It argues that the tune’s history and accumulated use in films enabled Hollywood to employ it in an increasingly com- plex manner to evoke essential questions about female sexuality, class, and race. Recent critical writing on American cinema has focused attention on the struc- tures of racial coding of gender and on the ways in which moral transgressions are routinely characterized as “black.” As Eric Lott points out in his analysis of race and film noir: “Raced metaphors in popular life are as indispensable and invisible as the colored bodies who give rise to and move in the shadows of those usages.” Lott aims to “enlarge the frame” of work conducted by Toni Morrison and Ken- neth Warren on how “racial tropes and the presence of African Americans have shaped the sense and structure of American cultural products that seem to have nothing to do with race.”1 Specifically, Lott builds on Manthia D iawara’s argument that “film is noir if it puts into play light and dark in order to exhibit a people who become ‘black’ because of their ‘shady’ moral behaviour.2 E.

Booth Tarkington is a forgotten Master of fictionBy MoonglowHis books are about a period in history when people actually had rules of civility and a well brought up girl might actually blush if a blue remark was made in her presence, but Booth had great sense of humor and this and Seventeen and especially the Penrod series all made me laugh a lot.His serious books, Alice Adams and The Magnificent Ambersons, are top notch in terms of understanding human self rationalizations for bad behavior, but I don't like to read about crummy people so didn't really enjoy them. But if you like serious drama, I'd recommend them too because they are the best of the type (Pulitzer prize winning).9 of 10 people found the following review helpful. Not for everyoneBy AmyMI enjoyed this story, in particular the teasing and rivalry between the three siblings. The character development is great, but the story is not for everyone. You feel sorry for poor Laura, living in sister Cora's shadow, but you do have an idea how things will turn out from the get-go, making the ending sort of anti-climatic.

PENROD AND SAM During the daylight hours of several autumn Saturdays there had been severe outbreaks of cavalry in the Schofield neighbourhood. The sabres were of wood; the steeds were imaginary, and both were employed in a game called "bonded pris'ner" by its inventors, Masters Penrod Schofield and Samuel Williams. The pastime was not intricate. When two enemies met, they fenced spectacularly until the person of one or the other was touched by the opposing weapon; then, when the ensuing claims of foul play had been disallowed and the subsequent argument settled, the combatant touched was considered to be a prisoner until such time as he might be touched by the hilt of a sword belonging to one of his own party, which effected his release and restored to him the full enjoyment of hostile activity.

    UC_Weisenfeld.qxd 11/1/06 2:58 PM Page 19 one .“’Taint What You Was, It’s What You Is Today” Hallelujah and the Politics of Racial Authenticity In 1928 King Vidor, one of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer’s most successful directors, find- ing himself between projects, decided to spend some time in Europe. Having directed a number of important and successful silent films for the studio—most notably The Big Parade (1925), a tremendously popular World War I epic, and The Crowd (1928), a study of the life of an average man in the large urban environment of New York City—Vidor returned home when the studio asked him to direct his first sound film. Despite his initial predictions that “sound pictures [would] do away entirely with the art of motion pictures,” Vidor soon began to see the possibilities that the new technology presented and was especially excited that sound would make it possible for him to direct a film that he had long wanted to make.1 Synchronous sound, in which the dialogue or singing corresponds with the movements of the actors’ lips, had only begun to make its way into American feature films since the 1927 release of Warner Bros.’ landmark film The Jazz Singer, itself very much about complex processes of racializing religion in America.2 Just as the projection of con- structions of race had been part of the development of the silent motion picture, as D. W. Griffith’s 1915 The Birth of a Nation had ably demonstrated, so the addition of sound had been bound up in conjunctions of religion and race from the outset.
