027 TV's 1953 Adventures of Superman 027 TV’s 1953 Adventures of Superman Episode 27 “Five Minutes to Doom” by Charles A. Wagner September 18, 1953 (The 1953 production of The Adventures of Superman is immediately set apart from the 1951 venture by a more pleasant Lois Lane played by Noel Neill from the serials. The tension between Clark and Lois almost seems to give way to professional respect. However, I will really miss Phyllis Coates’ screams.) The prison warden ushered Clark Kent and Lois Lane into the visiting area where Joe Winters prisoner 2958, who was sentenced to die the following day, was saying his goodbyes to his wife and son. “Joe, what am I gonna do?” “Take care of Billy for me. See that he gets his chance.” When the family had left, Clark put forward a proposition to Winters who had protested his innocence throughout the trial, but now the Daily Planet was willing to pay Joe’s wife $10,000 for the real story. “It’s a deal.” Joe, however, was really innocent and was not able to put up a convincing story. “It’s no use… I can’t confess to something I didn’t do. I didn’t kill Baker.” He did not know who killed Baker or how he did it. “Come on, Clark. We’re wasting our time,” said Lois. Clark heard Winters out, however. Joe Winters had been a county building inspector and had been having trouble with a construction superintendent named Baker. Baker had bypassed Winters and Winters had threatened to stop the job. The next day, there was a struggle and a gunshot. Winter’s revolver had fired one shot and been tossed behind some tools. Winters said he did not see the actual murderer, but he suspected it was W. T. Wayne, the owner of the construction firm. By using substandard steel, Wayne could make a fortune on the job. (How he could fake the invoices and coerce his employees into lying is beyond me. (Joe Winters was portrayed by Dabbs Greer who I always remembered playing pathetic bumbling characters on various other shows. He went on to play a dual role on 2 episode #97 “The Superman Silver Mine,” and started as the boob who nearly fell to his death from the blimp in Episode #1.) Clark had been holding Winter’s wrist. While he told the story, Clark used Winter’s pulse as a lie detector. “I know you’re telling the truth…” said Clark, who now suspected that W.T. Wayne was using substandard materials on the job. “I’m afraid even Superman couldn’t do very much for me now.” “I wouldn’t be too sure of that.” The conversation had not gone unobserved. A prison visitor put through a call to the short, fat, balding, and prominent businessman W.T. Wayne. Taking a secure (?) phone from his desk drawer, Wayne called his henchman named Turk and explained that two nosey reporters would be returning from state prison in a blue convertible, which appeared to be more or less a 1950 Nash Rambler Custom. Turk said he could solve the problem and began loading a bomb into a lunch box. Amazingly enough, shortly thereafter, Lois and Clark picked up Turk who was hitchhiking. (It was also unusual for Lois to drive and Clark to ride.) When they left the rider off, Lois observed that he had forgotten his lunchbox. Clark turned around and looked into the lunchbox. “Step on the gas… faster!” Kent pulled off his glasses, scooped up the bomb from under the seat, and—instead of merely heaving the explosive over the side—dove out clutching the lunchbox to his chest. The explosion ripped off his shirt exposing a big S. “Will you toss me down that trench coat…,” he said with his back to Lois. “I can’t very well come up the way I am.” Lois smiled. “Clark, I want you to know I think that’s one of the bravest things I’ve ever seen,” said Lois. (Or, the dumbest, as far as I am concerned.) “Lois, I think sometimes you underestimate me.” When Perry White decided Winters might be innocent, he went to work digging up information on Wayne’s steel purchases. Jimmy and Clark inspected the construction shack where Baker had been murdered. Jimmy discovered the tool bin had a back panel to allow workers access to the tools without entering the building. Someone could have easily shot Baker from the bin and escaped without being noticed. “Golly! Then maybe” 3 Lois had dug up the construction specifications for the building Wayne had contracted for and Clark compared them to Wayne’s purchases. “Lois, do you suppose you could get an interview with Wayne?” Jimmy went along to protect Miss Lane. “And, don’t call me ‘Chief,’ you young whippersnapper!” Perry shouted at him as he left. Wayne did not wish to see Lois, but she barged in anyway. Lois told the overweight businessman there were rumors about the overpass job being done with cheap substandard materials. Wayne told her he no longer had the specifications and, when Miss Cummings, his secretary, contradicted him and produced the papers, he tore them up and threw them in the wastebasket. When Lois left, Wayne threatened his secretary. “When I want anything from you. I’ll ask for it.” He further told her she was young and healthy and should take his advice and stay that way. Jimmy told Lois he would get the papers. He charged into Wayne’s office carrying a vacuum cleaner, wearing white socks, and plugged it in without being asked. After spraying cigarette ashes all over Wayne’s desk, Jimmy managed to knock over the wastebasket and sweep up the torn document. “Listen to the hum of that motor.” “Take that monstrosity and get out of here before I break your neck.” For once, Jimmy had managed to do the job without getting tied up. Perry, Jimmy, and Lois pieced the scraps together as the screen flashed shots of a dejected Winters and a clock ticking away his life. Clark decided there was enough evidence to get a reprieve. He insisted the cartridges of the murder weapon be inspected for prints (Apparently, the cops were knuckleheads.) and Perry phoned the governor. It was, of course, a dark and stormy night, and all the wires were down between there and State City. Clark said he was going to the governor. Perry said it was impossible to get there and back in time. 4 “I can try.” Joe Winters put down his bible to take his last walk when Superman flew into the governor’s mansion. With less than thirty seconds to go, the governor signed the reprieve and Superman whooshed off. The audience was treated to a silhouette of the death scene as Superman smashed through the wall and prevented the execution by sticking his arm into the electrical switch. “I’m sorry I destroyed your wall, Warden, but here’s a reprieve for Winters.” As it turned out, the cartridges really did have Wayne’s prints on them (Although why Wayne had to load Winter’s firearm was unexplained.) and Miss Cummings provided enough additional information to tie the noose. Jimmy said Wayne was not so smart after all. He said he bet he could have sold Wayne the vacuum cleaner after all if he had really tried.

