The Camp Chapel Adult Christian Film Seminar Series Presents The Camp Chapel Christian Film Seminar Series Presents: The Camp Chapel UMC Christian Film Seminar Series presents for viewing and discussion secular movies that have Christian themes. The 2020-2021 season examines movies that have unexpected spiritual moments. Sometimes it’s an entire scene, sometimes just a line or two, sometimes maybe just a gesture. For November, a nostalgic memoir... Life with Father This charming movie is set in New York City in the 1880’s, a much simpler time. Clarence Day is a businessman who directs his company with an iron hand. He believes he has that same kind of authority with his family, but does he really? Visiting relatives, growing children, and Mrs. Day’s somewhat creative approaches to the family finances seem to be eating away at his authority as head of his household and king of his castle. Then there is the matter of his never having been baptized... Saturday November 21, 2020, 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm Via Zoom Contact the church office for Zoom connection information. Before and after the film enjoy a lively discussion about it, focusing on the sacrament of baptism. We will use selections from Scripture as our jumping-off point. Life with Father (1947), starring William Powell and Irene Dunne, with Jimmy Lydon, Edmund Gwenn, Zazu Pitts, and Elizabeth Taytlor, directed by Michael Curtiz, has a running time of 118 minutes. This film was nominated for four Academy awards and won the Golden Globe for Best Original Score and the New York Film Critic Circle Award for Best Actor. Join us for a free movie classic.

    The American Century Theater Presents… “LifeWithFather” (Based on the writings of Clarence Day, Jr.) by Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse Audience Guide Audience Guide Nov.About 25–Dec. The American 6 2008; Jan. Century 8-24, Theater2009 Compiled and Edited by Jack Marshall The American Century Theater was founded in 1994. We are a professional company dedicated to presenting great, important, and neglected American plays of the Twentieth Century… what Henry Luce called “the American Century.” The company’s mission is one of rediscovery, enlightenment, and perspective, not nostalgia or preservation. Americans must not lose the extraordinary vision and wisdom of past playwrights, nor can we afford to surrender our moorings to our shared cultural heritage. Our mission is also driven by a conviction that communities need theater, and theater needs audiences. To those ends, this company is committed to producing plays that challenge and move all Americans, of all ages, origins and points of view. In particular, we strive to create theatrical experiences that entire families can watch, enjoy, and discuss long afterward. These study guides are part of our effort to enhance the appreciation of these works, so rich in history, content, and grist for debate. 2 Table of Contents The Playwrights 4 Life With Father on the Screen 7 Clarence Shepard Day, Jr. 13 The Gift of Song 14 By Clarence Shepard Day, Jr. TV Domestic Comedy 18 American Century Theater Season 22 3 The Playwrights: Howard Lindsay (1889-1968) and Russel Crouse (1893-1966) Lindsay and Crouse were one of the most dynamic, successful and long-lasting theatrical teams in American theater history, though they are almost forgotten today.

  • William Powell ~ 23 Films
    William Powell ~ 23 Films William Horatio Powell was born 29 July 1892 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. In 1907, he moved with his family to Kansas City, Missouri, where he graduated from Central High School in 1910. The Powells lived just a few blocks away from the Carpenters, whose daughter Harlean also found success in Hollywood as Blonde Bombshell Jean Harlow, although she and Powell did not meet until both were established actors. After school, Powell attended New York City's American Academy Of Dramatic Arts. Work in vaudeville, stock companies and on Broadway followed until, in 1922, aged 30, playing an evil henchman of Professor Moriarty in a production of Sherlock Holmes, his Hollywood career began. More small parts followed and he did sufficiently well that, in 1924, he was signed by Paramount Pictures, where he stayed for the next seven years. Though stardom was elusive, he did eventually attract attention as arrogant film director Lev Andreyev in The Last Command (1928) before finally landing his breakthrough role, that of detective Philo Vance in The Canary Murder Case (1929). Unlike many silent actors, the advent of sound boosted Powell's career. His fine, urbane voice, stage training and comic timing greatly aided his successful transition to the talkies. However, not happy with the type of roles he was getting at Paramount, in 1931 he switched to Warner Bros. His last film for them, The Kennel Murder Case (1933), was also his fourth and last Philo Vance outing. In 1934 he moved again, to MGM, where he was paired with Myrna Loy in Manhattan Melodrama (1934).

The five units deal with the new journalism and the student voice, speculation about life on other planets, ale/female roles in literature and the media, the "exodus" theme in black American literature, and divorce. For each unit, the contributors provide daily lesson plans and list objectives, evaluation measures, books and other materials, and suggested activities.
