Ithas beenmy pleasure to serveAMICA for some five years as its 14th President. During that time we have, as an organization, experienced most ofthe ups and downs that any family, organization or business might expect duringthe course ofits life. Itis mygood fortune to have worked and corresponded with many ofyou who share a common beliefin the viability ofthe organization. I leave behind an organization which is strong -- both in its spirit and in its economic and membership base. The ongoing strength in many ways relies on those who are elected to serVe as its leaders, but even more importantly in the ability ofits individual members to contribute in some way to the organization's growth. For some that means taking an active part in the various chapter activities, for others it means contributing articles of interest for publication. Butfor everyone, it means talking aboutAMICA, its aims and its goals with those in yourfamily, your circle offriends, your business, your community, etc. We must never stop "selling" the organization and its goals to new audiences. Keep in tune Ron Connor, President PUBLISHER'S NOTE ... I have spent a good deal of time in past weeks overseeing the electronic data transfer and formatting for the recently completed AMICA Membership Directory. Never before have I taken the time to look carefully at the diversity of our members' backgrounds and careers. It is not, therefore, difficult to see first the tremendous wealth of human resources that we have not yet tapped to promote the activities and goals ofAMICA. Secondly, within the context ofour shared interest in roll-operated musical interests, it could be assumed that their is also a broad spread of interest between the dozens ofinstrument types as well as the music they produce.

    The American Century Theater presents Audience Guide Edited by Jack MarshallNovember 5–27 Rosslyn Spectrum Theater you can afford to seesee———— ppplaysplays you can’t afford to miss! About The American Century Theater The American Century Theater was founded in 1994. We are a professional company dedicated to presenting great, important, but overlooked American plays of the twentieth century . what Henry Luce called “the American Century.” The company’s mission is one of rediscovery, enlightenment, and perspective, not nostalgia or preservation. Americans must not lose the extraordinary vision and wisdom of past playwrights, nor can we afford to surrender our moorings to our shared cultural heritage. Our mission is also driven by a conviction that communities need theater, and theater needs audiences. To those ends, this company is committed to producing plays that challenge and move all Americans, of all ages, origins and points of view. In particular, we strive to create theatrical experiences that entire families can watch, enjoy, and discuss long afterward. These audience guides are part of our effort to enhance the appreciation of these works, so rich in history, content, and grist for debate. The American Century Theater is a 501(c)(3) professional nonprofit theater company dedicated to producing significant 20th Century American plays and musicals at risk of being forgotten. The American Century Theater is supported in part by Arlington County through the Cultural Affairs Division of the Department of Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Resources and the Arlington Commission for the Arts. This arts event is made possible in part by the Virginia Commission on the Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts, as well as by many generous donors.

    The Movies and Music of the 1930S the Depression Was a Tough Time for Families and Kids Since Money Was Scarce

    The Movies and Music of the 1930s The depression was a tough time for families and kids since money was scarce. Even though this was the case and there were no television sets to watch, people managed by swimming in the canals, dancing at the Women’s Club for 25 cents, or going to the movies in Glendale. Here are the top movies that came out during the ’30s as well as the music that came out during this period. 1930 - Top Movies - Tom Sawyer, Top Hat, Animal Crackers, and Hell’s Angels Top Music “Happy Days Are Here Again” (Ben Selvin), “These Little Words” (Duke Ellington), “On the Sunny Side of the Street” (Ted Lewis and his Orchestra) 1931 – Top Movies – Frankenstein, City Lights, Mata Hari, Cimarron - Top Music - “Minnie the Moocher” (Cab Calloway), “Dream a Little Dream of Me” (Wayne King), “Goodnight Sweetheart” (Bing Crosby) 1932 - Top Movies – Tarzan the Ape Man, Trouble in Paradise, The Old Dark House. - Top Music – “All of Me” (Louis Armstrong), “It Don’t Mean a Thing” (Duke Ellington), “Night and Day” (Fred Astaire and Leo Raisman) 1933 - Top Movies – King Kong, 42ndStreet, Dinner at Eight, Sons of the Desert - Top Music – “Stormy Weather” (Ethel Waters), “Sophisticated Lady” (Duke Ellington) “We’re in the Money” (Dick Powell) 1934 - Top Movies – The Thin Man, Cleopatra, It Happened One Night - Top Music – “Moon Glow” (Benny Goodman), “Tumbling Tumbleweeds” (Paul Whitman), “Smoke Gets In Your Eyes” (Paul Whitman), “Cocktails for Two” (Duke Ellington) 1935 - Top Movies – Mutiny on the Bounty, Top Hat, Captain Blood, A Night At the Opera - Top Music – “On the Good Ship Lollipop” (Shirley Temple) “Cheek to Cheek” (Fred Astaire), “The Isle of Capri” (Ray Noble), “Lullaby of Broadway” (Blue Moon) 1936 - Top Movies – The Great Ziegfeld, Mr.

