  • 46 Pola Negri in 1927
    Courtesy LofC, Prints & Photo Div, LC-DIG-ggbain-37938 Pola Negri in 1927 46 ARLINGTON HISTORICAL MAGAZINE Pola Negri Slept Here? Unraveling the Mystery of a Screen Siren's Stay in Arlington BY JENNIFER SALE CRANE With Arlington having few Hollywood connections to boast of, save For­ rest Tucker, Warren Beatty, Shirley MacLaine, and Sandra Bullock, the story about a modest stone bungalow nestled in the Gulf Branch stream valley off of Military Road is curious indeed. According to a long-held local legend, silent film star Pola Negri once stayed there. Local accounts have varied- some say the house was rented by Negri as her "Virginia hideaway," others think it was built as Negri and Rudolph Valen­ tino's love nest, and played host to Hollywood-style pool parties. The cozy bungalow at 3608 N. Military Road, 1 with quite a few additions and alterations, is now home to the Gulf Branch Nature Center, established in 1966 and operated by Arlington County Department of Parks, Recreation and Cultural Resources. The swimming pool, filled in and planted with a garden, can still be identified by the exposed segments of its curved concrete walls. The Nature Center's connection to the early Hollywood star was investi­ gated in the 1970s by ComeliaB. Rose, Jr., a founding member of the Arlington Historical Society. Rose's documentation leaves a few questions unanswered. But despite the lack of unequivocal primary source evidence, the story of Pola egri and the Gulf Branch Nature Center has become an important part of the oral tradition of Arlington County.

  • 1 Call for Papers FINA International Conference: Pola Negri and the Vicissitudes of Stardom Filmoteka Narodowa-Instytut Audiowi
    Call for Papers FINA International Conference: Pola Negri and the Vicissitudes of Stardom Filmoteka Narodowa-Instytut Audiowizualny, Warsaw, Wałbrzyska 3/5, 19-20 April 2018 Special Event of Silent Movie Festival (Święto Niemego Kina) Languages: Polish, English Deadline for submissions: 15 February 2018 We can say that 2017 was the year of Pola Negri: she was born 120 years earlier, it’s the 30th anniversary of her death, and the 100th anniversary of the premiere of Bestia, the only surviving film from the early Polish period of her career. On this occasion the National Film Archive-Audiovisual Institute, in pursuit of its mission to protect national cultural heritage, has carried out a restoration project of the film. The Polish re-premiere will take place in April 2018 at the annual Silent Movie Festival (Święto Niemego Kina). Pola Negri will be the main theme of both the festival and an International Conference, organized by FINA, with additional support by film scholars from leading Polish universities, in conjunction with the Giornate del Cinema Muto and in collaboration with EYE Filmmuseum. The conference will serve as a platform for exchanging information on the latest findings and offers a forum for exploring various aspects of Pola’s Negri career, including her legacy today, as well as the people of her epoch who shaped her artistic education, and those she in turn influenced. Topics of interest: The Polish beginnings of her career in ballet and theatre Aspects we hope to cover include the Polish theatrical and dance scene in the 1910s (The Warsaw Imperial Ballet School and its teachers at the beginning of the 20th century; the Imperial Academy of Dramatic Arts; Warszawskie Teatry Rządowe; Teatr Mały).

  • Pola Negri's Star Persona in America of the 1920S Agata Frymus
    Pola Negri’s Star Persona in America of the 1920s Agata Frymus Abstract This chapter looks at the construction of Pola Negri’s persona by discussing her films, as well as her off-screen antics. Negri’s figure was emblematic of a representation of an exotic and threatening foreign woman, the association which inevitably incapacitated her career in the American movie industry. Firstly, I position the iconography of the vamp in the cultural context of the era. The figure of a pagan, earthy female sexuality had been popularised at the end of the nineteenth century by symbolist painters and consequently re-invented in the America of the 1920s to mobilise fears surrounding the growing economic independence of women and to reflect concerns linked to the new wave of immigration. I will analyse the ways in which Negri’s movies re-enacted those anxieties through their gender portrayal. The femme fatale crosses the boundaries of patriarchal norms, class and ethnicity, and produces a threat. In films such as Spanish Dancer,1 Negri not only personified a threat to the status quo, questioning rigid limitations of sexuality, but above all represented an ethnic hazard. Her exotic otherness threatened to undermine the existing cultural order, making Negri a unique symbol of the possibility of foreign invasion. From the outset of the star’s relationship with American media, the press insisted on seeing her mainly through the prism of her European otherness. Many articles contained deliberate misspelling to convey Negri’s Eastern European accent. By the late twenties the representational scheme Negri was widely associated with fell out of fashion, marking a turning point in her career.

