  • “If Music Be the Food of Love, Play On
    What’s in a Name? As Shakespeare had Juliet say, “That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.” Maybe so, but in New Orleans there’s more to a name than meets the ear. The Crescent City is home to many sweet-sounding names, especially those of its ladies. What could be more beautiful names than those of Voudou practitioner Marie Laveau or sarong siren Dorothy Lamour? Actually Dorothy was born Mary Leta Dorothy Slaton, but her parents’ marriage lasted only a few years. Her mother re-married a man named Clarence Lambour, and Dorothy took his last name. Lambour became Lamour, a much better choice in that it oozes love (toujours l’amour). She took it along with her on all those “Road” pictures with Bob Hope and Bing Crosby. Dorothy Lamour (1914 – 1996), New Orleans’ own siren in a sarong Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame after having recorded over 60 singles for the Imperial label, placing 40 songs in the R&B top 10 charts and 11 top 10 singles on the pop charts, Antoine Dominique “Fats” Domino, Jr. is a New Orleans musical legend with a Creole name to match. It flows from the lips mellifluously like a beignet washed down with café au lait. A sure sign that a name has star potential is the fact that someone has tried, in some way, to usurp its power. In the case of “Fats”, American Bandstand host Dick Clark’s wife Barbara took the name, changed it around ever so slightly and bestowed a new name to an up-and-coming Rock and Roll personality.

    Speaking the Self: Cinema of Transgression Flaming Creatures “At once primitive and sophisticated, hilarious and poignant, spontaneous and studied, frenzied and languid, crude and delicate, avant and nostalgic, gritty and fanciful, fresh and faded, innocent and jaded, high and low, raw and cooked, underground and camp, black and white and white on white, composed and decomposed, richly perverse and gloriously impoverished, Flaming Creatures was something new. Had Jack Smith produced nothing other than this amazing artifice, he would still rank among the great visionaries of American film.” [J. Hoberman] Jack Smith: Flaming Creatures, 1963 • Writer, performance artist, actor. Classic “downtown” underground personality. • Smith endorsed a realm of “secret flix” ranging from B-grade horror movies to Maureen O'Hara Spanish Galleon films, from Busby Berkeley musicals to Dorothy Lamour sarong movies. Singled out Universal Pictures' “Queen of Technicolor,” Maria Montez, star of exotic adventure films such as Arabian Nights (1942), Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves (1944), and Cobra Woman (1944). • Loose tableau set to scratchy needle-drop music: “polymorphous perverse.” • Banned in New York state, 1964. Vigorous defense by Susan Sontag and others. Outsiders • David Lynch: “John Waters opened up an important space for all of us.” Pink Flamingos • Why has this work come to be celebrated? Midnight Movie shock value or esthetic/cultural importance? • What role does this film play in the lives of its actors? • Film as an esthetic experience vs. film as a liberatory social rallying cry. Compare to punk music. • How does this film address its audience? How might “specific, historical audiences” read this differently? Outsiders “The term camp—normally used as an adjective, even though earliest recorded uses employed it mainly as a verb—refers to the deliberate and sophisticated use of kitsch, mawkish or corny themes and styles in art, clothing or conversation.

    PRESS RELEASE – March 26, 2018 Susan Carrier (951) 551-5363 [email protected] HHT ANNOUNCES NEW SEASON OF TRIBUTES It was a night of celebration last Saturday at the Historic Hemet Theatre. Balloons and champagne were on hand for the announcement that the purchase of the vintage movie house was complete and that the HHT Foundation finally holds the title on behalf of the valley community. For five years, volunteers, donors and patrons have joined together to build a Community Arts Center that would energize Hemet's Downtown District and preserve this treasured valley landmark. With this milestone, that dream is now reality. It was also the night to announce the line-up for the next season of Tribute Mania Concerts. By the end of the evening, hundreds of tickets had been scooped up by fans determined to ensure their seats for the next group of concerts. The limited number of Season Tickets were particularly popular since they will be the first to sell out.

