Finding aid created in 2006. Revised and expanded in 2008. Copyright © 2006-2008 Brooklyn Public Library. All rights reserved. Descriptive Summary Creator: Various Title: Brooklyn Theater Playbills and Programs Collection Date Span: 1875-1972 Abstract: The Brooklyn Theater Playbills and Programs Collection consists of 800 playbills and programs for motion pictures, musical concerts, high school commencement exercises, lectures, photoplays, vaudeville, and burlesque, as well as the more traditional offerings such as plays and operas, all from Brooklyn theaters. Quantity: 2.25 linear feet Location: Brooklyn Collection Map Room, cabinet 11 Repository: Brooklyn Public Library – Brooklyn Collection Reference Code: BC0071 Scope and Content Note The 800 items in the Brooklyn Theater Playbills and Programs Collection, which occupies 2.25 cubic feet, easily refute the stereotypes of Brooklyn as provincial and insular. From the late 1880s until the 1940s, the period covered by the bulk of these materials, the performing arts thrived in Brooklyn and were available to residents right at their doorsteps. At one point, there were over 200 theaters in Brooklyn. Frequented by the rich, the middle class and the working poor, they enjoyed mass popularity. With materials from 115 different theaters, the collection spans almost a century, from 1875 to 1972. The highest concentration is in the years 1890 to 1909, with approximately 450 items.

Briefly describe the present physicaldescription of the site or structure and describe any major alterations from its original condition: South Coast Highway is the primary arterial through the City of Laguna Beach which runs from Broadway Street in the downtown to the southern city limits. Though it is predominantly a commercial thoroughfare now, it was original ly devoted 1argely to beach cottages. Many of the original cottages still remain but are now used for commercial purposes. Subsequent to the development of the homes, South Coast Highway became increasingly important as a commercial roadway, and beginning in the mid 201s, bui ldings began to be constructed expressly for commercial purposes. What exists today is a variety of buildings dating from as early as 1888 in one case to the present. The bulk of homes and buildings itemized here date to the period from 1915-35. Most are in good to excellent condition and are well maintained. A range of uses and styles exists which makes South Coast Highway a unique and dynamic arterial.

  • 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.

This report is sign that our economy is getting stronger by the day. I want to emphasize that most of the jobs this month that we're seeing in the statistics represent workers who have been hired to complete the 2010 census. (END VIDEO CLIP) BAIER: Two stops today. President Obama today earlier in Maryland talking about the unemployment rate dropping to 9.7, but the markets tanked on that news because almost all of the jobs were created were for the census, as he talked about. He's down in the Gulf region right now and he has cancelled a planned trip to Australia and to Indonesia because of the Gulf oil spill. He is dealing with a lot. How is he doing? Let's bring in our panel, Fred Barnes, Executive Editor of "The Weekly Standard," Juan Williams, news analyst for Na- tional Public Radio, and syndicated columnist Charles Krauthammer.

  • Zasu Pitts: Actress 1898–1963 by Barbara Giffen
    ZaSu Pitts: Actress 1898–1963 By Barbara Giffen In April 1994, the ZaSu Pitts stamp was issued as one of a group of ten stamps honoring stars of the silent film era. The stamps were designed by Al Hirschfeld. RAP-ed. A career actress who successfully made the transition from silent movies to talking pictures to television, ZaSu Pitts appeared in over 500 films, according to her own estimates. She was born in Kansas (she gave varying versions of the date), but moved to Santa Cruz as a child and grew up in the family home at 208 Lincoln Street. Her unusual name was the result of her mother's desire to please both her sisters, Eliza and Susan; taking one syllable from each name, she came up with the distinctive compromise of ZaSu. From the time she was performing in school plays at Santa Cruz High, ZaSu Pitts' talent for acting was recognized and encouraged. In 1914 she staged a benefit performance at the local Opera House to finance her trip to Hollywood, and set off to join hundreds of other young hopefuls, with promoter Fred Swanton as her agent. She received her first film credit in 1916, and in 1917 was "discovered" by superstar Mary Pickford. From that time on, she enjoyed steady work, as both ingenue and comedienne. It was director Erich von Stroheim who recognized ZaSu Pitts' potential for more serious roles, and who sought to rescue her from the lightweight comedies in which she had been appearing. In 1923 he cast her in the lead female role—the miserly Tina—in his legendary epic, Greed.
