  • TSAP 2016 Screening Schedule
    To Save and Project: The 14th MoMA International Festival of Film Preservation Screening Schedule November 2–23, 2016 The Roy and Niuta Titus Theaters Cock of the Air. 1932. USA. Directed by Tom Buckingham. Screenplay by Charles Lederer, Robert E. Sherwood. With Chester Morris, Billie Dove, Matt Moore. Co-presented with the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences, this New York premiere kicks off To Save and Project. Producer Howard Hughes combined two of his principal interests—one of them was airplanes—for this amazingly raunchy comedy set in Europe during World War I, with Chester Morris as an American pilot with an international reputation as a womanizer and Billie Dove as a French actress determined to teach him a lesson. Hughes tried but failed to sneak the film past the Hays censorship office and was forced to cut nearly two reels of footage; this restoration from the Academy Film Archive includes much of the censored imagery and uses newly recorded dialogue to fill in lines removed from the surviving soundtrack. The unheralded director Tom Buckingham demonstrates a surprisingly assured hand with extreme long takes, a technique he may have learned as a writer on Tay Garnett’s Her Man. DCP. 80 min. Wednesday, November 2, 4:30 (introduced by Michael Pogorzelski, Director, and Heather Linville, Film Preservationist, Academy Film Archive) Sunday, November 6, 4:00 p.m. The Front Page. 1931. USA. Directed by Lewis Milestone. Screenplay by Ben Hecht, Charles MacArthur, based on their play. With Pat O’Brien, Adolphe Menjou, Mary Brian. Co-presented with the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences, this New York premiere kicks off To Save and Project.

  • Biography of Bessie (Harrison) (Eyton) (Coffey) Mcdonald
    Biography of Bessie (Harrison) (Eyton) (Coffey) McDonald BESSIE HARRISON was born 05 July 1890 in Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara County, California and died, 22 January 1965 at the age of 74 in Thousand Oaks, Ventura County, California. Her Cause of Death was Congestive Heart Failure. She is buried at Ivy Lawn Memorial Park, Ventura, Ventura County, California on January 29, 1965 in Section E, Plot 26, Grave 6E with the name of BESSIE MCDONALD. Her parents were EDGAR THOMAS HARRISON and CLARIBEL MEAD. She married 1st CHARLES F. EYTON (1871- 1941), Selig producer, about 1909 and divorced between 1912 and 1915. She married 2nd CLARK BREWER COFFEY (1885 - ) 29 September 1916 and divorced 29 June 1923. She married 3rd a <unknown> MCDONALD. In the 1900 U.S. Census at the age of nine, Bessie lived along with her parents and brother Elbert, on South Hope Street in Los Angeles. By the 1910 U.S. Census as indicated on the census, she was married to Charles F. Eyton for a year and living on North 49th Street in Los Angeles. In the 1920 U.S. Census, she is married but apparently separated from her second husband, Clark Coffey. She is living on Hillcrest Road in Los Angeles with her mother, who was also remarried and divorced from her second husband, Henry Brightly. Also living with her was brother, Elbert; and her half brother and sister, Henry and Claribel. Bessie got into show business by way of her father Edgar, who was a musician. The 1917 “Lincoln Daily Star” stated “she was visiting the Selig studios with a party of friends, when a director saw and liked her red hair because he said it would photograph a beautiful black, so he offered her a minor role.” As was common during that period, she married quite young and used her married name Eyton throughout her career, even after her divorce.

  • A Victim of the Mormons and the Danites: Images and Relics from Early Twentieth-Century Anti-Mormon Silent Films
    Jacob W. Olmstead: Images from Early Anti-Mormon Silent Films 203 A Victim of the Mormons and The Danites: Images and Relics from Early Twentieth-Century Anti-Mormon Silent Films Jacob W. Olmstead In the fall of 1999, while searching through one of the newspaper clip- pings volumes of the William Spry papers in the L. Tom Perry Special Collections at Brigham Young University, I came across a headline that piqued my interest. The headline read, “Mormon Governor Threat to Bar Films in Utah.” The article documents Spry’s years as governor of Utah.1 For the next several months, BYU history professor Brian Q. Cannon and I began to uncover the circumstances in which Governor Spry would make such an audacious threat. We discovered that in 1911 and 1912, at least half a dozen silent films presenting scurrilous tales about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints were released in Europe and the United States (see Appendix). These films, with alluring titles such as A Victim of the Mormons or The Mountain Meadows Massacre, emerged in the wake of an anti-Mormon movement that originated with the 1904–1906 Reed Smoot Hearings and swept through the United States and later Europe. This crusade against “the Mormon problem” was bellowed through a number of venues, including dime novels, popular magazines, newspapers, traveling lecturers, and plays, all claiming to offer a truthful glimpse into the practices of Mormonism. Like the novels and magazine articles, the films drew upon accounts of plural marriage, the Mountain Meadows massacre, and the Danites as fodder for their sensational stories.

