  • Robert M. Mcelwaine, 1925-2010
    FEBRUARY 20, 2010...1:58 PM Ethics Hero Emeritus: Robert M. McElwaine, 1925-2010 Every time I hear about a new tell-all book by a famous person’s former lover, spouse, political aide or appointee, full of embarrassing revelations about what celebrities, political leaders or admired (or reviled) historical figures did or said behind closed doors or in the dead of night, I admire Bob McElwaine just a little more. When he died this month, the Washington Post obituary described him as a man who knew how to keep a secret. He did, but he was much more than that. Robert McElwaine was a gentleman. An old story tells of a woman had asks a great king to make her son a gentleman. “Alas, I cannot,” the king replies. “I can make him a nobleman, but only God can make a gentleman.” Many affect the trappings of gentility, of course; that’s a matter of taste, style and manners. Bob possessed all of those. The first time I saw him, he was sitting at a restaurant table at the Four Seasons Hotel in Georgetown waiting for me to meet him for lunch. As always, he had arrived early; in all the times I had engagements with him, he was never a minute late, though I often was, and usually by more than a minute. He was impeccably dressed in a crisp white shirt, a tie, blazer and slacks…nothing ostentatious, just perfect. Yes, Bob knew how to look like a gentleman. Being one, however, is considerably harder. I had invited to Bob lunch because I had heard about his Hollywood career and long association with entertainer Danny Kaye, and wanted to pick his brains about my theater company’s impending production of the musical “Lady in the Dark,” which launched Kaye’s career.

    The Museum Of Modem Art For Immediate Release June 1987 PARAMOUNT PICTURES: 75 YEARS July 10, 1987 - January 4, 1988 Marlene Dietrich, William Holden, Barbara Stanwyck, Fred MacMurray, and Mae West are among the stars featured in the exhibition PARAMOUNT PICTURES: 75 YEARS, which opens at The Museum of Modern Art on July 10. The series includes films by such directors as Cecil B. De Mille, Ernst Lubitsch, Francis Coppola, Josef von Sternberg, and Preston Sturges. More than 100 films and an accompanying display of film-still enlargements and original posters trace the seventy-five year history of Paramount through the silent and sound eras. The exhibition begins on Friday, July 10, at 6:00 p.m. with Dorothy Arzner's The Wild Party (1929), madcap silent star Clara Bow's first sound feature, costarring Fredric March. At 2:30 p.m. on the same day, Ernst Lubitsch's ribald musical comedy The Smiling Lieutenant (1931) will be screened, featuring Paramount contract stars Maurice Chevalier, Claudette Colbert, and Miriam Hopkins. Comprised of both familiar classics and obscure features, the series continues in The Roy and Niuta Titus Theaters through January 4, 1988. Paramount Pictures was founded in 1912 by Adolph Zukor, and its first release was the silent Queen Elizabeth, starring Sarah Bernhardt. Among the silent films included in PARAMOUNT PICTURES: 75 YEARS are De Mille's The Squaw Man (1913), The Cheat (1915), and The Ten Commandments (1923); von Sternberg's The Docks of New York (1928), and Erich von Stroheim's The Wedding March (1928). - more - ll West 53 Street.

  • “In the Mood”—Glenn Miller (1939) Added to the National Recording Registry: 2004 Essay by Cary O’Dell
    “In the Mood”—Glenn Miller (1939) Added to the National Recording Registry: 2004 Essay by Cary O’Dell Glenn Miller Original release label “Sun Valley Serenade” Though Glenn Miller and His Orchestra’s well-known, robust and swinging hit “In the Mood” was recorded in 1939 (and was written even earlier), it has since come to symbolize the 1940s, World War II, and the entire Big Band Era. Its resounding success—becoming a hit twice, once in 1940 and again in 1943—and its frequent reprisal by other artists has solidified it as a time- traversing classic. Covered innumerable times, “In the Mood” has endured in two versions, its original instrumental (the specific recording added to the Registry in 2004) and a version with lyrics. The music was written (or written down) by Joe Garland, a Tin Pan Alley tunesmith who also composed “Leap Frog” for Les Brown and his band. The lyrics are by Andy Razaf who would also contribute the words to “Ain’t Misbehavin’” and “Honeysuckle Rose.” For as much as it was an original work, “In the Mood” is also an amalgamation, a “mash-up” before the term was coined. It arrived at its creation via the mixture and integration of three or four different riffs from various earlier works. Its earliest elements can be found in “Clarinet Getaway,” from 1925, recorded by Jimmy O’Bryant, an Arkansas bandleader. For his Paramount label instrumental, O’Bryant was part of a four-person ensemble, featuring a clarinet (played by O’Bryant), a piano, coronet and washboard. Five years later, the jazz piece “Tar Paper Stomp” by Joseph “Wingy” Manone, from 1930, beget “In the Mood’s” signature musical phrase.

