Orson Welles on the Air: Radio Recordings and Scripts, 1938-1946 Orson Welles on the Air: Radio Recordings and Scripts, 1938-1946 “My big inventions were in radio and the theatre. Much more than in movies.” — Orson Welles “Seeing the original scripts of the Mercury Theatre on the Air programs and the disks that transcribed them was like gazing upon a Rosetta Stone of broadcast radio.” — Paul Heyer Indiana University proposes to digitize and preserve 324 original sound recordings and accompanying scripts of radio programs produced by Orson Welles and to present the digitized materials in a free web site with enhanced metadata and contextual essays by leading scholars of Welles’s radio work. Orson Welles was a major creative force in the American theatrical and media arts of the mid-twentieth century. Through his work as an actor, director, writer, and producer, he was responsible for some of the era’s most critically acclaimed innovations not just within a single medium, but in a body of work that spanned film, live theater, and radio. Through the series known as First Person Singular, Mercury Theatre on the Air, and Campbell Playhouse in turn, Welles is widely recognized as having raised the bar for radio drama, pioneering and honing narrative techniques that he would later carry over into his acclaimed film work. Among other things, he emphasized the value of narration—something at which he excelled—rejecting the notion that radio drama should simply involve broadcasting the kind of sounds someone might have heard while watching a stage play. One episode of the Mercury Theatre on the Air, “The War of the Worlds,” arguably became the most famous (or infamous) broadcast in history, thanks to the panic it’s alleged to have caused among listeners who mistook its dramatization of H. G. Wells’s story using the format of radio news for reports of an actual Martian invasion. Although Welles’s radio broadcasts of the 1930s are best known today, he remained active in the medium well into the following decade—during World War Two, for instance, he produced broadcasts in a variety of formats in support of the war effort. IU Orson Welles on the Air proposal - Narrative 1 The audio materials to be digitized and preserved are held in Indiana University’s Lilly Library, and consist of master, original recordings of numerous episodes of such canonical Welles series as Mercury Theatre on the Air, Campbell Playhouse, Ceiling Unlimited, Hello Americans, This Is My Best, and various incarnations of the Orson Welles Almanac, including a prospective eight-part series for the Eversharp Pen Company that was never broadcast. Other highlights include an irreverent spoof of Macbeth recorded privately during a rehearsal in April 1940; a broadcast made shortly after the attack on Pearl Harbor, during which Welles was interrupted by a government blackout notice; and the most complete known set of The Doorway to Life, a Peabody Award winning program about the challenges of raising children produced by William Robson and scripted by William Alland and Virginia Mullen—all close collaborators of Welles. Collectively, these discs constitute a unique audio record of the seminal broadcast work of Orson Welles and his Mercury Theatre. The project will also digitize related manuscript radio scripts in the collection, whose pages show evidence of Welles’ creative process in their dramatic deletions and seemingly last-minute rewrites. See Appendix A for sample images. Much of Welles’s success in radio was rooted in aural characteristics that can’t be conveyed very effectively in print: qualities of voice, subtleties of timing, layering of sound effects and music, and so forth. The ability of today’s scholars, students, and general public to understand and appreciate his contributions to radio thus hinges on them having access to audio recordings of the broadcasts themselves. The materials described above are held in the IU Lilly Library, as part of the Orson Welles manuscripts [1] and are described in the series Radio (scripts), Bound Radio Scripts, and Audio (recordings on disc). The Welles-related collections at the Lilly Library consist of more than 19,875 items relating to the life and work of Orson Welles, and are of great interest to students, scholars, and the general public. In the past three years ninety researchers have used the Welles manuscripts, with users coming from nineteen states (including twenty-one users from Indiana) and eleven countries, including IU Orson Welles on the Air proposal - Narrative 2 Australia, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, and the United Kingdom. Indiana University also hosted a series of events honoring Orson Welles in the spring of 2015. Orson Welles: A Centennial Celebration, Symposium and Exhibition was a multi-disciplinary series of events that included a major exhibition at the Lilly Library titled 100 Years of Orson Welles: Master of Stage, Sound, and Screen, a 12-program film screening series, and a symposium that included 2 keynote addresses and nearly 30 paper presentations attended by eighty-six registrants (44 from outside Indiana, 8 international). For some years critical attention neglected Welles’s radio work in favor of his other contributions, but that has changed in light of newer scholarship that places his broadcast accomplishments front and center, such as Paul Heyer’s The Medium and the Magician: Orson Welles, the Radio Years, 1934-1952, published in 2005. Work by scholars Neil Verma, Jacob Smith, and Darlene Sadlier has also addressed Welles’s radio production. (Appendix B includes a bibliography of this and other work based on the Welles collection.) Despite renewed interest in Welles’s radio innovation, the corpus of recordings available for study and enjoyment has remained incomplete and of dubious quality. A portion of the material we proposed to digitize is already available through other channels, including key Mercury Theatre and Campbell Playhouse broadcasts, which may be accessed via sites such as Archive.org. However, the quality of available recordings is