Many events are held during the weekend to remember the lifetime of Curwood. We host a saga writing contest inviting school age children to explain their version of conservation. The area around the castle also known as Curwoods writing studio plays center stage to the arts and crafts area, and raft race along the river. It is my honor to invite you to Owosso and to our festival. The festival is a combined effort of many great minds wanting to make our community a better place to visit and a great place to call home. We have something for all interests and all ages, from the two parades, to the carnival rides to the entertainment tent. You will see some newer versions of some old favorites this year like the Mr. Owosso Contest and the duck race. I would like to thank the city of Owosso, our Board of Directors and our volunteers for putting together our 42nd Annual festival in what has become a proud tradition that has stood the test of time and evolved to become one of the premier events in our community.

Nathan is the son of Dr. Sean Malone and his wife Kelli of Flushing. A 2013 OHS graduate, Kailey Grubb, currently attending Wayne State University, has been selected as this year’s Curwood Postcard winner. Kelly will be finishing her master’s degree in social work in May 2019. The original button was designed by Larry Fronratn and was used from 1975-1984 as a giveaway for participant’s in the children events. It wasn’t until 1985 that an official souvenir button contest was created. The contest winner that year was Mike Crawford. In 1987 the print design was added to the contest to be used as a sou- venir postcard and the honors that year went to Tim Arvoy. The Curwood Button & Postcard Committee would like to thank Advanced Drainage Systems and Cook Family Foundation for sponsoring this wonderful opportunity for our area youth. Both Nathan & Kailey will have an opportunity to ride in the Heritage Parade on Saturday, June 8, beginning at 2 p.m. The souvenir button and postcard will be available for sale Curwood weekend at the Curwood office.

In 1918 she started Anita Stewart Productions, in partnership with Louis B. Mayer, and began to produce her own feature films for First National Exhibitors Circuit. Anita Stewart Productions produced seventeen feature films between 1918 and 1922. After concluding her association with Mayer, Stewart accepted an offer from William Randolph Hearst to appear in Cosmopolitan Productions. She continued to make films with Fox, Columbia, and lesser studios through the end of the silent era, appearing in her last feature in 1938. Born Anna Marie Stewart in Brooklyn in 1895, she was the middle of three siblings. Her older sister Lucille Lee and younger brother George also became film actors. Lucille Lee Stewart was the first to work in films, starting with the Biograph Company in 1910, and shortly thereafter moving to the Vitagraph Company, where she met and married director Ralph Ince, younger brother of Thomas Ince. Anna Marie Stewart was a high school student who had done a little modeling when Ralph Ince telephoned to say he needed some extra juveniles for a film. After her start in early 1911, sixteen-year-old Anna quickly became a Vitagraph regular, appearing in vehicles that featured the “Vitagraph Girl,” lead actress Florence Turner.

What drove Knoblock to the Sussex seaside town after the expo- sure of Los Angeles is not entirely clear, but the impulse to retreat to a world of quintessential Englishness has often appeared to be the rai- son d’être for many British writers and directors of the era who were quickly appalled by the brash commercialism of the Hollywood film industry. In Knoblock’s case, it was an even more fascinating compunc- tion that took hold of him because he was American born (originally Edward Knoblauch of German parents in New York in 1874), but ended up residing in Britain for much of his life.

Crossing America’s Borders: Chinese Immigrants in the Southwesterns of the 1920s and 1930s Philippa Gates Today, when we think of the film Western, we think of a genre dominated by Anglo-American heroes conquering the various struggles and obstacles that the nineteenth-century frontier presented to settlers and gunslingers alike—from the daunting terrain and inclement environment of deserts, mountains, and plains to the violent opposition posed by cattle ranchers and Native Americans. What we tend to forget, most likely because the most famous Westerns of the last seventy-five years also forgot, is that Chinese immigrants played an important role in that frontier history. As Edward Buscombe confirms, “[g]iven the importance of their contribution, particularly to the construction of the Central Pacific railroad, the Chinese are under-represented in the Western” (86).

