  • THE ELEANOR ROOSEVELT PROGRAM April 13, 1951 Description
    THE ELEANOR ROOSEVELT PROGRAM April 13, 1951 Description: In the opening segment, ER and Elliott Roosevelt respond to a listener's question about the different commissions that are a part of the United Nations. In the interview segment, ER's guest is Shakespearean actor Maurice Evans. In a final segment, ER quotes a passage from the Declaration of Independence. Participants: ER, Elliott Roosevelt, Maurice Evans [ER:] How do you do? This is Eleanor Roosevelt speaking. It gives me great pleasure to visit with you as I do each day at this time from my living room atop the Park Sheraton Hotel overlooking New York. I'm grateful for the many encouraging letters you send me, and most happy that you find my guests both informative and entertaining as I do. Now my son Elliott, who assists me on these programs will speak to you. [Elliott Roosevelt] Yes I will Mother, thank you. Today's guest Mr. Maurice Evans [1901-1989] has brought Shakespearian plays to life for many people in many places but his role on today's program will be strictly Mr. Evans playing himself. Mrs. Roosevelt will introduce him a little later on the program but first we're going to look over the mail and also hear a message from the sponsors who make this recorded program possible. (Break 1:00-1:05) [Elliott Roosevelt:] Mother, today I have a request from Mrs. Tony Rosengarten of Point Pleasant Pennsylvania. She says she wants to learn much more from you about the United Nations, and especially about the different commissions, what is done and what could have been done.

  • 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.

  • Tom Marshall's Weekly News, September 12, 2016 Actors And
    Tom Marshall’s Weekly News, September 12, 2016 Actors and Actresses Depicting Famous People: The Weekly News of December 11, 2006, was entitled “Let’s Go to the Movies.” When I was young during the Golden Age of Hollywood, I loved the movies, culminating in the Club House Theater in Yorklyn, which I operated for two seasons in 1947 and 1948. From the 1930s through the ‘50s, leading stars of the screen were under contract with the big studios and often took roles not to their liking. Among the features during this period was the portrayal of American heroes in full-length films, which carried over to historical documentaries on TV. The earlier movies took liberties with actual facts, but they were popular. Big name stars were often asked to portray historical figures. Sometimes they were honored to do it; often they “had to.” Following is the list of those I can recall. Spencer Tracy: Clarence Darrow, Father Flanagan, Christopher Jones, Jimmy Doolittle, Thomas Edison, Robert Rogers. Edward Arnold: Pawnee Bill, Daniel Webster Walter Hampden: Thomas Jefferson Hal Holbrook: John Adams, Mark Twain, Abraham Lincoln Henry Fonda: Abraham Lincoln James Stewart: Glenn Miller, Charles A.

For more information, contact the Louis B. Mayer Library. Acquisition Method: Donated by Michael Nesmith in 1990. BIOGRAPHICAL/HISTORY NOTE: Fritz Lang was a noted filmmaker who immigrated to Hollywood via France during WWII in 1934, in protest against the Nazi regime, becoming a United States citizen in 1939. Lang was born Friedrich Christian Anton Lang in Vienna, Austria, on December 5, 1890 to parents Anton and Paula Lang. He briefly attended the Technical University of Vienna where he studied civil engineering before switching to art; he studied painting under teachers in Vienna, Munich, and Paris. In WWI Lang served in the Austrian Army where he was wounded three times and decorated four times while fighting in Russia and Romania. His German Expressionist films, including METROPOLIS (1927) and M (1931), are considered precursors to the film noir style of filmmaking that was popular in Hollywood from the early 1940s to late 1950s. Upon his move to the United States, Lang was employed at Metro- Goldwyn-Mayer Studios (M-G-M), where he rose to prominence by directing FURY (1936).

    Oral history interview with Vincent Price, 1992 Aug. 6-14 Funding for the digital preservation of this interview was provided by a grant from the Save America's Treasures Program of the National Park Service. Contact Information Reference Department Archives of American Art Smithsonian Institution Washington. D.C. 20560 www.aaa.si.edu/askus Transcript Preface The following oral history transcript is the result of a tape-recorded interview with Vincent Price on August 6, 1992. The interview took place in Los Angeles, California, and was conducted by Paul Karlstrom for the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution. Interview Tape 1, side A (30-minute tape sides) [At the time of this interview, Mr. Price was quite ill with Parkinson’s disease—Ed.] PAUL KARLSTROM: [Archives of American—Ed.] Art, Smithsonian Institution, an interview with Vincent Price on August 6, 1992, at his home in the Hollywood Hills—I guess this area is called—up at the top of Doneny, in a home that’s literally covered with art objects. This is the first session in a projected series. We’ll see how it goes over a period of time, dealing with Mr. Price’s career, and particularly his involvement with the arts, specifically and primarily in Southern California. This is Tape one, side A, and the interviewer for the Archives is Paul Karlstrom, West Coast Regional Director. So I think that we can get started. Well, I should say that this is a pleasure, an honor. I’m pleased to be here, and I’m glad that I’m the one that gets to do this interview.
