  • Dionne Quintuplets: Unsuccessful Experiment of a Noble Society
    AD AMERICAM Journal of American Studies Vol. 9, 2008 ISSN 1896-9461 ISBN 978-83-233-2689-2 Magdalena Paluszkiewicz-Misiaczek DIONNE QUINTUPLETS: UNSUCCESSFUL EXPERIMENT OF A NOBLE SOCIETY The famous Dionne quintuplets： Annette, Emilie, Yvonne, Cecille and Marie were bom in Canada on May 28, 1934. The girls became national celebrities, wards of the state in a special hospital-home, studied constantly by doctors and scientists. The paper describes Dionne girls’ life story in the context of Anglophone-Francophone tensions and the ever present question： how far can state interfere in the lives of their citizens and when such interference proves to be harmful what kind of compensation measures should be imple­ mented? Life story of Dionne Quintuplets even now, over seven decades after their birth, reads like a sensation which could make the headlines of tabloid press. Yet, below this superficial layer of sheer sensation life story of the famous five sisters remains tightly knit with certain meanders of Canadian history with Anglophone- Francophone tensions and the ever present question: how far can state interfere in the lives of their citizens and when such interference proves to be harmful what kind of compensation measures should be implemented? The famous quintuplets: Annette, Emilie, Yvonne, Cecille and Marie Dionne were born on May 28, 1934 on a farm near Callender or, as some sources state, near Cor- beil, Northern Ontario, Canada. The chances of having one egg, identical quintuplets are one in 57 million, and so far no other set of identical quintuplets has been born. In 1934 the chances that the children would survive were probably similar, as they were born two months prematurely, so small that they could be held in a human palm and their total weight together was only 6.5 kg.

  • Iimillion Dollar Babies" and the National
    IIMillion Dollar Babies" and the National ~--- 11 "L7S~"11 .l~1147 My concern in what follows will be with the family as "national treasure." Taking the event of Million Dollar Babies, a made-far-TV movie (1994) about the Dionne quints-world-famous for being the first quintuplets to survive more than a couple of days -I will investigate the "family­ rama" that surrounded the birth of the French-Canadian sisters in the 1930s as well as its repre­ sentation in the 1990s. That investigation will be informed by two main points. A first line of questioning addresses how the quints served as an emblem of the commodification of femininity in the representation of the Canadian nation; a second line of investigation offers a critical stance from which to interrogate the cultural links between sexuality and colonialism and women's role as breeders of the nation within this narrative. Million Dollar Babies: A stunt? Why another movie about the quints sixty years after their birth? Cinema already has its share with three Hollywood films produced by Twentieth Century Fox1 and miles of newsreel shot by Pathe. Media and magazine covers have displayed over 100,000 pictures of the famous darlings and advertising campaigns for a multitude of commodities including Carnation Milk, Colgate's Dental Cream, and Remington typewriters have used their image. Finally, the Dionne quints are no longer five, but three -The Dionne Trio. After a pile of scientific, popular and academic papers have been written about them, and a recent special issue of the Journal of Canadian Studies2 was entirely devoted to their sixtieth anniversary, the made-for-TV movie came as the icing on the cele­ bratory cake of this "classic of Canadian history" (as the network voice-over proclaimed at each commercial break).

  • In 1925, Eight Actors Were Dedicated to a Dream. Expatriated from Their Broadway Haunts by Constant Film Commitments, They Wante
    In 1925, eight actors were dedicated to a dream. Expatriated from their Broadway haunts by constant film commitments, they wanted to form a club here in Hollywood; a private place of rendezvous, where they could fraternize at any time. Their first organizational powwow was held at the home of Robert Edeson on April 19th. ”This shall be a theatrical club of love, loy- alty, and laughter!” finalized Edeson.

  • The Swedish Film and Post-War American Films 1938
    THE MUSEUM OF MODERN ART 14 WEST 49TH STREET, NEW YORK TEUEPHONE: CIRCLE 7-7470 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Legends to the contrary notwithstanding, the negative of Erich von Stroheim's much-discussed film, Greed, has been preserved in Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's vaults and it has therefore been possible to include this celebrated "masterpiece of realism" in the Museum of Modern Art Film Libraryfs current Series IV, The Swedish Film and Post-War American Films, Greed will be shown to Museum members on Wednesday, February 23rd, at 8:45 P.M. in the auditorium of the American Museum of Natural History, 77th Street and Central Park West. Thereafter it will be available to students of the film in i colleges and museums throughout the country. Greed, a faithful transcription into pictorial terms of Frank Norris1 novel, "McTeague," was created under unusual circumstances and met with a curious fate. It was not made in a studio, but on location in San Francisco. Whole blocks and houses were purchased as settings , walls knocked out to make the photography of real in­ teriors practicable. Every detail of the novel was reproduced at considerable expense of time and money, with a passionate and un­ compromising care for veracity. Eventually von Stroheim offered his producers his finished work, a final cut print twenty reels long which he proposed they should issue in two parts, and which bore no perceptible trace of those elements usually reckoned as "box office. The film was taken from him, cut down to the present ten reel ver­ sion and so released.