  • During His Tenure As Head of the BYU Motion Picture Studio, Wetzel O
    During his tenure as head of the BYU Motion Picture Studio, Wetzel O. “Judge” Whitaker directed and produced scores of institutional films, including Church classics such as Windows of Heaven (1963), Man’s Search for Happiness (1964), and Johnny Lingo (1969). He is arguably the most important figure in the history of Mormon film. LDS Church Archives, © Intellectual Reserve, Inc. A History of Mormon Cinema: Third Wave V 77 The Third Wave: Judge Whitaker and the Classical Era (1953–1974) The Third Wave of Mormon cinema is unquestionably the age of Judge Whitaker. He represents the development of Mormon film from its pioneer infancy into classical maturity. The similarities to Hollywood’s classical era are numerous (with important exceptions). Most obviously, Mormon film finally left behind the multitasking artisanal mode of prior decades in favor of a studio-based industrial infrastructure featuring spe- cialized workers. Equally important, the BYU studio produced films of an identifiable, consistent, and aesthetically and culturally conservative style deeply rooted in Hollywood norms. It supplied a steady stream of products to a vertically integrated distribution and exhibition network. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, Church films compare to Hollywood films— and other classical artworks—in their permeating influence upon their host culture. During Whitaker’s tenure, Church films became central to Mormon culture and created a universal doctrinal, cultural, and aesthetic touchstone for Latter-day Saints, to the point that today it is difficult to conceive of the Church without its films and videos. And Judge Whitaker, for his part, has had more influence on Mormon filmmaking than any other person.

The title itself suggests many of the topics about which women were concerned, or at least were supposed to concern them: the mediation of identity through heterosexual partnership, the pressure to marry and the simultaneous emphasis placed on individual achievement. Concerns about marriage and Lois’ ability to enter into it routinely provide the sole narrative dynamic for stories and Superman engages in different methods of avoiding the matrimonial schemes devised by Lois or her main romantic rival, Lana Lang.

  • 2 a Quotation of Normality – the Family Myth 3 'C'mon Mum, Monday
    Notes 2 A Quotation of Normality – The Family Myth 1 . A less obvious antecedent that The Simpsons benefitted directly and indirectly from was Hanna-Barbera’s Wait ‘til Your Father Gets Home (NBC 1972–1974). This was an attempt to exploit the ratings successes of Norman Lear’s stable of grittier 1970s’ US sitcoms, but as a stepping stone it is entirely noteworthy through its prioritisation of the suburban narrative over the fantastical (i.e., shows like The Flintstones , The Jetsons et al.). 2 . Nelvana was renowned for producing well-regarded production-line chil- dren’s animation throughout the 1980s. It was extended from the 1960s studio Laff-Arts, and formed in 1971 by Michael Hirsh, Patrick Loubert and Clive Smith. Its success was built on a portfolio of highly commercial TV animated work that did not conform to a ‘house-style’ and allowed for more creative practice in television and feature projects (Mazurkewich, 1999, pp. 104–115). 3 . The NBC US version recast Feeble with the voice of The Simpsons regular Hank Azaria, and the emphasis shifted to an American living in England. The show was pulled off the schedules after only three episodes for failing to connect with audiences (Bermam, 1999, para 3). 4 . Aardman’s Lab Animals (2002), planned originally for ITV, sought to make an ironic juxtaposition between the mistreatment of animals as material for scientific experiment and the direct commentary from the animals them- selves, which defines the show. It was quickly assessed as unsuitable for the family slot that it was intended for (Lane, 2003 p.