  • Forbidden Paradise
    HOLLYWOOD Programming Thanks to Henri Langlois FORBIDDEN PARADISE American cinema seemed to achieve perfection at that time: perfection of the cut, perfection of the stitching, perfection of the fabric. There is not haute couture only in Paris, just as there is not 'haute production' only in Hollywood. The perfection of taste and technique, absolute mastery, discretion in daring. Ernst Lubitsch was, in our memory, the man whose oeuvre will someday symbolize this perfection, this flawless style that was the distinctive feature of this art1. Henri Langlois In celebrating Henri Langlois, it is impossible to forget the prince of American comedy. It was François Truffaut who came up with the 'prince' expression, in February 1968, in an article in Cahiers du Cinéma that has since become famous, written just after the major (re)discovery retrospective organized by Henri Langlois at La Cinémathèque française. Truffaut insisted on the place that Lubitsch gave the public: 'No Lubitsch without a public but mind, the public is not in addition, it is with. It is part of the film.' It was in Max Reinhardt's German stage production of Sumurun that Pola Negri met Ernst Lubitsch, who was working as a director of short films at UFA. Lubitsch managed to convince UFA to make a film adaptation in costumes, starring Pola Negri. Sumurun (1920) was a huge success, so much so that their collaboration would continue on different films, culminating in the production of Madame Du Barry (1919), a worldwide success that brought Lubitsch and Negri international fame. He left for Hollywood in 1922 and made some ambitious films as well as, and above all, daring, sophisticated comedies such as The Marriage Circle, Three Women, Lady’s Windermere’s Fan and the least seen, Forbidden Paradise.

Cunard, who wrote and codirected this film with Francis Ford, is one of many “highly significant early female figures who have received only cursory attention in the histories of cinema.” Photo courtesy Museum of Modern Art Film Stills Archive Downloaded from http://read.dukeupress.edu/camera-obscura/article-pdf/16/3 (48)/1/400296/CO4801Introcs.pdf by guest on 27 September 2021 Introduction: Female Stardom and Early Film History Diane Negra Designed to explore specific cases of early female stars and the social, industrial, and ideological economies that underwrite the production of the star system, this issue of Camera Obscura takes a fresh look at early film history and the creative ventures of women performers. No single concept of stardom animates the essays gathered here; rather the stars discussed operate as figures through which the authors reconceptualize feminist film history and his- toriography. The inquiries made invite enlargement and reassess- ment of the subjects film studies deems significant for analysis; the assembled essays present the results of tracking alternative patterns, pathways, and modes of film history. Cumulatively contributing to what we hope will be a more panoramic view of the period between the early 1910s and the early 1930s, a twenty-year span in which narrative cinema first emerged, flourished, and moved to dominate cinematic produc- tion, the essays of this volume reflect a new energy in recent star scholarship even while they explore new modalities for exca- vating film history.

  • Major Swedish Retrospective of Classic Early Films
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE The Museum of Modern Art 11 West 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019 Tel. 956-6100 Cable: Modernart MAJOR SWEDISH RETROSPECTIVE OF CLASSIC EARLY FILMS See enclosed screening schedule .Two giants of the Swedish cinema, Victor Sjostrom and Mauritz Stiller, will be honored in a major historical retrospective to be introduced by the Department of Film of The Museum of Modern Art from February 3 through April 8, 1977. The new film exhibition, "Sjostrom, Stiller and Contemporaries," will present all the extant early works of these two master directors, with the exception of one unavailable print, "The Story of Gosta Berling." This will be the first time that these great silent Swedish films will be seen in the U.S. as a collection. Many other virtually unknown films dating from 1911 through 1929, which is called "The Golden Age of Swedish Cinema," will also be shown. The program is a unique opportunity to re-examine an important chapter in film history. Many of the films of Sj*ostrb*m and Stiller seem to have left a deep, strong impression even when they were first released, especially in America, Germany and Russia, according to Adrienne Mancia. The Museum Curator initiated this comprehensive retrospective, with the cooperation of Anna-Lena Wibom and her staff at the Swedish Film Institute, which is dedicated to the preservation of early Swedish film classics. Both Harry Schein, Chairman of the Board of the Institute, and Ms. Wibom, Director of the Institute's Cinemateque, will come to New York from Stockholm for the inauguration of this event.