    The Museum of Modern Art For Immediate Release May 1994 MGM 70 YEARS: REDISCOVERIES AND CLASSICS June 24 - September 30, 1994 A retrospective celebrating the seventieth anniversary of Metro-Goldwyn- Mayer, the legendary Hollywood studio that defined screen glamour and elegance for the world, opens at The Museum of Modern Art on June 24, 1994.

  • American Heritage Center
    UNIVERSITY OF WYOMING AMERICAN HERITAGE CENTER GUIDE TO ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY RESOURCES Child actress Mary Jane Irving with Bessie Barriscale and Ben Alexander in the 1918 silent film Heart of Rachel. Mary Jane Irving papers, American Heritage Center. Compiled by D. Claudia Thompson and Shaun A. Hayes 2009 PREFACE When the University of Wyoming began collecting the papers of national entertainment figures in the 1970s, it was one of only a handful of repositories actively engaged in the field. Business and industry, science, family history, even print literature were all recognized as legitimate fields of study while prejudice remained against mere entertainment as a source of scholarship. There are two arguments to be made against this narrow vision. In the first place, entertainment is very much an industry. It employs thousands. It requires vast capital expenditure, and it lives or dies on profit. In the second place, popular culture is more universal than any other field. Each individual’s experience is unique, but one common thread running throughout humanity is the desire to be taken out of ourselves, to share with our neighbors some story of humor or adventure. This is the basis for entertainment. The Entertainment Industry collections at the American Heritage Center focus on the twentieth century. During the twentieth century, entertainment in the United States changed radically due to advances in communications technology. The development of radio made it possible for the first time for people on both coasts to listen to a performance simultaneously. The delivery of entertainment thus became immensely cheaper and, at the same time, the fame of individual performers grew.

The Jean Hersholt Collection of Anderseniana at the Library of Congress by Kristi Johnson and Taru Spiegel Introduction Hans Christian Andersen was already well known in the United States during his lifetime. Though he wanted to meet his American admirers, fear of accidents at sea kept Andersen from crossing the Atlantic. Three quarters of a century after the author's death, another Dane ensured that a part of Andersen's legacy would remain permanently in America. The Danish American actor, author, and humanitarian, Jean Hersholt, together with his Danish­ born wife, Via, donated a treasure trove of Anderseniana to the Library of Congress in 1951. The Library's preeminent collection of Scandinavian materials is often overlooked amidst the institution's 130 million items in more than 400 languages. Andersen scholars in the United States, however, may want to explore the American Hersholt riches before venturing overseas for their research.

  • Hollywood: Her Story July 2021 Enewsletter Patriotic Movies
    Hollywood: Her Story July 2021 ENewsletter Patriotic Movies On July 4th, we celebrated Independence Day and the ideals of the founders of the United States of America. For our newsletter this month, we decided to focus on the female filmmakers and stars of the movies that told us patriotic stories about events and people that strove to achieve those ideals – that all men and women are created equal and that they are endowed with the unalienable rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. In the 1939 movie Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, Jimmy Stewart played a newly- appointed U.S. Senator who fought corruption, aided by his seasoned and capable secretary, played by Jean Arthur. The movie was nominated for eleven Academy Awards, winning the Best Original Story Oscar, and was selected in 1989 for the National Film Registry at the Library of Congress. Arthur began her movie career in the silent film era and was named a WAMPAS Baby Star in 1929. She was a major film star during the 1930s and 1940s and her career continued into the decade of the 1950s. Her standard character was a tough working woman who had a heart of gold. Arthur was nominated for a 1944 Best Actress Oscar for her work in The More the Merrier. Her final movie role was as the homesteader’s wife inS hane, the only color film in which she appeared and the biggest box office movie of her career. The 1992 movie A League of Their Own, directed by Penny Marshall, has a story told by flashback to 1943.
