaph will be that he directed all the Carry On films.’ Indeed, for an intense 20-year period Thomas directed the Carry On gang through their innuendo laden exploits, and became responsible, along with Rogers, for creating one of the most enduring and endearing British film series, earning him his place in British popular culture. Thomas originally studied to become a doctor, before war service with the Royal Sussex Regiment put paid to his medical career. When demobilised in 1946, he took a job as assistant in the cutting rooms of Two Cities Films at Denham Studios, where he took Assistant Editor credits on Laurence Olivier’s Hamlet (1948) and the John Mills thriller The October Man (1947). In 1949, he received his first full credit as editor, on the Margaret Lockwood melodrama Madness of the Heart (1949). During this time Peter Rogers had been working as associate producer with his wife, producer Betty Box, on such films as It’s Not Cricket (1949) and Don’t Ever Leave Me (1949). It was Venetian Bird in 1952 that first brought Thomas and Rogers together; Thomas employed as editor by director brother Ralph, and Rogers part of the producer team with Betty Box. Rogers was keen to form a director/producer pairing (following the successful example of Box and Ralph Thomas), and so gave Gerald his first directing credit on the Circus Friends (1956), a Children’s Film Foundation production.

A further recording dated 16th October 1996 is also included towards the end of this transcript. Roy Fowler suggests this was as a result of his regular lunches with Roy Ward Baker, at which they decided that some matters covered needed further detail. [DS 2017] Interviewer Roy Fowler [RF]. This transcript is not verbatim. SIDE 1 TAPE 1 RF: When and where were you born? RWB: London in 1916 in Hornsey. RF: Did your family have any connection with the business you ultimately entered? RWB: None whatsoever, no history of it in the family. RF: Was it an ambition on your part or was it an accidental entry eventually into films? How did you come into the business? RWB: I was fairly lucky in that I knew exactly what I wanted to do or at least I thought I did. At the age of something like fourteen I’d had rather a chequered upbringing in an educa- tional sense and lived in a lot of different places. I had been taken to see silent movies when I was a child It was obviously premature because usually I was carried out in scream- ing hysterics. There was one famous one called The Chess Player which was very dramatic and German and all that. I had no feeling for films. I had seen one or two Charlie Chaplin films which people showed at children's parties in those days on a 16mm projector.

  • War Cinema– Or How British Films Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Affluent Society
    1 THE PROFESSIONAL OFFICER CLASS IN POST- WAR CINEMA– OR HOW BRITISH FILMS LEARNED TO STOP WORRYING AND LOVE THE AFFLUENT SOCIETY A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Andrew Roberts College of Business, Arts and Social Sciences of Brunel University 22nd September2014 2 ABSTRACT My central argument is that mainstream British cinema of the 1951 – 1965 period marked the end of the paternalism, as exemplified by a professional ‘officer class’, as consumerism gradually came to be perceived as the norm as opposed to a post-war enemy. The starting point is 1951, the year of the Conservative victory in the General Election and a time which most films were still locally funded. The closing point is 1965, by which point the vast majority of British films were funded by the USA and often featured a youthful and proudly affluent hero. Thus, this fourteen year describes how British cinema moved away from the People as Hero guided by middle class professionals in the face of consumerism. Over the course of this work, I will analyse the creation of the archetypes of post-war films and detail how the impact of consumerism and increased Hollywood involvement in the UK film industry affected their personae. However, parallel with this apparently linear process were those films that questioned or attacked the wartime consensus model. As memories of the war receded, and the Rank/ABPC studio model collapsed, there was an increasing sense of deracination across a variety of popular British cinematic genres. From the beginning of our period there is a number films that infer that the “Myth of the Blitz”, as developed in a cinematic sense, was just that and our period ends with films that convey a sense of a fragmenting society.

DOI: https://doi.org/10.7227/FS.16.0004 © 2017 Author(s). Published by Manchester University Press. 1 Roundtable: the Position of Women in Post-War Japanese Cinema Alejandra Armendáriz-Hernández (Universidad Rey Juan Carlos, Madrid) Irene González-López (University of London) Introduction Western film thinking, by which we mean European and North American, dominates the canonical histories of cinema and film theory, as well as the academic discipline of Film Studies. The hegemony of Western thought is particularly evident and problematic in the study of non-Western cinemas, such as that of Japan, which have traditionally been mere objects over which some scholars have applied or demonstrated the effectiveness of Western theories without any critical interrogation of the power relations at work in the production of knowledge. As studied by Yoshimoto Mitsuhiro, 1 Japanese cinema occupies a complex position in this asymmetrical relationship between Western theory and non-Western cinemas and cultures.2 Through the authorial figures of Japanese directors such as Kurosawa Akira (1910-1998), Mizoguchi Kenji (1898-1956) and Ozu Yasujirō (1903-1963), Japanese cinema was one of the first non-Western national cinemas to be appreciated and theorised in the West.3 Moreover, the study of Japanese films ‘played a significant role in the establishment of film studies as a discrete discipline’,4 hence legitimising the idea of cinema’s universal value and consolidating the auteuristic approach in film studies.
