ILLUSTRATED LC New York and Washington THE NEALE PUBLISHING COMPANY 1908 08-19140 F231 M15 LIBRARY OF CONGRESS Two Copies Receive JUN 20 1903 Jun 20 1908 CLASS A 210075 COPY B. COPYRIGHT, 1908, BY THE NEALE PUBLISHING COMPANY LC DEDICATION These recollections are affectionately dedicated to the descendants of my father and mother and of their brothers and sisters—four generations of whom are now represented in Virginia and as many in the Emerald Isle—with the fervent prayer that they may take their fathers' God to be their God, and walk in the light of His word. PREFACE Memories of three score years and ten. http://www.loc.gov/resource/lhbcb.19140 Library of Congress This volume was begun with special reference to my kinspeople. As it developed it seemed to contain matter of interest to a wider circle; sketches of honored and useful men and women, whose memory ought to be cherished; scenes in bygone days and stirring times, little known to the present generation; suggestions drawn from experience, which may be of value, specially to the young entering on the duties of life. It covers a period of nearly “three-score years and ten,” spent under a variety of conditions, embracing: childhood; school days; college, university and seminary life; a visit in youth to Ireland, the home of my ancestors; travel and study abroad at a later period; pastoral work in Amelia, Farmville and Lynchburg, Virginia; service in the army of the Confederate States as lieutenant and chaplain; the progress and close of the Civil War and of Reconstruction in Virginia; a period of service as Secretary of Missions of the Southern Presbyterian Church (1872–1883), including Reconstruction in South Carolina (1872–5); presidency of Hampden-Sidney College (1883–1904), and membership in the Constitutional Convention of Virginia (1901–2).

It argues that women in these texts function as an “absent presence,” by which I mean that they are a convention of the patriarchal gangster landscape and often with little import while at the same time they cultivate resistant strategies from within this backgrounded positioning. Whereas previous scholarly work on gangster texts has identified how women are characterized as stereotypes, this dissertation argues that women characters frequently employ the marginal positions to which they are relegated for empowering effect. This dissertation begins by surveying existing gangster scholarship. There is a preoccupation with male characters in this work, as is the case in most gangster texts themselves.

  • Hays Gone By: the Proto-Feminism of Pre-Code Hollywood and the Films
    Hays Gone By: The Proto-Feminism of Pre-Code Hollywood and the Films of Mae West By Daniel Simpson A thesis submitted to the Graduate Program in Cultural Studies in conformity with the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada July, 2019 Copyright © Daniel Simpson, 2019 For Mom and Dad ii Abstract Pre-Code Hollywood has famously been described as an alternative universe of American cinema, as looser censorship restrictions allowed filmmakers to explore adult themes of violence and sexuality far more openly than would be permissible under Joseph Breen and the Production Code Association. My thesis addresses how this era gave rise to a proto-feminist cinema through the transgression of Production Code rules pertaining to gender and sexuality. Though the Pre- Code era was no stranger to virulently misogynistic works, the lack of strict censorship allowed filmmakers to put forth depictions of independent women who were sexually active and in control of their lives. The epitome of this archetype is Mae West, who not only portrayed sex sirens with tremendous agency on-screen, but also took an active role behind-the-scenes as a screenwriter and should be considered the primary author of her films. Though West’s independence on and off-screen would diminish as the Pre-Code era ended, her work remains a trove of proto-feminist cinema through its subversion of male gaze and its consideration of a female spectator. Understanding West’s films, and the era which produced them, helps provide insight on the challenges faced by women in Hollywood, and more specifically, how women- centric art is often devalued and dismissed.

[email protected] ABSTRACT: This article consists in the analysis of the Rowland Brown director’s film work and career, who was one of the first (if not the first) directors-screenwriters of Hollywood. He developed his career during Hollywood’s pre-Code era and he only directed three idiosyncratic films linked to the gangster genre: Quick Millions (1931), Hell’s Highway (1932) and Blood Money (1933). There were a great number of reasons why he was thrown out from Hollywood and he was not allowed to return to direct, among them the highly transgressive and critical discourse of his cinema. Despite of the singularity and originality of his film work, today Brown is a forgotten figure, only recognised by a prestigious group of film historians.

    Doorway to Hell ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The research and preparation of this narrative would not have been possible without the guidance, assistance, direction, and contributions of Professor Thomas Buckley, University of Tulsa History Department. On behalf of his soldiers' families and loved ones, I wish to extend my personal appreciation to U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel Robert L. Davis, the last commander of the 43rd Engineer Combat Battalion (Heavy), during both Operations Restore and Continue Hope. He led a total of over a thousand troops through the "doorway to hell" twice, and brought them all back alive. Special acknowledgment is also extended to Major Mark Feierstein, 36th Engineer Group S-4 (Logistics) during Operation Restore Hope and 43rd S-3 (Operations) during Operation Continue Hope; Major Alan Estes, 43rd S-3 (Operations) during Operation Restore Hope; Captain Brian Unwin, Surgeon, 43rd Engineer Combat Battalion (H) during Operation Restore Hope; Captain Dale Forrester, 43rd Chaplain, Operation Restore Hope; Captain Jeffrey T. Bochonok, 43rd S-l (Personnel/Admin) during Operation Continue Hope; First Lieutenant Brian E. Wheeler, the 43rd's Signal Officer and Command Sergeant Major Larence Maxwell, both of whom served during Operations Restore Hope and Continue Hope; and Sergeant Hans Smith, 43rd Operations NCO who served during the Somalian Aid Mission in 1985, and during Operation Continue Hope. These men, who were based at Fort Benning, Georgia and deployed to Somalia with their colleagues of the 43rd Engineers, served unselfishly iv Doorway to Hell and heroically. In doing so, twice they walked through the "Doorway to Hell" for a nation that ultimately wished they hadn't gone at all.

Spain. [email protected] ABSTRACT: This article consists of an analysis of the film work and career of director Rowland Brown, one of the first (if not the first) director-screenwriters in Hollywood. Brown pursued his career during Hollywood’s pre-Code era, but only directed three idiosyncratic films, all of which were linked to the gangster genre: Quick Millions (1931), Hell’s Highway (1932) and Blood Money (1933). There are many factors which explain why he was ousted from Hollywood and not allowed to direct again, one of which is the highly transgressive and critical nature of the discourse found in his cinema. Despite the uniqueness and originality of his film work, today he is an all but forgotten figure, only acknowledged by a prestigious group of film historians. His cinema has yet to be studied in depth. The ultimate purpose of this article is to contribute towards redressing this omission in the History of Film.
