  • State Fair by Aubrey Solomon
    State Fair By Aubrey Solomon Philip Stong, an Iowa newspaperman who had experienced life on a farm, published his first novel, “State Fair,” in the spring of 1932 and it became a nationwide bestseller. The motion picture rights were quickly purchased by Fox’s head of production, Winfield Sheehan, for a reported $15,000. Fox had suffered three years of withering financial returns due to the Depres- sion economy, an over-expansion of its theater chain, and protracted near- bankruptcy litigation. Sheehan saw “State Fair” as a potential blockbuster even though its rural tone and char- acters were atypical for a high-budget production.

  • Quiet on the Western Front
    All Quiet on the Western Fro/if (U.S., 1930): The Antiwar Film and the Image of Modern War John Whiteclay Chambers II More than any other American feature fllm in the interwar years. All Quiet on the Western Front (U.S., 1930) came to represent the image of World War 1, In a poignant saga of the life and death of a sensitive young German recmit, the film vividly portrays the senseless horror of trench warfare on the westem front. Explosive sound effects accom- pany powerful visual images—it was one of the flrst "talking" pic- tures—to produce an emotionally wrenching viewing experience. It di- rectly contributed to the widespread revulsion against such slaughter and against indusfrialized mass warfare in general. All Quiet on the Western Front became the classic antiwar movie, hailed as a brilliant and powerful work of fllm art and widely imitated,' It achieved that classic status for historical and political reasons as much as for the cinematographic excellence with which it brought to the screen the war novel of an embittered young German veteran and writer, Erich Maria Remarque.^ For the film speaks to ideology and history as well as to art. Half a century later, the very title remains highly evocative. It has emotional signiflcance even for those whose understanding of World War I comes primarily from sepia pictures in history books. Now blended in public memory, the novel and film have come, like the young protagonist, the schoolboy-soldier Paul Bäumer, to symbolize the transformative horror of the westem front. It is a horror that re- mains embedded in Westem consciousness as a consequence of World WarL The fllm was based on the tremendously popular novel All Quiet on the Western Front (in the original German, Im Westen nichts Neues [lit- erally.

    Universal Pictures: Restorations and Rediscoveries, 1928–1937 Screening Schedule May 13–June 15, 2016 The Roy and Niuta Titus Theaters King of Jazz. 1930. USA. Directed by John Murray Anderson. In his push to establish Universal as a first-rank studio, Junior Laemmle put two super-productions on the schedule at once: the Oscar-winning All Quiet on the Western Front and this spectacular musical revue built around the popular band leader Paul Whiteman. We’re proud to present the world premiere of Universal’s brand-new digital restoration of King of Jazz, now restored to its full length, with its two-color Technicolor burnished to its original glory. “Rhapsody in Blue,” which Whiteman commissioned from George Gershwin, provides a lavish centerpiece—and a problem for “color supervisor” Natalie Kalmus, since blue was one hue early Technicolor could not reproduce. 98 min. FRI, MAY 13, 7:00 T1; SAT, MAY 14, 2:00 T1; TUE, JUN 14, 7:00 T3 Law and Order. 1932. USA. Directed by Edward L. Cahn. Adapting a novel by W. R. Burnett (Little Ceasar), director Cahn delivers a stylistically innovative, early anti-Western shot through with the violence and cynicism of the gangster era. Walter Huston (whose son, John, contributed to the screenplay) plays a Wyatt Earp–like figure pressed into cleaning up the town of Tombstone—clearly a hopeless task. Harry Carey, star of many early Universal Westerns, lends support. 57 min. SAT, MAY 14, 4:30 T2; SAT, MAY 21, 5:00 T1 Broadway. 1929. USA. Directed by Paul Fejos. The great Hungarian stylist Paul Fejos (Lonesome) received a million-dollar budget for this adaptation of George Abbott’s stage success, a backstage musical with a gangster twist.
