Historical Background Irene Saltern Salinger was a Hollywood fashion designer from 1937 until 1943 and a commercial fashion designer from 1943 until 1979. Born Irene Stern in Germany on January 30, 1911, Salinger grew up in Berlin. She had a privileged childhood and often spent time with her then next-door neighbor, Albert Einstein. After high school, Salinger attended fashion design school in Berlin. After graduating and marrying Harry Salinger, she worked as a fashion journalist, giving talks and traveling to fashion shows throughout Europe. While the Salingers were on their honeymoon, Harry lost his job as a judge. Salinger soon accepted an offer from a relative living in California, where she settled and began to pursue a career in costume design. While in California, Salinger attended a party where she met Max Factor's son-in-law. He helped her get a job in the publicity department at Universal Studios, which was to become her first Hollywood job. It was while working at Universal that Salinger changed her last name to Saltern, a combination of the names Salinger and Stern. Later she began working for Republic Pictures, designing costumes for western films in the late 1930s. Aspiring to design for feature films, Salinger obtained a position with Samuel Goldwyn Pictures in the 1940s as a fashion designer and later as the head of wardrobe design. Among the movies for which she designed costumes are Call of the Yukon (1938), Under Western Stars (1938), Gangs of New York (1938), The Howards of Virginia (1940), They Dare Not Love (1941), Time Out for Rhythm (1941), and Cheers for Miss Bishop (1941). In 1942, toward the end of her Hollywood career, Salinger was one of 13 designers highlighted at the Waldorf Astoria fashion show. Salinger won the prize at the show for creating a line that worked within the wartime clothing rations. She used the connections she made at the event as well as her connections in the film industry to become a designer for Hollywood Premiere, where she began her commercial design career. Salinger left Hollywood in 1943 and began to design women's sportswear for Tabak of California in 1950. There is evidence in her commercial fashion papers that, while working for Tabak, Salinger proved she was able to hold her own in an Guide to the Irene Saltern MS.P.059 2 Salinger Papers MS.P.059 industry dominated by men. She frequently voiced her opinions and sought recognition for her work as an individual. One example is illustrated in memoranda where Salinger voices her concerns about the size of her name on Tabak advertisements. In the late 1950s and 1960s, she worked for Phil Rose, Lanz of California, returned to work for Tabak, and also briefly headed her own firm, Irene Saltern of California. In the 1970s, Salinger designed for many different companies, including Pant Pouri, Nemy and Disegni. In 1979, Salinger left commercial fashion. She was best known for her influence in the women's sportswear industry, particularly her work as one of the originators of coordinated sportswear separates. Later in life she donated many of her movie sketches to the American Film Institute, the Los Angeles County Museum, as well as the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, where she was honored as one of the seven great designers of the golden age. She died September 4, 2005 in Newport Beach, California. The majority of this biographical note is sourced from written biographical information from Salinger's daughter-in-law, Lynda Lawrence Salinger, as well as from the collection itself. 1911 Irene Stern born in Berlin, Germany on January 30. 1929 Begins to study fashion. 1933 Marries Harry Salinger. 1934-1936 Works as a French fashion journalist and publishes papers in Paris, Berlin, Prague, Cairo, and Jerusalem. 1936 Sails on the U.S.S.

When, where and how their interaction and origin is begun? There should be no glamor and red carpet when The Lumière brothers short films like Workers leaving the Lumière factory, The Gardener, Baby’s Breakfast on the birth of cinema in 1895. However, we notice that artificially costumes are tailor-made for A Trip to the Moon in Georges Méliès and D. W. Griffith’s Intolerance. Suddenly, it adds the aesthetical and modernist elements into the blood of cinema beside the raw-realism of how the daily life of the common people is represented on the silver screen. Some kinds of bourgeois ideology and middle class value is enhanced. It is so unbelievable that some ordinary actress like Mary Pickford transforming into a movie star after beautifully dressing up. Not only the audience feel the power of movie magic but also the fashion magic. This paper explores the different perspective of movie and fashion in terms of fashion and film costumes, movie stars icon, fashion trends influenced by movies, and how fashion designers changes the look of cinema as well, etc. Keywords: ideology, movie images, stardom, fashionability Introduction Cinema is somehow like a showcase of fashion. General audiences are fans of movie stars not just because of their personal charisma, but because of the fashion they wear.

