  • Buster Keaton Film Locations: a Silent Echoes Tour of Los Angeles
    BUSTER KEATON FILM LOCATIONS: A SILENT ECHOES TOUR OF LOS ANGELES Copyright 2005 John Bengtson. All rights reserved. The following self-guided tour directions have been provided as a special bonus to John Bengtson’s “Touring Los Angeles Through the Films of Buster Keaton” presentation at the UCLA Film and Television Archive. (You can also download this document from the Archive’s website at www.cinema.ucla.edu.) New locations have been added here to the ones discussed in Bengtson’s acclaimed book, Silent Echoes: Discovering Early Hollywood Through the Films of Buster Keaton (www.SilentEchoes.net, Santa Monica Press: 800-784-9553). Happy navigating your way around town! Hollywood Tour The Hollywood tour begins, symbolically, at the corner of Hollywood and Vine (1). Here Keaton jumped onto a fire truck in The Cameraman. Proceed west down Hollywood Boulevard past Highland, to Mann’s (formerly Grauman’s) Chinese Theater. There, across the street between Highland and Orange, at 6904 Hollywood Blvd., is the former Mary Moll Building (2), which appeared briefly during the film-editing sequence from Sherlock Jr. Turn back east down Hollywood Blvd., and turn right (south) onto Cahuenga, stopping near the corner. The alley on the east side of Cahuenga (3) is the alley from Cops where Keaton grabs a passing car one- handed. Proceed south down Cahuenga a few yards until you reach the parking lot at 1622 Cahuenga (4), the lot where Brown Eyes was kept safe in Go West. This parking lot also appears in The Cameraman. Across the street from the parking lot (5) is the site of the former fire station that appears in Three Ages and The Cameraman.

  • Robert Heide Meeting Jackie
    Excerpt from When Jackie Met Ethyl / Curated by Dan Cameron, May 5 – June 1, 2016 © 2016 Howl! Arts, Inc. Page 1 Robert Heide Meeting Jackie I first met Jackie Curtis through theater director Ron Link, during rehearsals of Jackie’s outrageous nostalgic/camp Hollywood comedy-play Glamour Glory, and Gold at Bastiano’s Cellar Studio in the Village. In the cast were platinum Melba LaRose Jr. playing a Jean Harlow-type screen siren, Robert De Niro in his very first acting role playing all the male parts, and Candy Darling, still a brunette before being transformed by Link—with the help of Max Factor theatrical make-up, false eyelashes, blue eye shadow, and for her hair, 20 volume peroxide mixed with white henna ammonia—into the super-blonde Goddess she is thought of today. Jackie also became a Warhol Superstar, along with her glamorous sisters Candy and Holly Woodlawn. At the time of my first introduction, Jackie was a pretty boy wearing wire-rimmed eyeglasses with natural rosy cheeks and brown hair. Initially shy and introverted, he was given a quick makeover by Svengali Link and changed, with the help of red henna, into a flaming redhead with glossy scarlet lips à la Barbara Stanwyck, Jackie’s favorite film star. Gobs of facial glitter would later add to the mix. During the run of Glamour, Glory, and Gold, Sally Kirkland, who lived upstairs from me on Christopher Street, brought along her friend Shelley Winters to Bastiano’s to see Jackie’s show. Shelley was about to open in her own play, One Night Stands of a Noisy Passenger, at the Actors’ Playhouse on Sheridan Square, and became enamored with the young, sexy, muscular De Niro, deciding to cast him in her show, where he ran around stage in his bathing trunks.

  • Film Essay for "7Th Heaven"
    7th Heaven By Aubrey Solomon In the years between 1926 and 1928, Hollywood ex- perienced a maturation which blended art and indus- try to a new level of cinema. Influenced heavily by the experiments of foreign talents, largely German, new concepts of cinematography, lighting, set de- sign, and special effects known as “trick shots,” per- meated American film-making methods. The somber and sometimes morbid themes of German cinema also seeped into their films, often to the chagrin of American exhibitors who preferred their own exuber- ant optimism and happy endings. “7th Heaven” characterizes a perfect blend of opti- mistic romantic fantasy and German influenced pro- duction design. It also became one of the most pop- ular films of the late silent era. Its opening title card set the tone: “For those who will climb it, there is a ladder leading from the depths to the heights - from the sewer to the stars - the ladder of Courage.” Based on a hugely successful play by Austin Strong which ran at the Booth Theatre on Broadway from October 30, 1922, to May 21,1924 for a total of 685 performances, it portrayed the travails of young lov- An advertisement from a June 1927 edition of Motion ers who meet amidst the sordid gutters of pre-World Picture News.