  • Sob Sisters: the Image of the Female Journalist in Popular Culture
    SOB SISTERS: THE IMAGE OF THE FEMALE JOURNALIST IN POPULAR CULTURE By Joe Saltzman Director, Image of the Journalist in Popular Culture (IJPC) Joe Saltzman 2003 The Image of the Female Journalist in Popular Culture revolves around a dichotomy never quite resolved. The female journalist faces an ongoing dilemma: How to incorporate the masculine traits of journalism essential for success – being aggressive, self-reliant, curious, tough, ambitious, cynical, cocky, unsympathetic – while still being the woman society would like her to be – compassionate, caring, loving, maternal, sympathetic. Female reporters and editors in fiction have fought to overcome this central contradiction throughout the 20th century and are still fighting the battle today. Not much early fiction featured newswomen. Before 1880, there were few newspaperwomen and only about five novels written about them.1 Some real-life newswomen were well known – Margaret Fuller, Nelly Bly (Elizabeth Cochrane), Annie Laurie (Winifred Sweet or Winifred Black), Jennie June (Jane Cunningham Croly) – but most female journalists were not permitted to write on important topics. Front-page assignments, politics, finance and sports were not usually given to women. Top newsroom positions were for men only. Novels and short stories of Victorian America offered the prejudices of the day: Newspaper work, like most work outside the home, was for men only. Women were supposed to marry, have children and stay home. To become a journalist, women had to have a good excuse – perhaps a dead husband and starving children. Those who did write articles from home kept it to themselves. Few admitted they wrote for a living. Women who tried to have both marriage and a career flirted with disaster.2 The professional woman of the period was usually educated, single, and middle or upper class.

  • Thinking About Journalism with Superman 132
    Thinking about Journalism with Superman 132 Thinking about Journalism with Superman Matthew C. Ehrlich Professor Department of Journalism University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Urbana, IL [email protected] Superman is an icon of American popular culture—variously described as being “better known than the president of the United States [and] more familiar to school children than Abraham Lincoln,” a “triumphant mixture of marketing and imagination, familiar all around the world and re-created for generation after generation,” an “ideal, a hope and a dream, the fantasy of millions,” and a symbol of “our universal longing for perfection, for wisdom and power used in service of the human race.”1 As such, the character offers “clues to hopes and tensions within the current American consciousness,” including the “tensions between our mythic values and the requirements of a democratic society.”2 This paper uses Superman as a way of thinking about journalism, following the tradition of cultural and critical studies that uses media artifacts as tools “to size up the shape, character, and direction of society itself.”3 Superman’s alter ego Clark Kent is of course a reporter for a daily newspaper (and at times for TV news as well), and many of his closest friends and colleagues are also journalists. However, although many scholars have analyzed the Superman mythology, not so many have systematically analyzed what it might say about the real-world press. The paper draws upon Superman’s multiple incarnations over the years in comics, radio, movies, and television in the context of past research and criticism regarding the popular culture phenomenon.

  • Earl Carroll Theatre History Key Facts: Opened: December 26, 1938 Architect: Gordon B
    Earl Carroll Theatre History Key Facts: Opened: December 26, 1938 Architect: Gordon B. Kaufmann, with interior and exterior design work by Count Alexis de Sakhnovsky and Kaufmann. Building Cost: estimated at $500,000 Seating: 1,000 -- in a dinner-show arrangement (Gordon B. Kaufman also designed the original LA Times building, Hoover Dam, Santa Anita Race Park, and the Palladium across the street, among other buildings.) Earl Carroll built his second famous theater at 6230 Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood, California. It opened on December 26, 1938. As he had done at the New York theater, over the entrance Carroll emblazoned the words "Through these portals pass the most beautiful girls in the world". An "entertainment palace", the glamorous supper club-theater offered shows on a massive stage that featured a 60' turntable with separately operated inner and outer sections. There was also a water curtain, an orchestra pit lift, a small circular lift downstage center for a soloist and a revolving tower of four pianos stage right. The building's façade was adorned by what at the time was one of Hollywood's most famous landmarks: a 20-foot-high (6.1 m) neon head portrait of entertainer Beryl Wallace, one of Earl Carroll's "most beautiful girls in the world", who became his devoted companion. The sign survived several changes of ownership and venue name but was completely removed during major decorative overhauling in 1968. A re-creation made from photos is today on display at Universal CityWalk, at Universal City, as part of the collection of historic neon signs from the Museum of Neon Art.
