    RICE lO CENTS BY THE YEAR. $!?<? THE MAN'S MAGAZINE hardships ofYhQ RAILROAD ' F 1 > w m ~4 ' ——i l &J 1 Mother's Day Is when site moulds the habits, health and beauty of her children. Beauty and softness of skin texture are the natural heritage of nearly all infants. Unfortunately, this birth boon is often undervalued and neglected, with the result that the beautv gradually disappears. The use of common impure soaps is answerable for much of this skin deterioration, and for this there is no excuse, since the best and purest of all skin soaps Pears' Soap is really mora economical than ordinary soaps, because of the fact that it lasts twice as long. The pre-eminence of Pears' Soap all the world over is easily accounted for. It is composed entirely of natural beauty preserving ingredients. Its emollient action ensures the skin of a permanent softness and delicacy of color, and exercises a protective influence that keeps it in perfect condition. Pears is all solid soap purity and goodness having no water mixed with it. and being unaffected by heat or cold. Since 1789 Pears has been the Mother's Soap of the world. The general idea of Mother's Day is a simultaneous observance in every country of the love and reverence men. women and children owe to a good mother. The second Sunday in May is observed as Mother's Day throughout the United State?. The Movement is not denominational— Even* society and organi7ation is asked to unite in making the observance universal. Do some distinct act ot kindness to the sick or unfortunate, in loving remembrance of your mother.

  • The Greater United States: Territory and Empire in U.S
    daniel immerwahr BERNATH LECTURE The Greater United States: Territory and Empire in U.S. History* Downloaded from March 1954 is a month diplomatic historians know well. It was when the Viet Minh attacked the French air base at Dien Bien Phu, which ultimately pulled the United States into the Vietnam War. But we speak less of another anticolonial revolt that broke out in another part of the world. Two weeks before Dien Bien Phu, four nationalists entered the House of Representatives in Washington, D.C., http://dh.oxfordjournals.org/ made their way to the upstairs Ladies’ Gallery, unfurled a Puerto Rican flag, pulled out pistols, and fired 29 rounds into the body politic below them. They shot five 1 Congressmen, nearly killing one. To this day, the drawer in the mahogany table used by the Republican leader- ship to address the House has a jagged hole in it. This was not a freak event. It was but one in a long chain of violent acts undertaken by Puerto Rican nationalists under the leadership of Pedro Albizu Campos, arguably 2 at Northwestern University Library on October 12, 2016 the most important domestic opponent of the U.S. empire in the twentieth century. Albizu’s long career defies easy summary. In World War I, inspired by Wilsonian rhetoric of self-determination, Albizu served as a First Lieutenant in the U.S. Army. But he grew disillusioned and turned against the U.S. government, becoming, in the words of J. Edgar Hoover (who held him under surveillance for 3 three decades), the “guiding light” of Puerto Rican nationalism.

  • Kathlyn Williams
    Kathlyn Williams Also Known As: Kathleen Williams Lived: May 31, 1888 - September 24, 1960 Worked as: director, film actress, screenwriter Worked In: United States by Mark Garrett Cooper Kathlyn Williams began work in motion pictures as an actress with Biograph in New York. “I was playing in stock,” she recounted to Photoplay in 1917. “One week when I was not working someone called me up from the Biograph studio and asked if I would work two days for them. I was dreadfully insulted at first, but I went out of curiosity expecting to be offered about fifty cents a day.” To her amazement, D. W. Griffith paid her ten dollars for each day’s work (77). Williams told Photoplay that she performed in three Biograph titles, but in combination, Paul Spehr and the American Film Institute catalog credit her with a total of five, with release dates beginning in 1909. Sources agree that she joined the Selig Polyscope Company in 1910 and quickly became the company’s leading actress. From the start, she played an action heroine, although she was also featured in dramatic roles. In 1913-14 she starred in the Adventures of Kathlyn, generally regarded as the first serial with “hold-over” suspense. While with Selig, she wrote scenarios for at least five titles, one of which, The Leopard’s Foundling (1914), written by Maibelle Heikes Justice, the Selig release notes credit her with directing. In 1916 she began her second marriage, to Charles Eyton, described in most biographies as a Paramount executive, but likely general manager of the Oliver Morosco Photoplay Company, which released through distributor Paramount at the time.

Gray, B.F.A., M.A. A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School, Marquette University, In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Educational Policy and Leadership) Milwaukee, Wisconsin December 2016 ABSTRACT IN PLAIN SIGHT: CHANGING REPRESENTATIONS OF “BIRACIAL” PEOPLE IN FILM 1903-2015 Charles L. Gray, B.F.A., M.A. Marquette University, 2016 Rooted in slavery, the United States in both law and custom has a long history of adhering to the one drop rule–the stipulation that any amount of African ancestry constitutes an individual as black. Given this history, decidedly mixed race people have been subjected to a number of degrading stereotypes. In examining the three broad themes of the tragic mulatto, racial passing, and racelessness in cinema, this dissertation asks to what extent film representations of mixed race characters have had the capacity to educate audiences beyond stereotypes. Although a number of film scholars and critics have analyzed mixed race characters in American cinema, there is no treatment spanning the last century that comprehensively analyzes each film’s capacity to diminish racism. i ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Charles L.
