    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy.

Abstract: Boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy gets girl again. With this formula it seems that romantic comedies are actually meant for men instead of women. If this is the case, then why do women watch these films? The repetition of female stars like Katharine Hepburn, Doris Day and Meg Ryan in romantic comedies allows audiences to find elements of truth in their characters as they grapple with the input of others in their life choices, combat the anxiety of being single, and prove they are less sexually naïve than society would like to admit.

  • 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.

  • Before She Was a Virgin
    “Before She Was a Virgin . .”: Doris Day and the Decline of Female Film Comedy in the 1950s and 1960s by Dennis Bingham Abstract: Doris Day’s complicated “dialogue” with her audiences varied over the decades, and endures, in a distorted way, in popular memory. This article studies the decline of her fi lm stardom and her retirement from fi lms as concurrent with the defi nitive end of the female comic as the unequivocal subject, rather than object, of comedy. The words “Doris Day” get a reaction, often adverse. They are an incantation, and people who have no reason to disdain her fi ne performer’s gifts shy from her as from a religious force. John Updike, reviewing Day’s memoir, Doris Day: Her Own Story, in 1976. Sexless Sex Object, Non-comic Comedy Star: The Doris Day Rorschach Test. Although few think of her now as a comedian, or as being in any way funny, Doris Day was a big comedy movie star. Day (née Kappelhoff) came out of a musical comedy tradition, and also fl irted with melodrama in the course of her twenty-year reign (1948–68) as one of the leading American fi lm stars. But it was in the roman- tic, or as they’re often called, “sex comedies,” of the late fi fties to mid-sixties that she reached her greatest popularity. Day was voted the number one box offi ce star in the annual Quigley Poll of U.S. exhibitors for four of the fi ve years from 1960 through 1964, yielding only to Elizabeth Taylor in 1961.
