SILENT FILMS CLASSIC MOVIES EARLY TALKIES - 1 - a Message from the Chair of the Marie Dressler Foundation ProgramSouvenir $5 .00 SILENT FILMS CLASSIC MOVIES EARLY TALKIES - 1 - A Message from the Chair of The Marie Dressler Foundation Dear Friends of the Vintage Film Festival, Thank you for your strong support and generosity. The Film Festival becomes stronger each year with your ongoing commitment. You allow students to proceed to a higher level of education in the field of Arts, Drama and Film. It gives us an opportunity to show old-time films that were produced with charm, talent and passion. We present a weekend of enjoyment through this exciting medium and hope that you enjoy the films as much as we enjoy presenting them for you. We would be delighted if you could take the time to visit the Marie Dressler House at 212 King Street West, Cobourg. The memorabilia that the Dressler Foundation has gathered is well worth your time to peruse. Once again, the members of both the Vintage Film Festival and the Marie Dressler Foundation thank you all. Delphine Patchett, Chair, Marie Dressler Foundation The Marie Dressler Foundation was established in 1989 to preserve the house where Marie Dressler is believed to have been born. The Foundation, led by Bob Amsbury and Bill Patchett, raised about $400,000 to buy and repair the building, which is now the home of the Marie Dressler Museum and the Town of Cobourg Visitor Information office. Our film festival celebrates the unique place Marie Dressler occupies in film as we screen her films and those of her contemporaries. Three Fine Friends To have enjoyed the support of loyal, helpful friends when they were needed has been the great good fortune of the Vintage Film Festival. Angus Read, Elwy Yost and Gerald Pratley certainly were such friends. As Honorary Chairman of the Marie Dressler Foundation from 1999 until 2010, Angus used his abundant energy and encouraging manner to see that our annual meetings proceeded smoothly and to promote our interests in town. Angus always “dressed to the nines” for our events, and many remember him alighting smartly from the rumble seat of a snazzy antique coupé after accompanying “Marie Dressler” in a ride along the main street of Cobourg. How fortunate we were to have had such a distinguished gentleman share our interest in Dressler House, enjoy classic film and to support the Vintage Film Festival. Elwy Yost also deserves our appreciation. After the 1989 fire at the Marie Dressler House Restaurant, the Foundation faced the monumental task of raising funds to save the building from demolition. How grateful our fund-raisers were to have Elwy Yost, famed first host of Saturday Night at the Movies, as headliner and speaker at the 1993 banquet. Years later we were delighted when Elwy chose our town as a whistle-stop on his Retirement Excursion. Gerald Pratley came along at exactly the right time. Terry Foord, co-chair of our first festival, remembers that he planned the programme as Gerald and Barrie Hayne and Cameron Tolton – both University of Toronto Professors of Cinema Studies – “brainstormed”, producing a wealth of film knowledge. Bill and Delphine Patchett, pillars of the Dressler Foundation, brought Gerald to Cobourg as their house guest and introduced to him to the home of Marie Dressler. These remarkable three men who saw the value of classic film and so many other members of the Toronto Film Society came to our side before we could afford the luxury of Victoria Hall and the Port Hope Capitol Theatre. These loyal film fans supported us when the festival was merely a “permanent floating’ weekend of great films and good fun. Barbara Garrick, Honorary Chair, Marie Dressler Foundation - 2 - A Message from the Chair of The Vintage Film Festival Whenever you come across a name in this souvenir program for the 19th Annual Marie Dressler Foundation Vintage Film Festival – VFF from here on – please make a mental note and utter a silent thank you for all that each has done for us this year. I’m referring to our fund-raisers, sponsors, donors and supporters who generously give the resources we need; our review writers who cheerfully meet our deadlines; all the businesses and organizations who support us by displaying our