Seagoon: I hadn't realised it was so foggy, but indeed it was so thick that I had to walk in front of myself with a blazing torch. Eccles: You're not the only one!

HATTIE JACQUES Born Josephine Edwina Jacques on February 7" 1922 She Went on to Become a Nationally Recognised Figure in the British Cinema of the 1950S and 60S
Hattie Jacaues Born 127 High St 1922 Chapter Twelve HATTIE JACQUES Born Josephine Edwina Jacques on February 7" 1922 she went on to become a nationally recognised figure in the British cinema of the 1950s and 60s. Her father, Robin Jacques was in the army and stationed at Shorncliffe Camp at the time of her birth. The Register of Electors shows the Jacques family residing at a house called Channel View in Sunnyside Road. (The register shows the name spelled as JAQUES, without the C. Whether Hattie changed the spelling or whether it was an error on the part of those who printed the register I don’t know) Hattie, as she was known, made her entrance into the world in the pleasant seaside village of Sandgate, mid way between Folkestone to the east and Hythe to the west. Initially Hattie trained as a hairdresser but as with many people of her generation the war caused her life to take a different course. Mandatory work saw Hattie first undertaking nursing duties and then working in North London as a welder Even in her twenties she was of a generous size and maybe as defence she honed her sense of humour after finding she had a talent for making people laugh. She first became involved in show business through her brother who had a job as the lift operator at the premises of the Little Theatre located then on the top floor of 43 Kings Street in Covent Garden. At end of the war the Little Theatre found itself in new premises under the railway arches below Charing Cross Station. -

David Tomlinson For a start, as a young man he had a stammer, somewhat of a drawback for an aspiring actor, and he had a difficult relationship with his solicitor father, Clarence, a cold man who preferred to be called CST and who thought David would never amount to much, regularly telling him to his face. David, however, has poor height perception and cannot master his landings. As young and handsome William Green he changed his name to include his first wife's so that it sounded more impressive for the photographic portrait work at which he was so good. David Tomlinson Trivia Follow That Horse! Only then did it dawn on David why his father had suggested he take a stage name when he began to enjoy success as an actor — Clarence had feared the Tomlinson name would become so well-known it might expose his secret.

Bank of America Cinema: January
BANK OF AMERICA CINEMA CLASSIC FILM SERIES JANUARY - JUNE 2010 FROM THE BOOTH The building is for sale, and who knows what the future will hold. What we can guarantee is at least another six months of great films. We’ve made sure this season will be one to remember, starting with G.W. Pabst’s silent masterpiece Pandora’s Box with live accompaniment by Jay Warren, and ending with Jane Russell’s, ah, assets in Howard Hughes’s notorious The Outlaw. In between, we’ve stocked up on films we’ve wanted to show for the past five years but couldn’t find through normal distributors—rare prints of such gems as Douglas Sirk’s weepie The First Legion, Anthony Mann’s scandalous God’s Little Acre, and John Cromwell’s elusive The Enchanted Cottage. Between March 13th and June 26th, blood pressures will rise and edges of seats will be perched on—we’re running the 1940 Republic serial The Mysterious Dr. Satan! And in April we have two radio films to celebrate the career of Chuck Schaden, who started this film series back in 1972. Thanks, Chuck. We literally wouldn’t be here without you.

Gb 1456 Thomas
GERALD THOMAS COLLECTION GERALD THOMAS COLLECTION SCOPE AND CONTENT Documents relating to the career of director GERALD THOMAS (Born Hull 10/12/1920, died Beaconsfield 9/11/1993). When Gerald Thomas died, his producer partner of 40 years Peter Rogers said: ‘His epitaph will be that he directed all the Carry On films.’ Indeed, for an intense 20-year period Thomas directed the Carry On gang through their innuendo laden exploits, and became responsible, along with Rogers, for creating one of the most enduring and endearing British film series, earning him his place in British popular culture. Thomas originally studied to become a doctor, before war service with the Royal Sussex Regiment put paid to his medical career. When demobilised in 1946, he took a job as assistant in the cutting rooms of Two Cities Films at Denham Studios, where he took Assistant Editor credits on Laurence Olivier’s Hamlet (1948) and the John Mills thriller The October Man (1947). In 1949, he received his first full credit as editor, on the Margaret Lockwood melodrama Madness of the Heart (1949). During this time Peter Rogers had been working as associate producer with his wife, producer Betty Box, on such films as It’s Not Cricket (1949) and Don’t Ever Leave Me (1949). It was Venetian Bird in 1952 that first brought Thomas and Rogers together; Thomas employed as editor by director brother Ralph, and Rogers part of the producer team with Betty Box. Rogers was keen to form a director/producer pairing (following the successful example of Box and Ralph Thomas), and so gave Gerald his first directing credit on the Circus Friends (1956), a Children’s Film Foundation production. -
