  • Ronald Davis Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts
    Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts in America Southern Methodist University The Southern Methodist University Oral History Program was begun in 1972 and is part of the University’s DeGolyer Institute for American Studies. The goal is to gather primary source material for future writers and cultural historians on all branches of the performing arts- opera, ballet, the concert stage, theatre, films, radio, television, burlesque, vaudeville, popular music, jazz, the circus, and miscellaneous amateur and local productions. The Collection is particularly strong, however, in the areas of motion pictures and popular music and includes interviews with celebrated performers as well as a wide variety of behind-the-scenes personnel, several of whom are now deceased. Most interviews are biographical in nature although some are focused exclusively on a single topic of historical importance. The Program aims at balancing national developments with examples from local history. Interviews with members of the Dallas Little Theatre, therefore, serve to illustrate a nation-wide movement, while film exhibition across the country is exemplified by the Interstate Theater Circuit of Texas. The interviews have all been conducted by trained historians, who attempt to view artistic achievements against a broad social and cultural backdrop. Many of the persons interviewed, because of educational limitations or various extenuating circumstances, would never write down their experiences, and therefore valuable information on our nation’s cultural heritage would be lost if it were not for the S.M.U. Oral History Program. Interviewees are selected on the strength of (1) their contribution to the performing arts in America, (2) their unique position in a given art form, and (3) availability.

  • Mary Margaret Mcbride Interview with Zora Neale Hurston
    “Mary Margaret McBride” with guest Zora Neale Hurston (January 25, 1943) Added to the National Registry: 2008 Essay by Cary O'Dell Mary Margaret McBride McBride on “Radio-Television Mirror” Zora Neale Hurston August 1951 Often referred to as the “First Lady of Radio,” interviewer Mary Margaret McBride was heard over the national airwaves from 1941 to 1954 and, at her peak, counted over eight million listeners to her daily broadcast. So vast was her fame that, in 1949, an event held to celebrate her 15th year on the air sold out Yankee Stadium. Born in Paris, Missouri in 1899, McBride trained as a journalist at the University of Missouri and spent the early years of her career writing for the “Cleveland Press” and the “New York Evening Mail.” Later, she branched into freelance magazine writing by contributing articles to “Good Housekeeping,” “Cosmopolitan” and other publications. Her entrée into radio arrived in 1934 over WOR in New York when she was chosen to take on the persona of that station’s pseudo- mascot “Martha Deane,” a sort of over-the-air “Dear Abby.” After three weeks of “playing” “Deane” however, McBride finally one day broke character on the air and emerged as herself, immediately gaining a rapport with her audience and obtaining a surprising amount of respect from her station managers. Her WOR work soon brought her to the attention of the CBS radio network who packaged her into her own daily, 15-minute show beginning in 1937. She switched to NBC and a 45-minute show in 1941. Through it all, McBride applied and honed her trademark interview style, one that would eventually make her one of radio’s most famous voices and one of the nation’s most influential women.

Collection of American Popular Drama, [Box #, Folder #], Special Collections Research Center, University of Chicago Library Historical Note By the end of the 19th century in America there had developed a fairly large market for playbills and scripts of plays. Theater attendance had increased dramatically through the 19th century and had become progressively more accessible to a wider range of social classes and groups. Not surprisingly, a sort of “play piracy” developed as a consistent problem, particularly since the development of copyright law did not develop extensively until the 20th century.

  • Response of the Jewish Daily Press in Palestine to the Accession of Hitler, 1933 Benny Morris
    Response of the Jewish Daily Press in Palestine to the Accession of Hitler, 1933 Benny Morris Eretz Israel is being built from the rubble of the Diaspora. The losses inflicted on world Jewry have greatly abetted the rapid growth of the National Home at this time . and Eretz Israel will absorb the few who escaped the process of destruction and devastation.1 This article surveys the attitudes of the Palestinian Jewish press toward Hitler’s accession to power and the Nazi upheaval in Germany in 1933. The study hopes to shed light on the nature of this press, the consolidation of the Yishuv’s attitude toward the Nazis, and the patterns of thinking and action adopted by the Zionist movement in the 1930s. The press at a specific time, with respect to a certain subject, is of dual value to the historian. First, it reflects how certain topics and events were viewed and construed during the period studied, and each individual newspaper reflects the specific perspective of a given political party or social circle toward the processes and events. Second, the press influences public opinion and helps shape certain groups’ perceptions and understandings of the events they witness. Sometimes, too, the press provides facts about events and communicates the views of the personalities about events by means of interviews and features. This article focuses on several themes: the response of the Palestinian Jewish press to the elections in Germany in July and November 1932; its responses to Hitler’s accession to power on January 30, 1933; and the effect of Yishuv politics on these responses.