uneven and often quite poor, apparently reflecting multiple generations of copying by amateur tape-traders. By contrast, the recordings in the Welles mss. at the Lilly Library are, in most cases, originals cut directly from the broadcasts as they aired. Moreover, many specific episodes found in this collection of series don’t appear to survive anywhere else. Of the Orson Welles Show of 1941-42, for example, Wikipedia states: “Nineteen broadcasts were produced; only eight shows have survived.” In fact, the Welles mss. contains fourteen episodes of that show, and many supposedly “lost” episodes of Ceiling Unlimited and Orson Welles Commentaries are found there as well. IU Orson Welles on the Air proposal - Narrative 3 Overall, the recordings in the Welles mss. are the most complete original source of audio for Welles’s radio work during the late 1930s and early-to-mid 1940s, with the highest extant sound quality. Welles radio scholar Neil Verma writes, “not only are the publicly available recordings of Welles’s works spotty, but they are often mislabeled and misattributed. … The problem is that, right now, only a smattering of Welles broadcasts exist in digital format, and these are poorly spread across a set of websites that provide little contextual information to help frame the material.” By making these materials widely accessible in their best available form and fully contextualized, we will enable scholars, teachers, students, and the interested public to experience Welles’s groundbreaking contributions to the radio field more comprehensively and more enchantingly than would otherwise be possible. LILLY LIBRARY, INDIANA UNIVERSITY LIBRARIES Since its founding in 1960, the Lilly Library has been a premier destination for scholars, students, and the interested public, providing open access to research-level collections in over fifty areas. Collection strengths include American and British literature, Latin Americana, children’s literature, mechanical puzzles, the history of radio, television, and film, and many other areas. Beginning with J.K. Lilly's gift of more than 20,000 books, 17,000 manuscripts, paintings and other objects, the Lilly Library's collection has grown to include more than 400,000 books and 7.5 million items in 2,633 manuscript collections. Holdings included major rare books such as the New Testament of the Gutenberg Bible, and Audubon's Birds of America, and important manuscript collections such as the papers of poet Sylvia Plath and novelist Kurt Vonnegut. Collections related to the history of radio include scripts for more than 800 BBC "Third Programme" broadcasts from the mid-1940s through the early 1970s. The Library also holds the papers of BBC pioneers Douglas Cleverdon, Lance Sieveking and D.G. Bridson, and radio scripts by the IU Orson Welles on the Air proposal - Narrative 4 American television writer John McGreevy. The Library continues to collect Orson Welles materials, with new acquisitions as recently as September 2015. The Lilly Library staff prides itself on making the collections available to users of all types. New manuscript collections are initially processed using MPLP guidelines (more product, less process) and a collection description and inventory is placed on our web site. This enables us to make collections appropriately available for use while awaiting more complete processing. Every year scholars and researchers come from around the campus and around the world to use the Lilly Library's extensive resources. Annually, the Library has about 50,000 visitors, conducts nearly 250 class sessions for IU students and other learners, hosts 50 other lectures and events, and curates three major exhibitions and numerous smaller displays. In online interactions each year, the Library has reference inquiries from a majority of the US states and multiple international sources and creates more than 10,000 high quality digital images in response to researcher requests. THE MEDIA DIGITIZATION AND PRESERVATION INITIATIVE (MDPI) IU President Michael McRobbie charged MDPI [2] with preserving and providing access to significant audio and video recordings on all IU campuses by the University’s Bicentennial in 2020.

  • The Dublin Gate Theatre Archive, 1928 - 1979
    Charles Deering McCormick Library of Special Collections Northwestern University Libraries Dublin Gate Theatre Archive The Dublin Gate Theatre Archive, 1928 - 1979 History: The Dublin Gate Theatre was founded by Hilton Edwards (1903-1982) and Micheál MacLiammóir (1899-1978), two Englishmen who had met touring in Ireland with Anew McMaster's acting company. Edwards was a singer and established Shakespearian actor, and MacLiammóir, actually born Alfred Michael Willmore, had been a noted child actor, then a graphic artist, student of Gaelic, and enthusiast of Celtic culture. Taking their company’s name from Peter Godfrey’s Gate Theatre Studio in London, the young actors' goal was to produce and re-interpret world drama in Dublin, classic and contemporary, providing a new kind of theatre in addition to the established Abbey and its purely Irish plays. Beginning in 1928 in the Peacock Theatre for two seasons, and then in the theatre of the eighteenth century Rotunda Buildings, the two founders, with Edwards as actor, producer and lighting expert, and MacLiammóir as star, costume and scenery designer, along with their supporting board of directors, gave Dublin, and other cities when touring, a long and eclectic list of plays. The Dublin Gate Theatre produced, with their imaginative and innovative style, over 400 different works from Sophocles, Shakespeare, Congreve, Chekhov, Ibsen, O’Neill, Wilde, Shaw, Yeats and many others. They also introduced plays from younger Irish playwrights such as Denis Johnston, Mary Manning, Maura Laverty, Brian Friel, Fr. Desmond Forristal and Micheál MacLiammóir himself. Until his death early in 1978, the year of the Gate’s 50th Anniversary, MacLiammóir wrote, as well as acted and designed for the Gate, plays, revues and three one-man shows, and translated and adapted those of other authors.