advertising, or providing an Internet link; our friends in the social media who spread the word for us; our patrons old and new who give us a purpose; and most of all the VFF committee members, first among whom is Lynn Hardy, our Past Chair, whose shoes I am trying hard to fill in my first year as VFF Chair. What you may not know about the VFF is that it is run entirely by volunteers. Our committee members started work on the 2011 festival on the same night that the 2010 festival closed. They had a bit of a party as well, but you can be sure that the focus of conversation was mostly about what we should do next year and how we would go about constantly improving our already good model. Let me repeat: this festival has no paid staff. The dozen or so committee members each donate scores of hours producing the festival you look forward to enjoying, and your enjoyment is their satisfaction. This dozen and their immediate predecessors on the committee are the ones who fill me with gratitude and pride to be their colleague and chair. If work on the 2011 festival began on the night the 2010 festival closed, work on the 2012 festival has been going on since about May of this year. The 2012 festival will be the 20th, and we are determined to make it a worthy celebration. You can expect the usual super program of films, a unique partnership with the4th Line Theatre, which is considering a new, not-to-be-missed play about Marie Dressler for its 2012 summer season, and a continuation of our value-added event-planning with more new events like the brown bag luncheon we added this year, and the draw for film prizes that began in 2010. One of our plans is to arrange a partnership with the National Film Board of Canada. Stay tuned for details. As our special plans for the October 26-28, 2012, festival take shape, we’ll be telling you about them on our Website, http://www.vintagefilmfestival.com, on Twitter Twitter@poced, and on our Facebook page: Marie Dressler Foundation Vintage Film Festival. We hope you will use these same links to let us know your questions and suggestions. Or send us a note to: Vintage Film Festival c/o Marie Dressler House 212 King Street W Cobourg, ON K9A 2N1 For now, please concentrate on your enjoyment of this year’s festival. Be sure to meet and talk with your fellow festival- goers, and seek out particularly our committee members who are anxious to note your reactions to this festival and your hopes for next year’s big show. Chris M. Worsnop Chair About our 2011 Souvenir Program: For the portrait of Marie Dressler on our cover, we turned to Cobourg Art Club, which meets regularly in Cobourg Public Library. Enlisting the aid of another local institution in finding excellent cover material seemed to us a splendid idea. Fortunately, the art club agreed. We suggested that members who were interested show their work to us, with one to be chosen. To the club and particularly those who participated, we offer many thanks. As for Sue Auld, whose charcoal-and-watercolour portrait of our favourite vintage actress adorns our cover, we’re extremely glad she joined the art club when she and her husband moved to Northumberland County from Toronto. - 3 - PROGRAMME Friday, October 28th VICTORIA HALL, COBOURG 4:15 p.m. Registration 5:20 p.m. Town Crier/Announcements 5:30 p.m. The Major and the Minor (1942) 7:10 p.m. Reception 8:00 p.m. Presentations 8:15 p.m. The Patsy * (1928) 9:35 p.m. Break 9:50 p.m. Peach O’Reno (1931) 11:00 p.m. Program finishes Saturday, October 29th CAPITOL THEATRE, PORT HOPE 8:45 a.m. Registration 9:00 a.m. The Scarlet Pimpernel (1934) 10:40 a.m. Break 11:00 a.m. It* 12:15 p.m. Lunch and Brown Bag discussion – The Hays Code – Cathie Houston 2:00 p.m. In Which We Serve (1942) 3:55 p.m. Break 4:15 p.m. The Shop Around the Corner (1940) 5:55 p.m. Dinner 7:45 p.m. The Public Enemy (1931) 9:10 p.m. Break 9:30 p.m. In the Good Old Summertime (1949) 11:15 p.m. Program finishes Sunday, October 30th CAPITOL THEATRE, PORT HOPE 10:00 a.m. Registration 10:30 a.m. The Enchanted Cottage 12:00 a.m. Lunch 2:00 p.m. Tol’able David* 3:20 p.m. Break 3:35 p.m. To Be or Not To Be 5:15 p.m. Program finishes * Silent Piano accompaniment to Silent films on Friday and Saturday will be by Andrei Streliaev.

