Greetings from the Executive Director Dear Friend and Supporter of Senior Center of West Seattle, It is with deep appreciation and gratitude that I write to share news that, after over 6 exceptional years, I will be retiring from my role as the Executive Director of the Senior Center of West Seattle. I will be leaving to spend more time with family and friends and follow my lifelong dream of travelling internationally. My time at the Center has been the singular best experience in my professional life. The past 6 years spent here at our “Jewel of the Junction” have enriched me as a leader and as a human being. I am extraordinarily proud of our fulfilling and important work providing a welcoming, inclusive second home where all seniors and those who love them can feel safe, included and vital. In 2019, we served over 4100 seniors in West Seattle. As the Center approaches it’s fiftieth anniversary in West Seattle, it is more vibrant and successful than ever. The center’s financial foundation is strong and continues to thrive as we meet the needs of our participants and stakeholders. The building has been renovated twice to increase capaci- ty and programming. Rainbow bingo has been sold out for over five years, and, because of you, our annual fundraising breakfast has been up leveled to new heights of community engagement, member accomplishments and financial success. I want to thank our amazing staff, board of directors, donors, volunteers and our entire commu- nity for your continued support. Because of all that you do, the center leads the way in innovative programming, cutting edge events and seminars, and over 50 services and amenities for our old- er adults to enjoy and live more fully. None of this can happen without you, our strong, amazing West Seattle. I am committed to ensuring a smooth and successful transition over the next 2 months and am looking forward seeing you at our 12th Annual Fundraising Breakfast on Tuesday April 28th. Please be sure to register in person at the front desk, online at www.sc-ws.org, or by email at info. [email protected]. In gratitude, Lyle Evans Inclement weather policy: The Center follows the Seattle School District plan. 2 Engage as you age! www.sc-ws.org TABLE OF CONTENTS 2020 SCWS Board Activities Calendar ...............................................................20-23 Art, Computer, Current Events, Ham Radio, Writing 14-15 Amy Lee Derenthal, President Bingo ....................................................................................3, 13, 24 Community Member Birthday Lunches ...................................................................... 8, 9 Karen Pfeiffer-Bush, Vice-President Cards, Games ............................................................................... 13 Studio 65 Design Casino Trips ............................................................................ 21, 23 Cheryl Phelps, Secretary Classifieds ...................................................................................... 30 SASH Realty Coffee Time with Vets ..................................................................4 Janet Leahy, Treasurer Computer Classes ....................................................................... 14 Community Member Dancing, Music, Drumming ................................................4, 13 Board Members: Dance Time/Westside Dance ....................................................4 John Cluff, Community Member Film History ................................................................................... 27 Burke Dykes, Community Member Food Bank ..................................................................................... 11 Dennis Jackson, Community Member Fundraising Donation Form ................................................... 31 Health & Wellness ................................................................ 11, 12 Richard Kromm, Welcome Road Winery Language Classes & Reading ............................................... 26 Carol McClure, Financial Designs Insurance Legacy Gifting.............................................................................. 24 Rebecca Mitsui, Mitsui Real Estate Legal Help ................................................................................... 26 Alison Morton, CFRE, Kindering LGBTQ Second Thursday OUT! ..................................................4 Karen Pfeiffer-Bush, Studio 65 Design Lunch Menus......................................................................... 18, 19 Lora Radford, West Seattle Junction Association Membership Information ...................................................... 31 Dawn Schaper, Community Member Movie Schedule ......................................................................... 27 Committee Chairs: Photo Day Around the Center ............................................... 25 Executive - Amy Lee Derenthal Quilting, Hardanger ................................................................. 13 Finance - Janet Leahy Save the Dates ............................................................................. 32 Fundraising Co-Chairs - Seattle Parks & Recreation Lifelong Recreation .............. 28 Carol McClure, Alison Morton Sea Mar Actividades en Espanol ..............................................5 Sound Generations Advocacy - John Cluff Tax Preparation ..............................................................................5 Ambassador - Vacant Toni’s Tips ...................................................................................... 10 Governance Co-Chairs - Volunteer Information .................................................... 5, 6, 30 Amy Lee Derenthal, Richard Kromm Westside Lesbian Group .............................................................4 World History ............................................................................... 26 Mission Statement: Our mission is to provide a welcoming, inclusive environment where people can enjoy warm friendships, healthy activities, joyful expressions and meaningful engagement as they age.