  • Films from the THIRTIES: PART II 1935-39
    t% The Museum of Modern Art 1] West 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019 Tel. 245-3200 Cable: Modernart No. 83 FOR RELEASE: Friday, August 25, I968 Films from THE THIRTIES: PART II 1935-39 The Museum of Modern Art, will present a retrospective of films from the thirties beginning August 23, and running through October 6. The Thirties, according to Willard Van Dyke, Director of the Department of Film, will consist of 39 pictures, representing some of the richest creative talent in American cinema at a time that has been called "the dear, dead days not beyond recall." Two years ago the Museum presented The Thirties, U.S.A., Part I, covering the first half of the decade. The films being shown now as Part II were made from 1935 ^^ 193 '• Among the pictures to be shown are: Frank Capra's "Lost Horizon"; Paul Muni in "The Life of Emile Zola," the Story of a Northern Jew's lynching in the South; the great thriller "Night Must Fall," an adaptation of the Emlyn Williams play starring Robert Montgomery; and "The Good Earth," a spectacle film in black and white, from Pearl Buck's popular novel, for which Luise Rainer won her second Academy Award, with Paul Muni in the starring role. The latter part of the thirties was characterized by further achievements in the musical film, largely due to the talents of Fred Astaire, who with Ginger Rogers starred in "Top Hat," and "Shall We Dance," both of which are in the retrospective. The most important contributions to the annals of films made in the thirties was the series of "snowball" comedies Hollywood turned out at a time of grim, economic hardships.

Lowell Interim University Librarian - 3 - this exhibit examines the history of Hollywood costume design from its inception to the end of the 20th century. In the early 1910s, costume design was little more than an afterthought, with silent screen actresses providing costumes from their personal wardrobes. However, during the Golden Age (1930- 1959), Hollywood realized how much publicity and money could be generated through its promotion of new fashion designs, and so set to work building an image of splendor, luxury, and endless consumption. Hollywood was, and is, a powerful social force that determines what is considered by the rest of the world to be beautiful and glamorous.

  • Gary Cooper ~ 51 Films
    Gary Cooper ~ 51 Films Frank James (later Gary) Cooper was born on 7 May 1901 in Helena, Montana. From the silent era through to 1961, Cooper built a solid reputation by playing strong, manly, distinctly American roles in a natural, understated manner. The son of English parents who had settled in Montana, in the years 1909-12 he lived and was educated in Dunstable, England. Otherwise, from the age of five, he spent his summers on his father's ranch in northern Montana and his winters in Helena, where for some time he was a near neighbour of Myrna Williams (later Loy). After finishing school he worked on the family ranch until 1922, when he enrolled at Grinnell College, Iowa to study art. After eighteen months of that, and some time in Chicago and Helena, fortune took his parents (and so him) to Los Angeles. After weeks of struggling to find gainful employment, he met two Montana friends, Jim Galeen and Jim Calloway, who were working as film extras and stunt riders in low-budget Westerns. They introduced him to another Montana cowboy, rodeo champion Jay "Slim" Talbot, who hooked Cooper up with a casting director. (Talbot later worked as Cooper's stuntman and stand-in for over thirty years, becoming a close friend and hunting companion in the process.) Cooper accepted work as a film extra for five dollars a day and a stunt rider for twice that amount with the intention of saving enough money to pay for a professional art course. But his appearance in 1926 Western The Winning Of Barbara Worth attracted sufficient notice that his acting career began to take off.
