  • Ancient Skiers Book 2014
    Second Edition - 2014 INTRODUCTION When I was asked if I would write the history of the Ancient Skiers, I was excited and willing. My husband, Jim, and I were a part of those early skiers during those memorable times. We had “been there and done that” and it was time to put it down on paper for future generations to enjoy. Yes, we were a part of The Ancient Skiers and it is a privilege to be able to tell you about them and the way things were. Life was different - and it was good! I met Jim on my first ski trip on the Milwaukee Ski Train to the Ski Bowl in 1938. He sat across the aisle and had the Sunday funnies - I had the cupcakes - we made a bond and he taught me to ski. We were married the next year. Jim became Certified as a ski instructor at the second certification exam put on by the Pacific Northwest Ski Association (PNSA) in 1940, at the Ski Bowl. I took the exam the next year at Paradise in 1941, to become the first woman in the United States to become a Certified Ski Instructor. Skiing has been my life, from teaching students, running a ski school, training instructors, and most of all being the Executive Secretary for the Pacific Northwest Ski Instructors Association (PNSIA) for over 16 years. I ran their Symposiums for 26 years, giving me the opportunity to work with many fine skiers from different regions as well as ski areas. Jim and I helped organize the PNSIA and served on their board for nearly 30 years.

  • Sun Valley Serenade“ (Dt
    Bemerkungen zu „Sun Valley Serenade“ (dt. Adoptiertes Glück) Erscheinungsjahr 1941 Regie: H. Bruce Humberstone Darsteller: Sonja Henie, John Payne, Glenn Miller, Lynn Bari, Dorothy Dandridge, Joan Davis, The Nicholas Brothers, Milton Berle Musik: Emil Newman Filmplakat Sun Valley Serenade (Motiv 1) Vorbemerkungen: Sonja Henie war eine sehr bekannte norwegische Eiskunstläuferin, die in den dreißiger Jahren des 20. Jahrhunderts große Erfolge bei den Olympischen Spielen, Weltmeisterschaften und Europameisterschaften feierte. 1936 entschloss sie sich, als Filmschauspielerin zu arbeiten. Hollywood unterstützte die Pläne von Sonja Henie sehr stark. Was lag näher, als die Stärken der Eiskunstläuferin zu nutzen und mit der sehr populären Big-Band-Musik von Glenn Miller zu koppeln. Zusätzlich wurde Dorothy Dandridge (später Hauptdarstellerin in Otto Premingers „Porgy und Bess“) und die tanzenden Nicholas Brothers verpflichtet. Ergebnis war ein erstklassiger Revuefilm. Glenn Miller trat erstmals als „Schauspieler“ in Aktion. Später trat er nochmals als Darsteller in den „Orchestra Wives“ auf. Beide Spielfilme sollen auf dieser Webseite besprochen werden. Handlung: In Idaho im Wintersportressort Sun Valley soll die prominente Sängerin Vivian Dawn (Lynn Bari) eine Skisaison lang auftreten. Dazu sucht ein Manager in New York eine entsprechende Big-Band, die die Begleitmusik liefern soll. Bei einer missglückten Probe feuert Vivian die ursprünglich vorgesehene Band. Zufälligerweise halten sich die Dartmouth Troubadours (Glenn Miller Big-Band) im gleichen Probestudio auf. Sie sind auf der Suche nach Auftritten für ihre Band. Der Pianist der Band Ted Scott (John Payne) kommt ins Gespräch mit der Sängerin und kann eine Probe mit der Sängerin vereinbaren. Die Dartmouth Troubadours proben mit ihr den späteren Millionen-Hit „Moonlight Serenade“.

  • Glenn Miller 1941 “Keep ‘Em Flying” America’S Number One Band
    GLENN MILLER 1941 “KEEP ‘EM FLYING” AMERICA’S NUMBER ONE BAND Dedicated to the Glenn Miller Birthplace Society June 2021 Prepared by: Dennis M. Spragg Glenn Miller Archives Glenn Miller and his Orchestra, Cafe Rouge, January 1941 A Pivotal Year 1941 was a pivotal year in the history of the United States and for America’s number one bandleader, Glenn Miller. As of January 1, all ASCAP-licensed music (most popular music) was off the air. Glenn broadcast with a replacement BMI-licensed theme, “Slumber Song.” On January 17, the band recorded the classic “Song of the Volga Boatmen,” Bill Finegan’s traditional music response to Jerry Gray’s treatment of “Anvil Chorus.” If not for the broadcasting industry vs. ASCAP dispute, these two all-time Miller hits might never have been written or performed. Further changes arrived to shake up the successful Miller musical organization. A gossip columnist ran a story about Marion Hutton’s pregnancy, which pushed her to stop performing sooner than anticipated. By January 1941, Marion was only appearing on Glenn’s “Chesterfield Moonlight Serenade” broadcasts and not at the Café Rouge. Miller had to replace her. A young “dimpled darling” named Dorothy Claire from LaPorte, Indiana was singing for bandleader Bobby Byrne. Dorothy was under contract for three years with Byrne. So when Bobby learned that Glenn Miller intended to hire Ms. Claire, he promptly sued Miller for $25,000. However, Claire joined the Miller band on January 8. Glenn offered her a salary of $250 per week, a significant raise from the $75 per week she earned with Byrne.

