  • The Pump Room Is a Drama About the Intersection of the Criminal and Political Worlds, the Sexual and the Ideological
    Introduction Force creates pressure and pressure creates counter- pressure. The result? A blowout. The Pump Room is a drama about the intersection of the criminal and political worlds, the sexual and the ideological. It is a play about the South African reality of the late 1990s, but one which applies to many other societies that have experienced epochs in their history when, after a long period of oppression, a new period struggles to resolve the past and deal with fresh challenges. The central event that drives the play is the murder of a ‘postman’ carrying drugs. Over several hours on a hot summer’s night, the consequences of this action cause a number of inter-connected people to meet in the pump room of a public swimming pool in Cape Town. These disparate characters play out the tensions and contradictions of their pasts and presents, and a complex web of relationships emerges. One of the key elements is the renewed confrontation between Peter, a middle-aged pump room worker (but one-time actor and political activist), with Mike and Lombard, former Apartheid agents who had previously detained and tortured him. This history dogs them, but the time of state terrorism and political activism is over - they are all now involved in an underworld of drug dealing [and taking] and are desperately, if paradoxically, trying to restore some balance to their lives. Other characters are Lewis, Peter's pump room assistant who is both a dealer and an informer; Elsie, Lewis’s girlfriend, a domestic worker; and Mumsie, also a domestic worker and occasional prostitute, who is connected to both Peter and Lombard, but in very different, conflicting ways.

  • The William Desmond Taylor Case
    The William Desmond Taylor Case By Wm. Thomas Sherman “Before we can make any accurate speculations of the causes and guilt of those involved we must know something of the community in which the victim lived and in which he died. It is my first contention that the murder itself and its consequent lack of solution had its roots deeply buried in the inner character of the community. I am convinced of this. I was there!” ~ King Vidor, private papers The murder of Paramount film director William Desmond Taylor in Feb. 1922 had not only an impact of crucial importance on Mabel Normand’s life, but on Hollywood, and, in turn, the nation itself. Since taking place, there have and will probably never cease to be baffling mysteries surrounding the case, not least of which, of course, the identity of the killer. Despite this, it is not impossible on the basis of what evidence there is available to reconstruct a plausible scenario that might better explain most, if not all, of what happened -- this thanks in no small part due to the priceless and prodigious research of first King Vidor, and later Taylor specialist, Bruce Long. What follows here is an attempt at such. This is not to say that all or any particular of what is offered as explanation is necessary to account for what happened, but only that it is as likely an accounting as any heretofore to come forward. Most especially when dealing with something as puzzling and difficult as the Taylor mystery, it is, needless to say, possible that I am entirely wrong on a given point of speculation or surmise.

  • Julia Crawford Ivers
    Julia Crawford Ivers Also Known As: J. C. Ivers, Julia Ivers, "Lady of the Shadows" Lived: October 3, 1867 - May 9, 1930 Worked as: co-director, co-screenwriter, director, editor, film cutter, producer, production supervisor, scenario writer, screenwriter Worked In: United States by April Miller When discussing Julia Crawford Ivers, film historians primarily emphasize two things: her remarkably introverted personality, and her role as principle scenarist for William Desmond Taylor (Foster 1995, 199; Lowe 2005, 286). However, her 1930 obituaries assign Ivers a more independent and influential position, with the New York Times describing her as a “scenario writer, director and production supervisor” (19) and the Los Angeles Times making the inflated and incorrect claim that Ivers was “the second woman to become a film director in Hollywood” (A20). Given that a number of other women directed motion pictures before Ivers had her first opportunity in 1915, this last claim may say more about the way early Hollywood publicity machines operated than about the nature of her film industry work between 1913 and 1923. One might speculate that Ivers, given her tendency to avoid publicity, became an inadvertent public figure after she found herself briefly considered as a suspect in Taylor’s infamous, and still officially unsolved, 1922 murder.