  • JOAN CRAWFORD Early Life and Inspiration Joan Crawford Was Born Lucille Fay Lesueur on March 23, 1908, in San Antonio, Texas
    JOAN CRAWFORD Early Life and Inspiration Joan Crawford was born Lucille Fay LeSueur on March 23, 1908, in San Antonio, Texas. Her biological father, Thomas E. LeSueur, left the family shortly after Lucille’s birth, leaving Anna Bell Johnson, her mother, behind to take care of the family. page 1 Lucille’s mother later married Henry J. Cassin, an opera house owner from Lawton, Oklahoma, which is where the family settled. Throughout her childhood there, Lucille frequently watched performances in her stepfather’s theater. Lucille, having grown up watching the many vaudeville acts perform at the theater, grew up wanting to pursue a dancing career. page 2 In 1917, Lucille’s family moved to Kansas City after her stepfather was accused of embezzlement. Cassin, a Catholic, sent Lucille to a Catholic girls’ school by the name of St. Agnes Academy. When her mother and stepfather divorced, she remained at the academy as a work student. It was there that she began dating and met a man named Ray Sterling, who inspired her to start working hard in school. page 3 In 1922, Lucille registered at Stephens College in Columbia, Missouri. However, she only attended the college for a few months before dropping out when she realized that she was not prepared enough for college. page 4 Early Career After her stint at Stephens, Lucille began dancing in various traveling choruses under the name Lucille LeSueur. While performing in Detroit, her talent was noticed by a producer named Jacob Shubert. Shubert gave her a spot in his 1924 Broadway show Innocent Eyes, in which she performed in the chorus line.

Told in an absorbing fashion, the vast historical epic follows the life of Mohammed Ali Jinnah, the hugely important but often-misrepresented world leader. The response to the initial Press screening was so positive, that the Distributor, Asiangold Ltd., has scaled the DVD release nationally in order to make the film available to a larger, more diverse audience Kicking off with a personal appearance and signing by Christopher Lee at London’s Harrods on Oct. 5th, the DVD will be available through HMV, Virgin, Choices, MVC, and most High Street retailers in addition to Asian superstore Moviebox, and online at www.cdguru.com. ‘We increased the breadth of distribution as we believe the film will appeal not only to those interested in the history of Pakistan, but to all fans of Mr. Lee, who believes it is the most important film he has made.’ commented Asiangold Sales Manager, Mitul Raja About The DVD: The film opens shortly after partition in 1947 with a dying Jinnah being rushed to hospital.

  • Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} the Complete Films of Buster Keaton by Jim Kline the Complete Films of Buster Keaton by Jim Kline
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} The Complete Films of Buster Keaton by Jim Kline The Complete Films of Buster Keaton by Jim Kline. The Three Ages (1923) Directed by Buster Keaton and Eddie Cline. Buster Keaton, Margaret Leahy, Wallace Beery (56 min.) The Three Ages is one of the first old movies I ever saw. It stars Buster Keaton and takes place in three different time periods, the Stone Age, the Roman Age and the Modern (1920s) Age. The girl who stars alongside with Buster is an English girl who could not act to save her life. She won a beauty contest and her prize was to be in a movie. I love this movie. In all of the different ages the same basic thing is going on in different times. In all three ages Buster is challenged by the bad guy (Wallace Beery) to a fight for the girl. In the Stone Age, they clomp each other on the head with clubs. In the Roman Age he is challenged to a chariot race, but the day of the race there is a blizzard (in Rome?). So, he puts sled runners on his chariot and fastens on dogs instead of horses. How ingenious! In the Modern Age, the battle is football. In all of these times you have to imagine little Buster up against BIG, BIG Wallace. it is just funny. One of my favorite parts is in the climax of the Modern Age. Buster is running from the cops (like in so many other movies). He goes through obstacles and comes to a point where he is supposed to jump from the top of one building to the next, so he sets up a diving board on the roof, jumps--and misses! He falls down the side of the building.