  • THE GREAT WAR: a CINEMATIC LEGACY OPENS at Moma on the CENTENARY of the START of WORLD WAR I
    THE GREAT WAR: A CINEMATIC LEGACY OPENS AT MoMA ON THE CENTENARY OF THE START OF WORLD WAR I The Great War: A Cinematic Legacy August 4—September 21, 2014 The Roy and Niuta Titus Theaters NEW YORK, July 8, 2014–Opening on the 100th anniversary of the day World War I began, The Museum of Modern Art’s The Great War: A Cinematic Legacy runs from August 4 through September 21, 2014, highlighting 60 feature-length films and thematic programs that attempt to provide a comprehensive view of the war as portrayed in film. The various films focus on prewar activities; espionage; the battlefields in the trenches, in the air, and on and beneath the sea; actualités; and the various homefronts before, during, and after the war. Familiar films, such as A Farewell to Arms (1932) and Lawrence of Arabia (1962), along with several lesser-known works from as far away as New Zealand—including Chunuk Bair (1992)—reflect the universality of a war that reshaped the prevailing values of what passed for civilization. In August, the program is predominately drawn from the early years, either during the war or in the succeeding decades, and includes several silent films. The program in September will concentrate mainly on later, more contemporary films up to, and including, Steven Spielberg’s War Horse (2011). The Great War is organized by Charles Silver, Curator, with Dave Kehr, Adjunct Curator, Department of Film, The Museum of Modern Art. Many of the films in the series deal with the entrenched stalemate in France, including Verdun, Vision d’Histoire (Verdun, Vision of History) (1928) directed by Leon Poirier.

Movie Memorabilia (part 2) Series 1 – Correspondence Twenty-six pieces of correspondence are arranged alphabetically by author then sub-arranged in chronological order. The majority of the correspondence is from Jack and Charmian London to Mr. Wiget, the caretaker of their ranch in Glen Ellen, or to Ed and Ida Winship. The correspondence also includes one love letter from Jack to Charmian. Series 2 – First Appearances: Writings published in magazines Magazines often provided the first appearances of Jack London’s short stories and novels in serialized form. For example, The Call of the Wild first appeared in the Saturday Evening Post in June of 1903. It was then published later that same year by the Macmillan Company. Studying first appearances in magazines gives the researcher the opportunity to analyse textual changes that occurred over time and provides an opportunity to view the original illustrations. In several instances, Jack London specifically chose the illustrator for his stories. The collection contains two hundred and thirty-seven of Jack London’s magazine publications, both fiction and non-fiction, including many first appearances.

  • Julia Crawford Ivers
    Julia Crawford Ivers Also Known As: J. C. Ivers, Julia Ivers, "Lady of the Shadows" Lived: October 3, 1867 - May 9, 1930 Worked as: co-director, co-screenwriter, director, editor, film cutter, producer, production supervisor, scenario writer, screenwriter Worked In: United States by April Miller When discussing Julia Crawford Ivers, film historians primarily emphasize two things: her remarkably introverted personality, and her role as principle scenarist for William Desmond Taylor (Foster 1995, 199; Lowe 2005, 286). However, her 1930 obituaries assign Ivers a more independent and influential position, with the New York Times describing her as a “scenario writer, director and production supervisor” (19) and the Los Angeles Times making the inflated and incorrect claim that Ivers was “the second woman to become a film director in Hollywood” (A20). Given that a number of other women directed motion pictures before Ivers had her first opportunity in 1915, this last claim may say more about the way early Hollywood publicity machines operated than about the nature of her film industry work between 1913 and 1923. One might speculate that Ivers, given her tendency to avoid publicity, became an inadvertent public figure after she found herself briefly considered as a suspect in Taylor’s infamous, and still officially unsolved, 1922 murder. Perhaps it was this suspicion, combined with her extreme shyness and the almost total unavailability of photographic images of her, that led to the name “Lady of the Shadows” that has become attached to Ivers. The few glimpses we have of Julia Crawford Ivers come from the obligatory publicity she did as a studio employee, reviews of the films she wrote and directed, and her aforementioned obituaries.
