  • The Evidence of the Film by Ned Thanhouser
    The Influence of D.W. Griffith on Thanhouser’s 1913 Release: The Evidence of the Film by Ned Thanhouser The transitional era in US cinema (ca. 1907 to 1913) bridged the end of the “primitive” period with the beginning of multi-reel “feature” films. Early “primitive” films were characterized by a single shot, in full frame, with a single point of view that told familiar stories people would recognize and understand. Editing was used to join shots to extend the action or to clarify the events for the audience by showing the same action from a different perspective. “Transitional” films developed new cinematic techniques that allowed the introduction of motivated characters and enabled more complex cause-and-effect narratives. Thanhouser Company was founded in 1909, early in the “transitional” era. The films it produced over the next four years were a reflection of the changes pioneered by D.W. Griffith from 1908 to 1913 while he was at American Biograph. The Thanhouser factory, based in New Rochelle, New York, was Forty-five Minutes from Broadway1 and the Biograph studio, located on 14th Street. By 1913 when D.W. Griffith ended his tenure at Biograph, he had directed over 450 films. It was during this period at Biograph that Griffith developed and refined his ideas on narrative development, cinematography, and editing.2 Griffith and Thanhouser had direct contact during this period. As recounted in a 1976 interview with Victor Heerman (who in 1909 worked at a New York theatrical booking agency while Thanhouser was just getting started), the first contact was the 1 As made popular by George M.

  • 2012History-Of-Newrochelle-Booklet
    The New Rochelle Art Association 100 Years 1912-2012 Graphic design by Jesse M. Sanchez Edited and written by Theresa Beyer Historical images courtesy of The New Rochelle Public Library ©2012 The New Rochelle Art Association BACKGROUND In 1912 New Rochelle was a fast growing suburb. Already in 1899 New Rochelle had incorporated as a city. While New Rochelle was one of the earliest communities in the area, having been founded by the Huguenots in 1688, New York City residents first discovered New Rochelle in large numbers with the advent of the steam boat, especially the one that took them to the pleasure gardens at Glen Island and the Neptune House resort. Soon, planned resi- dential areas like Rochelle Park (1885) and Rochelle Heights (1905) sprang up. New Rochelle’s popula- tion doubled between 1900 and 1910 and would double again between 1910 and 1930. The vil- lage the Huguenots had founded with large tracts of farm land was rapidly being sub-divided into residential communities. A system of trolleys, com- muter railroads, and later the parkways made New Rochelle easily accessible. The New York area had always been friendly to artists. In the 19th century painters of the Hudson River School settled here. Many artists traveled to Europe and began to paint in the style of the im- pressionists while others were more influenced by traditional Beaux Arts training. Meanwhile, with the turn of the century, the highly influential real- ism of the Ash Can School promoted the idea that art didn’t have to portray just beautiful objects.

Surviving Thanhouser Films Available on DVD and Online Introduction The family mode of production in the early motion picture industry was firmly established by stage actors and theater management veterans Edwin and Gertrude Thanhouser with brother-in- law and journalist Lloyd F. Lonergan. The three joined forces in 1909 to establish what would become one of America’s pioneering independent silent motion picture studios during what is known as the “transitional” era in early cinema. The talent and the uniqueness of each family member blended seamlessly to create one of the most popular and successful independent motion picture production companies in America’s burgeoning motion picture industry. Under their leadership, the Thanhouser studio strove for and produced high quality films, and by the summer of 1910, Thanhouser films were praised by The New York Dramatic Mirror: “…Thanhouser pictures, of course, rank highest [among the independent producers]” (Woods 1910, 20). The Mutual Film Corporation, a major Chicago-based film distributor, recognized the success of this independent enterprise and, in April 1912, acquired the company under the leadership of Charles J.

  • Meet Ned Thanhouser Who Retired from Intel in 2011 After 28 Years
    Interview and story by Debbie Watson Meet Ned Thanhouser who retired from Intel in 2011 after 28 years. When he retired, Ned was the Director of Market Development ESPD, which is the boards and systems division in the Enterprise Server Group. Ned started at Intel in 1982 as the engineering manager for Multibus® and went on to do stints in Product Marketing, Customer Marketing, as well as OEM Account Management. Ned Thanhouser in front of the Hollywood Theatre While at Intel, Ned had a fascination exploring his family’s history in the silent movie industry. Ned’s grandparents, Edwin and Gertrude Thanhouser, established a pioneering independent silent movie studio in 1909 in New Rochelle, New York. The Thanhouser Studio eventually made over 1000 silent films that were distributed around the world until suddenly closing in Thanhouser studio in New Rochelle, NY 1917...almost all the films were either lost or destroyed. Ned has spent over 25 years researching and recovering what he could find of the studio’s output, including original nitrate films, posters and historical artifacts. Working with archives and private collectors around the globe he has found 225 Thanhouser films, and he finds a couple more every year. Over 50 of these films are available for viewing on his web site or for sale on DVD. Reels of nitrate film Ned strongly believes that the Thanhouser story deserves a place in any discussion of early American Cinema. To that end, after he retired, he produced a 50- minute documentary called "The Thanhouser Studio and the Birth of American Cinema." It tells his family’s story and his own journey of discovery.

  • Gertrude Homan Thanhouser
    Gertrude Homan Thanhouser April 23, 1882 – May 29, 1951 While Thanhouser Company may not be one of the best known of the early film companies, what is certain is that its founder and public figurehead was Edwin Thanhouser (Slide, 1978). Missing from this account, however, is the critical role played by his wife, Gertrude Homan Thanhouser. She was a major contributor to the success of the Thanhouser film enterprise where she worked as actress, scenario writer, film editor, and studio executive. In the spring of 1909, Gertrude moved with her husband, actor turned theatre manager Edwin Thanhouser, to New York where they established Thanhouser Company as an independent motion picture production studio. The company was capitalized with $10,000 divided into 100 shares; 98 in Gertrude’s name as secretary, and one share each to Edwin, president, and Lloyd Lonergan, Gertrude’s brother-in-law and vice-president (Phillips, 1909). Edwin was reported as the first to head an American movie studio with a theatrical background (Bowers, 1995) and Gertrude’s acting career of fourteen years gave her the stagecraft to be a powerful and creative force in this new venture. Magazine articles and family history document Gertrude’s key role in the formation, management and operation of the company. Gertrude was featured in Thanhouser’s second film release, St. Elmo, March 22, 1910. Reviews were critical of the acting, “…the story…is told by the sub-titles in the film, and not so much by the acting” (Morning Telegraph, 1910); it was the only film in which she received acting credit.
