  • The Horror Film Series
    Ihe Museum of Modern Art No. 11 jest 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019 Circle 5-8900 Cable: Modernart Saturday, February 6, I965 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE The Museum of Modern Art Film Library will present THE HORROR FILM, a series of 20 films, from February 7 through April, 18. Selected by Arthur L. Mayer, the series is planned as a representative sampling, not a comprehensive survey, of the horror genre. The pictures range from the early German fantasies and legends, THE CABINET OF DR. CALIGARI (I9I9), NOSFERATU (1922), to the recent Roger Corman-Vincent Price British series of adaptations of Edgar Allan Poe, represented here by THE MASQUE OF THE RED DEATH (I96IO. Milestones of American horror films, the Universal series in the 1950s, include THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA (1925), FRANKENSTEIN (1951), his BRIDE (l$55), his SON (1929), and THE MUMMY (1953). The resurgence of the horror film in the 1940s, as seen in a series produced by Val Lewton at RR0, is represented by THE CAT PEOPLE (19^), THE CURSE OF THE CAT PEOPLE (19^4), I WALKED WITH A ZOMBIE (19*£), and THE BODY SNAT0HER (19^5). Richard Griffith, Director of the Film Library, and Mr. Mayer, in their book, The Movies, state that "In true horror films, the archcriminal becomes the archfiend the first and greatest of whom was undoubtedly Lon Chaney. ...The year Lon Chaney died [1951], his director, Tod Browning,filmed DRACULA and therewith launched the full vogue of horror films. What made DRACULA a turning-point was that it did not attempt to explain away its tale of vampirism and supernatural horrors.

This transcript has been edited by the interviewee and thus differs in places from the recording. CS: …How did you first become interested in the theatre? PF: I… My parents were theatre mad, both of them. My father loved everything to do with stage management and lighting and all the technical things and my mother loved acting – they were amateurs. We lived in Calcutta in India and the two of them were leading lights of the amateur dramatic club of Calcutta and they did a lot of really… very good work there and during the war entertained masses of troops and… I just grew up loving theatre and seeing everything that I could – and it was quite clear that my parents would have no objection at all if I went on the stage... And so I did, I got a job as an ASM in a weekly rep – in 1950 was it or 49? Anyway, I’d had a year at university and my father challenged me more or less and said ‘if I was really serious about theatre, I wouldn’t be wasting my time, I’d be going straight on the stage’, so I said ‘Right – I’ll show him!’ and I got a job from The Stage – (in those days, you could get a job as an ASM from The Stage) and went off to a little place called Wellington in Shropshire and joined this tiny little… well, there were masses of them in those days, weekly rep, and it was a summer season… and I started being ASM, which meant being responsible for the props, helping backstage, holding the book, all those things, but after the – well, almost the first production, I was playing really nice parts, because I had a certain talent.

    WLV Insider March 2015 Welcome to the staff e-zine for the University of Wolverhampton. Each month, we’ll be bringing you the latest news, showcasing departments, celebrating staff successes and publicising events. There will also be competitions and giveaways. We want to give you the chance to tell colleagues about your successes and projects and are keen to have your input and ideas. Please email your information before the last week of each month to [email protected]. We look forward to hearing from you. Have your say on University building names New names are being sought for key buildings around campus – and staff and the rest of the University community are being encouraged to get their thinking caps on. The idea is to make finding the way around and giving directions easier. The buildings will keep their two letter prefix (such as MA), as well as gaining their new names. It is hoped that the whole University community – students, staff, governors and recent alumni – can get involved. At each stage a new name will be proposed, alongside the opportunity for people to make their own suggestions. Last year this exercise was carried out at the Walsall Campus and the suggestion scheme realised new names for: WA Building The Jerome K Jerome Building WN Building The Samuel Johnson Building WD Building The William Penny Brookes Building Now the University is looking for suggestions for names for some of the buildings at the City Campus and Telford Innovation Campus. Building prefix Current name Suggested new name CITY CAMPUS MA Marble reception The Wulfruna Building MX To be suggested by staff and students MK The Charles Wheeler Building TELFORD INNOVATION CAMPUS SC To be suggested by staff and students People can make suggestions using the form at: www.wlv.ac.uk/haveyoursay and there is also further guidance available on this webpage.

  • The Performance of Beckett: an Essay for the Staging Beckett Website, 2015
    1 ROSEMARY POUNTNEY The Performance of Beckett: An essay for the Staging Beckett website, 2015 The performance of Beckett’s shorter plays for the theatre makes exceptional demands on the actor, audience, technicians and director alike. This lecture will discuss the stringency of Beckett’s requirements in these areas and consider to what extent the exacting nature of such demands may present problems for the continuing life of the plays, both today and in the future. To begin with the actor: Jack MacGowran described the camera narrowing steadily in on his face in Beckett’s television play Eh Joe, exposing his haunted eyes, as ‘the most gruelling 22 minutes I have ever had in my life’, and Brenda Bruce described ‘Beckett placing a metronome on the floor to keep me on the rhythm he wanted, which drove me into such a panic that I finally broke down’.1 Billie Whitelaw similarly remarked that, when rehearsing Not I Beckett told her that she had ‘paused for two dots instead of three’.2 Whitelaw also describes in her autobiography losing self-confidence unexpectedly when rehearsing Happy Days with Beckett and asking advice from Dame Peggy Ashcroft, who said: ‘He’s impossible. Throw him out’.3 Dame Peggy herself appeared uncomfortable in her early performances as Winnie (at the Old Vic London in 1975) though she had grown into the role by the time Happy Days transferred to the Lyttelton in 1976, as the National Theatre’s opening production.4 Albert Finney too appeared uneasy in Krapp’s Last Tape in 1973, lacking his usual mastery of a role.5 Contemplating such uncharacteristic discomfort from both actors one wondered whether, in trying to achieve what Beckett wanted, they had found themselves acting against their own theatrical instincts and had thus not fully integrated into their roles.

  • Ealing Studios and the Ealing Comedies: the Tip of the Iceberg
    Ealing Studios and the Ealing Comedies: the Tip of the Iceberg ROBERT WINTER* In lecture form this paper was illustrated with video clips from Ealing films. These are noted below in boxes in the text. My subject is the legendary Ealing Studios comedies. But the comedies were only the tip of the iceberg. To show this I will give a sketch of the film industry leading to Ealing' s success, and of the part played by Sir Michael Balcon over 25 years.! Today, by touching a button or flicking a switch, we can see our values, styles, misdemeanours, the romance of the past and present-and, with imagination, a vision of the" future. Now, there are new technologies, of morphing, foreground overlays, computerised sets, electronic models. These technologies affect enormously our ability to give currency to our creative impulses and credibility to what we do. They change the way films can be produced and, importantly, they change the level of costs for production. During the early 'talkie' period there many artistic and technical difficulties. For example, artists had to use deep pan make-up to' compensate for the high levels of carbon arc lighting required by lower film speeds. The camera had to be put into a soundproof booth when shooting back projection for car travelling sequences. * Robert Winter has been associated with the film and television industries since he appeared in three Gracie Fields films in the mid-1930s. He joined Ealing Studios as an associate editor in 1942 and worked there on more than twenty features. After working with other studios he became a founding member of Yorkshire Television in 1967.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produoad from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the molt advanced technological meant to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality it heavily dependent upon the quality of the original lubmitted. The following explanation of techniques it provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Pags(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again - beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.
