    1 ARGUING THEIR WORLD: THE REPRESENTATION OF MAJOR SOCIAL AND CULTURAL ISSUES IN EDNA FERBER’S AND FANNIE HURST’S FICTION, 1910-1935 A dissertation presented By Kathryn Ruth Bloom to The Department of English In partial fulfillment of the reQuirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In the field of English Northeastern University Boston, Massachusetts April 2018 2 ARGUING THEIR WORLD: THE REPRESENTATION OF MAJOR SOCIAL AND CULTURAL ISSUES IN EDNA FERBER’S AND FANNIE HURST’S FICTION, 1910-1935 A dissertation presented By Kathryn Ruth Bloom ABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the reQuirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English in the College of Social Sciences and Humanities of Northeastern University April 2018 3 ABSTRACT BetWeen the early decades of the twentieth-century and mid-century, Edna Ferber and Fannie Hurst were popular and prolific authors of fiction about American society and culture. Almost a century ago, they were writing about race, immigration, economic disparity, drug addiction, and other issues our society is dealing with today with a reneWed sense of urgency. In spite of their extraordinary popularity, by the time they died within a feW months of each other in 1968, their reputations had fallen into eclipse. This dissertation focuses on Ferber’s and Hurst’s fiction published betWeen approximately 1910 and 1935, the years in Which both authors enjoyed the highest critical and popular esteem. Perhaps because these realistic narratives generally do not engage in the stylistic experimentation of the literary world around them, literary scholars came to undervalue their Work.

  • Ann Harding ~ 22 Films
    Ann Harding ~ 22 Films Born in Texas in 1902 and forsaking commerce for the theatre in 1921, by 1929 Ann Harding was an established Broadway lead. In that year she signed with Pathé (soon part of RKO) and through the mid-'30s starred in a series of soap operas, most typically as suffering heroines forced to make noble sacrifices for the men they love. With her ash-blonde hair usually swept back into a bun, classical makeup-free good looks and deep, beautifully modulated voice, the patrician Harding brought a gentle, serene strength to such worthy star vehicles as When Ladies Meet (1933) and The Life Of Vergie Winters (1934) but fared less well in more faltering efforts such as Devotion (1931) and Enchanted April (1935). Ideal for the philosophical sophistication of playwright Phillip Barry, Harding shone in fine adaptations of two of his most successful comedy- drama talkfests: Holiday (1930), for which she received a Best Actress Oscar nomination and The Animal Kingdom (1932). She made two of her strongest films late in her reign as a star: the haunting almost surreal love story Peter Ibbetson (1935, opposite Gary Cooper) and the taut suspense melodrama Love From A Stranger (1937, with Basil Rathbone). She continued to appear on film, stage and television until 1965 and died in 1981, aged 79. With her favourite leading man, Leslie Howard Moira Finnie talks to Ann Harding biographer Scott O'Brien "Looking at Harding," wrote film historian Mick LaSalle in his book Complicated Women "is like looking into clear, deep water. Nothing stands in the way.

  • BUTLER COUNTY HISTORICAL MARKER DRIVING TOUR the City of Hamilton
    BUTLER COUNTY HISTORICAL MARKER DRIVING TOUR The City of Hamilton FANNIE HURST Armistead Park 305 Main Street, Hamilton Raised and educated in St. Louise, author Fannie Hurst (1885-1968) was born in Hamilton at 918 Central Avenue, the home of her maternal grandparents. She was the daughter of Rose Koppel and Samuel Hurst. Already a writer as a student at Washington University (Class of 1909), Fannie moved to New York in 1910 to begin her career. Success came after repeated rejection. Stories for popular magazines brought her attention in the mid-1910’s; by the mid-1920’s she had become a best-selling, highly-regarded, and well-paid author. Between 1912 and 1964, Hurst wrote 18 novels, eight short story collections, and many other pieces. Hurst’s short story “Humoresque” (1919) and the novels Back Street (1931) and Imitation of Life (1933) were three of 32 films based on her writings. The film adaption of Imitation of Life received an Oscar nomi- nation for Best Picture in 1934. Hurst married Russian émigré pianist Jacques S. Danielson (1875-1952) in 1915. The couple maintained separate households and did not reveal the marriage until 1920, sparking controversy. A member of the feminist groups Heterodoxy and the Lucy Stone League, Hurst kept her maiden name. She used her fame on behalf of many causes, including women’s rights and civil rights, and help for those escaping Nazi Germany. President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s administration appointed her to serve on commissions for workers’ rights. Returning to Hamilton with her mother for visits, Fannie called it her “summer palace” and wrote of the city in her autobiography, Anatomy of Me (1958).

