  • Ronald Davis Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts
    Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts in America Southern Methodist University The Southern Methodist University Oral History Program was begun in 1972 and is part of the University’s DeGolyer Institute for American Studies. The goal is to gather primary source material for future writers and cultural historians on all branches of the performing arts- opera, ballet, the concert stage, theatre, films, radio, television, burlesque, vaudeville, popular music, jazz, the circus, and miscellaneous amateur and local productions. The Collection is particularly strong, however, in the areas of motion pictures and popular music and includes interviews with celebrated performers as well as a wide variety of behind-the-scenes personnel, several of whom are now deceased. Most interviews are biographical in nature although some are focused exclusively on a single topic of historical importance. The Program aims at balancing national developments with examples from local history. Interviews with members of the Dallas Little Theatre, therefore, serve to illustrate a nation-wide movement, while film exhibition across the country is exemplified by the Interstate Theater Circuit of Texas. The interviews have all been conducted by trained historians, who attempt to view artistic achievements against a broad social and cultural backdrop. Many of the persons interviewed, because of educational limitations or various extenuating circumstances, would never write down their experiences, and therefore valuable information on our nation’s cultural heritage would be lost if it were not for the S.M.U. Oral History Program. Interviewees are selected on the strength of (1) their contribution to the performing arts in America, (2) their unique position in a given art form, and (3) availability.

    BEHIND THE BIG DESK: HOW NEWS PARODY RESTRUCTURED THE NETWORK LATE NIGHT TALK SHOW AND REINVENTED AN AMERICAN ART FORM A Senior Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts in American Studies By Alexander Mitchell Washington, D.C. April 19, 2018 Copyright © 2018 Alexander Mitchell All rights reserved ii BEHIND THE BIG DESK: HOW NEWS PARODY RESTRUCTURED THE NETWORK LATE NIGHT TALK SHOW AND REINVENTED AN AMERICAN ART FORM Alexander Mitchell Thesis Adviser: Brian Hochman, Ph.D. ABSTRACT On June 16, 1960, Senator John F. Kennedy bounded into Studio 6B in 30 Rockefeller Plaza in New York City. Tonight Show host Jack Paar had invited Kennedy onto his program as the first presidential candidate to appear on late night television. Paar treated Kennedy with deference and worked to keep his program largely apolitical, focusing mostly on charming banter with the candidate and questions about his personal life. However, despite Paar’s best efforts, the press slammed him for being too political by even having a politician on his program. Fast- forward fifty-six years to 2016. In the exact same studio, Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon conducts a similarly friendly interview with controversial presidential candidate, Donald Trump. Once again the host is widely attacked by the presses. But this time the criticism isn’t that Fallon was being too political, it was that he wasn’t being political enough. In this senior thesis I explore what changes occurred over this six-decade span to make Americans expect more from our late night talk show hosts.

  • The Origins and Earliest Surviving Live Tv Broadcast Recordings
    Television Recording Origins: Oldest Surviving Live TV Broadcast – R. Shagawat TELEVISION RECORDING – THE ORIGINS AND EARLIEST SURVIVING LIVE TV BROADCAST RECORDINGS By Robert Shagawat E Mail: [email protected] Abstract Of Information as of October 4, 2004 updated October 2010 – April 2011 1947 DuMont RA-103 TV Set Early Kinescope Recording Machine Called the Chatham (or “Doghouse”) model Introduction - Oldest Surviving Record of Live Television Program: What is the earliest surviving live television broadcast recording? It is surprising how little definitive research and solid information is available on this topic. This article seeks to answer this question, based on what we know today. Lack of Prior Research: While there has been a significant amount of research done on the oldest surviving live radio broadcast airchecks (from 1925 or earlier), there is a scarcity of comprehensive research on the earliest live TV transmission recordings that are still in existence. This dearth of information on what remains of the formative years of television was not anticipated, given the vital importance of the TV legacy to the “baby boomers” raised on the media. It is also amazing, given the relatively recent appearance of television during the 20th century (where more documentation of its earliest records would be thought to exist). Historic Means of Capturing Live Television: First of all, we must understand how early TV broadcasts could be captured in the days before videotape and later analog and digital recording methods (as will be further elaborated below). The kinescope recording was filmed from the kinescope or cathode ray tube TV receiver, where these films of live television as taken from the kinescope device were soon themselves just called “kinescopes”.
