"¿ Se la han presentado?", "Yo he tenidó el inmenso de placer hablar con ella y tengo que confesar que es maravillosa".

Intrigada y curiosa de saber la vida y milagros de la nueva estrella de Fox, fuí a verla a su camerino a los pocos días de su llegada a la meca de la ci nematografía. Cuando llegué al estudio Elissa se en contraba en el "set" abrazada a Charles Farrell: Como ustedes habrán comprendido esto sucedía por que se estaba rodando una escena de "Cuerpo y Al ma".

  • The Influence of the Exposition Des Arts Décoratifs Et Industriels Moderne, Paris 1925 on Hollywood Films
    The Influence of The Exposition des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Moderne, Paris 1925 on Hollywood Films of the Late 1920s and 30s by Ann Rishell A Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science Approved June 2014 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: Beverly Brandt, Chair Diane Bender Gray Sweeney ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY August 2014 ABSTRACT Abstract The Influence of The Exposition des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes, Paris 1925, on Hollywood films of the late 1920s and 30s Ann Snyder Rishell Arizona State University The author explores the influences on the interiors of Hollywood films of the late 1920s and 30s. The Exposition des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes, Paris 1925 is examined in historical context and its influence on design trends internationally. The Hollywood film industry is examined, in general, and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and its longtime art director, Cedric Gibbons, in particular. Eight MGM films are discussed and their interiors analyzed for related influence from the 1925 Paris Exposition. The thesis makes a case for the influence of the 1925 Paris Exposition on Cedric Gibbons and the interiors of the MGM films of the late 1920s and 30s. i DEDICATION To my wonderful husband, Mike Rishell, who believed and encouraged me the whole long way. And to my creative daughter, Juliette Sabine, who amazes me every day. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to acknowledge all the people who have helped me through the thesis process. My brother-in-law, Mike Gebert, who, through late night talks after all the kids were put to bed helped form the germ of an idea that became this thesis.

  • Gartenbau-Kino" Und Weitere Informationen Über Einige Interessante Kinos Und Filmpremieren in Wien Zu Dieser Zeit
    Wiens altes "Gartenbau-Kino" und weitere Informationen über einige interessante Kinos und Filmpremieren in Wien zu dieser Zeit Das im Baustil der italienischen Renaissance von dem Architekt August Weber (1836 –1903) für die kaiserlich-königliche Gartenbaugesellschaft errichtete "Palais der Gartenbaugesellschaft" am Wiener Parkring 12 – damals noch "Kaiser-Wilhelm-Ring" genannt. Das Palais wurde am 14. Dezember 1864 unter Anwesenheit von Kaiser Franz Joseph I. eingeweiht. Im Hintergrund sieht man das hochgelegene Palais "Coburg" (heute eine vor- nehme Residenz), links dahinter der Turm der Domkirche St. Stephan. In das Hauptgebäude (Mitteltrakt) der ehemaligen Blumensäle des Gartenbau-Palais wurde später das erste "Gartenbau-Kino" eingebaut. Es eröffnete am 10.10.1919 und existierte bis 1960. Ein Artikel aus "Kleine Volks-Zeitung" vom Sonntag, den 02.08.1942: In den Blumensälen ist es einst hoch hergegangen. "Die Gartenbau" auf dem Parkring, eine Stätte ernster Arbeit und froher Lustbarkeit. Mit der Bezeichnung "Gartenbau" verbinden die Wiener von heute in erster Linie den Begriff des weiten Gebäudekomplexes auf dem Parkring. Seine Geschäftsläden, Anlagen und selbst die Keller sind Kapitel einer mehr als hundertjährigen Geschichte des einst vor dem Stadtwall gelegenen Geländes, das man durch das Karolinentor erreichte. Als 1862 dieses Tor zu demolieren begonnen worden war, konnte die Gartenbaugesellschaft ihren Plan verwirklichen und auf den ihr bereits ein Jahr vorher von Kaiser Franz Joseph I. geschenkten Gründen, die teils auf der Bastei, teils im Stadtgraben und auf dem angrenzenden Glacis lagen, eine "Blumenausstellungshalle" [Anm.: das Palais der Gartenbaugesellschaft, be- stehend aus 3 Sälen (den sog. Blumensälen) – dem linken und rechten Flügel und dem Mitteltrakt] und einen damit in Verbindung zu bringenden "öffentlichen Garten" errichten.

Covering the first five years of sound movies, the retrospective, which is the first of its kind, includes such classic film musicals as "Whoopee," starring Eddie Cantor, Al Jolson in "The Jazz Singer," the four Marx Brothers in "The Cocoanuts" and "Rio Rita," starring Bebe Daniels and John Boles, with the famous comedy team Bert Wheeler and Robert Wooley. The music for these films, many of them originally Broadway plays, was provided by Irving Berlin, Sigmund Romberg, De Sylva, Brown and Henderson, Jerome Kern and George Gershwin among other famous composers. This unique series was conceived and assembled by'Miles Kreuger, theatre and film historian, author of an 800 page volume "The American Musical Film," to be published by E. P. Dutton this fall. Mr. Kreuger, who has one of the world' s largest research collections on American musical plays and films, will be present on the opening night to discuss the growth of this indigenous type of American film art "from the technical experimentation of ' The Jazz Singer' in 1927 to the exquisite sophistication and flamboyant artistry of Rouben Mamoulian' s ' Love Me Tonight,' produced only five years later." Burrowing into film vaults from Hollywood to Europe, the Museum has unearthed an original Technicolor print of Marilyn Miller in "Sally," and from Czechoslovakia has come the all-Technicolor print of Sam Goldwyn' s "Whoopee," featuring almost all the principals of the Flo Ziegfeld stage production.