Hers is the story of a Jewish girl from the Middle West turned dynamic celebrity author, the kid down the street who spoke her dreams out loud and then managed to fulfill every one of them. Her name was constant newspaper fodder. It appeared in reviews of her twenty-six books; in reports of her travels, her lifestyle (including the marriage she curiously chose to hide from her friends as well as the public), her diet, and her provocative public statements; and in her obituary, which was front-page news, even in The New York Times. With stories and novels such as “Humoresque,” Back Street, and Imitation of Life, Fannie Hurst reigned as the leading “sob sister” of American fiction in the 1920s and 1930s.

  • Mount Clemens in Prose and Poetry (©2008 by Mount Clemens Public Library
    Mount Clemens Public Library Local History Sketches Mount Clemens in Prose and Poetry (©2008 by Mount Clemens Public Library. All rights reserved.) n the heyday of the bath era, the population of Mount Clemens often doubled during the summer Iseason when visitors came from all over the country to take the healing waters. Among the visitors were the rich and famous of the day, including a number of writers and poets. Mount Clemens was immortalized in the prose and poetry of several of these scribes. An early appearance of Mount Clemens in the pages of literature came in 1877, when the town was used as the model for the setting of the novel Out West, Or, Roughing it on the Great Lakes, by William Taylor Adams (1822-1897). Adams wrote stories for boys under the pen name of Oliver Optic. The hero of his story is a young man named Alick, originally from a New England seaport, who seeks adventure on the Great Lakes in his sailing vessel, the Lakebird. In his travels, Alick makes his way up the "Glinton" River from Lake St. Clair, to the town of Montomercy, a place famous for its healing mineral baths. While sailing the lake one day, Alick picks up a passenger, a Mr. Garningham, who had come to the mouth of the river from town. Alick's passenger is introduced to the readers in this small passage from the story: [Mr Garningham]: "I am an Englishman, travelling in the States for my health, which is bad. When I was in Canada, I heard of the Mineral Springs of Montomercy; and I am staying in that place at the Sherman House for three or four weeks.

  • Universal Pictures: Restorations and Rediscoveries, 1928–1937 Screening Schedule May 13–June 15, 2016 the Roy and Niuta Titus Theaters
    Universal Pictures: Restorations and Rediscoveries, 1928–1937 Screening Schedule May 13–June 15, 2016 The Roy and Niuta Titus Theaters King of Jazz. 1930. USA. Directed by John Murray Anderson. In his push to establish Universal as a first-rank studio, Junior Laemmle put two super-productions on the schedule at once: the Oscar-winning All Quiet on the Western Front and this spectacular musical revue built around the popular band leader Paul Whiteman. We’re proud to present the world premiere of Universal’s brand-new digital restoration of King of Jazz, now restored to its full length, with its two-color Technicolor burnished to its original glory. “Rhapsody in Blue,” which Whiteman commissioned from George Gershwin, provides a lavish centerpiece—and a problem for “color supervisor” Natalie Kalmus, since blue was one hue early Technicolor could not reproduce. 98 min. FRI, MAY 13, 7:00 T1; SAT, MAY 14, 2:00 T1; TUE, JUN 14, 7:00 T3 Law and Order. 1932. USA. Directed by Edward L. Cahn. Adapting a novel by W. R. Burnett (Little Ceasar), director Cahn delivers a stylistically innovative, early anti-Western shot through with the violence and cynicism of the gangster era. Walter Huston (whose son, John, contributed to the screenplay) plays a Wyatt Earp–like figure pressed into cleaning up the town of Tombstone—clearly a hopeless task. Harry Carey, star of many early Universal Westerns, lends support. 57 min. SAT, MAY 14, 4:30 T2; SAT, MAY 21, 5:00 T1 Broadway. 1929. USA. Directed by Paul Fejos. The great Hungarian stylist Paul Fejos (Lonesome) received a million-dollar budget for this adaptation of George Abbott’s stage success, a backstage musical with a gangster twist.
