Sonya Levien Papers, The Huntington Library, San Marino, California. Provenance Gifts of Mr. & Mrs. Lee Gold, May 1960, 1980 and 1993. The largest part of the collection was given by the Golds in May 1960, including awards, correspondence, manuscripts, and photographs. In February 1980, the Golds donated an additional 33 pieces (accession number 730) that include clippings and xeroxed advertisements relating to screenplays written by Sonya Levien. In May 1993, 3 pieces (accession number 1377) were donated that include motion picture film of Sonya Levien and friends, ca. 1935-1959. Cataloging Decisions 1. This collection was cataloged during a time of transition in cataloging procedures; therefore, some of the name forms on the folders may vary, reflecting the changes in these procedures. However, the names have been rendered consistently in this report according to standard authorized names. 2. Screenplays - There are added entries for screenplays in which Sonya Levien is a joint author, i.e. not listed first as author. 3. Manuscripts and Correspondence - Sonya Levien and Carl Hovey are not indexed as addressees; Sonya Levien and Carl Hovey are indexed as joint authors. 4. Oversize Photograph (HM 74388) - this photograph was damaged and required restoration treatment by the Conservation Department; therefore, it was not available to be cataloged with the collection in 1997. The photograph was subsequently returned to the Manuscripts Department, cataloged and added to the collection (Box 35), so the call number is out of sequence with the rest of the collection. Biographical Note Sonya Levien (1888?-1960) was born in Russia, most likely around 1888, although her "official" birth date is usually given as 25 December 1898. Her family immigrated to the United States when she was eight years old, settling on the East Side of New York City. She worked her way through New York University Law School and was admitted to the bar in 1909. Deciding not to practice law, she secured a position on the Woman's Journal, a magazine owned by Alice Stone Blackwell, primarily devoted to woman's suffrage. She joined the staff of Metropolitan magazine, eventually becoming an assistant editor. She married the magazine's editor, Carl Hovey, in 1917; they had two children, and remained married until his death Sonya Levien Papers: Finding Aid mssHM 55683-56785, mssHM 74388 2 in 1956. Her short stories attracted the attention of Jesse L. Lasky, head of Famous Players-Lasky Corporation. Lasky invited her to Hollywood in 1921. Her first scenario, Cheated Love (1921), was adapted by Levien from one of her short stories. A long-term contract was offered, but not wanting to leave her family in New York City, she declined. Not long after, however, Carl Hovey accepted a position as story editor for Cecil B. DeMille, and Levien returned to California. The Fox Film Corporation signed her to a contract in 1929, where she remained until 1940. At Fox, she was entrusted with writing the screenplays of vehicles for the studio's most popular stars, Janet Gaynor (six films) and Will Rogers (five films). Among her most noteworthy screenplays of this period were Daddy Long Legs (1931), Cavalcade (1933), State Fair (1933), The Country Doctor (1936), In Old Chicago (1938), Drums Along the Mohawk (1939), and The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1939). In 1941, she went to work for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, where her versatility was proven with such films as The Valley of Decision (1945), The Green Years (1946), Quo Vadis (1951), The Great Caruso (1951), Oklahoma! (1955), Interrupted Melody (1955), for which she and William Ludwig won the Academy Award for story and screenplay, and Bhowani Junction (1956). She was credited with 70 screenplays and was the sole screenwriter for 32 films. Sonya Levien died of cancer on 19 March 1960. Bibliography American Jewish Biography. Vol II. ed.

