June 11 at 6:30 PM Film : Treasure Island (1934) with a Talk Back with MSMT Artistic Director Curt Dale Clark. The 1934 film directed by Victor Fleming and starring Wallace Beery, Jackie Cooper, Lionel Barrymore, Lewis Stone, and Nigel Bruce is an adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson’s famous 1883 novel of the same name. Jim Hawkins discovers a treasure map and travels on a sailing ship to a remote island, but pirates led by Long John Silver threaten to take away the honest seafarers’ riches and lives. June 12 at 6:30 PM “The Two Sides of Robert Louis Stevenson” a discussion with David Ingmundson, Teacher of Reading, Design Workshop at Morse High School; Instructor of English Composition at Southern Maine Community College. In 1885, Robert Louis Stevenson published “A Child’s Garden of Verses,” a charming collection still read by and to children today. In 1886, he published “Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde,” a brilliant and frightening tale of Gothic horror that probes the darkest corners of human nature. How do we reconcile the two sides of Stevenson’s genius? Join a discussion of the author, his work, his childhood, his illnesses, successes, and fears. Perhaps the answers can be found in Stevenson’s childhood in Edinburgh, a place he later referred to as a “lamp lit Vicious Fairyland.” Or perhaps we can find enough clues in the writing itself.

    1. Classic Literature Reading List for Middle School Students

    1. Classic Literature Reading List for Middle School Students By: LuAnn Schindler Many middle school students enjoy the connection with a young adult novel, but classic literature never goes out of style. Several humanities organizations have established a classic literature reading list that emphasizes the importance of reading timeless books. This list introduces new characters and alien worlds to the middle school set. Several of these books are commonly taught in middle school English classes, so adding them to a summer reading list can give your child an advantage when they come up during the school year.

    The Strange and Wondrous Tale of Bill Constable & the Cinemascope Pirates of Pagewood

    1 “AAARRRHH THERE MATEY!” - The Strange and Wondrous Tale of Bill Constable & the Cinemascope Pirates of Pagewood... by Bob Hill, Oct 2018 In early 1954... and a world away from the dense urban spread of today’s Sydney... the southern suburb of Pagewood was little more than wind blasted sand hills and scrub encroached upon by rows of hastily thrown up brick bungalows, a couple of isolated factories and a desolate bus depot. In the middle of this literal and figurative wasteland, a strange enterprise was taking place in Australia’s only purpose-built film studio complex - the making of “Long John Silver”, a Hollywood style blockbuster replete with imported stars, executives and key technicians in all the Heads of Department roles... that is, all except for their Production Designer, a middle aged Australian about to make his first foray into film! 2 1. Hollywood in the Sand Hills Pagewood studios, 1954 - then named “Television City”, 2 years before TV arrived in Australia! (NSW State Library) “Television City seems to have borrowed its architectural inspiration from Long Bay Gaol...” ‘Pagewood’ is the great lost studio of Australian film-making: As Wikipedia explains... The studio was built in 1935 for National Productions by National Studios Ltd, it was originally known as National Studios. It was constructed for the presumed increase in production that most observers thought would result in Australia following introduction of the NSW Film Quota Act... They were the first new film studios built in Australia since 1912. Gaumont British helped provide finance and personnel in its construction.1 The Quota Act was never enforced and instead of becoming the hub of film production in Sydney, makeshift facilities at Cinesound in Bondi Junction (an old roller skating rink) and Figtree Studios in Lane Cove (a converted picnic ground pavilion) soon eclipsed the better equipped Pagewood studios.

  • From Braemar to Hollywood: the American Appropriation of Robert Louis Stevenson’S Pirates

    From Braemar to Hollywood: the American Appropriation of Robert Louis Stevenson’S Pirates

    humanities Article From Braemar to Hollywood: The American Appropriation of Robert Louis Stevenson’s Pirates Richard J. Hill 1,* and Laura Eidam 2,* 1 English Department, Chaminade University, Honolulu, HI 96816, USA 2 Rare Book School, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA 22904, USA * Correspondence: [email protected] (R.J.H.); [email protected] (L.E.) Received: 30 October 2019; Accepted: 24 December 2019; Published: 11 January 2020 Abstract: The pirate tropes that pervade popular culture today can be traced in large part to Robert Louis Stevenson’s 1883 novel, Treasure Island. However, it is the novel’s afterlife on film that has generated fictional pirates as we now understand them. By tracing the transformation of the author’s pirate captain, Long John Silver, from N. C. Wyeth’s illustrations (1911) through the cinematic performances of Wallace Beery (1934) and Robert Newton (1950), this paper demonstrates that the films have created a quintessentially “American pirate”—a figure that has necessarily evolved in response to differences in medium, the performances of the leading actors, and filmgoers’ expectations. Comparing depictions of Silver’s dress, physique, and speech patterns, his role vis-à-vis Jim Hawkins, each adaptation’s narrative point of view, and Silver’s departure at the end of the films reveals that while the Silver of the silver screen may appear to represent a significant departure from the text, he embodies a nuanced reworking of and testament to the author’s original. Keywords: Robert Louis Stevenson; Treasure Island; pirate; film; illustration 1. Introduction Piracy has shaped modern America. Four hundred years ago, in late August 1619, the privateer ship White Lion sold several captive Africans from Angola into servitude to the fledgling English colony of Virginia (National Park Service 2019).

  • Individualism and National Identity in Disney's Early British Films

    Individualism and National Identity in Disney's Early British Films

    1 Noel Brown Individualism and National Identity in Disney’s Early British Films Abstract This article centres on a series of live-action Disney movies filmed and set in Britain, and released between the early-1950s and late-1960s: The Story of Robin Hood and His Merrie Men (1952), The Sword and the Rose (1953), Rob Roy, The Highland Rogue (1953), Kidnapped (1960), and The Fighting Prince of Donegal (1966). Through close analysis of this group of films, it examines the extent to which these Anglo-American productions successfully negotiate a mid-Atlantic path between British and North American customs and ideologies, arguing that, while derived from British historical, literary and folktale narratives, ultimately they reflect and embody complex and characteristically American values of freedom and individualism. Keywords Disney, individualism, national identity, 1950s, Britain 2 Noel Brown With the release of Treasure Island (dir. Byron Haskin) in 1950, Disney embarked upon a programme of live-action feature films shot in Britain, and with British subjects. Treasure Island marked the beginning of a very profitable and long-standing preoccupation with ‘Britishness’ for the studio and for its founder, Walt Disney. Representations of Britain and Britishness are recurring presences in many of the studio’s animated films between the 1950s and 1970s, including Alice in Wonderland (Clyde Geronimi et al., 1951), Peter Pan (Geronimi et al., 1953), The Jungle Book (Wolfgang Reitherman et al., 1967), and Robin Hood (Reitherman et al., 1973). Moreover, Disney’s strong interest in Britain extended to filming 15 of its movies in the UK between 1950 and 1979.
