Wood iii Copyright © 2019 Kelly Clayton iv ABSTRACT FROM MIDWAY TO MAINSTAGE: DALLAS STRIPTEASE 1946-1960 Kelly Clayton, MA Texas A&M University-Commerce, 2019 Advisor: Jessica Brannon-Wranosky PhD The entertainment landscape of post-World War II Dallas, Texas included striptease in different types of venues. Travelling and local striptease acts performed at the city’s annual fair and in several nightclubs in the city. In the late 1940s, the fair featured striptease as the headlining act, and one of the city’s newspapers, the Dallas Morning News, described the dancers as the most popular attraction of the largest fair in the United States. Further, the newspaper reporting congratulated the men who ran the fair for providing Texans with these popular entertainment options. The dancers who performed at the fair also showcased their talents at area nightclubs to mixed gender audiences. Dallas welcomed striptease as an acceptable form of entertainment. However, in the early 1950s, the tone and tenor of the striptease coverage changed. The State Fair of Texas executives decried striptease as “soiled” and low-class. Dancers performed in nightclubs, but the newspaper began to report on one particular entertainer, Candy Barr, and her many tangles with law enforcement.

  • In the Supreme Court of Iowa
    IN THE SUPREME COURT OF IOWA No. 10–0898 Filed July 27, 2012 MALL REAL ESTATE, L.L.C., an Iowa Limited Liability Company, Appellant, vs. CITY OF HAMBURG, an Iowa Municipal Corporation, Appellee. Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Fremont County, Greg W. Steensland, Judge. An establishment appeals an order denying its request for an injunction enjoining a city from enforcing an ordinance regulating nude dancing. REVERSED AND REMANDED WITH INSTRUCTIONS. W. Andrew McCullough, Midvale, Utah, and Brian B. Vakulskas and Daniel P. Vakulskas of Vakulskas Law Firm, Sioux City, for appellant. Raymond R. Aranza of Scheldrup Blades Schrock Smith Aranza, P.C., Cedar Rapids, for appellee. 2 WIGGINS, Justice. The operator of an establishment offering nude and seminude dance performances sought an injunction restraining a city from enforcing its ordinance regulating nude and seminude dancing. The district court found that state law did not preempt the ordinance and that the ordinance was constitutional. On appeal, we find that state law preempts enforcement of the ordinance and that it is unenforceable against the establishment. Accordingly, we reverse the judgment of the district court and remand the case with instructions to the court to enter an order enjoining the city from enforcing its ordinance against the establishment. I. Background Facts and Proceedings. On December 8, 2008, the Hamburg city council passed chapter 48 of its city code. The ordinance, known as the “Sexually Oriented Business Ordinance,” contains provisions relating to licensing and zoning and imposes a range of regulations upon sexually oriented businesses. The stated purpose of the ordinance is to “regulate sexually oriented businesses in order to promote the health, safety, morals, and general welfare of the citizens of the City, and to establish reasonable and uniform regulations to prevent the deleterious secondary effects of sexually oriented businesses.” Hamburg, Iowa, Code § 48.010.01 (Dec.

  • Nudity Rider Basics
    Nudity and Simulated Sex For actors new to the industry, actors Rider Basics without representation, background actors, and day players Nudity Riders A nudity rider, or simulated sex rider, is a contract between an actor and the production they are hired by that defines what will happen onset when filming nude, intimate, simulated sex, or simulated sexual assault scenes. It might also be called a nudity waiver, simulated sex act rider, simulated sex waiver, intimate scene rider, or proposed written consent. Any actor filming a nude, intimate, simulated sex, or simulated sexual assault scene, or appearing nude or simulating a sex act onset, even if not depicted in the film, shouldnegotiate terms for a nudity rider before filming begins. The casting professional who hires you will tell you if the role requires intimacy or nudity. The Basics Below are the basic terms that should be included in a nudity sex rider. Under SAG-AFTRA rules, producers are required to provide principal performers with proposed riders at least 48 hours in advance of call time. The SAG-AFTRA rules governing nudity riders differ for background actors. It falls on the casting agencies hiring background actors to obtain as much information as possible from the producer regarding nudity or simulated sex acts in the role and inform you prior to booking. If you are NOT notified of nudity or simulated sex in advance of your call time, you may refuse to engage in the performance and still get paid for the day. You (or your representative, if you have one) should discuss the terms with the person the production has designated to manage nudity riders.

  • Playing by Pornography's Rules: the Regulation of Sexual Expression
    PLAYING BY PORNOGRAPHY'S RULES: THE REGULATION OF SEXUAL EXPRESSION DAVID COLEt INTRODUCTION Sometimes a sentence is worth a thousand words. In 1964, as the Supreme Court stumbled toward a constitutional approach to obscenity, Justice Potter Stewart suggested that only "hard-core pornography" should be suppressed.' He admitted that the category may be incapable of "intelligibl[e]" definition, but 2 nonetheless confidently asserted, "I know it when I see it." Justice Stewart's sentence captures the essence of the Court's sexual expression jurisprudence, which rests more on the assertion of distinctions than on reasoned analysis. For many years, the Court, unable to agree upon a doctrinal framework for obscenity regulation, simply ruled by per curiam judgments, without offering any explanation for what it was doing.' When the Court did attempt to explain its actions, some suggested that it would have been better off maintaining its silence.' The Court has now put forward a set of doctrinal "rules" that in the end do little more than obscure what is basically Stewart's intuitive approach. In defining obscenity, the Court has advanced an incoherent formula that requires the application of "community t Professor of Law, Georgetown University Law Center.

  • San Diego's Bygone Burlesque: the Famous
    San Diego’s Bygone Burlesque: The Famous Hollywood Theatre1 Winner of the Joseph L. Howard Memorial Award by Jaye Furlonger Burlesque, one of America’s most significant contributions to popular entertainment in the pre-radio and television era, played an important role in San Diego’s social and cultural history. The legendary Hollywood Theatre put the city on the map as one of the best places in the entire country to find “big time” burlesque, often referred to as the “poor man’s musical comedy.”2 During the 1940s and 1950s, it became a major stopping point on the West Coast circuit for such big-name striptease artists as Tempest Storm, Betty Rowland, and Lili St. Cyr.3 The 1960s, however, brought an end to its “golden era,” and by 1970 the Hollywood was the last great burlesque palace to close on the West Coast. The construction of Horton Plaza in the 1980s eliminated any visible trace of the colorful, bygone world that existed at 314-316 F Street. People now park their cars where the Hollywood once stood and look to shopping and movies for entertainment, not musical comedy. The glamorous headlining striptease artists seductively advertised on the marquee and the droves of young sailors who crowded the sidewalk lining up to see pretty girls and comics have faded into the past. Early burlesque takes root in San Diego: 1880s – 1920s The first American burlesque shows developed in eastern metropolitan centers during the late nineteenth century. The shows played on people’s desires to laugh and lust, the key factors that helped spread its popularity to the far reaches of the country, despite its perceived threat to the social and moral order.
