October 26, 27 & 28, 2012 SOUVENIR 20 th ANNIVERSARY PROGRAM ($5) October 26, 27 & 28, 2012 A MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR OF THE MARIE DRESSLER FOUNDATION It is unbelievable that I am addressing you on this our twentieth anniversary of the annual Vintage Film Festival. We started off in a very small manner and held our fi rst fi lm festival at the Best Western Inn. It was perhaps a grand vision that our small committee had, but it garnered enough interest that we decided to do it again… and again. In those fi rst years we used many diff erent venues in Cobourg, the Best Western Inn, Northumberland Heights, Victoria Hall. We showed Dinner at Eight at the Park Th eatre on King Street in Cobourg. We now use the splendid Capitol Th eatre, the Mary J. Benson Public Library in Port Hope, and Victoria Hall in Cobourg. Our committee has grown and we have many talented and proud people who assist in putting on the Festival. Th ey choose the fi lms, set up the venues, choose interesting speakers for you, give you more knowledge of these gifted stars and make you comfortable. We hope that you have enjoyed our silent fi lms, our talented pianists, our very special guests such as Elwy Yost, his facts on the movies, the lunches, the dinners and the classic ‘talkies’. Marie Dressler was a very talented and resourceful actress and woman, and we are proud to carry on part of her heritage. Alma Draper and her team have chosen graduating students who are continuing their education in the Arts for bursaries through the years. In this way, Marie Dressler’s gifts are continued in this very important endowment. Please be sure to visit the Min and Bill set and the unique Dressler Room at the Chamber of Commerce in the Dressler House at 212 King Street West in Cobourg. We are so pleased to have gathered so many mementos of Marie’s life and the men and women who have written books or donated family articles have added to the ambience of the room. Th ank you for taking part in this year’s festival and do enjoy the fi lms and the extra festivities that mark this twentieth year. Delphine Patchett Chair, Th e Marie Dressler Foundation MARILYN PETERS, 1939-2012 Marilyn Peters was an enthusiastic and valuable member of the Vintage Film Festival Committee, organizing fund-raising, hosting meetings and assisting at the Friday night registration at Victoria Hall. A former business executive and co-owner of a Bay Street, Toronto, insurance brokerage, Marilyn contributed her practical knowledge to our festival. Whether she was lugging boxes of programs to Victoria Hall or greeting and chatting with guests at the Capitol Th eatre, Marilyn gave generously of her time and resources. On our cover: Marie Dressler with the Academy Award she won for her performance in Min & Bill.

If this is your fi rst visit to our festival, thank you for joining us; if you are a returning vintage fi lm addict, welcome home. Th e members of the VFF Committee have done an incredible job this year. While working extra-long and hard on what we hope you’ll fi nd is a phenomenal 20th anniversary festival, they have given added energy for an ongoing and exciting strategic planning project. We have given ourselves plans and tasks for the next fi ve years. One of our immediate jobs for the next year is to change the organization of the VFF Committee, and to recruit at least 20 volunteers from our supporters who will lend some of their time and energy to work with us on individual projects. Might you have a few hours to help with editing the festival souvenir program? Distributing posters? Recruiting sponsors? Writing and sending out news bulletins and press releases? Establishing VFF as a friend of high school, college and university fi lm and media courses? Helping at our Sunday afternoon screenings? Working on advertising and publicity? Contributing to our Facebook and Twitter presence? Helping in any one of a dozen other ways? We hope some of you will want to join the excitement. Please talk to me or to any committee member, or send a message to me [cworsnop@vintagefi lmfestival.ca]. We’d love to have your experience and enthusiasm to help us. Again this year, generous sponsors have helped with our two priority projects: the festival itself, and supporting students. You will fi nd these organizations and individuals listed in the program book and on the screen presentation between fi lms. If you have the opportunity, please add your thanks to ours. Last year we partnered with 4th Line Th eatre to cross-promote our activities as they prepared a play about Marie Dressler -Queen Marie, by Shirley Barrie – which played to very positive reviews in July. You may have seen our half-page promotion in their program this summer. Th is year we have partnered with the new owner of the Northumberland Mall Th eatres, Ken Prue, to present two fi lms in a Sunday afternoon time slot. Th e fi rst, in June, was Buster Keaton’sTh e General, and the second, last Sunday was David Lean’s Great Expectations. (2012 is the bicentennial of Charles Dickens’s birth.) We will be continuing these Sunday fi lms on an irregular schedule in future. Th e next will be Preston Sturges’s Christmas in July on December 9. Since the feature runs under 70 minutes, we will also be showing three vintage shorts, including the only fi lm that featured Judy Garland and Deanna Durbin together. Another partner this year, the National Film Board of Canada, has generously donated NFB documentaries and award-winning fi lms for our all-day-Saturday free program at the Port Hope Public Library, across the road from the Capitol Th eatre. Our Brown Bag lunch session was such a hit last year that it is a hot ticket this year and will become a regular festival feature. We are tremendously pleased that the Toronto Star’s Peter Howell has accepted our invitation to speak about the Oscars. Th is year we have given two $1000 bursaries to local graduating students entering college or university to take up studies in a film- related area. You will fi nd a special feature on our bursary program in this program book. We have received a $1000 donation from the Retired Teachers of Ontario ‘Service to Others’ project, and invested it in subsidies for student tickets to this year’s festival. Please make a point of welcoming those students to our vintage fi lm world. Th ere are few pleasures greater than that of enjoying a good fi lm in a darkened theatre surrounded by people whose taste in films matches your own. Our major job in the Vintage Film Festival committee is to get better each year at providing that pleasure for you. Chris M.

