  • Ronald Davis Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts
    Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts in America Southern Methodist University The Southern Methodist University Oral History Program was begun in 1972 and is part of the University’s DeGolyer Institute for American Studies. The goal is to gather primary source material for future writers and cultural historians on all branches of the performing arts- opera, ballet, the concert stage, theatre, films, radio, television, burlesque, vaudeville, popular music, jazz, the circus, and miscellaneous amateur and local productions. The Collection is particularly strong, however, in the areas of motion pictures and popular music and includes interviews with celebrated performers as well as a wide variety of behind-the-scenes personnel, several of whom are now deceased. Most interviews are biographical in nature although some are focused exclusively on a single topic of historical importance. The Program aims at balancing national developments with examples from local history. Interviews with members of the Dallas Little Theatre, therefore, serve to illustrate a nation-wide movement, while film exhibition across the country is exemplified by the Interstate Theater Circuit of Texas. The interviews have all been conducted by trained historians, who attempt to view artistic achievements against a broad social and cultural backdrop. Many of the persons interviewed, because of educational limitations or various extenuating circumstances, would never write down their experiences, and therefore valuable information on our nation’s cultural heritage would be lost if it were not for the S.M.U. Oral History Program. Interviewees are selected on the strength of (1) their contribution to the performing arts in America, (2) their unique position in a given art form, and (3) availability.

  • An Overview of the Working Classes in British Feature Film from the 1960S to the 1980S: from Class Consciousness to Marginalization
    An Overview of the Working Classes in British Feature Film from the 1960s to the 1980s: From Class Consciousness to Marginalization Stephen C. Shafer University of Illinois Abstract The portrayal of the working classes has always been an element of British popular film from the comic music hall stereotypes in the era of Gracie Fields and George Formby in the 1930s to the more gritty realism of the “Angry Young Man” films that emerged in the 1950s and 1960s. Curiously, in the last thirty years, the portrayal of the working classes in popular film has become somewhat less sharply drawn and more indistinct. In an odd way, these changes may parallel criticisms directed toward politicians about a declining sense of working-class unity and purpose in the wake of the Margaret Thatcher and post-Thatcher eras. When noted English film director and commentator Lindsay Anderson was asked to contribute an overview article on the British cinema for the 1984 edi- tion of the International Film Guide, he ruefully observed that from the per- spective of 1983 and, indeed, for most of its history, “British Cinema [has been] . a defeated rather than a triumphant cause.”1 Referring to the perennial fi- nancial crises and the smothering effect of Hollywood’s competition and influ- ence, Anderson lamented the inability of British films to find a consistent na- tional film tradition, adding that “the British Cinema has reflected only too clearly a nation lacking in energy and the valuable kind of pride . which cher- ishes its own traditions.”2 In particular, Anderson observed that when, on occa- sion, the British film industry had attempted to address the interests and needs of its working classes, the “aims” of the film-makers “were not supported .

  • Remembering NOEL COWARD
    Remembering NOEL COWARD Friends of the USC Libraries University of South California Program Participants Hal Kanter, Program Host Mary Martin Hermione Baddeley Murray Matheson Jeremy Brett Patricia Morison Ron Rusmann Graham Payn Moira Lister Lynn Redgrave Mary McCarty Roddy McDowall Leonard Spigelgass Marti Stevens USC Chamber Singers Jack Latimer and Harper MacKay, pianists Remembering NOEL COWARD Following dinner Stanley Musgrove, President of the Friends of the USC Libraries, introduced Trustees and other University dignitaries, including USC President John R. Hubbard. Dr. Hubbard, after presenting a silver bowl to Alvista Perkins in recognition of her outstanding service to the University, introduced Master of Ceremonies, Hal Kanter. Hal Kanter: My plan is to introduce some enchanting people who remember Noel Coward and who have graciously consented to share some of their memories with us. It was never my personal good luck to meet the man himself, but, like anyone who ever fell under the spell of magic he cast with his work, I remember Noel Coward, too. I remember him from my boyhood in Savannah, Georgia, where my parents introduced his published work in our home and I became his fan long before I could correctly pronounce his name. Years later, we moved from the Deep South - to the shallow North. (Laughter) And there, the fancy Yankees I ran into smirked when I said, Noel Coward. They pronounced it "Nul Cahd." (Laughter) But Coward or Cahd, the genius of the artist was that he could hold hostage the attention and the admiration of a sophisticated theater audience of British nobility, or a Park Avenue poseur, or a Georgia Cracker like me.
