The small, portable and very decorative piece of furniture was originally designed to store sheet music. A canterbury stands on four legs with castors, so it is easily moved. It has an open topped rack with slatted compartments for sheet music; or newspapers, books, magazines or any loose paper that might be sitting around. If often has a drawer underneath so it suddenly becomes a convenient place for storage. Initially mahogany and rosewood were the common woods used to make them. Later, in the early 1800’s, other woods such as bird’s eye maple and walnut were used. The name is said to come from the Archbishop of Canterbury because he commissioned one. It became increasingly more ornate during the Victorian period which was also a time when a great many canterburies were produced due to the Victorian passion for the piano. Editor’s Comment Welcome to the September/October 2013 issue of Discovering ANTIQUES! The Flood! What an event. It began the day I left Calgary to go to Edmonton to do the distribution of the July/August issue. What appeared to be another dreary, rainy day became the headlines on the news I watched in Edmonton that evening. It seemed surreal to be watching these events being televised from where I lived and not thousands of miles away or on the other side of the world as they usually seem to. Fortunately, my home, and those of any family and most friends, was not affected. One description I was given of what the flood waters did in some buildings was to just lift everything up and then put it down again, leaving everything wet and covered in a thick layer of muck. In the same building, but a different area, it seemed that the water chose to toss the contents (chairs, desks, tables, etc.) around and break them before receding and again leaving what was left covered in the same thick muck. I found that really interesting, it almost gave the flood water personality. After the initial shock, several things occurred to me. One is how quickly something like this can happen, and how little control there is over the forces of Mother Nature. Also, in all the piles of destroyed and contaminated items that were standing along the streets in parts of Calgary or High River; how many priceless old pieces of furniture, or household items were there than are gone forever? (Understand, I am not comparing any of this to the treasured family pictures, or sentimental items, etc.) Some of those things might have crossed the Atlantic, come across the country in a covered wagon and served their households for generations only to be gone in what seems like an instant! For those of us who admire and appreciate beautiful old things, the potential of what might have been lost in the floods is a nightmare.

As a sensitive artistic response to its age, the film presents a moral protest of revulsion against the dominant cultural paradigm in America-what Geoffrey Hodgson has termed the Ideology of Liberal Consensus.'

    c01.qxd 12/18/06 1:10 PM Page 5 1 Out of the Ashes of Despair The difference [between a director and an auteur] is that a director who is working for a living simply does the job, which may not be akin to his philosophy, but it is not inconsistent to have the same man being both. The word is “hunger.” If you are hungry and nobody will buy your orig- inal idea, you might get lucky, direct a Kellogg’s cornflakes commercial and take home a few boxes. —Mel Brooks, 1971 n the early 1970s, Mel Brooks had reason to find himself in an ironic I position as far as his career was concerned. He had already won Acad- emy Awards and Emmys, and had hit radio commercials and three suc- cessful comedy albums (such as The 2000 Year Old Man). He was a veteran of the writing teams for two of the most cherished series of Amer- ican television’s golden age: Your Show of Shows and Caesar’s Hour. Brooks’s recent association with the highly successful sitcom Get Smart had enhanced his visibility with the public and given him additional industry credibility.COPYRIGHTED Although his movie TheMATERIAL Twelve Chairs (1970) had failed to make any tangible impact at the box office, The Producers (1968) was well on its way to becoming a cult favorite. Yet Brooks was now unable to get any new show business projects off the ground and into production. How many times, he must have won- dered, did he have to crash through the establishment’s barriers before he gained solid acceptance from his peers and the public? How long could he continue to subject himself to the ordeal of starting over—yet again? 5 c01.qxd 12/18/06 1:10 PM Page 6 6 IT’S GOOD TO BE THE KING For a time, Mel wanted to produce a film version of She Stoops to Conquer.