  • Dinner at Eight CELEBRATING MARIE DRESSLER’S 150Th BIRTHDAY
    SOUVENIR PROGRAM Dinner At Eight CELEBRATING MARIE DRESSLER’S 150th BIRTHDAY from the collection of Marie Dressler Foundation Saturday, September 29, 2018 Best Western Plus Cobourg Inn, Cobourg, Canada MARIE’S 62nd BIRTHDAY SCRAPBOOK November 9, 1933 A STORY WORTH TELLING Almost one hundred and fifty years ago, a little girl named Leila Koerber came into this world here in Cobourg. Who was to know that some sixty plus years later, Leila, now named Marie Dressler, would become an Academy Award winner and the highest grossing movie star in the world for the years 1932 and 1933? While Marie would only spend the earliest years of her life here in Cobourg, she made a lasting impression. Once she arrived on Broadway in the late 1890’s, after almost twenty years of honing her operatic and comedic skills in travelling troupes, people began to notice and fall in love with this not-so-little girl. Although she starred in the first full length silent comedy, “Tillie’s Punctured Romance” in 1914 with a young Charlie Chaplin, her promising silent film career was interrupted by WWI. Afterwards, no one seemed interested in a fifties-something actor. Marie turned to charity work and became known for her social activism, always looking to help women less fortunate than herself. But she was destined to become a movie star. And it happened in 1930, when her friend, Frances Marion, the most successful screenwriter in Hollywood, tailored a star-worthy supporting role for her in “Anna Christie”. This film was a big deal as it was Greta Garbo’s first speaking role.

  • Without Lying Down: Frances Marion and the Powerful Women of Early Hollywood'
    H-Film Black on Beauchamp, 'Without Lying Down: Frances Marion and the Powerful Women of Early Hollywood' Review published on Monday, March 1, 1999 Cari Beauchamp. Without Lying Down: Frances Marion and the Powerful Women of Early Hollywood. Berkeley: University of California Press, 1998. 475 pp. $21.95 (paper), ISBN 978-0-520-21492-7; $30.00 (cloth), ISBN 978-0-684-80213-8. Reviewed by Liza Black (University of Washington) Published on H-Film (March, 1999) A Boa Constrictor Without Lying Down is the well-deserved biography of an extraordinarily talented, unique, and powerful woman. She wrote hundreds of screenplays and had a profound impact on the lives of her friends and family. She was a professional woman amongst professional women. She was steadfastly loyal. She was also generous with her influence and power. According to her friend Adela Rogers St. Johns: "Frances Marion had the rugged determination of a boa constrictor where a friend was concerned." Beauchamp ably tells the story of Frances Marion's professional life. Marion was born in San Francisco in 1888. She moved to Los Angeles with her second husband. Where studio bosses initially noticed her looks instead of her writing. Others noted her beauty as well, but the only thing Marion took seriously was, first and foremost, her writing and, secondarily, attractive men. Over the course of her life, she wrote almost 200 produced films. During World War I, she was selected to film American Women in the War in France. She won two Academy Awards for writing The Big House (1930) and The Champ (1931) In 1933, Marion was elected as the first vice-president of the newly- formed Screen Writers' Guild.