  • The Dublin Gate Theatre Archive, 1928 - 1979
    Charles Deering McCormick Library of Special Collections Northwestern University Libraries Dublin Gate Theatre Archive The Dublin Gate Theatre Archive, 1928 - 1979 History: The Dublin Gate Theatre was founded by Hilton Edwards (1903-1982) and Micheál MacLiammóir (1899-1978), two Englishmen who had met touring in Ireland with Anew McMaster's acting company. Edwards was a singer and established Shakespearian actor, and MacLiammóir, actually born Alfred Michael Willmore, had been a noted child actor, then a graphic artist, student of Gaelic, and enthusiast of Celtic culture. Taking their company’s name from Peter Godfrey’s Gate Theatre Studio in London, the young actors' goal was to produce and re-interpret world drama in Dublin, classic and contemporary, providing a new kind of theatre in addition to the established Abbey and its purely Irish plays. Beginning in 1928 in the Peacock Theatre for two seasons, and then in the theatre of the eighteenth century Rotunda Buildings, the two founders, with Edwards as actor, producer and lighting expert, and MacLiammóir as star, costume and scenery designer, along with their supporting board of directors, gave Dublin, and other cities when touring, a long and eclectic list of plays. The Dublin Gate Theatre produced, with their imaginative and innovative style, over 400 different works from Sophocles, Shakespeare, Congreve, Chekhov, Ibsen, O’Neill, Wilde, Shaw, Yeats and many others. They also introduced plays from younger Irish playwrights such as Denis Johnston, Mary Manning, Maura Laverty, Brian Friel, Fr. Desmond Forristal and Micheál MacLiammóir himself. Until his death early in 1978, the year of the Gate’s 50th Anniversary, MacLiammóir wrote, as well as acted and designed for the Gate, plays, revues and three one-man shows, and translated and adapted those of other authors.

  • The People's Institute, the National Board of Censorship and the Problem of Leisure in Urban America
    In Defense of the Moving Pictures: The People's Institute, The National Board of Censorship and the Problem of Leisure in Urban America Nancy J, Rosenbloom Located in the midst of a vibrant and ethnically diverse working-class neighborhood on New York's Lower East Side, the People's Institute had by 1909 earned a reputation as a maverick among community organizations.1 Under the leadership of Charles Sprague Smith, its founder and managing director, the Institute supported a number of political and cultural activities for the immigrant and working classes. Among the projects to which Sprague Smith committed the People's Institute was the National Board of Censorship of Motion Pictures. From its creation in June 1909 two things were unusual about the National Board of Censorship. First, its name to the contrary, the Board opposed growing pressures for legalized censorship; instead it sought the voluntary cooperation of the industry in a plan aimed at improving the quality and quantity of pictures produced. Second, the Board's close affiliation with the People's Institute from 1909 to 1915 was informed by a set of assumptions about the social usefulness of moving pictures that set it apart from many of the ideas dominating American reform. In positioning itself to defend the moving picture industry, the New York- based Board developed a national profile and entered into a close alliance with the newly formed Motion Picture Patents Company. What resulted was a partnership between businessmen and reformers that sought to offset middle-class criticism of the medium. The officers of the Motion Picture Patents Company also hoped 0026-3079/92/3302-O41$1.50/0 41 to increase middle-class patronage of the moving pictures through their support of the National Board.

  • Film (CORE-UA.750)
    1 Dana Polan Fall 2017 Frank Sinatra: Movies, Music, Media, Masculinity Expressive Culture: Film (CORE-UA.750) W 12:30 – 4:30 PM ROOM: Cantor 102 office: 629 Tisch office hours: Tues. 9:15 AM - 12:15PM and by appointment phone: (212) 998-1614 email: [email protected] Although he is obviously best known within realms of American popular culture as a singer, Frank Sinatra had of course a very important and extensive career in Hollywood cinema (along with other media such as radio and television). While a number of the films serve certainly as little more than star vehicles (whether conceived of as such by the major studios during the decades of the 1940s and 1950s when the classic studio system was still in place or orchestrated by Sinatra himself from the late 1950s on, when the break-up of the studio system encouraged creative personnel to go independent and develop projects of their own), it is striking how often Sinatra worked with directors that film study has come to think of as auteurs – creators of a cinema of exploration and inventive style often revealing of a personal directorial vision in both theme and visual design. Many of these stand-out films use Sinatra’s connotations as a performer from an ethnic and working-class background to investigate – and sometimes interrogate – postwar class structures and strictures, especially around projections of masculinity. This course approaches the culture and politics of postwar America through a study of key films starring Frank Sinatra. Yet while the course will focus most on cinema and the meanings of performance within that medium, we will also pay extensive attention to Sinatra’s efforts in other media, such as radio and recording where we will devote much time to the analysis of pop music as American expressive art.
