  • 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).

  • Selling Masculinity at Warner Bros.: William Powell, a Case Study
    Katie Walsh Selling Masculinity at Warner Bros.: William Powell, A Case Study Abstract William Powell became a star in the 1930s due to his unique brand of suave charm and witty humor—a quality that could only be expressed with the advent of sound film, and one that took him from mid-level player typecast as a villain, to one of the most popular romantic comedy leads of the era. His charm lay in the nonchalant sophistication that came naturally to Powell and that he displayed with ease both on screen and off. He was exemplary of the success of the new kind of star that came into their own during the transition to sound: sharp- or silver-tongued actors who were charming because of their way with words and not because of their silver screen faces. Powell also exercised a great deal of control over his publicity and star image, which is best examined during his short and failed tenure as a Warner Bros. during the advent of his rise to stardom. Despite holding a great amount of power in his billing and creative control, Powell was given a parade of cookie-cutter dangerous playboy roles, and the terms of his contract and salary were constantly in flux over the three years he spent there. With the help of his agent Myron Selznick, Powell was able to navigate between three studios in only a matter of a few years, in search of the perfect fit for his natural abilities as an actor. This experimentation with star image and publicity marked the period of the early 1930s in Hollywood, as studios dealt with the quickly evolving art and technological form, industrial and business practices, and a shifting cultural and moral landscape.

  • 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 Museum of Modern Art Department of Film 11 West 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019 Tel: 212-708-9400 Cable: MODERNART Telex: 62370 MODART THE ARTS FOR TELEVISION an exhibition organized by The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles and the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam THE ARTS FOR TELEVISION is the first major museum exhibition to examine television as a form for contemporary art : television as a gallery or theater or alternative space, even television as art . An international selection of artworks made for broadcast, the exhibi- tion documents the crossovers and collaborations that take place on this new television, between and among dancers, musicians, play- wrights, actors, authors, poets, and visual and video artists . And it investigates the artists' own investigation of one medium -- be it dance or music or literature -- through another . It examines the transformations video makes and the possibilities it allows . These provocative uses of television time and technology are organized in THE ARTS FOR TELEVISION according to the medium transformed by the electronic image ; the six categories are Dance for Television, Music for Television, Theatre for Television, Literature for Television, The Video Image (works that address video as a visual art, that make reference to the traditional visual arts and to seeing itself), and Not Necessarily Television (works that address the usual content of TV, and transform it) . The ARTS FOR TELEVISION also presents another level of collaboration in artists' television . It documents the involvement of television stations in Europe and America with art and artists' video . It recognizes their commitment and acknowledges the risks they take in allowing artists the opportunity to realize works of art .
