The room was lush with palm trees, bamboo, tapa, coconuts and even sported a periodic tropical rainstorm, said Greg Traynor, who visited with his family in 1940. The Hawaiian entertainers were the best in the world. The Hawaiian Room was so successful it created a wave of South Seas bars and restaurants that swept the country after World War II. In this column, we'll hear from some of the women who sang and danced there. They call themselves Ex-Lexes. courtesy Mona Joy Lum, Hula Preservation Society / 1957Some of the singers and dancers at the Hawaiian Room in the Lexington Hotel. The women relished the opportunity to "Singing at the Hawaiian Room was the high point of my life," perform on such a marquee stage. said soprano Mona Joy Lum. "I told my mother, if I could sing on a big stage in New York, I would be happy. And I got to do that." Lum said the Hawaiian Room was filled every night. "It could hold about 150 patrons. There were two shows a night and the club was open until 2 a.m. I worked an hour a day and was paid $150 a week (about $1,200 a week today). It was wonderful.

  • The Politics of Nelson Rockfeller´S Office of Inter-American Affair in Brazil During World War Ii
    Passagens. Revista Internacional de História Política e Cultura Jurídica, Rio de Janeiro: vol. 2 no.4, maio-agosto 2010, p. 181-216. AMERICANIZATION OF BRAZIL OR A PRAGMATIC WARTIME ALLIANCE? THE POLITICS OF NELSON ROCKFELLER´S OFFICE OF INTER-AMERICAN AFFAIR IN BRAZIL DURING WORLD WAR II AMERICANIZAÇÃO DO BRASIL OU ALIANÇA PRAGMÁTICA EM TEMPOS DE GUERRA? A POLÍTICA DO OFFICE OF INTER-AMERICAN AFFAIRS DE NELSON ROCKFELLER NO BRASIL DURANTE A II GUERRA MUNDIAL AMERICANIZACIÓN DE BRASIL O ALLIANZA PRAGMÁTICA EN TIEMPOS DE GUERRA? LA POLÍTICA DEL OFFICE OF INTER-AMERICAN AFFAIRS DE NELSON ROCKFELLER EN BRASIL DURANTE LA SEGUNDA GUERRA MUNDIAL AMÉRICANISATION DU BRÉSIL OU ENGAGEMENT PRAGMATIQUE EN TEMPS DU GUERRE? LA POLITIQUE DE L’ OFFICE OF INTER-AMERICAN AFFAIRS DE NELSON ROCKFELLER AU BRÉSIL PENDANT LA SECONDE GUERRE MONDIALE Ursula Prutsch ABSTRACT This article considers firstly the wide range of activities spearheaded by the Office of Inter-American Affairs (OIAA) in Brazil and the significance of this wartime institution. The OIAA was created in 1940 and headed by Nelson A. Rockefeller to combat Axis inroads into the South of the Western Hemisphere and deepen U.S. influence in the region. Toward this end it was engaged in a variety of spheres, including finance, commerce, and manufacturing industry, communications and mass media, culture and education. Its politics in Brazil, the most important hemispheric partner moreover, serves to illustrate the intertwining of economy, politics, and culture in United States foreign policy, especially towards Latin America. Secondly, the article will also show that the Brazilian government – rather than being a passive recipient of dictums from Washington – worked hard to appropriate the OIAA’s agenda to the demands of its 181 own interests in the ongoing nation-building process.

    Narrative Production RTF 366K ­ 08730 Spring Semester 2016 Class: Thursdays 9:30­12:30 CMB 4.122 Lab: Mondays 6­9pm CMB 4.118 Instructor: Deborah Eve Lewis Office hours ­ Wednesdays 1­4pm, CMA TA: Mitchell O’Hearn Independent Inquiry This course carries the Independent Inquiry flag. Independent Inquiry courses are designed to engage you in the process of inquiry over the course of a semester, providing you with the opportunity for independent investigation of a question, problem, or project related to your major. You should therefore expect a substantial portion of your grade to come from the independent investigation and presentation of your own work. Course Description This course is an intensive workshop in visual storytelling and non­dialogue filmmaking designed to build upon the fundamental production concepts and techniques first introduced in RTF 318 – Intro to Image & Sound. This class explores the expressive potential of image & sound through the production of 16mm film and digital video exercises and short films, ultimately preparing students for advanced narrative classes. Non­dialog filmmaking is the root of all filmmaking. It asks you to understand the basic principles of storytelling through images and sound and the relationship between the two. One simply cannot rely on expositional dialog, or worse, poorly written dialog. One must truly communicate solely through visual and aural storytelling. With technology moving so quickly these days, the ease of digital filmmaking has become our enemy. "The enemy of art is the absence of limitations" ­ Orson Welles Black & white reversal film, however, is completely unforgiving. Therefore, each shot and edit must be thought out creatively and technically – you must be confident in your creative decisions.

  • How Kodak Got Its Name
    ow KODAK GO ITS N ME [We are often asked where the name "Kodak" came from or to reveal the story behind its origin . We have printed this account of it to answer such inquiries more fully than a letter could. -Eastman Kodak Company] The word "Kodak" was first registered as a trademark in 1888, having been adopted the year before as the name of a camera that was to make photography everybody's hobby. This first Kodak cam­ era sold for $25 already loaded with film; and after 100 exposures, it was returned to the factory for the developing and printing of the pictures and the insertion of another roll of film. The cost of the processing and of the new roll of film was $10. The camera made excellent pictures. From that day to this, the Kodak trade­ mark has been applied to hundreds of products manufactured by Eastman Kodak Company. Partly on this account­ and partly because the legal profession has always considered it a "model" trade­ mark-"Kodak" has a kind of fame all its own. Just how the name came into being is known from personal accounts by people "who were there" and through remarks about it made by founder George Eastman himself-either orally to inquirers or in his letters. There has been some fanciful specula­ tion, from time to time, on how the name was originated. But the plain truth is: George Eastman invented it out of thin air! His most succinct statement in the matter was made to Samuel Crowther of SYSTEM Magazine in 1920: "I devised the name myself .
