UCLA Catalog Record ID UCLA Catalog Record ID: 4434622 Biography Born James Francis Durante in 1893 on the Lower East Side of New York to working-class Italian immigrant parents, Durante had began his performing career playing for parties at age 15, and by 1910, was performing in clubs on Coney Island. He worked for numerous clubs in New York City, performing with the Original New Orleans Jazz Band and Jimmy Durante's Jazz Band. In 1923, with partners Eddie Jackson, Harry Harris and Frank Nolan, he opened Club Durant, where he, Jackson, and Lou Clayton developed the raucous comedy act that would bring them fame on Vaudeville stages as Clayton, Jackson, and Durante. The trio made their Vaudeville debut in March of 1927, and went on to headline at the Palace Theatre and appeared in Florenz Zeigfield's revue Show Girl, in 1929. In the 1930s, Durante appeared in several Broadway plays, including Billy Rose's Jumbo (1935), Red Hot and Blue (1936), and Stars Get In Your Eyes (1939) He signed to M.G.M. in 1931, and eventually moved to Los Angeles. His film credits include The New Adventures of Get Rich Quick Wallingford (1931), What! No Beer? (1933), Hollywood Party (1934), George White's Scandals (1934), Strictly Dynamite (1934), You're in the Army Now (1941), It Happened in Brooklyn (1947), On an Finding Aid for the Jimmy Durante PASC-M.0195 2 Papers PASC-M.0195 Island With You (1948), Billy Rose's Jumbo(1962), and It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World (1963), among others. For radio, Durante and Garry Moore co-hosted the Camel Comedy Caravan (1943-1945), and the Jimmy Durante-Garry Moore Show (1945-1947). In 1947, Moore left, and the show became the Jimmy Durante Show, with co-hosts Alan Young in 1948 and Don Ameche in 1949. Durante frequently made guest appearances on other programs, and appeared in various charity broadcasts and in programs broadcast to U.S. troops. On television, Durante hosted the Four Star Revue (1950-51), the All Star Revue (1952-53), The Colgate Comedy Hour (1953-54), and the Jimmy Durante Show (1954-1956). After 1956, Durante did not appear as a regular host, but made guest appearances on variety shows including Club Oasis (1957) and Hollywood Palace (1964). During the 1960s, Durante frequently performed live, successfully reviving his early nightclub career. Durante was married to his first wife, Jeanne Olson, a one-time vaudeville performer herself, from 1921 until her death in 1943. He married his second wife, Margaret (Margie) Little in 1960, and the couple adopted their daughter Cecelia Alicia in 1961. Durante died in Beverly Hills, CA on January 29, 1980. Scope and Content The collection consists of script material, scrapbooks, photographs, written music, audio recordings, printed material and ephemera, and a small amount of correspondence documenting Jimmy Durante's career as an entertainer on stage, radio, film, and television. The script material represents Durante's work as host of radio and television programs including The Chase and Sanborn Hour, the Jimmy Durante Show, Four Star Revue, All Star Revue, and The Colgate Comedy Hour; and his frequent guest appearances on other television and radio programs. The collection also includes script material from Durante's work in films such as Jumbo and The Milkman. There is also a limited amount of script material from his Durante's live comedy and musical performances. In addition to full scripts, also included among this script material are draft scripts, script pages, gag files, sketches, and treatments. Scripts are organized by project type into the following series: Radio Projects, Film Projects, Television Projects, and Unidentified projects. The many scrapbooks included in the collection document Durante's career from the 1920s through to the 1970s, and include press clippings and some photographs. Some scrapbooks were compiled to commemorate specific events in Durante's life and career, such as his 1936 and 1952 performances in England, and his 75th birthday. The photographs in the collection likewise document many facets of Durante's career, and include film and television stills, photographs of stage appearances and events, often with notable public figures, and photographs of Durante with collaborators suck as Eddie Jackson, Lou Clayton, Sonny King, and Jack Roth. A number of the photographs document Durante's personal life and include family snapshots and photographs of the Durantes at social functions. The large amount of written music and related material are orchestral scores and parts, vocal scores, arrangements, and lead sheets, in both printed and manuscript format. Many of these appear to have been used for Durante's television and radio programs, or were created for the Jimmy Durante Music Publishing Company, and include songs composed by Durante and his frequent musical collaborator Jack Barnett. The written music series also includes a small amount of commercially published sheet music by other composers that may have been used by Durante, as well as lists and indexes of musical numbers that Durante performed. The sound recordings likewise document Durante's radio and television appearances. The majority of these recordings are transcription discs, with a small number of 45 rpm and 78 rpm records and reel-to-reel tapes. The majority of the transcription discs and tapes document Durante's work as a television and radio host on programs including The Jimmy Durante Show, as well as his guest appearances on other programs. The 45 rpm and 78 rpm records consist mainly of commercially released recordings, the majority of which are 45 rpm singles recorded by Durante, but also include recordings by other popular artists. Print material in the collection includes a large number of press clippings, the majority of which date from 1960-1980; full copies of magazines that contain articles by or about Durante; and programs from Durante performances and events held in his honor. There is a small amount of ephemera that includes tickets, drawings, and other such material and a number of certificates presented to Durante by various philanthropic organizations, branches of the armed forces, and governments and agencies. The small amount of correspondence consists largely of birthday cards, holiday greetings, and well wishes sent to Durante from friends, colleagues, and fans. Finally, there are a very small number of papers pertaining to the Durante family; the majority of this material is clippings about the early career of Marjorie Durante. Organization and Arrangement Arranged in the following series: 1. Radio Projects 2. Motion Picture Projects Finding Aid for the Jimmy Durante PASC-M.0195 3 Papers PASC-M.0195 3.