    Image of PR Practitioner in Movies and Television 1901-2011 1 The Image of the Public Relations Practitioner in Movies and Television 1901-2011 Joe Saltzman1 Professor of Journalism Director, The Image of the Journalist in Popular Culture (IJPC) A Project of the Norman Lear Center Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism University of Southern California Los Angeles, CA [email protected] Introduction In this article, we examine images of public relations practitioners in film and television appearing in more than 327 English-speaking films and television programs from 1901 to 2011.2 This is the largest study of its kind ever attempted and one of the first to include the image of the public relations practitioner in television programs. Many public relations practitioners believe the image of the publicist and the PR professional is one of the most negative in history. But this analysis indicates that the images of the PR practitioner are far more varied and even more positive than previously thought. Literature Review There have been previous studies on the image of the PR practitioner in film. They include Karen Miller’s landmark study in 1999 (which included film and print images),3 Larry Tavcar’s 1993 look at 17 films depicting public relations in the movies,4 Donn James Tilson’s brief look at public relations and Hollywood in 2003,5 and Carol Ames’ comprehensive follow-up to Miller’s study in 2010.6 In addition, Mordecai Lee studied images of the public relations practitioner in government and public administration, sampling 20 films from 1944 to 2000 in a 2001 study,7 and in a 2009 update8 added seven more films from 1996 to 2008.

    The Role of Hegemonic Masculinity and Hollywood in the New Korea

    University of Wollongong Research Online Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts 2016 The oler of hegemonic masculinity and Hollywood in the New Korea Richard Howson University of Wollongong, [email protected] Brian Yecies University of Wollongong, [email protected] Publication Details Howson, R. & Yecies, B. (2016). The or le of hegemonic masculinity and Hollywood in the New Korea. Masculinities and Social Change, 5 (1), 52-69. Research Online is the open access institutional repository for the University of Wollongong. For further information contact the UOW Library: [email protected] The oler of hegemonic masculinity and Hollywood in the New Korea Abstract We argue that during the 1940s Hollywood films had an important role to play in the creation of a postwar South Korean society based on the new global U.S. hegemony. The onnec ctions between political and economic change in South Korea and sociocultural factors have hitherto scarcely been explored and, in this context, we argue that one of the key socio-cultural mechanisms that supported and even drove social change in the immediate post-war period was the Korean film industry and its representation of masculinity. The groundbreaking work of Antonio Gramsci on hegemony is drawn on in particular, his understanding of the relationship between commonsense and good sense as well as Raewyn Connells concept of hegemonic masculinity. The character of Rick in the 1941 Hollywood classic Casablanca is used to illustrate the kind of hegemonic masculinity favoured by the U.S. Occupation authorities in moulding cultural and political attitudes in the new Korea.

    Songs of the Ziegfeld Follies

    SONGS OF THE ZIEGFELD FOLLIES DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University by Ann Ommen, B.M., M.A. The Ohio State University 2007 Dissertation Committee: Professor Graeme Boone, Adviser Approved by Professor Thomas Postlewait Professor Danielle Fosler-Lussier _________________________ Adviser Graduate Program in Music Copyright by Ann Ommen 2007 ABSTRACT Enormously popular in their own time, the Ziegfeld Follies have become an icon of American popular culture. Produced annually by Florenz Ziegfeld, Jr. between 1907 and 1931, these revues were and still are best-known for their lavish production numbers which brought unprecedented attention to members of the chorus. They have served as inspiration for generations of filmmakers, playwrights, and popular authors, but have only been studied by a small number of scholars, primarily those working in cultural studies. For the first time, this dissertation brings a musicological identity to the Follies by examining their songs. It addresses the legends surrounding certain songs so that their performance history can be better understood. It discusses representations of gender, race, and national identity in songs of the Follies, revealing the cultural beliefs Ziegfeld thought would be most acceptable to his largely white, middle-class audiences. It dissects comic song performances to show a specifically musical component to the humor of the Follies. Finally, it analyzes compositional techniques in the lyrics of Gene Buck and in the songs written by Irving Berlin for the Ziegfeld Follies of 1927 , the only Follies production to have been written by a single songwriter.