  • Cree Vocabulary in the Works of James Oliver Curwood
    Cree Vocabulary in the Works of James Oliver Curwood WILLIAM COWAN Carleton University James Oliver Curwood was an American novelist who was born in Owosso, Michigan1 in 1878, and who died there in 1927, at the relatively young age of 49. Between 1908 and 1927, he published 26 popular novels, most of them set in the Canadian north, in addition to two volumes of short stories and a book on the Great Lakes. Posthumously there were published three more novels, a collection of short stories, and two different versions of an autobiography, making a total of 34 published books. In a number of these novels and short stories, he used Cree words and expressions to give a literary flavour to the narrative and to the dialogue. It is the purpose of this communication to examine these Cree examples in an attempt to determine how well Curwood knew the language, and what sources, if any, he used for his examples. Curwood's novels and stories are in the popular mode. In almost all of them, the hero is a lone adventurer who meets, generally under stressfull circumstances and frequently out in the middle of the great northern forest, a gloriously beautiful heroine who is on a mysterious mission of some sort. These heroines generally have, as their crowning beauty, great masses of golden hair, flowing, when loosened, in rippling folds down to their hips, and displayed in full glory when in flight or fighting for their virtue, which is one of their most frequent activities.2 Accompanying this hero and heroine, there is almost always a villain, who is generally a huge, barrel-shaped, heavily bearded monster whose only goal in life is to rape the heroine.

  • Poverty Row Films of the 1930S by Robert J Read Department of Art History and Communication Studies
    A Squalid-Looking Place: Poverty Row Films of the 1930s by Robert J Read Department of Art History and Communication Studies McGill University, Montreal August 2010 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy All rights reserved. This work may not be reproduced in whole or in part, by photocopy or by other means, without permission of the author. Robert J Read, 2010. ii Abstract Film scholarship has generally assumed that the low-budget independent film studios, commonly known as Poverty Row, originated in the early sound-era to take advantage of the growing popularity of double feature exhibition programs. However, the emergence of the independent Poverty Row studios of the 1930s was actually the result of a complex interplay between the emerging Hollywood studios and independent film production during the late 1910s and 1920s. As the Hollywood studios expanded their production, as well as their distribution networks and exhibition circuits, the independent producers that remained outside of the studio system became increasingly marginalized and cut-off from the most profitable aspects of film exhibition. By the late 1920s, non-Hollywood independent film production became reduced to the making of low-budget action films (westerns, adventure films and serials) for the small profit, suburban neighbourhood and small town markets. With the economic hardships of the Depression, the dominant Hollywood studios were forced to cut-back on their lower budgeted films, thus inadvertently allowing the independent production companies now referred to in the trade press as Poverty Row to expand their film practice.

  • When Mounties Were Modern Kitsch: the Serial Seductions of Renfrew of the Mounted Candida Rifkind
    When Mounties were Modern Kitsch: The Serial Seductions of Renfrew of the Mounted Candida Rifkind n the first half of the twentieth century, and perhaps still today, Ione of Canada’s most recognizable cultural exports was the Mountie, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (rcmp) officer, wearing the signature red coat of his dress uniform and sitting astride his trusty steed. From its founding as the North West Mounted Police (nwmp) in 1873, to its 1920 re-formation as the rcmp, and through to the present, the Canadian federal police force has assumed in literary and popular culture the sym- bolic weight of national icon and the image has circulated widely, across media and around the world. Starting with the late nineteenth-century colonial press and continuing through the turn-of-the-century fiction market, interwar radio and film, and postwar television and commod- ity culture, the Mountie has appeared, both earnestly and satirically, at the centre of national mythologies about Canadian liberal democracy. At his most typical, the Mountie is an officer of the law who is part of a rational organization but also a refined gentleman and a unique, special individual. He represents a physically, intellectually, and morally upright and seductive, yet civilized, male hero distinct from the wilder masculini- ties of American popular culture heroes. Indeed, the fictional Mountie is at the centre of some persistent English-Canadian nationalist mytholo- ESC 37.3–4 (September/December 2011): 123–146 gies, notably that the West was conquered by a central authority whose “decency and paternalism” is also registered in Canada’s “careful and fair treatment of Aboriginal peoples, particularly in comparison with the treat- Candida Rifkind is ment meted out by the law and order forces of the United States” (Dawson an Associate Professor 25).