    From Curtis Ken Curtis To Eleanor Eleanor Parker An exercise in Proximity and Happenstance by Clark N. Nelson, Sr. (May be updated periodically: Last update 06-07-20) 1 Prelude The quality within several photographs, in particular, those from the motion pictures ‘Untamed Women’, ‘Santa Fe Passage’, and ‘The King and Four Queens’, might possibly prove questionable, yet were included based upon dwindling sources and time capsule philosophy. Posters and scenes relevant to the motion picture ‘Only Angels Have Wings’ from 1939 are not applicable to my personal accounts, yet are included based upon the flying sequences above Washington County by renowned all-ratings stunt pilot Paul Mantz.

  • GUNSMOKE TV CAST and DETAILS Premiered
    GUNSMOKE TV CAST AND DETAILS Premiered: September 10, 1955, on CBS Rating: TV-PG Premise: This landmark adult Western centered on Marshal Matt Dillon of Dodge City. John Wayne turned down the lead, suggesting James Arness (who remained for its entire run). Originating on radio (with William Conrad as Dillon), it moved to TV in September 1955. Its popularity spawned a number of copycats, but none would enjoy the longevity (and few the consistent quality) of this classic. Airing for 20 years, it's TV's longest running prime-time drama (a record that `Law & Order' is currently chasing). Gunsmoke Cast • James Arness : Marshal Matt Dillon • Milburn Stone : Dr. Galen `Doc' Adams • Amanda Blake : Kitty Russell • Dennis Weaver : Chester Goode • Ken Curtis : Festus Haggen • Burt Reynolds : Quint Asper • James Nusser : Louie Pheeters • Charles Seel : Barney Danches • Howard Culver : Howie Culver • Tom Brown : Ed O'Connor • John Harper : Percy Crump • Dabbs Greer : Mr. Jonus • George Selk : Moss Grimmick • Hank Patterson : Hank Miller • Glenn Strange : Sam • Sarah Selby : Ma Smalley • Ted Jordan : Nathan Burke • Roger Ewing : Clayton Thaddeus `Thad' Greenwood • Roy Roberts : Mr. Bodkin • Woody Chamblis : Mr. Lathrop • Buck Taylor : Newly O'Brien • Charles Wagenheim : Halligan • Pat Hingle : Dr. John Chapman • Fran Ryan : Miss Hannah Gunsmoke Credits • Sam Peckinpah : Screenwriter Gunsmoke Directors • Harry Horner : Director Gunsmoke Guest Cast • Aaron Saxon : Basset • Aaron Spelling : Weed Pindle • Abraham Sofaer : Harvey Easter • Adam West : Hall

  • The Significance of the Wasteland in American Culture
    Berkeley Undergraduate Journal 160 THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE WASTELAND IN AMERICAN CULTURE By Joshua Peterson n this paper, I examine the sense of restlessness and the resultant apocalyptic fantasy in contem- porary American culture by distilling two film genres—the Hollywood western and the post- apocalyptic—down to their basic structural elements. The post-apocalyptic genre’s aesthetic Iand thematic borrowing from the Hollywood western signifies a cynical critique of the frontier myth. In 1893, Frederick Jackson Turner presented The Significance of the Frontier in American His- tory, his “Frontier Thesis,” which mourns the closure of the frontier and celebrates the American institutions built upon it.1 The frontier only exists insofar as it is available for human exploration and settlement. Though the frontier is long gone, the desire for open space and freedom from social restriction remains prominent in American culture. The post-apocalyptic genre continues Turner’s mourning and indulges the fantasy of free and open space. In essence, it gives the frontier back to viewers by undoing everything that the frontier made possible. The characters in the post- apocalyptic genre then explore the possibilities of rebuilding society and struggle (and often fail) to avoid the mistakes of America’s historical past. In this sense, the wasteland functions as a revision of the frontier myth. This paper explores the post-apocalyptic genre’s view of the frontier myth as a trajectory towards civilization’s collapse. It posits a more cynical view of humanity and, in doing so, aims to expose the feet of clay on which our social order stands.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)” . If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again-beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.