  • Paradoxes of Neorealist Architecture
    İstanbul Ticaret Üniversitesi Fen Bilimleri Dergisi Yıl: 13 Sayı: 26 Güz 2014 s. 49-59 PARADOXES OF NEOREALIST ARCHITECTURE ∗ Didem BOYACIOĞLU ABSTRACT Neorealism is one of the most important movements in the history of Italian literature, cinema and architecture. Flourished especially after the Second World War, Neorealism sought to deal with the economic and social problems of the postwar period within the concept of “reality” which involves some paradoxical meanings. This paper aims to accentuate those paradoxical aspects of Neorealist architecture by focusing on Tiburtino District which is supposed to be the most notable example of Neorealism. The subject is discussed with the titles of “designed history”, “erased architectural composition”, “studied happenstances”, “imperfection of religion” and “aesthetics of ugly”. Keywords:Neorealism, Neorealist architecture, Tiburtino District NEOREALİST MİMARİNİN PARADOKSLARI ÖZET Neorealizm ya da Yeni Gerçekçilik Akımı II. Dünya Savaşı sonrasında İtalya’da ortaya çıkmış ve İtalyan sinema, edebiyat ve mimarlık tarihi içerisinde önemli izler bırakmış bir akımdır. Savaş sonrası toplumun içinde bulunduğu ekonomik ve sosyal sorunlara yönelen bu akım “gerçeklik” teması üzerinden gelişmiştir. Bununla birlikte ulaşılmaya çalışılan gerçekliğin bazı paradoksal yaklaşımlara yol açtığı görülmektedir.Bu yazıda Neorealist mimarinin içerdiği paradokslara dikkat çekilmesi ve konunun bu bağlamda tartışılması amaçlanmaktadır. Neorealizmin en dikkate değer örneklerinden biri olan Tiburtino yerleşimi esas alınarak yapılan değerlendirmeler tasarıma hakim olan dualist yaklaşımı ortaya koymaktadır. Anahtar Kelimeler: Neorealizm, Neorealist mimari, Tiburtino Yerleşimi ∗ [email protected] Didem BOYACIOĞLU 1. INTRODUCTION The immediate postwar period of the late 1940s in the history of the Italian art and architecture is dominated by the impact of Neorealism. The atmosphere that existed throughout the Italy after the war was depressing: the country was suffering from poverty, unemployment and alienation.

  • The Cat's Meow
    THE CAT’S MEOW PRODUCTION NOTES Directed by Peter Bogdanovich SYNOPSIS From award-winning screenwriter Steven Peros and acclaimed director Peter Bogdanovich comes The Cat’s Meow, an extraordinary look at a fateful excursion of “fun and frolic” aboard William Randolph Hearst’s private yacht in November of 1924 that brought together some of the century’s best-known personalities and resulted in a still-unsolved, hushed-up killing. As Hearst and his lover actress Marion Davies set sail from San Pedro Harbor early one Saturday morning, hosting a small group that includes the brilliant but self-absorbed Charlie Chaplin, film pioneer Thomas Ince preoccupied with his recent financial setbacks, ambitious gossip columnist Louella Parsons, and the eccentric British Victorian novelist Elinor Glyn, it quickly becomes clear that although witty repartee and double entendre are the order of the day, deceit and deception are also on the menu. Everyone, it seems, has a secret agenda: Ince, whose pioneering work in defining the role of the film producer has been favorably compared to D.W. Griffith’s contributions to directing, is determined to seal a partnership with Hearst’s Cosmopolitan Pictures despite W.R.’s seeming lack of interest; New York-based film critic Louella Parsons has her eye on a transfer to the west coast where she can cover the film industry more intimately; Ince’s lover, actress Margaret Livingston, no longer cares to keep their affair a secret; Hearst himself suspects that his paramour Davies has been unfaithful with the legendary comic Chaplin; and Chaplin indeed schemes to steal away the beautiful actress from the richest man in the world.

WEEDON..................................................... An Introduction to Elinor Glyn: Her Life and Legacy Abstract: This special issue of Women: A Cultural Review re-evaluates an author who was once a household name, beloved by readers of romance, and whose films were distributed widely in Europe and the Americas. Elinor Glyn (1864–1943) was a British author of romantic fiction who went to Hollywood and became famous for her movies. She was a celebrity figure of the 1920s, and wrote constantly in Hearst’s press. She wrote racy stories which were turned into films—most famously, Three Weeks (1924) and It (1927).

Glyn has become a peripheral figure in histories of this period, marginalized in accounts of the youth-centred ‘flapper era’.