    Noorwegen / 2018 / 113 min / Noors en Engels met Nederlandse ondertitels Première datum Nederland: 31/10/19 Distributie: Arti Film VOF – Hilversum - www.artifilm.nl ; Tel.: 0623885005 Waargebeurd en fascinerend verhaal over de Noorse Sonja Henie, één van de grootste kunstschaatssters ter wereld en ‘uitvinder’ van deze sport. Sonja is 16 jaar oud als ze op de Winterspelen van 1928 Olympisch Goud wint. Een prestatie die ze herhaalt in 1932 en 1936. Daarmee is ze nog steeds de enige vrouw die dit Olympische resultaat solo boekte. In 1936 vertrekt ze naar Hollywood waar ze een aantal zeer succesvolle schaatsfilms maakt. Eind jaren dertig is ze de best betaalde Hollywood actrice en door lucratieve nevenactiviteiten en merchandising is ze één van de rijkste vrouwen ter wereld. In haar villa in Hollywood is ze altijd omringd door fans, minnaars en haar familie. Ze vertrouwt haar zaken blindelings toe aan haar oudere broer, maar gaandeweg begint haar roem te verbleken en als het financieel slecht gaat door foute investeringen verandert ze van een inspirerende en gefocuste sportster in een keiharde zakenvrouw die in de spotlight wil blijven staan.. Korte synopsis Waargebeurd verhaal over de Noorse Sonja Henie, één van de grootste kunstschaatssters ter wereld. Op drie opeenvolgende Winterspelen won ze Olympisch Goud met deze door haar “uitgevonden” sport. In 1936 vertrekt ze naar Hollywood waar ze de best betaalde Hollywood actrice werd. Het is het opmerkelijke verhaal van een fascinerende vrouw die er alles aan doet om in de spotlight te blijven staan. Oneliner Waargebeurd en fascinerend verhaal over kunstschaatsster en drievoudig Olympisch Kampioene Sonja Henie die eind jaren dertig de best betaalde Hollywood actrice werd.

  • Musical Movie Memories Discussion Guide for 1940S Music Run DVD Film Segments on a TV Or Projection TV System to an Assembled Group
    DiMusicalscussion Guide forMovi 1920s-30se MusicMemories Run film segments one at a time on a TV or projection system. Pause on the 4 questions at the end of each so the viewers can respond and share their memories woken by the film. This Discussion Guide suggests additional questions to aid the session leader. All films in this special program are filled with music, singers and bands from the late 1920s through the 1930s. Music has proven helpful in bringing smiles and distant memories even to seniors with alzheimers. Unlike regular volumes of Movie Memories with their vast variety, there may not be that much to discuss with some of the films. You can tell by reactions whether the viewers enjoy the films. Standard questions which can be applied to each segment are: Did you like the song? Do you like jazz and swing bands? Do you remember ___________? Would you like to watch the film again? What is your favorite song from this era? Do you want to see more Bing Crosby musicals? Etc. Do not hesitate to ask these simple questions again and again! Disc #1 Al Jolson Trailers We just watched coming attractions for 3 Al Jolson films: Wonder Bar (1934), Go Into Your Dance (1935) and The Singing Kid (1936). These “trailers” showed the highlights of three of Al’s films from the mid-1930s. Have you ever see the first sound film -- The Jazz Singer -- with Al Jolson on TV? Do the trailers make you want to see the complete movies? Who are your favorite singers, stars or dancers from 1930s Hollywood musicals? Glorifying the American Girl This 1929 musical comedy was produced by Florenz Ziegfeld and highlights Ziegfeld’s current star, dancer Mary Eaton.

  • GLENN MILLER Biography
    GLENN MILLER Biography February 5, 1940 Glenn Miller and his orchestra recorded the big-band classic "Tuxedo Junction." April 2, 1942 Glenn Miller and his orchestra recorded "American Patrol" at the RCA Victor studios in Hollywood. "A band ought to have a sound all of its own. It ought to have a personality." - Glenn Miller Alton Glenn Miller was born in Clarinda, Iowa on March 1, 1904. But it was in North Platte, Nebraska, several years later that Glenn actually got his musical start when, one day, his father brought home a mandolin. Glenn promptly traded it for an old battered horn, which he practiced every chance he got. In fact his mother worried, "It got to where Pop and I used to wonder if he'd ever amount to anything." In 1923, Miller entered the University of Colorado, although he spent more time traveling to auditions and playing where and whenever he could. After flunking three of his five courses one semester, Glenn dropped out to concentrate on his career as a professional musician. He toured with several orchestras and ended up in Los Angeles where he landed a spot in Ben Pollack's group, a band that included a guy named Benny Goodman. Here, Miller also got the chance to write some arrangements. Arriving in New York City, he soon sent for, and married his college sweetheart, Helen Burger in 1928, and for the next three years, earned his living as a free-lance trombonist and arranger. Miller played and recorded with the likes of Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey (who on several of their records, featured an up-and-coming singer by the name of Bing Crosby), Gene Krupa, Eddie Condon and Coleman Hawkins.
