THE PROFESSIONAL ENTERTAINER’S GUIDE, MENTORAKD FRIEND THIS ISSUE CONTAINS 26 PER CENT ADVERTISING AND 74 PER CENT READING MATTER imm EXPLODE SOME TNT. WAKE 'EM UP What if the loan should fail? Of course such a thing is unthinkable, but at this writing two-thirds of the time to be devoted to the drive has elapsed and but a third of the subscriptions secured. So the showing is very disappointing. Each day since the beginning of the campai^ the average of the takings for the remaining days necessary for the loan’s success has increased until now it is so huge that it seems insurmountable. There is no mistaking what this means. Either the loan will not be taken or the larger part, the great bulk of it in fact, will be taken en bloc—an undigested mass—on the last day of the drive by the banks. That would mean that the loan had failed. No other interpretation could be put upon it. The people of this country, in that event, would not have taken it. After they had been begged, urged and pleaded with as never before! The great opportunity had been pointed out to them so clearly, so repeatedly and so'vividly that they must have realized every one of its glowing possibilities. Just a little added economy and self-sacrifice had been asked of them, and they reniged and weakened. There are more than thirty million bank depositors and the deposits average over $700 each, so they had the money andi still held back. Are we a nation of swankers? Are we a nation of quitters? If the loan fails and early on October 20 the cables begin transmitting the news to our boys over there, what then? What will our Allies think? And the Huns! Consider the wild, delirious joy that will sweep the land of the baby-killers, nurse-slayers and hospital and church destroyers! ' The loan must not fail. It must be oversubscribed. Go at them harder, oh, ye valiant boosters. Shame them! Whip them with scornful, biting invective! Every person who can, yet does not, subscribe to this loan is a dog—a disloyal, soulless cur! Make them understand it. Sting them with the knowledge—the smug, complacent canaille! Touch off some verbal TNT. among them. Compel them to realize the situation. America must not now be discredited among the nations. Do not mince words. Fling it at them. The loan should have been oversubscribed on the first day of the drive. They could easily have accom¬ plished it. This is your warrant for the rough stuph and it is ample. lllllillllt util 11 lilt 1111 ill ■ 11 Xlie Billboard OCTOBER Id, 191t WANTED AT LIBERTY FOR NEW For wlntpr'* rniatmant Troup* or locate.

Then fill in theansweronyouranswerdocument. from Jake Drake, Teacher’s Pet by Andrew Clements 1 When I was in third grade, we got five new computers in our classroom. Mrs. Snavin was my third-grade teacher, and she acted like computers were scary, especially the new ones. She always needed to look at a how-to book and the computer at the same time. Even then, she got mixed up a lot. Then she had to call Mrs. Reed, the librarian, to come and show her what to do. 2 So it was a Monday morning in May, and Mrs. Snavin was sitting in front of a new computer at the back of the room. She was confused about a program we were supposed to use for a math project. My desk was near the computers, and I was watching her. 3 Mrs. Snavin looked at the screen, and then she looked at this book, and then back at the screen again. Then she shook her head and let out this big sigh. I could tell she was almost ready to call Mrs. Reed. 4 I’ve always liked computers, and I know how to do some stuff with them. Like turn them on and open programs, play games and type, make drawings, and build Web pages—things like that.

  • Inventory of American Sheet Music (1844-1949)
    University of Dubuque / Charles C. Myers Library INVENTORY OF AMERICAN SHEET MUSIC (1844 – 1949) May 17, 2004 Introduction The Charles C. Myers Library at the University of Dubuque has a collection of 573 pieces of American sheet music (of which 17 are incomplete) housed in Special Collections and stored in acid free folders and boxes. The collection is organized in three categories: African American Music, Military Songs, and Popular Songs. There is also a bound volume of sheet music and a set of The Etude Music Magazine (32 items from 1932-1945). The African American music, consisting of 28 pieces, includes a number of selections from black minstrel shows such as “Richards and Pringle’s Famous Georgia Minstrels Songster and Musical Album” and “Lovin’ Sam (The Sheik of Alabami)”. There are also pieces of Dixieland and plantation music including “The Cotton Field Dance” and “Massa’s in the Cold Ground”. There are a few pieces of Jazz music and one Negro lullaby. The group of Military Songs contains 148 pieces of music, particularly songs from World War I and World War II. Different branches of the military are represented with such pieces as “The Army Air Corps”, “Bell Bottom Trousers”, and “G. I. Jive”. A few of the delightful titles in the Military Songs group include, “Belgium Dry Your Tears”, “Don’t Forget the Salvation Army (My Doughnut Girl)”, “General Pershing Will Cross the Rhine (Just Like Washington Crossed the Delaware)”, and “Hello Central! Give Me No Man’s Land”. There are also well known titles including “I’ll Be Home For Christmas (If Only In my Dreams)”.

  • Members of Parliament Disqualified Since 1900 This Document Provides Information About Members of Parliament Who Have Been Disqu
    Members of Parliament Disqualified since 1900 This document provides information about Members of Parliament who have been disqualified since 1900. It is impossible to provide an entirely exhaustive list, as in many cases, the disqualification of a Member is not directly recorded in the Journal. For example, in the case of Members being appointed 5 to an office of profit under the Crown, it has only recently become practice to record the appointment of a Member to such an office in the Journal. Prior to this, disqualification can only be inferred from the writ moved for the resulting by-election. It is possible that in some circumstances, an election could have occurred before the writ was moved, in which case there would be no record from which to infer the disqualification, however this is likely to have been a rare occurrence. This list is based on 10 the writs issued following disqualification and the reason given, such as appointments to an office of profit under the Crown; appointments to judicial office; election court rulings and expulsion. Appointment of a Member to an office of profit under the Crown in the Chiltern Hundreds or the Manor of Northstead is a device used to allow Members to resign their seats, as it is not possible to simply resign as a Member of Parliament, once elected. This is by far the most common means of 15 disqualification. There are a number of Members disqualified in the early part of the twentieth century for taking up Ministerial Office. Until the passage of the Re-Election of Ministers Act 1919, Members appointed to Ministerial Offices were disqualified and had to seek re-election.

  • Ruth Prawer Jhabvala's Adapted Screenplays
    Absorbing the Worlds of Others: Ruth Prawer Jhabvala’s Adapted Screenplays By Laura Fryer Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of a PhD degree at De Montfort University, Leicester. Funded by Midlands 3 Cities and the Arts and Humanities Research Council. June 2020 i Abstract Despite being a prolific and well-decorated adapter and screenwriter, the screenplays of Ruth Prawer Jhabvala are largely overlooked in adaptation studies. This is likely, in part, because her life and career are characterised by the paradox of being an outsider on the inside: whether that be as a European writing in and about India, as a novelist in film or as a woman in industry. The aims of this thesis are threefold: to explore the reasons behind her neglect in criticism, to uncover her contributions to the film adaptations she worked on and to draw together the fields of screenwriting and adaptation studies. Surveying both existing academic studies in film history, screenwriting and adaptation in Chapter 1 -- as well as publicity materials in Chapter 2 -- reveals that screenwriting in general is on the periphery of considerations of film authorship. In Chapter 2, I employ Sandra Gilbert’s and Susan Gubar’s notions of ‘the madwoman in the attic’ and ‘the angel in the house’ to portrayals of screenwriters, arguing that Jhabvala purposely cultivates an impression of herself as the latter -- a submissive screenwriter, of no threat to patriarchal or directorial power -- to protect herself from any negative attention as the former. However, the archival materials examined in Chapter 3 which include screenplay drafts, reveal her to have made significant contributions to problem-solving, characterisation and tone.