  • Bob Hope at the National Press Club, July 8, 1980
    Bob Hope at the National Press Club, July 8, 1980 Bob Hope (right) with White House photographer Andrew J. “Buck” May (left), July 1980. National Press Club Archives Comedian Bob Hope (1903-2003) treated journalists at a National Press Club luncheon on July 8, 1980, to jokes he planned to deliver later in the week during performances at Washington’s Kennedy Center Concert Hall. As part of a summer tour that coincided with the 1980 presidential election campaign, Hope’s appearances at the Press Club and Kennedy Center gave audiences the opportunity to hear the legendary funnyman gently, but pointedly, skewer those in power, a talent he had perfected since Franklin D. Roosevelt’s presidency. When Hope appeared in March 1944 at the White House Correspondents Association dinner at the Statler Hotel—the annual political roast hosted by the Washington press corps—and left Roosevelt roaring with laughter, the syndicated columnist Richard Wilson announced that a new era had begun. “The gap left by the death of [political humorist] Will Rogers has been filled,” Wilson wrote. “Bob Hope has stepped into his shoes. From now on he will be sought in Washington to provide that extra touch at the capital’s lavish public functions.” Hope’s Press Club appearance came during the final phases of a career that spanned most of the twentieth century. The entertainment historian and critic Leonard Maltin has noted that Hope “may be the most popular entertainer in the history of Western civilization.” A versatile performer—in addition to comedy, he excelled as a singer and dancer—Hope began in vaudeville in the 1920s, gained prominence on the Broadway musical stage during the 1930s, and became one of the nation’s top radio 1 and movie stars in the 1940s.

Puttin’ on the Glitz: Hollywood’s Influence on Fashion examines the major impact that Hollywood had and continues to have over fashion. This exciting exhibit highlights films and designers from Hollywood’s golden years through the 20th century, all presented within a historical context. Items on display include significant books, journals, images, videos, and movie posters from the Libraries’ collections, and stunning costumes from UCI’s drama department. The curator is Becky Imamoto, Research Librarian for History. I hope you enjoy the exhibit and return to view others in the future. Gerald L. Lowell Interim University Librarian - 3 - this exhibit examines the history of Hollywood costume design from its inception to the end of the 20th century. In the early 1910s, costume design was little more than an afterthought, with silent screen actresses providing costumes from their personal wardrobes. However, during the Golden Age (1930- 1959), Hollywood realized how much publicity and money could be generated through its promotion of new fashion designs, and so set to work building an image of splendor, luxury, and endless consumption. Hollywood was, and is, a powerful social force that determines what is considered by the rest of the world to be beautiful and glamorous.

  • “I Look Sexy-But Sweet”: Notes on Mario and Maria Montez
    “I look Sexy-but Sweet”: Notes on Mario and Maria Montez Mediático is delighted to present below an essay on Latina star of the 1940s Maria Montez, and Warhol superstar and drag pioneer Mario Montez by Roberto Ortiz, an independent scholar. He is working on a book on female stardom in classic Mexican cinema and another on Latino icons and camp stardom (Intellect) that will dedicate a chapter to Maria Montez.” “I adopted my name from her. She does everything with such fire—nothing is pretended.” –Mario Montez, 1967 “I am sick and tired of those [publicity] photographs. They make me look like a smoldering fire.” –Maria Montez, 1944 I must have first come across the name of Mario Montez (1935-2013) sometime during grad school, but I didn’t really pay attention to his work until much later, following a casual conversation with a scholar who had written about him. He spoke admiringly of José Rodriguez-Soltero’s little-seen 1966 film Life, Death and Assumption of Lupe Velez and fondly of meeting its star, Mario Montez. When he described him, the adjective that stuck to my mind was “sweet,” a word that I did not associate with being a member of New York City’s queer underground arts scene in the 1960s. I was reminded of that last year while reading film critic J. Hoberman’s obituary of Mario Montez :“Mario was a sweet, unassuming, modest man, and once he went into character, every inch a star” (2013). Hoberman’s words also brought to mind a 1944 profile describing Dominican movie star Maria Montez (1912-1951), after whom Mario took his stage name: “She is a junior Dietrich, a sultrier Lamour.
