  • Raoul Walsh to Attend Opening of Retrospective Tribute at Museum
    The Museum of Modern Art jl west 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019 Tel. 956-6100 Cable: Modernart NO. 34 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE RAOUL WALSH TO ATTEND OPENING OF RETROSPECTIVE TRIBUTE AT MUSEUM Raoul Walsh, 87-year-old film director whose career in motion pictures spanned more than five decades, will come to New York for the opening of a three-month retrospective of his films beginning Thursday, April 18, at The Museum of Modern Art. In a rare public appearance Mr. Walsh will attend the 8 pm screening of "Gentleman Jim," his 1942 film in which Errol Flynn portrays the boxing champion James J. Corbett. One of the giants of American filmdom, Walsh has worked in all genres — Westerns, gangster films, war pictures, adventure films, musicals — and with many of Hollywood's greatest stars — Victor McLaglen, Gloria Swanson, Douglas Fair­ banks, Mae West, James Cagney, Humphrey Bogart, Marlene Dietrich and Edward G. Robinson, to name just a few. It is ultimately as a director of action pictures that Walsh is best known and a growing body of critical opinion places him in the front rank with directors like Ford, Hawks, Curtiz and Wellman. Richard Schickel has called him "one of the best action directors...we've ever had" and British film critic Julian Fox has written: "Raoul Walsh, more than any other legendary figure from Hollywood's golden past, has truly lived up to the early cinema's reputation for 'action all the way'...." Walsh's penchant for action is not surprising considering he began his career more than 60 years ago as a stunt-rider in early "westerns" filmed in the New Jersey hills.

  • Pioneer Film Director Honored / HENRY KING
    The Museum of Modern Art 'iWest 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019 Tel. 956-6100 Cable: Modemart NO. 57 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE PIONEER FILM DIRECTOR HONORED SEVEN WEEK RETROSPECTIVE FOR HENRY KING CO-SPONSORED BY MUSEUM AND DIRECTORS GUILD OF AMERICA "...the most underpublicized filmmaker in Hollywood. This tall, lean, handsome, urbane, but unflamboyant model of a corporation president makes film hits so easily, so efficiently, and so calmly that he is not news in a community of blaring trumpets, crashing cymbals and screaming egos." -Frank Capra Henry King, one of the founding fathers of American film, who began his career early in the century, remains today one of the legendary figures in Hollywood, and though he preserves his privacy, his films such as "The Song of Bernadette," "Twelve O'clock High" and "The Gunfighter" speak for themselves, and these and other major works will be part of a seven week retrospective given in King's honor by New York's Museum of Modern Art in association with the Directors Guild of America. The Virginia-born director, who has specialized, like D.W. Griffith and John Ford, in Americana themes since his first classic, "Tol'able David," and later with "State Fair", "In Old Chicago," "Jesse James" and "Alexander's Ragtime Band," will make a trip from the West Coast to New York to participate in the opening of this program. On June 29 and 30, he will address the Museum audiences, although he seldom makes public appearances. While he contributed to Hollywood's worldwide reputation, King, who recognized such early superstars as Richard Barthelmess, Ronald Colman and Gary Cooper and gave them their first leading roles on the screen, has managed to retain his relative anonymity in an ostentatious environment.

  • Films Saved from Twentieth Century
    Hf NO. 41 The Museum of Modern Art FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 11 West 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019 Tel. 955-6100 Cable: Modemart TOM MIX, CLARA BOW, AND OTHER EARLY STARS ON MUSEUM SCREEN "Riders of the Purple Sage" and "Just Tony," two early silent films of Tom Mix, and "Call Her Savage," starring Clara Bow, the early sex siren, will be part of a special series of "rescued" films to be shown at The Museum of Modern Art. The program, starting April 10, 1971, consists of Twentieth Century-Fox films preserved by the Museum, which have not been seen here since their original release. "Riders of the Purple Sage," a 1925 Zane Grey romance, was made by Fox four times between 1914 and 1941. Of the Tom Mix version Eileen Bowser, Associate Curator in charge of the Museum's Film Archive, points out "the camera is permitted to get closer than usual to the actor: he avoided close-ups as a rule, not only to show off to the full his splendid riding and roping skills, but also because he made little pretense of being a dramatic actor." Mix, according to Mrs. Bowser, outranked all other cowboy stars in popularity. He made his debut on film in 1919, but prior to that time he had been a star of touring Wild West shows, and he was billed as "Tom Mix Ex-U. S. Marshall, Expert Roper and Bronco Buster." The second picture starring Mix, "Just Tony," is of 1922 vintage. Named after the celebrated horse Mix rode,which plays an important role in the story, it was made on location in Nevada in the Valley of the Eagles.
