  • The North of England in British Wartime Film, 1941 to 1946. Alan
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by CLoK The North of England in British Wartime Film, 1941 to 1946. Alan Hughes, University of Central Lancashire The North of England is a place-myth as much as a material reality. Conceptually it exists as the location where the economic, political, sociological, as well as climatological and geomorphological, phenomena particular to the region are reified into a set of socio-cultural qualities that serve to define it as different to conceptualisations of England and ‘Englishness’. Whilst the abstract nature of such a construction means that the geographical boundaries of the North are implicitly ill-defined, for ease of reference, and to maintain objectivity in defining individual texts as Northern films, this paper will adhere to the notion of a ‘seven county North’ (i.e. the pre-1974 counties of Cumberland, Westmorland, Northumberland, County Durham, Lancashire, Yorkshire, and Cheshire) that is increasingly being used as the geographical template for the North of England within social and cultural history.1 The British film industry in 1941 As 1940 drew to a close in Britain any memories of the phoney war of the spring of that year were likely to seem but distant recollections of a bygone age long dispersed by the brutal realities of the conflict. Outside of the immediate theatres of conflict the domestic industries that had catered for the demands of an increasingly affluent and consuming population were orientated towards the needs of a war economy as plant, machinery, and labour shifted into war production.

There were other Shakespeare-related programmes as well, and the playwright himself appeared in three distinct historical dramas. In large part because no recordings exist of these transmissions (or of any British television Shakespeare before 1955), these ‘lost’ adaptations have received little scholarly attention.

  • A Short History Of
    Formerly the Actors’ Orphanage Fund & the Actors’ Charitable Trust, TACT. A sketch of ACT’s history th to mark our 125 birthday by Robert Ashby, executive director Mrs Kittie Carson, wife of the editor of the Stage newspaper, became increasingly concerned about the welfare of actors and others connected with the theatre, particularly women and children. She felt that provision by other charities and friendly societies was inadequate; she disliked the requirement of several for one to be a member in order to benefit, that many had age restrictions, and that all were run by men. Mrs Carson’s first move in November 1891 was to found the Theatrical Ladies’ Guild (today The Theatrical Guild). Its purpose was quite simply to provide clothing, whether committee members’ cast-offs, donations from supporters, or items sewn and tailored by the Guild’s members themselves. Mrs Carson’s reasoning was that actresses who constantly travelled and who struggled to make ends meet, had no time to sew, and unemployed actresses certainly could not afford new clothes. Her new charity became closely linked with the Ladies’ Needlework Guild, and committee meetings seemed intertwined with ‘sewing bees’. Mrs Carson’s husband, Charles, alerted readers of the Stage to the need for help. The response from readers reinforced Mrs Carson’s sense of urgency in helping the profession’s children. Care of the young “would add solidity and prestige to the drama and its exponents”. Although the Actors’ Benevolent Fund had been asked repeatedly to take on responsibility for the children since 1888, it had been unwilling, already having so many incapacitated adult actors to support.

  • Notes and References
    Notes and References CHAPTER 1 To provide an intellectual and cultural framework for examining Carol Reed's films, a history of the British cinema from its origins through to the Second World War is offered in this chapter. Although Reed began directing in 1935, 1939 seemed a tidier, more logical cut-off point for the survey. All the information in the chapter is synthesized from several excellent works on the subject: Roy Armes's A Critical History of the British Cinema, Ernest Betts' The Film Business, Ivan Butler's Cinema in Britain, Denis Gifford's British Film Catalogue, Rachel Low's History of the British Film, and George Perry's The Great British Picture Show.