  • El Film-Ensayo JOSEP M
    El carácter poético del pensar se halla aún oculto. Heidegger 1. Las olvidadas raíces del film-ensayo JOSEP M. DOMÈNECH CATALÀ E 1 l término film-ensayo (Essai-film ) fue res- catado por Richard Wilson en una entrevista mantenida en 1987, para denominar el modo cinematográfico que, según él, caracterizó la última parte de la carrera El film-ensayo: de Orson Welles2. El mismo Welles lo había acuñado años antes para justificar la peculiar estructura de su película Fake (Fraude, 1973)3. No parece que el concep- to haya tenido mucho éxito, ni dentro ni fuera del campo de los estudios welle- sianos, a juzgar por su escasa aparición en los escritos sobre cine publicados des- la didáctica de entonces4. Su importancia no se circunscribe, sin embargo, a la carrera del director norteamericano, sino que abarca una forma cinematográfica que Godard ya pretendía delimitar, a propósito de Deux ou trois choses que je sais d’elle como una (1966), en los años sesenta: “Es como si yo quisiera un ensayo sociológico en for- ma de novela y, para hacerlo, no dispusiera más que de notas musicales”5. Wilson, por su parte, centraba las características del film-ensayo en las pelícu- actividad las de Welles Fake y Filming Othello (1979), pero las retrotraía a los programas de radio del director, lo cual puede explicar, aunque sea parcialmente, por qué el concepto de film-ensayo no ha despertado excesivo interés entre los teóricos, habida cuenta de que para trabajar sobre el mismo hay que efectuar una labor subversiva interdisciplinar por la que, en general, los investigadores cinematográficos no pa- recen sentir demasiado entusiasmo.

    CITIZEN KANE PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Harlan Lebo | 368 pages | 01 May 2016 | Thomas Dunne Books | 9781250077530 | English | United States Citizen Kane () - IMDb Mankiewicz , who had been writing Mercury radio scripts. One of the long-standing controversies about Citizen Kane has been the authorship of the screenplay. In February Welles supplied Mankiewicz with pages of notes and put him under contract to write the first draft screenplay under the supervision of John Houseman , Welles's former partner in the Mercury Theatre. Welles later explained, "I left him on his own finally, because we'd started to waste too much time haggling. So, after mutual agreements on storyline and character, Mank went off with Houseman and did his version, while I stayed in Hollywood and wrote mine. The industry accused Welles of underplaying Mankiewicz's contribution to the script, but Welles countered the attacks by saying, "At the end, naturally, I was the one making the picture, after all—who had to make the decisions. I used what I wanted of Mank's and, rightly or wrongly, kept what I liked of my own. The terms of the contract stated that Mankiewicz was to receive no credit for his work, as he was hired as a script doctor. Mankiewicz also threatened to go to the Screen Writers Guild and claim full credit for writing the entire script by himself. After lodging a protest with the Screen Writers Guild, Mankiewicz withdrew it, then vacillated. The guild credit form listed Welles first, Mankiewicz second. Welles's assistant Richard Wilson said that the person who circled Mankiewicz's name in pencil, then drew an arrow that put it in first place, was Welles.

ORSON WELLES We know now that in the early years of the twentieth century this world was being watched closely by intelligences greater than man's, and yet as mortal as his own. We know now that as human beings busied themselves about their various concerns they were scrutinized and studied, perhaps almost as narrowly as a man with a microscope might scrutinize the transient creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water. With infinite complacence people went to and fro over the earth about their little affairs, serene in the assurance of their dominion over this small, spinning fragment of solar driftwood which, by chance or design, man has inherited out of the dark mystery of Time and Space. Yet across an immense ethereal gulf, minds that are to our minds as ours are to the beasts in the jungle, intellects vast, cool and unsympathetic, regarded this earth with envious eyes and slowly and surely drew their plans against us.
