  • Raoul Walsh to Attend Opening of Retrospective Tribute at Museum
    The Museum of Modern Art jl west 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019 Tel. 956-6100 Cable: Modernart NO. 34 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE RAOUL WALSH TO ATTEND OPENING OF RETROSPECTIVE TRIBUTE AT MUSEUM Raoul Walsh, 87-year-old film director whose career in motion pictures spanned more than five decades, will come to New York for the opening of a three-month retrospective of his films beginning Thursday, April 18, at The Museum of Modern Art. In a rare public appearance Mr. Walsh will attend the 8 pm screening of "Gentleman Jim," his 1942 film in which Errol Flynn portrays the boxing champion James J. Corbett. One of the giants of American filmdom, Walsh has worked in all genres — Westerns, gangster films, war pictures, adventure films, musicals — and with many of Hollywood's greatest stars — Victor McLaglen, Gloria Swanson, Douglas Fair­ banks, Mae West, James Cagney, Humphrey Bogart, Marlene Dietrich and Edward G. Robinson, to name just a few. It is ultimately as a director of action pictures that Walsh is best known and a growing body of critical opinion places him in the front rank with directors like Ford, Hawks, Curtiz and Wellman. Richard Schickel has called him "one of the best action directors...we've ever had" and British film critic Julian Fox has written: "Raoul Walsh, more than any other legendary figure from Hollywood's golden past, has truly lived up to the early cinema's reputation for 'action all the way'...." Walsh's penchant for action is not surprising considering he began his career more than 60 years ago as a stunt-rider in early "westerns" filmed in the New Jersey hills.

    1931 article titles and notes Vol. III, No. 1, January 10, 19311 "'The Youngest' Proves Entertaining Production of Players' Club. Robert W. Graham Featured in Laugh Provoking Comedy; Unemployed to Benefit" (1 & 8 - AC, CO, CW, GD, and LA) - "Long ago it was decided that the chief aim of the Players' Club should be to entertain its members rather than to educate them or enlighten them on social questions or use them as an element in developing new ideas and methods in the Little Theatre movement."2 Philip Barry's "The Youngest" fit the bill very well. "Antiques, Subject of Woman's Club. Chippendale Furniture Discussed by Instructor at School of Industrial Art. Art Comm. Program" (1 - AE and WO) - Edward Warwick, an instructor at the Pennsylvania Museum School of Industrial Art, spoke to the Woman's Club on "The Chippendale Style in America." "Legion Charity Ball Jan. 14. Tickets Almost Sold Out for Benefit Next Friday Evening. Auxiliary Assisting" (1 & 4 - CW, LA, MO, SN, VM, and WO) - "What was begun as a Benefit Dance for the Unemployed has grown into a Charity Ball sponsored by the local America Legion Post with every indication of becoming Swarthmore's foremost social event of the year." The article listed the "patrons and patronesses" of the dance. Illustration by Frank N. Smith: "Proposed Plans for New School Gymnasium" with caption "Drawings of schematic plans for development of gymnasium and College avenue school buildings" (1 & 4 - BB, CE, and SC) - showed "how the 1.035 acres of ground just west of the College avenue school which was purchased from Swarthmore College last spring might be utilized for the enlargement of the present building into a single school plant."

Fifty years ago, as a blushing youth of 14, I read the first volume of The Hugo Winners – a series I fervently wish some publisher would revive. Within, no less an authority than Isaac Asimov heaped praise on a novel originally published in 1939, Sinister Barrier by Erik Frank Russell. In subsequent years I never got around to reading the book until, aground in Florida in forced retirement, I thought to correct this lifelong lapse and ordered a cheap reading copy from eBay.

    MAFC MONMOUTH A REA FLYING CLUB NEWSLETTER December 2012 /January 2013 C O-E DITED BY C HARLES B URKE AND ADAM L ANG Club Meetings Happenings General Meeting: 12/15/12– 9:00AM Deer on N12 Runway N12 CAP Building There have been several reports of deer scampering across the runway especially at night so keep a watchful eye out during Board Of Trustees: takeoffs and landings. If there is any degree of satisfaction on 01/03/13– 7:15 PM having the tables turned on this topic, the National Geographic provided it. They recently featured a story about the Komodo Dragons and the final part was seeing two of them taking out a General Meeting: deer. All it took was one quick bite on the deer's leg and the 01/19/13– 9:00AM poison did the trick in short order. Then the two lizards cut N12 CAP Building through the deer as if it were warm butter. Maybe we should suggest this deer control method to Matt Applegate at N12. Changes to N12 Runway As we all know, the runway at N12 was closed recently for a few days while work was being performed to some of the lighting. To gain a better understanding of what was done and why, a call was placed to Mr. Steve Reinman, Manager of Lakewood Airport. According to Mr. Reinman, the work is being done in cooperation with the FAA and NJDOT to regain several hundred feet of active runway space. In the works are plans to remove obstacles that now prevent usage of this space and also increase safety dur- ing approach.
