The Betty Garrett Musical Theatre Scholarship is named in honor of actress-singer-dancer-teacher Betty Garrett, who passed away last February 12 at the age of 91. The scholarship was established with funds raised from a 1998 appearance Ms. Garrett made at the Getz Theatre of Columbia College Chicago's Theatre Department. Since the Scholarship was established in 2000, it has awarded some $21,000 to MubiLdi TiiedLfe Mdjutb dl Cuiumuid Cuiieye.

In a distinguished career spanning 60 years, Betty Garrett starred in classic Broadway and Hollywood musicals as well as numerous regional theatre productions and TV shows. Her Broadway credits include the original production of "Bells Are Ringing," in which she co-starred with her husband, Oscar-nominated actor Larry Parks; the Cole Porter musical "Something for the Boys," in which she co-starred with Ethel Merman; the Harold Rome revue "Call Me Mister"; the 1989 stage version of "Meet Me in St. Louis"; and the 2003 Roundabout Theatre Company revival of Stephen Sondheim's "Follies," in which she sang "Broadway Baby." In 1962, she co-founded Theatre West, the oldest continually operating theatre company in Los Angeles. Her screen credits include "On the Town," co-starring and co-directed by Gene Kelly, in which she seductively (and comically) lured co-star Frank Sinatra to "Come Up to My Place"; "Words and Music" with Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland; 'Take Me Out to the Ball Game," directed by Busby Berkeley and co-starring Frank Sinatra, Esther Williams, and Gene Kelly; "Neptune's Daughter," in which she introduced the Oscar-winning song "Baby, It's Cold Outside" with co-star Red Skelton; and "My Sister Eileen," in which she co-starred with Jack Lemmon, Janet Leigh, and Bob Fosse (who also choreographed). On TV, she had recurring roles in the series "All in the Family" and "Laverne & Shirley" (for which she won a Golden Globe Award) and also guest-starred on such hit shows as "The Fugitive," "Murder, She Wrote," "Becker," "Boston Public," and "Grey's Anatomy." She received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2003. In addition to her work as a performer, Ms. Garrett - inspired by her own youthful work with such teachers as Martha Graham, Sanford Meisner, Lehman Engel, and Margaret Webster - was a dedicated teacher devoted to nurturing young talent. The Betty Garrett Musical Theatre Scholarship at Columbia College Chicago honors her generous spirit and her devotion to teaching as well as her achievement in musical theatre. Guest artist Beckie Menzie (http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=693238398) is a three-time winner of Chicago's After Dark award for "Outstanding Cabaret Artist." She has appeared at some of the nation's top stages including Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, and Town Hall in New York and Chicago's Auditorium Theatre and Park West; she has also been a featured artist at numerous Mabel Mercer Foundation Cabaret Conventions, as well as the ASCAP & Chicago Humanities Festival concerts. In addition to performing, Beckie teaches for Northwestern University's Musical Theatre Department and sits on the Board of Directors of the Chicago Cabaret Professionals. In the Fall 2011 Semester, she guest-taught in the Musical Theatre Program at Columbia College Chicago. As we approach the first anniversary of Betty Garrett's passing, we salute Ms. Garrett with a cabaret showcase of emerging and established talents, including several recipients of the Betty Garrett Musical Theatre Scholarship.

  • Ronald Davis Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts
    Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts in America Southern Methodist University The Southern Methodist University Oral History Program was begun in 1972 and is part of the University’s DeGolyer Institute for American Studies. The goal is to gather primary source material for future writers and cultural historians on all branches of the performing arts- opera, ballet, the concert stage, theatre, films, radio, television, burlesque, vaudeville, popular music, jazz, the circus, and miscellaneous amateur and local productions. The Collection is particularly strong, however, in the areas of motion pictures and popular music and includes interviews with celebrated performers as well as a wide variety of behind-the-scenes personnel, several of whom are now deceased. Most interviews are biographical in nature although some are focused exclusively on a single topic of historical importance. The Program aims at balancing national developments with examples from local history. Interviews with members of the Dallas Little Theatre, therefore, serve to illustrate a nation-wide movement, while film exhibition across the country is exemplified by the Interstate Theater Circuit of Texas. The interviews have all been conducted by trained historians, who attempt to view artistic achievements against a broad social and cultural backdrop. Many of the persons interviewed, because of educational limitations or various extenuating circumstances, would never write down their experiences, and therefore valuable information on our nation’s cultural heritage would be lost if it were not for the S.M.U. Oral History Program. Interviewees are selected on the strength of (1) their contribution to the performing arts in America, (2) their unique position in a given art form, and (3) availability.

    the director’s cut THE DIRECTOR’S CUT Freud’s Doppelgaenger, The Cut, and Deleted Scenes Geoffrey Garrison Contents Introduction 9 Freud’s Doppelgaenger 13 The Cut 157 Deleted Scenes 189 Bibliographical Essay 239 Introduction When the John Huston fi lm Freud the Secret Passion was dubbed into German, nineteen minutes of the English version were left out of the fi lm. This omission occupied the place of desire that led the short video The Cut, realized in 2005 with the support of the Jan van Eyck Academie in Maastricht, the Netherlands. I had originally proposed to fi nd the material left out of the German version of the fi lm as the basis for a piece—what exactly that art work would be, I did not know at the time. Three years later, I am putting the fi nishing touches on this book as a way of driving the last nail into the coffi n of what has been a long and obsessive production, with many detours. Taking its title from the practice of releasing expanded versions of fi lms on DVD, The Director’s Cut supplements the nineteen minute fi lm The Cut—nineteen minutes to fi ll, in a roundabout way, the space left by the deleted footage—by supplying some needed background and following some abandoned routes. The fi rst and longest screenplay, Freud’s Doppelgaenger, tells of the fi lming of Freud the Secret Passion through the life of Montgomery Clift, 10 i n t r o d u c t i o n Introduction 11 the actor who portrayed Freud in Huston’s fi lm.

  • Everything Began with the Movie Moulin Rouge (2001)
    Introduction Everything began with the movie Moulin Rouge (2001). Since I was so obsessed with this hit film, I couldn’t but want to know more about this particular genre - musical films. Then I started to trace the history of this genre back to Hollywood’s classical musical films. It’s interesting that musical films have undergone several revivals and are usually regarded as the products of escapism. Watching those protagonists singing and dancing happily, the audience can daydream freely and forget about the cruel reality. What are the aesthetic artifices of this genre so enchanting that it always catches the eye of audience generation after generation? What kinds of ideal life do these musical films try to depict? Do they (musical films) merely escape from reality or, as a matter of fact, implicitly criticize the society? In regard to the musical films produced by Hollywood, what do they reflect the contemporary social, political or economic situations? To investigate these aspects, I start my research project on the Hollywood musical film genre from the 1950s (its Classical Period) to 2002. However, some people might wonder that among all those Hollywood movies, what is so special about the musical films that makes them distinguish from the other types of movies? On the one hand, the musical film genre indeed has several important contributions to the Hollywood industry, and its influence never wanes even until today. In need of specialty for musical film production, many talented professional dancers and singers thus get the chances to join in Hollywood and prove themselves as great actors (actresses), too.

In the planning of his movies, he seemed to work alternately toward two complementary goals: to build the dances into the structure of the film as its central, expressive essence; or, to use dances to change the mood entirely, in counterpoint to the rest of the picture, as if a second self were emerging." *The Cinema of Gene Kellv.