  • Building Cold War Warriors: Socialization of the Final Cold War Generation
    BUILDING COLD WAR WARRIORS: SOCIALIZATION OF THE FINAL COLD WAR GENERATION Steven Robert Bellavia A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2018 Committee: Andrew M. Schocket, Advisor Karen B. Guzzo Graduate Faculty Representative Benjamin P. Greene Rebecca J. Mancuso © 2018 Steven Robert Bellavia All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Andrew Schocket, Advisor This dissertation examines the experiences of the final Cold War generation. I define this cohort as a subset of Generation X born between 1965 and 1971. The primary focus of this dissertation is to study the ways this cohort interacted with the three messages found embedded within the Cold War us vs. them binary. These messages included an emphasis on American exceptionalism, a manufactured and heightened fear of World War III, as well as the othering of the Soviet Union and its people. I begin the dissertation in the 1970s, - during the period of détente- where I examine the cohort’s experiences in elementary school. There they learned who was important within the American mythos and the rituals associated with being an American. This is followed by an examination of 1976’s bicentennial celebration, which focuses on not only the planning for the celebration but also specific events designed to fulfill the two prime directives of the celebration. As the 1980s came around not only did the Cold War change but also the cohort entered high school. Within this stage of this cohorts education, where I focus on the textbooks used by the cohort and the ways these textbooks reinforced notions of patriotism and being an American citizen.

  • The History of NBC New York Television Studios, 1935-1956"
    `1 | P a g e "The History of NBC New York Television Studios, 1935-1956" Volume 1 of 2 By Bobby Ellerbee And Eyes Of A Generation.com Preface and Acknowledgement This is the first known chronological listing that details the conversions of NBC’s Radio City studios at 30 Rockefeller Plaza in New York City. Also included in this exclusive presentation by and for Eyes Of A Generation, are the outside performance theaters and their conversion dates to NBC Television theaters. This compilation gives us the clearest and most concise guide yet to the production and technical operations of television’s early days and the network that pioneered so much of the new medium. As you will see, many shows were done as “remotes” in NBC radio studios with in-house mobile camera units, and predate the official conversion date which signifies the studio now has its own control room and stage lighting. Eyes Of A Generation, would like to offer a huge thanks to the many past and present NBC people that helped, but most especially to Frank Merklein (NBC 1947-1961) Joel Spector (NBC 1965-2001), Dennis Degan (NBC 2003 to present), historian David Schwartz (GSN) and Gady Reinhold (CBS 1966 to present), for their first hand knowledge, photos and help. This presentation is presented as a public service by the world’s ultimate destination for television history…The Eyes Of A Generation. –Bobby Ellerbee http://www.eyesofageneration.com/ https://www.facebook.com/pages/Eyes-Of-A-Generationcom/189359747768249 `2 | P a g e "The History of NBC New York Television Studios, 1935-1956" Volume 1 of 2 Contents Please Note: Converted should be understood as the debut date of the facility as an exclusive TV studio, now equipped with its own control room.

Bolig The advent of this online discography is a continuation of record descriptions that were compiled by me and published in book form by Allan Sutton, the publisher and owner of Mainspring Press. When undertaking our work, Allan and I were aware of the work started by Ted Fa- gan and Bill Moran, in which they intended to account for every recording made by the Victor Talking Machine Company. We decided to take on what we believed was a more practical approach, one that best met the needs of record collectors. Simply stat- ed, Fagan and Moran were describing recordings that were not necessarily published; I believed record collectors were interested in records that were actually available. We decided to account for records found in Victor catalogs, ones that were purchased and found in homes after 1901 as 78rpm discs, many of which have become highly sought- after collector’s items.
