These films revisit conventions established by a cycle of Hollywood films from the 1920s that romantically depict the Jewish son as able to successfully assimilate into dominant American culture while maintaining a vital and nurturing connection to his Jewish family and community back home. Through close readings of the two postwar Garfield films, Humoresque (1946) and Body and Soul (1947), along with comparisons to some of the 1920s Hollywood Jewish family melodramas, I discuss how the actor's expressions of pent-up anger, vulnerability, cold disillusionment and brimming sexuality problematize the earlier Hollywood depictions of the assimilating Jewish son.

These ethnic working class roots would continually be associated with his star persona. While working at the Warner Bros. studio, his screen roles would follow the mould of the ethnic street tough defined by the likes of James Cagney and Edward G. Robinson. Non-filmic materials—such as fan magazines and film reviews—would also reference GarfiekTs Lower East Side roots and help authenticate his onscreen characters. Upon the release of Garfield's first film, Four Daughters (1938), where he played cynical street kid Mickey Borden, critic Bosley Crowther would muse about the source of Garfield's "difference" from other Hollywood stars: "Maybe [it] is because of his not-far-removed background—New York's Lower East Side and the Bronx."1 In his films at Warner Bros.—as well as the few pictures he made as loan-outs while locked into a sometimes oppressive contract to this studio—he almost always portrayed the working-class generic ethnic. But in four films made after the war—Humoresque (1946), Gentleman's Agreement (1947). Body and Soul (1947) and Force of Evil (1948)—Garfield portrayed specifically Jewish men. Although only two of these films would specify his character's Jewish roots, all four can be easily read as Jewish texts at least by the nature of the characters' family relations, the characters' predilection toward social collectivity as well as 1 Bosley Crowther, "A Man Who Means to Make a Dent," New York Times. December 18, 1938, sec. 9. clues provided by occasional Yiddish inflections spoken by secondary characters and locales such as the Lower East Side. In this paper, I contextualize GarfieWs Jewish characterizations by comparing his Jewish films of the mid-forties with a cycle of Hollywood films of the 1920s that explicitly explored Jewish assimilation and the American Jewish family. Perhaps the best known of these early films is Warner Bros.' The Jazz Singer (1927). Although these early silent films focus on generational conflict within the Jewish family—with the children wishing to break away from the parochialism and poverty of their old-world parents and embrace the promise of upward mobility in the New World—they also emphasized the need to maintain familial and communal ties in the face of such assimilation. And in the end, many of these films suggest that the Jewish son is able to achieve success and assimilation in America while maintaining a vital connection to his Jewish family and the immigrant community back home, with the mother providing the key link to these roots. In contrast to many of the Jewish sons in these 1920s ghetto melodramas, GarfieWs screen characters are often alienated from a nurturing support net that the Jewish family provides in these earlier films. First appearing during the second half of the Depression, his screen persona dramatizes the emotional and moral isolation felt by such an absence. In most of John GarfieWs prewar and wartime films, when playing the generic working-class ethnic, this vulnerability was worked into the narrative by håving the actor play orphans, men who are forced to grow up on their own in the streets. But when playing specifically Jewish sons in the mid-forties, GarfieWs dynamic expressions of pent-up anger, vulnerability, cold disillusionment and brimming sexuality reinterpret these earlier Hollywood stories of the Jewish son lost between two worlds and update them for an audience that had been weathered by the Depression 2 I Page and the spread of fascism. More specifically, the Jewish sons played by Garfield question the ability to have it both ways—success in America while maintaining a nurturing connection to the people and values of the family. In this thesis, I pursue close readings of two of these Jewish films, Humoresque and Body and Soul, which resemble those early Jewish ghetto melodramas. In the first chapter, I discuss a few of the films that Garfield made in the prewar and wartime years. On screen, Garfield is caught between the ideals of brashness, toughness and independence (as expected of the Warner street tough character type) and feelings of alienation and vulnerability. These two aspects of his screen persona become reconciled through the New Deal and wartime ethos of social collectivity, and also through the emphasis on reason—as opposed to impulsive aggression—that is part of Garfield's screen persona in several of his earliest films. Here, I will discuss three early Garfield films—Four Daughters (1938), Garfield's screen debut, Thev Made Me a Criminal (1939), the actor's first starring role at Warner Bros., and The Fallen Sparrow (1943), a wartime spy film he made while loaned out to RKO—and how they depict and reconcile the traits of independence, toughness, rationality and vulnerability. It is these competing traits that the Jewish sons played by Garfield try to reconcile in Humoresque and Body and Soul. I will end this chapter by briefly discussing how these traits are used and modified for the intentions of Darryl Zanuck and Elia Kazan's Gentleman's Agreement (1947) and the film's image of the Jew. In the second chapter, I compare Frank Borzage's 1920 film adaptation of Fannie Hursfs short story, "Humoresque"—as well as the significant cycle of silent Jewish ghetto dramas that it spawned—with the 1946 remake starring John Garfield. While the Garfield version does make major changes to the original story, the later remake—along with Body and Soul—share 3 f P a g e commonalities with these earlier silent films in terms of narrative structure and themes of assimilation and social mobility. These later Garfield Jewish ghetto melodramas also revisit the archetypes that were depicted in these early silent films; Patricia Erens defines these as "the Stern Patriarch, the Prodigal Son, the Rose of the Ghetto... [and] the Long Suffering Mother."2 Both Hursfs original short story and the Borzage silent film centralize—and celebrate— the intimate

    CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY, NORTHRIDGE THE PREPARATION OF THE ROLE OF TOM MOODY IN CLIFFORD ODETS' GOLDEN BOY An essay submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Theatre by Robert T. Hollander June, 1981 The Essay of Robert T. Hollander is approved: Prof. c(§!g Nieuwenhuysel Dr. Georg~ Gunkle, Committee Chairman California State University, Northridge ii ABSTRACT THE PREPARATION OF THE ROLE OF TOM MOODY IN CLIFFORD ODETS' GOLDEN BOY by Robert T. Hollander Master of Arts in Theatre Golden Boy was first produced by the Group Theatre in New York in 1937. Directed by Harold Clurman, this 1937 production included in its cast names that were to become notable in the American theatre: Luther Adler, Frances Farmer, Lee J. Cobb, Jules (John) Garfield, Morris Carnovsky, Elia Kazan, Howard Da Silva and Karl Malden. Golden Boy quickly became the most successful production 1 in Group Theatre history and was followed in 1939 by the movie of the same name, starring William Holden and Barbara Stanwyck. Since then, there have been countless revivals, including a musical adaptation in 1964 which starred Sammy Davis Jr. Golden Boy certainly merits consideration as one of the classics of modern American drama. 1Harold Clurman, The Fervent Years: The Story of the Group Theatre and the Thirties.

A Harvest Book, 1975), p. 211. 1 2 The decision to prepare the character of Torn Moody as a thesis project under the direction of Dr. George Gunkle was made during the spring semester of 1980 at which time I was performing a major role in The Knight of the Burning Pestle, a seventeenth century farce written by Beaumont and Fletcher.

  • Awake and Sing! Study Guide/Lobby Packett Prepared by Sara Freeman, Dramaturg
    Awake and Sing! Study Guide/Lobby Packett Prepared by Sara Freeman, dramaturg Section I Clifford Odets: A Striving Life Clifford Odets was born in Philadelphia, on July 18, 1906, the son of a working-class Jewish family made good. Louis Odets, his father, had been a peddler, but also worked as a printer for a publishing company. In 1908, Louis Odets moved his family to New York City, where, after a brief return to Philadelphia, he prospered as a printer and ended up owning his own plant and an advertising agency, as well as serving as a Vice President of a boiler company. Odets grew up in the middle-class Bronx, not the Berger’s Bronx of tenements and squalor. Still Odets described himself as a “melancholy kid” who clashed often with his father. Odets quit high school after two years. When he was 17, Odets plunged into the theatre. He joined The Drawing Room Players and Harry Kemp’s Poets’ Theater. He wrote some radio plays, did summer stock, and hit the vaudeville circuit as “The Roving Reciter.” In 1929, he moved into the city because of a job understudying Spencer Tracy in Conflict on Broadway. A year later Odets joined the nascent Group Theatre, having met Harold Clurman and some of the other Group actors while playing bit parts at the Theatre Guild. The Group philosophy became the shaping force of Odets’ life as a writer. Clurman became his best friend and most perceptive critic. Odets wrote the first version of Awake and Sing!, then called I Got the Blues, in 1934.

Visalam Head, Department of English, Sri Muthukumaran Arts and Science College, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India Received: 31 Mar 2018 Accepted: 04 Apr 2018 Published: 07 Apr 2018 ABSTRACT American Plays had a tremendous response during 1930s and several genre of plays were staged at all corners of America and the Americans were fond of enacting and viewing the plays. The genre of plays will vary based on the American people mindset and the political situations. Several playwrights followed Hollywood techniques for writing their scripts. The role of playwright was found to be more vital than the role of an actor or the Director or the Production Company. The contribution of the playwrights during 1930s was considered to be a trend setting period in changing the roles of a writer from technician to becoming an artist. KEYWORDS : Playwright, Writer, Script, Actor, Play, Drama, Theatre INTRODUCTION During the 1930s, the playwrights followed Hollywood’s technique for paying writers for their scripts. Theatres such as Group Theatre and the Theatre Guild supported this idea to consider writers as autonomous artists whose function was very important than any other member of the company. The scripts were sold on the basis of their value, but they were written without the specific actor, particular director or any theatres in mind. Thus the Star System of Pre-World War came to an end, by giving importance to the playwright.

They are the only ratings that mean anything to the producer, director, player, and exhibitor. Gone—at least for years to come—are the days when known box office failures in the American market could be pushed to fabulous income heights and foisted on the suffering American exhibitor because of a shadowy "for¬ eign value.” Gone are the days—and we hope forever—when producers could know¬ ingly, and with "malice aforethought,” set out on the production of top budgetted pictures that would admittedly have no appeal to American mass audiences, earn no dimes for American exhibitors.

  • Steinhart Runaway Hollywood Chapter3
    Chapter 3 Lumière, Camera, Azione! the personnel and practices of hollywood’s mode of international production as hollywood filmmakers gained more experience abroad over the years, they devised various production strategies that could be shared with one another. A case in point: in May 1961, Vincente Minnelli was preparing the production of Two Weeks in Another Town (1962), part of which he planned to shoot in Rome. Hollywood flmmaker Jean Negulesco communicated with Minnelli, ofering some advice on work- ing in Italy, where Negulesco had directed portions of Tree Coins in the Fountain (1954) and Boy on a Dolphin (1957) and at the time was producing his next flm, Jessica (1962): I would say that the most difcult and the most important condition of mak- ing a picture in Italy is to adapt yourself to their spirit, to their way of life, to their way of working. A small example: Tis happened to me on location. As I arrive on the set and everything is ready to be done at 9 o’clock—the people are having cofee. Now, your assistant also is having cofee—and if you are foolish enough to start to shout and saying you want to work, right away you’ll have an unhappy crew and not the cooperation needed for the picture. But if you have cofee with them, they will work for you with no time limit or no extra expense.1 Negulesco’s letter underscores a key lesson that Hollywood moviemakers learned overseas when confronted with diferent working hours, production practices, and cultural customs.
