Caldwell, Chair This project is located at the intersection of television and film studies and examines the causes and effects of disruption and convergence in the media industries through a case study of the struggle over Hollywood’s feature films on television before 1955. Since television began broadcasting in earnest in 1948, two years after Hollywood saw its box-office revenues decline precipitously from their all-time high in 1946, the important question to ask becomes: why did it take seven years for Hollywood’s features to make their way to television? Through an investigation of the efforts made by the film and television industries in the 1940s and 1950s to work towards feature films appearing on television, this project concludes that Hollywood’s feature films did not appear on television until 1956, not because of the long held assumptions that the film industry was either apathetic or hostile to the nascent television industry, but rather ii as a result of a complex combination of industrial, social, legal, and governmental forces.

We understand that every person leaves a unique legacy and that the greatest tribute is not grief but gratitude for a life well lived. We are privileged to have been entrusted by so many families over the years. This Distinguished Residents Book features the biographies and photos of some of those individuals whose legacies have impacted our lives 2 and helped to shape our culture and our community. It has been created to honor their memory and to inspire generations by their extraordinary accomplishments, tenacity and philanthropy. There are stars whose brightness is visible on earth although they have long burned out. There are people whose brilliance continues to light the world though they are no longer among the living.

The ceremonies, which took place in the plush Dorothy Chandler Pavilion of the Los Angeles Music Center, were carried live by Australia, Brazil, Canadla, Mexico, Venezuela, Puerto Rico and St. Thomas. Delayed-basis telecasts were seen in Colombia, Hong Kong, South Korea, Taiwan, the Philippines, New Zealand, Spain, Nicaragua, El Salvador and Peru. Also, the show was transmitted to Unilted States servicemen statiomed in for- eign lands via Armed Forc- Page design ai by JAY K sands of fans, many of whom had been' waiting in the bleachers since dawn, cheered and applauded their favorites of the silver screen. The lavishly staged Awards Presenta- tion program lasted more than three hours (the longest ever) and was high- lighted by ambitious musical production numbers, film clips from pictures and the extra-curricular performance of a "streaker", who enlivened that portion of the program considerably and man- aged to unnerve the usually unflappable Elizabeth Taylor. Outside the Dorothy Chandler Pavil- ion, star-struck fans had been gathering since dawn and the 3,000 bleacher seats were filled hours before the event, with several hundred more people thronging the sidewalk across the street.

  • Poverty Row Films of the 1930S by Robert J Read Department of Art History and Communication Studies
    A Squalid-Looking Place: Poverty Row Films of the 1930s by Robert J Read Department of Art History and Communication Studies McGill University, Montreal August 2010 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy All rights reserved. This work may not be reproduced in whole or in part, by photocopy or by other means, without permission of the author. Robert J Read, 2010. ii Abstract Film scholarship has generally assumed that the low-budget independent film studios, commonly known as Poverty Row, originated in the early sound-era to take advantage of the growing popularity of double feature exhibition programs. However, the emergence of the independent Poverty Row studios of the 1930s was actually the result of a complex interplay between the emerging Hollywood studios and independent film production during the late 1910s and 1920s. As the Hollywood studios expanded their production, as well as their distribution networks and exhibition circuits, the independent producers that remained outside of the studio system became increasingly marginalized and cut-off from the most profitable aspects of film exhibition. By the late 1920s, non-Hollywood independent film production became reduced to the making of low-budget action films (westerns, adventure films and serials) for the small profit, suburban neighbourhood and small town markets. With the economic hardships of the Depression, the dominant Hollywood studios were forced to cut-back on their lower budgeted films, thus inadvertently allowing the independent production companies now referred to in the trade press as Poverty Row to expand their film practice.
