Of course, that was the aim of his magisterial scholarly work, and while unquestionably impressive, his tome turned out to be by no means the last word on the topic.

  • Mid-August Lunch
    Nashville Director: Robert Altman Country: USA Date: 1975 A review by Roger Ebert: Taking down Pauline Kael's 1976 collection Reeling to re-read her famous review of "Nashville," I find a yellow legal sheet marking the page: my notes for a class I taught on the film. "What is this story about?" I wrote. The film may be great because you can't really answer that question. It is a musical; Robert Altman observes in his commentary on the new DVD re-release that it contains more than an hour of music. It is a docudrama about the Nashville scene. It is a political parable, written and directed in the immediate aftermath of Watergate (the scenes in the Grand Ole Opry were shot on the day Richard M. Nixon resigned). It tells interlocking stories of love and sex, of hearts broken and mended. And it is a wicked satire of American smarminess ("Welcome to Nashville and to my lovely home," a country star gushes to Elliott Gould). But more than anything else, it is a tender poem to the wounded and the sad. The most unforgettable characters in the movie are the best ones: Lily Tomlin's housewife, who loves her deaf sons. The lonely soldier who stands guard over the country singer his mother saved from a fire. The old man grieving for his wife, who has just died. Barbara Harris' runaway wife, who rises to the occasion when she is handed the microphone after a shooting. And even that smarmy country singer (Henry Gibson), who when the chips are down acts in the right way.

  • Robert Altman's Nashville Hassan Melehy, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, USA
    Narratives of Politics and History in the Spectacle of Culture: Robert Altman's Nashville Hassan Melehy, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, USA Robert Altman's Nashville (1975) has long been recognized as a masterpiece in its treatment of the spectacularization of American culture through an ostensible examination of the country music industry. In this article I will consider the movie's critique of the ways that American politics, history, and culture are produced as simulacra through the media, with attention to the function of narrative in this production. [1] The movie presents these fields as scarcely available except as simulacra in a "society of the spectacle"; the social relations that Nashville denotes are mediated especially by the proliferation of visual images (Debord, 1995: 12). Much previous writing on Nashville has very effectively noted its critique of politics, history, and culture through its staging of their spectacularized forms -- I will refer to many excellent commentaries. What I propose here is that Nashville treats these domains as inseparable from the mechanisms of representation and simulation in which they take place, indeed as taking place solely and uniquely in them. Through reflexive strategies, the film doesn't stop short of implicating cinema, and indeed itself, in the systems of simulation that it examines. [2] As a film that treats U.S. culture and politics in a time of crisis, Nashville's critique underscores cultural operations that persist in their effectiveness into the present day. As in the mid-1970s, the U.S. currently finds itself exhausted from an unpopular war and divided over the proper way to end the term of a president viewed as a failure largely in connection with his handling of the war.

I am especially grateful for her thoughtful insight and tireless dedication to my research and writing about films, most especially her guidance with this project on the women in Robert Altman’s films. I would have never completed this project without her unwavering commitment to my research and writing. I would also like to thank my committee members Dr. Genevieve West and Dr. Brian Fehler for providing invaluable comments and feedback on my work. I am especially grateful for the tough questions they asked because those questions made me dig deeper and think harder when I made revisions. Their comments and questions have also led me toward ideas for future research and writing, and that is a priceless contribution indeed. Finally, there are two additional professors I would like to thank for their contributions to my research, writing, and academic growth.

The Ohio State University, Ph.D., 1968 Speech-Theater University Microfilms, Inc., Ann Arbor, Michigan THE HISTORY OF THE HARTMAN THEATRE 1938 - 1963 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Charles Andrew Rodgers, B„Sc0, M.A„ ****** The Ohio State University 1968 Approved by p/ p s Adviser PREFACE The popular, even the scholarly, concept of the American theatre has tended to center about theatrical ac­ tivities in New York City0 Only recently, with increasing emphasis placed upon educational, community, and summer theatre, has there arisen increasing recognition of the theatrical world outside New York. And though the ex­ istence of the road has long been acknowledged, a substan­ tial part of that theatre history--made when the theatre’s most important personalities in their original roles were criss-crossing America--still remains to be written. In the professional theatre of the nineteen sixties the road is confined to a relatively small group of larger cities privileged to view Broadway successes and mediocrities Columbus, Ohio is one of these cities. Over the years Columbus has had many legitimate playhouses (Market House, Comstock's Theatre, The Great Southern Theatre), but the Hartman Theatre, since its opening in 1911, has been the busiest and most important theatre in central Ohio. From its opening until the present except for a period of dark­ ness between 1963 and 1964, the Hartman has made profes­ sional theatre available to Ohio audiences.

  • PN—Savage Eye, Long Version
    Joseph Strickʼs The Savage Eye and Muscle Beach Wednesday, February 18, 2009 – Yerba Buena Center for the Arts Uniquely intersecting the realm of documentary and narrative cinema, The Savage Eye pairs three innovative filmmakers (Joseph Strick, Ben Maddow and Sidney Meyers) with three stellar cinematographers (Haskell Wexler, Helen Levitt and Jack Couffer) to create a snapshot of late- 1950s American life in transition. This masterpiece of vérité filmmaking, culled from discordant materials yet remarkably unified in a fictive context, remains as compelling today as the year of its initial release. We present The Savage Eye with Joseph Strickʼs earliest documentary short, Muscle Beach, both beautifully restored by the Academy Film Archive. (Jonathan Marlow) Muscle Beach (1948) by Joseph Strick and Irving Lerner; 35mm, b&w, sound, 9 minutes, print from the Academy Film Archive “In 1948, Joseph Strick and co-director Irving Lerner cast a more benign eye on a then- disreputable civic landmark, Muscle Beach, an outdoor gym on the sand with bleachers for spectators, just south of the Santa Monica pier. In those days, weight-lifting and gymnastics were sports for freaks and queers, but Strick and Lerner make them look wholesome, helped along by a buoyant, kitschy talking blues composed and sung by Earl Robinson, with lyrics by Edwin Rolfe. Muscle Beach captures a brief moment of innocence and optimism before the Korean War and the politics of hysteria it engendered.” (Thom Andersen) The Savage Eye (1959) by Joseph Strick, Ben Maddow and Sidney Meyers; 35mm, b&w, sound, 67 minutes, print from the Academy Film Archive “Our first idea was Los Angeles as seen by Hogarth.

Hernandez-Delgado Associate: Mr. Eli Arthur Schwartz Volunteer: Ms. Toby Schwartz Date: November, 2006 Revised: December, 2012 3 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH Vera Mowry (Roberts) was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on October 21, 1913, the second daughter of Joseph E. and Emma C. Mowry. Her elementary and high school education was in the Pittsburgh public Schools. Early identified as “gifted,” she entered school six months before her sixth birthday, being placed in the second grade, since she was already reading fluently. She subsequently “skipped” another full grade finishing the eighth year at the age of twelve. She attended South High School, graduating as valedictorian of a class of sixty. She was active in extra- curricular affairs, particularly the honorary Literary Society and the Dramatic Club, playing featured roles in their annual productions. She wrote a column for the school newspaper and edited the senior yearbook. Through the Exceptionally Able Youths’ Committee of the Civic Club of Allegheny County, she was offered a college scholarship to the University of Pittsburgh. In 1932, she was a speaking extra in famed actress Ethel Barrymore’s The Kingdom of God at the Nixon Theatre in Pittsburgh. She was awarded the bachelor’s degree in June, 1934—in the midst of the Great Depression.
