    "7 NO. 5 The Museum of Modern Art FOR RELEASE JANUARY 14 11 West 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019 Tel. 955-6100 Cable: Modernart EARLY FILMS TO BE REVIVED AT MUSEUM "The Virginian," Cecil B. DeMllle's 1914 classic, from the novel by Owen Wlster, with Dustin Famun who played in the stage version, will be shown as part of a series of eleven early films to be presented from January 14 through January 25, at The Museum of Modern Art. The Jesse Lasky production of "The Virginian" will be introduced by James Card, Curator of the George Eastman House Motion Picture Study Collection in Rochester, which is providing the films on the Museum program. At the eight o'clock, January 14 performance, Mr. Card will introduce the film and address himself to the controversy over the direction of "The Virginian," one of the early silent feature films. The fact that Cecil B. DeMille directed has been in dispute over the years. On the same program with "The Virginian," another vintage film will be shown. Tod Browning's "The Unknown" starring Lon Chaney. Made in 1927, it was an original story by the director, called "Alonzo, the Armless." According to The New York Times Film Reviews, a recently published compilation of the paper's film criticism, "the role ought to have satisfied Mr. Chaney's penchant for freakish characterizations for here he not only has to go about for hours with his arms strapped to his body, but when he rests behind bolted doors, one perceives that he has on his left hand a double thumb." Joan Crawford plays the female lead in the film, about which Roy Edwards writes in Sight and Sound, the characters and special effects add up to a "thorough display of grotesqueries." Other notable films that are part of this film preservation program are "Cimarron," starring Richard Dix and made in 1931 from Edna Ferber's popular novel; "Dr.

    “Owen Wister and the Wild West” Symposium Held

    “Owen Wister and the Wild West” Symposium Held he American Heritage Center recently T hosted its 11th annual symposium “Owen Wister and the Wild West.” Co-sponsored by the University of Wyoming’s American Stud- ies Program, the conference explored the legacy of Wister and his famous novel, The Virginian, first published in 1902. That famous novel is widely considered to be the prototypical American Western novel. Wister (1860-1937) was born to wealthy parents in Germantown, Pennsylvania. Between 1885 and 1895 he traveled extensively in Wyoming and the West. He kept detailed diaries during these trips. Drawing upon material collected in his travels, Wister created a tough, yet genteel, Southern born ranch hand who came to be known as the Virginian. Between 1892 and 1902 Wister wrote a series of short stories about this character which were published in Harper’s Monthly magazine. In 1902 he tied these short D.C. Thompson, arrangement and description manager for the American stories together to create his famous novel. The Heritage Center, presenting her paper “The Virginian Meets Matt book was an immediate best seller and its Shepard: Myth-Making in the West” at the AHC’s symposium “Owen influence upon the Western genre continues to Wister and the Wild West.” be felt to this day. One of the highlights of the symposium of the West, dime novels, other western writers was the talk presented by John W. Stokes, such as Mary O’Hara and Jack Schaefer, and Wister’s grandson. Stokes spoke about his other myths as presented in the paper “The personal relationship with his grandfather and Virginian Meets Matt Shepard: Myth-Making in the importance of Wister’s writings.

    1 UNIVERSITY OF GUELPH COLLEGE OF ARTS SCHOOL OF ENGLISH AND THEATRE STUDIES COURSE TITLE: Print Culture and Cinema COURSE CODE: ENGL 2330 SEMESTER: LECTURE: INSTRUCTOR OFFICE: PHONE: EMAIL: OFFICE HOURS: COURSE WEBSITE: Access via: http://courselink.uoguelph.ca using your central login and password. COURSE DESCRIPTION: Print Culture and Cinema Two important cultural developments happened in the US, hot on the heels of each other, in the late nineteenth century: the explosion of cheap mass literature around 1860 and the onset of moving pictures around 1890. This course explores how print forms both fed and responded to the beginnings of cinema—by developing characters who were adopted by cinema, by representing the experience of cinema, and by creating texts which were adapted for the screen. Lectures will trace the beginnings of motion pictures—many of which we will watch, discuss and write about in class—up to the end of the silent era. Through lectures, readings, in-class discussion and written assignments, we will trace the impact of print forms on those cinematic developments—through a dime novel which shaped film-makers’ interests; a theatrical melodrama which became what is sometimes called the first film western; and a novel which represents the experience of these early cinematic forms. Critical essays will help us to understand the cultural impact of new entertainment technologies, new forms of spectatorship, and the politics of performance and cinematic genres. Finally, we will explore adaptations of two early-twentieth-century best-selling novels for the silent screen. COURSE OBJECTIVES: This is a reading-intensive course.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Research, Rhetoric, and the Cinematic Events of Cecil B. DeMille A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Satisfaction of the Requirement for the Degree of Doctor in Philosophy In Film and Television by Philip Joseph Wagner 2016 ©Copyright by Philip Joseph Wagner 2016 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Research, Rhetoric, and the Cinematic Events of Cecil B. DeMille By Philip Joseph Wagner Doctor of Philosophy in Film and Television University of California, Los Angeles, 2016 Professor Chon A. Noriega, Chair This dissertation looks to the career of epic cinema pioneer Cecil B. DeMille in order to grasp the role of the research department in the Hollywood studio system. Situated at the intersections of three areas of study—scholarship on the form and social function of popular historical representation; theorizing on the archive as a site of knowledge production; and studies on film authorship that attend to the historical underpinnings of aesthetic choices—the dissertation explores the following questions in particular: What were the industrial standards on which studio researchers based the success and authenticity of their work? And what can we know about the research process as it relates to the production and reception of DeMille’s brand of spectacular cinema? ii I offer this study as an intervention into previous scholarship on research practice in Hollywood, which too often stresses cinema’s divergence from the factual record and draws a rigid binary between academia’s histories and the “unprofessional” ones derived from research departments. This study takes a different approach by examining a wider range of archival materials, including studio library circulation records, scaled prop sketches based on photographs and artifacts, and researcher correspondence with historical consultants and museum curators.
