  • Movie-Going on the Margins: the Mascioli Film Circuit of Northeastern Ontario
    Movie-Going on the Margins: The Mascioli Film Circuit of Northeastern Ontario A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY JESSICA LEONORA WHITEHEAD GRADUATE PROGRAM IN COMMUNICATION AND CULTURE YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO February 2018 © Jessica Leonora Whitehead 2018 ii Abstract Northeastern Ontario film exhibitor Leo Mascioli was described as a picture pioneer, a business visionary, “the boss of the Italians,” a strikebreaker and even an “enemy alien” by the federal government of Canada. Despite these various descriptors, his lasting legacy is as the person who brought entertainment to the region’s gold camps and built a movie theatre chain throughout the mining and resource communities of the area. The Porcupine Gold Rush—the longest sustained gold rush in North America—started in 1909, and one year later Mascioli began showing films in the back of his general store. Mascioli first came to the Porcupine Gold Camp as an agent for the mining companies in recruiting Italian labourers. He diversified his business interests by building hotels to house the workers, a general store to feed them, and finally theatres to entertain them. The Mascioli theatre chain, Northern Empire, was headquartered in Timmins and grew to include theatres from Kapuskasing to North Bay. His Italian connections, however, left him exposed to changes in world politics; he was arrested in 1940 and sent to an internment camp for enemy aliens during World War II. This dissertation examines cinema history from a local perspective. The cultural significance of the Northern Empire chain emerges from tracing its business history, from make-shift theatres to movie palaces, and the chain’s integration into the Hollywood-linked Famous Players Canadian national circuit.

  • Constance Lindsay Skinner and the Birthright
    "VANCOUVER'S FIRST PLAYWRIGHT": Constance Lindsay Skinner and The Birthright JEAN BARMAN T CONSTANCE LINDSAY SKINNERS death in New York City in 1939, Time magazine described her as a "novelist, historian, Ajournalist" who "wrote mostly of frontier life."1 The assessment was apt and caught the essence of the woman. Born in 1877 in the Cariboo region of British Columbia, Constance worked for news­ papers in Vancouver, Los Angeles, and Chicago before moving to New York City in 1912. In making her living as a writer she drew repeatedly on the BC frontier of her childhood - never more so than in her play The Birthright. Constance Lindsay Skinner may have been Vancouver's, and possibly British Columbia's, first playwright to be professionally staged.2 In January 1912, her Biblical play David inaugurated the Forest Theater in the artists' colony of Carmel, California, whereupon the Vancouver Province newspaper dubbed her "Vancouver's First Playwright."3 Six 1 "Milestones," Time, 10 April 1939,72. On Constance Lindsay Skinner's life, see Jean Barman, Constance Lindsay Skinner: Writing on the Frontier (Toronto: University of Toronto Press, 2002). I am grateful to the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada for making possible the research upon which this essay and the book draw. Bob McDonald, Jerry Wasserman, Joan Bryans, and two insightful reviewers have shepherded the essay to publication, and I thank them. 2 Numerous persons living in British Columbia or identifying with the province wrote plays prior to Constance's entry into the genre in the 1890s. Even though limited to Canadian residents, Patrick B.