Wien, im Januar 2013 Studienkennzahl lt. Studienblatt: A 236 346 Studienrichtung lt. Studienblatt: Romanistik Französisch Diplom Betreuer: o. Univ. Prof. Dr. Georg Kremnitz Regardez cette petite personne dont les mains sont celles du lézard des ruines. Regardez son front de Bonaparte, ses yeux d'aveugle qui vient de retrouver la vue. Comment chantera-t- elle ? Comment s'exprimera-t-elle ? Comment sortira-t-elle de sa poitrine étroite les grandes plaintes de la nuit ? Et voici qu'elle chante, ou plutôt qu'à la mode du rossignol d'avril elle essaye son chant d'amour. Jean Cocteau Remerciements Un merci géant à mon père et à sa belle femme qui sont ma seule famille et qui m’ont aidée pendant la période où j’étais au chômage et où j’avais des soucis d’argent ou quand j’étais malade et j’avais la migraine et où j’avais besoin de quelque chose. Avec eux je pouvais faire des excursions sur les montagnes, me distraire et pouvais reprendre de nouvelles forces. Tous les deux ont vu le progrès que j’ai fait pendant mes études et ont partagé les échecs et heureusement aussi les succès avec moi. Ils me connaissent et m’aiment en tant que personne et m’ont accompagnée pendant mon chemin. En même temps un merci à mes deux chattes qui ont ressenti comme des amies le stress avant les examens. C’était drôle d’avoir une chatte assise sur mes genoux et un livre dans la main.

  • LA VIE EN ROSE LIVIN’ and LOVIN’ with LOUIS ARMSTRONG
    LA VIE EN ROSE LIVIN’ and LOVIN’ with LOUIS ARMSTRONG Words are completely inadequate when attempting to convey the spirit of Louis Armstrong to anyone unfamiliar with his genius. It is far better to learn about Armstrong, also known as Satchmo, Pops, Papa Dip, through his music. And yet, to define his accomplishment solely through music is to overlook the totality of his unique contributions to the world. There is much to discover when we widen our focus. Through his story, we can examine how technology can be used to document change through the lens of a single person’s life. His long career spans the timeline of developing media: print media, photography, sound recordings, radio and television broadcasting, and film. Even today his legacy is spread through developing new media. With Internet access, any student can get their daily dose of Satchmo through iTunes, YouTube, Facebook, or Twitter. Satchmo used every means possible to create and communicate, and he was truly a pioneer exploring new technologies. Armstrong was constantly recording his story, first with pen and paper, next using with his trusty typewriter to write memoirs, essays and letters. He took to lugging around a reel‐to‐reel tape recorder on tour. He tucked scissors and scotch tape in his pockets to make collages whenever he had a spare moment. He amassed a personal collection of 1,600 recordings, 650 home recorded tapes in hand‐decorated boxes, 5,000 photographs, and 86 scrapbooks. He was often the first African American performer to break through racial barriers — in radio programs, animated shorts, early soundies, television shows, commercial advertisements, and in full‐length feature films — in a time when people of color could not walk through the front door of many public establishments, sit in the front of the bus, or go to an integrated school.

  • Unsatisfaction Joni Mitchell, Joan Baez, Patti Smith
    1 Unsatisfaction Joni Mitchell, Joan Baez, Patti Smith de Matilde Acevedo 1 Dulce ángel virginal, dulce amor de mi vida * Un sonido me interrumpe y abro los ojos. ¿Un murmullo?, ¿un silbido?, ¿qué era? Despego la cabeza del piso. Miro a la derecha. A la izquierda. Mantengo el abdominal. Giro la cabeza para ver detrás de mí. Es mi mamá, está sentada en una silla en la terraza. Canta mirando el atardecer. No sé cuánto llevo acostada. Empecé meditando (dizque shabassana, la postura del cadáver), me morí, me dormí, no sé qué pasó. Intento levantarme. Volteo mi cuerpo hacia la derecha y me arropo en posición fetal, estiro los pies y los brazos, luego pongo la mano izquierda sobre el suelo, luego el antebrazo derecho, apoyo rodilla, apoyo un pie, apoyo el otro pie, mis rodillas me van alzando, remonto vértebra por vértebra hasta quedar parada. Avanzo hacia la terraza como si fuera un Dios, decidida y musculosa, como si toda la parsimonia del mundo se me hubiese transferido. Ahora ando firme, sin que mis brazos o cualquier extremidad se balancee. Voy lento y controlo cada movimiento, como si fuera un hombre desnudo y azul, calvo, fuerte, radiante: una estrella en movimiento que se dirige a la terraza. La luz del sol pega directamente sobre mí y me imagino brillante, enceguecedora, pero realmente la ciega soy yo con esta luz y apenas puedo ver a mi mamá. Alcanzo a apreciar el contorno perfilado de una persona sentada, con audífonos puestos (de esos que rodean a la oreja entera y no pierden la oportunidad de hacerse ver), pelo largo, oscuro, y capul.
