  • The Lost Laugh
    #12 1 April 2020 Welcome to issue 12 of THE LOST LAUGH. I hope, wherever this reaches you, that you’re coping OK with these troubled times, and keeping safe and well. These old, funny films are a great form of escapism and light relief at times like these. In fact, I was thinking the other day that the times they were made in had their fair share of troubles : two world wars, the 1918 flu pandemic, the Wall Street Crash and the great depression, to name a few. Yet, these comics made people smile, often even making fun out of the anxi- eties of the day. That they can still make us smile through our own troubles, worlds away from their own, is testament to how special they are. I hope reading this issue helps you forget the outside world for a while and perhaps gives you some new ideas for films to seek out to pass some time in lockdown. Thanks to our contributors this issue: David Glass, David Wyatt and Ben Model; if you haven't seen them yet, Ben’s online silent comedy events are a terrific idea that help to keep the essence of live silent cinema alive. Ben has very kindly taken time to answer some questions about the shows. As always, please do get in touch at [email protected] with any comments or suggestions, or if you’d like to contribute an article (or plug a project of your own!) in a future issue. Finally, don’t for- get that there are more articles, including films to watch online, at thelostlaugh.com.

  • Sons of the Pioneers Charity Benefit Concert
    SONS OF THE PIONEERS CHARITY BENEFIT CONCERT The legendary Sons of the Pioneers will be appearing in concert on Saturday evening, November 3, at 6:30 p.m. at the Victor Valley College Performing Arts Center, in Victorville, California. This special charity performance will benefit the abused children served by the Happy Trails Children’s Foundation in Apple Valley, California. For decades, the Sons of the Pioneers have musically painted unforgettable images of the West; horses, cattle, cowboys, trails, tall timber, canyons and prairies. Their original songs like “Tumbling Tumbleweeds” and “Cool Water” are classics forever entwined into the lore and mystique of the American West. Both songs have been inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. The Sons of the Pioneers are the most highly awarded singing group of all time. Among their many prestigious awards, they have been inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame, the Western Music Association Hall of Fame, the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame and the National Cowboy Hall of Fame – Hall of Great Western Performers, for their legacy of works in literature, music, film and television that reflect the significant stories of the American West. The Smithsonian Institute named them as “National Treasures.” The Sons of the Pioneers history began in the fall of 1933 when a young man from Duck Run, Ohio, Leonard Slye, then only 22 years of age and living in Southern California, contacted two of his friends, Bob Nolan and Tim Spencer, to form a musical group. They worked long and hard to develop a unique close harmony sound that has had an enduring influence on American music to this day.

  • UNCERTAIN GLORY (The Other Casablanca) for THOMAS Mcnulty- in Appreciation and Gratitude*
    UNCERTAIN GLORY (The other Casablanca) For THOMAS McNULTY- in appreciation and gratitude* Uncertain Glory is the 29th in the celluloid career of Errol Flynn. The only film of Flynn’s released for the year 1944 falling between Northern Pursuit and Objective Burma. The first of a series of seven films (ultimately amended to three) to be made by Flynn’s company, Thomson Productions, which was contracted to Warners both for use of facilities and release arrange-ments. It has the distinction of being the 5th of 8 films in which Flynn would die, along with Charge of the Light Brigade, Dawn Patrol, The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex, They Died With Their Boots On, Rocky Mountain, Too Much Too Soon, and The Roots of Heaven). And also the 4th of 5 dealing with the subject of World War 2- the others being Desperate Journey, Edge of Darkness, Northern Pursuit, and Objective Burma. It’s Flynn’s first important film post-trial. He’s in mid-career, and about 33 years old. He is vulnerable and changed. And the performance shows it- someone in transition, from a boyish attitude toward life into a man’s more serious focus (remember we’re speaking about Flynn: he still had his extra-curricular activities- only less of them). At about this time he was paying alimony and support, married**, LIVING WITH Nora, a father, working on the novel Showdown (writing always having a calming effect), and a recently successful USO and bond tour (meaning public acceptance). He chose this film as his next project, and it DID NOT capitalize on (although there are the usual references to a young man in search of feminine company) the rape trial (the ordeal actually started on 10/11/42 with 2 policemen coming to the house and culminated in an acquittal on 2/6/43) by suggesting the new image he would ultimately be saddled with.

  • Dictionary of Westerns in Cinema
    PERFORMING ARTS • FILM HISTORICAL DICTIONARY OF Historical Dictionaries of Literature and the Arts, No. 26 VARNER When early filmgoers watched The Great Train Robbery in 1903, many shrieked in terror at the very last clip, when one of the outlaws turned toward the camera and seemingly fired a gun directly at the audience. The puff of WESTERNS smoke was sudden and hand-colored, and it looked real. Today we can look back at that primitive movie and see all the elements of what would evolve HISTORICAL into the Western genre. Perhaps the Western’s early origins—The Great Train DICTIONARY OF Robbery was the first narrative, commercial movie—or its formulaic yet enter- WESTERNS in Cinema taining structure has made the genre so popular. And with the recent success of films like 3:10 to Yuma and The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, the Western appears to be in no danger of disappearing. The story of the Western is told in this Historical Dictionary of Westerns in Cinema through a chronology, a bibliography, an introductory essay, and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries on cinematographers; com- posers; producers; films like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Dances with Wolves, The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, High Noon, The Magnificent Seven, The Searchers, Tombstone, and Unforgiven; actors such as Gene Autry, in Cinema Cinema Kirk Douglas, Clint Eastwood, Henry Fonda, Jimmy Stewart, and John Wayne; and directors like John Ford and Sergio Leone. PAUL VARNER is professor of English at Abilene Christian University in Abilene, Texas.

Hart came to the movies in 1914 from a long line of theatrical ex­ perience, mostly Shakespearean and while to many he is the strong, silent Western hero of film he is also the peer of John Ford as a major force in shaping and developing this genre we enjoy, the Western.