  • MARK HELLINGER THEATER (Originally Hollywood Theater), 217-239 West 51St Street, Manhattan
    Landmarks Preservation Commission January 5, 1988; Designation List 199 LP-1338 MARK HELLINGER THEATER (originally Hollywood Theater), 217-239 West 51st Street, Manhattan. Built 1929; architect, Thomas Lamb. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 1023, Lot 11. On June 14 and 15, 1982, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Mark Hellinger Theater and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 34). The hearing was continued to October 19, 1982. Both hearings had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Eighty-one witnesses spoke or had statements read into the record in favor of designation. One witness spoke in opposition to designation. The owner, with his representatives, appeared at the hearing, and indicated that he had not formulated an opinion regarding designation. The Commission has received many letters and other expressions of support in favor of this designation. DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS The Mark He 11 inger Theater survives today as one of the few intact grand movie palaces in Manhattan, as well as one of the historic theaters that symbolize American theater for both New York and the nation. Built for Warner Brothers in 1929 as the Hollywood Theater, it showcased movies and then vaudeville until 1934, when it was first converted for use as a legitimate theater. Warner Brothers was one of the great studios dominating American film­ making in the 1920s. Having successfully developed sound movies, the company in 1928 embarked on a campaign to buy or build theaters in which to exhibit its new sound productions.

  • THE BOX OFFICE CHECK-UP of 1935
    1 to tell the world!* IN 1936 THE BOX OFFICE CHECK-UP of 1935 An annual produced by the combined editorial and statistical facilities of Motion Picture Herald and Motion Picture Daily devoted to the records and ratings of talent in motion pictures of the year. QUIGLEY PUBLISHING COMPANY THE PUBLIC'S MANDATE by MARTIN QUIGLEY 1 The Box Office Check-Up is intended to disclose guidance upon that single question which in the daily operations of the industry over- shadows all others; namely, the relative box office values of types and kinds of pictures and the personnel of production responsible for them. It is the form-sheet of the industry, depending upon past performances for future guidance. Judging what producers, types of pictures and personalities will do in the future must largely depend upon the record. The Box Office Check-Up is the record. Examination of the record this year and every year must inevitably dis- close much information of both arresting interest and also of genuine im- portance to the progress of the motion picture. It proves some conten- tions and disproves others. It is a source of enlightenment, the clarifying rays of which must be depended upon to light the road ahead. ^ Striking is the essential character of those pictures which month in and month out stand at the head of the list of Box Office Cham- pions. Since August, 1934, the following are among the subjects in this classification: "Treasure Island," "The Barretts of Wimpole Street," "Flirta- tion Walk," "David Copperfield," "Roberta," "Love Me Forever," "Curley

  • Promotion of Classic Hollywood Film Costume In
    PROMOTION OF CLASSIC HOLLYWOOD FILM COSTUME IN 1930S AMERICAN FASHION MAGAZINES by LINDSAY DANIELLE REAVES VIRGINIA S. WIMBERLEY, COMMITTEE CHAIR AMANDA J. THOMPSON XIAO TONG WILLIAM F. BOMAR SHIRLEY P. FOSTER A THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in the Department of General Human Environmental Sciences in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2013 Copyright Lindsay Danielle Reaves 2013 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT The world of twenty-first-century fashion evolves into new forms at a more rapid pace when compared with clothing developments of the past. Elements of previous fashion trends are constantly recycled into new clothing to appease the public’s cravings. But, to whom does the public look for fashion inspiration? According to the “trickle-down” theory proposed by Simmel (1904) and Sproles (1985), the lower classes turn to the upper classes to find out what styles are in vogue at the moment. Although emulation of upper-class fashions appears to have been happening for some time, it seems fashion inspiration was “kicked into high gear” with the glamorous effects and global outreach of American Hollywood cinema, beginning in the 1930s. When the American film industry boomed in the first half of the twentieth century, actors became the inspiration for fashion as well. The glamour exuding from the Hollywood films produced during the 1930s inspired and influenced the clothing choices of the American public. Well-known costume designers such as Gilbert Adrian, Edith Head, Travis Banton, Howard Greer, Walter Plunkett, and Orry-Kelly designed costumes and personal clothing for many Hollywood leading ladies.
