  • David M. Parry* MILTON RUBINCAM Thirty Years Ago One of the Titans of Indiana Industry Was David Maclean Parry of Indianapolis
    David M. Parry* MILTON RUBINCAM Thirty years ago one of the Titans of Indiana industry was David Maclean Parry of Indianapolis. Few men in the Hoosier State had risen to such an exalted position in the business world, or had enjoyed more the confidence of the political and financial leaders of the nation. His course in life was steadily upward. The author of a biographical sketch aptly wrote: The record of Mr. Parry’s life shows that from the time he was fifteen years of age his career has been marked by a series of successes -never of a failure. He disclosed from the first, self-reliance- obstacles were overcome as they appeared. His head and his heart and his hands were always in harmonious alliance. Under his masterful mind order and system predominated. 1 Inasmuch as we are all the products of our ancestors, his success may be ascribed in part to his heredity. Towards the close of the eighteenth century, there lived in Wales a civil engineer of “uncommon ability” named Henry Parry. This man resolved to try his luck in America. He accordingly settled in Pennsylvania where he followed his occupation. During the War of 1812 he is said to have served as an artilleryman. Afterwards he became a wheelwright and carpenter and built the first courthouse in Pennsylvania west of the Alleghany Mountains. According to family records, his wife was Sarah, the youngest daughter of Brigadier-Gen- era1 John Cadwalader, Pennsylvania Militia, of Revolutionary fame. This union allied him to some of the foremost families of the Keystone State, while his brother-in-law was a British Peer, the second Baron Erskine.

  • 1 “What Sells? Gender in American Print Advertising in the 1950S”
    1 “What Sells? Gender in American Print Advertising in the 1950s” Elana Kelber Lamp L216 “Besides being about appearances, advertising is about gender. Gender is part of its social structure and its psychology. Gender conditions our response to what we see and helps us decide what to buy.”1 The aforementioned quotation is from Putting On Appearances: Gender and Advertising, by Diane Barthel. At the end of her book, Barthel concludes: “It is too obvious, too easy, a matter of killing the messenger instead of dealing with the bad news. The people who have created modern advertising are not hidden persuaders pushing our buttons in the service of some malevolent purpose. They are just producing an especially visible manifestation, good and bad, of the American way of life.”2 This essay attempts to delve further into such claims. The first claim is investigated by examining constructs of gender, both masculine and feminine, within magazine print advertising, specifically in Playboy, Gentleman’s Quarterly (GQ, Cosmopolitan, and Ebony. To consider the second, the scope of the advertisements studied is limited to the era of the 1950s in order to study the extent to which the constructs portrayed reflected American cultural norms at the time, perpetuated such norms, or created new perceptions and norms. Choosing the 1950s as the era in which to study at first came out of a desire for convenience in finding a wide range of advertisements across class, age, and race. However, this proved quite inconvenient (though interesting) when, upon research, the complexities of the decade gradually unfolded. If one can imagine America as a playground, it becomes evident that the see-saw best represents the complications of defining gender in the 1950s, for the era was tensely divided over what constituted masculinity and femininity.

  • Michel Gondry Regis Dialogue Formatted
    Michel Gondry Dialogue with Jonathan Rosenbaum, 2007 Jonathan Rosenbaum: We're at the Walker Art Center for a Regis Dialogue with filmmaker Michel Gondry. We'll be talking about his love of cinema, his humor and his artistic vision. Michel Gondry's films, from his music videos to his feature films, employ technical wizardry involving various kinds of special effects, animation and intricate narrative set-ups. He leaves plenty of room for his playfulness and irreverent satire. Jonathan Rosenbaum: I'm Jonathan Rosenbaum of the Chicago Reader, and I will be your guide through Michel Gondry's work. We'll now begin the Regis Dialogue with Michel Gondry. Jonathan Rosenbaum: Thank you all for coming. This is the second time I'm doing a Regis Dialogue. The first time was 14 years ago with Jim Jarmusch and it's worth mentioning that ... Well, first that Jim Jarmusch has been a friend of mine for 25 years. Michel, I met 10 minutes ago. He's had a very difficult day. He got caught in New York traffic and had I believe three separate trips to the airport, so I'll try to make my questions not too difficult. Jonathan Rosenbaum: I think one thing that's really interesting though about the connection with Jim Jarmusch is, first of all, Jim is a big fan of his work and I believe that you've worked with Jim Jarmusch. Michel Gondry: Yeah, we met through The White Stripes. We both did a remix of this song, Blue Orchid, from their last album and we did a mock up of that cover with him and I.
