    HOLLYWOOD ON THE HUDSON SURVEYS NEW YORK’S ROLE IN THE ESTABLISHMENT OF MODERN AMERICAN FILMMAKING BETWEEN THE TWO WORLD WARS Hollywood on the Hudson: Filmmaking in New York, 1920–39 September 17 - October 19, 2008 The Roy and Niuta Titus Theaters New York, September 11, 2008—Hollywood on the Hudson: Filmmaking in New York, 1920- 1939, a month-long exhibition that showcases New York City’s seminal yet rarely recognized role in the establishment of the modern American film industry between the two world wars, is presented at The Museum of Modern Art, from September 17 through October 19, 2008. More than 25 feature films and many shorts, including early sound films—musicals, comedies, animated films, and documentaries—offer a survey of filmmaking in New York during the hegemony of Hollywood, from D. W. Griffith’s return from the West Coast in 1919 to the World’s Fair of 1939. Screenings include pioneering sound films shot at the Paramount Studios in Astoria, Queens, and performances by Broadway luminaries such as Louise Brooks, Marion Davies, the Marx Brothers, Gloria Swanson, and Rudolph Valentino. Hollywood on the Hudson is co-organized by Laurence Kardish, Senior Curator, Department of Film, The Museum of Modern Art; and Richard Koszarski, on whose book, Hollywood on the Hudson: Film and Television in New York from Griffith to Sarnoff (Rutgers University Press, 2008), the exhibition is based. The exhibition recalls a point during which an industry built on centralized authority began to listen, for the first time, to a range of independent voices in cinema, each with their own ideas about what the movies could say and do.

  • 1 Mexican Film Censorship and the Creation of Regime Legitimacy
    Mexican Film Censorship and the Creation of Regime Legitimacy, 1913-1945 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Reyna Marie Esquivel-King, M.A. Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2019 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Stephanie Smith, Advisor Dr. Laura Podalsky Dr. Stanley Blake 1 Copyrighted by Reyna Marie Esquivel-King 2019 2 Abstract My dissertation, entitled, “Mexican Film Censorship and the Creation of Regime Legitimacy, 1913-1945,” argues that Mexican government officials used cinema censorship to disseminate a positive image of Mexico and Mexicans as modern and prosperous, and attempted to create an appearance of stability and control. Utilizing archival sources, newspapers, journals, and film propaganda, I examine how regimes use film censorship as a tool to legitimize their power through images. Specifically, I focus on representations of women, the indigenous, and Mexicans in U.S. cinema. The officials realized the significant persuasive and influential power that visual media had over its vast and far-reaching audiences, especially the increasingly popular form of film. They saw censorship as an efficient and effective tool they could use to create and/or change the course of any given tide of public sentiment or opinion. They implemented film censorship and the use of positive imagery to serve two purposes. One reason being to convince international audiences of Mexico’s status as a modern, powerful, and independent nation. The second was to persuade domestic audiences of the Mexican government’s legitimacy to rule and restore a sense of national pride in order to breed a common desire for national unity.

  • Myrna Loy ~ 46 Films and More
    Myrna Loy ~ 46 Films and more Myrna Loy was born Myrna Adele Williams on 2 August 1905 in Radersburg, Montana to parents of Welsh, Scottish and Swedish descent. After her rancher father David became, at just 21, the youngest man ever elected to the Montana State Legislature, the family moved 35 miles to Helena, the state capital, which is where Myrna grew up. Frank (later Gary) Cooper, four years her senior, was a near neighbour: We lived high off the hog on Fifth Avenue. It was just a nice middle- class neighbourhood. Most of the richer families were building on the opposite mountainside. Helena is a spacious city, climbing up Mount Ascension and Mount Helena from Last Chance Gulch, so we had wonderful, steep streets. When it snowed you could slide past Judge Cooper's house all the way to the railroad station in the valley part of town. The Coopers lived just below us in a fairly elegant house with an iron fence around it.1 In 1918 a flu pandemic swept the world, and one of its countless victims was 39 year old David Williams. This prompted his widow Ella to move with children Myrna and nine year old David to Los Angeles. There Myrna attended the Westlake School for Girls where at the age of 15 she caught the acting bug. In 1924-5, she came to the attention of silver screen big-hitters Rudolph and Natacha Valentino, following which doors of opportunity began to open. Her first film, released in 1925, was What Price Beauty? Later the same year she appeared alongside young Joan Crawford in Pretty Ladies.

Five years later, she traveled to Hollywood to help William’s brother, producer-director Cecil B. De Mille, edit We Can’t Have Everything (1918). DeMille is quoted in the Los Angeles Herald Examiner as saying about her that “though a gentle person, professionally she is as firm as a stone wall . We argue over virtually every picture” (III 3). Nonetheless, she was the only person the director would permit to edit his films and continued working with him until his death in 1959.

  • Riddle-1-Bourbon Chapter Four Paramount Studios Paramount
    Riddle-1-Bourbon Chapter Four Paramount Studios Paramount-Lasky Studios were located on the corner of Sunset Boulevard and Vine Street. There were five enormous glass stages – the roofs being made of glass made it possible to get lots of sunlight and less arcs and spotlights were necessary for shooting a picture. This was all quite some time before talking pictures were ever thought possible; they were discussed, but not believed. In the early 1920’s, when Rudolph Valentino and Gloria Swanson were two of the greatest silent motion picture stars, I was under contract to Paramount Pictures, the same studio they were under contract to. Another up and comer at that time was a handsome and talented young man, William Boyd. He later became Hopalong Cassidy. There were six of us men called stock players and about twenty or thirty stock girls. When a picture was in need of bit players or small parts, the stock players were always used. It seemed there were never enough stock girls to go around. I never knew why. Usually, if the job was a little rough for the girls, some of the men in stock were sent to the make-up department, then to wardrobe, and they did the parts the girls wouldn’t or couldn’t play. Gloria Swanson and Rudolph Valentino were making a picture called Beyond the Rocks. They were shooting most of it on a yacht in Catalina bay. They tried the first few days with the stock girls, but they’d get too seasick and just couldn’t make it.

  • Don Juan Regia Alan Crosland Cast: John Barrymore, Mary Astor; Warner Oland, Estelle Taylor 126’, 1926
    Don Juan Regia Alan Crosland Cast: John Barrymore, Mary Astor; Warner Oland, Estelle Taylor 126’, 1926 Recensione a cura di Enrico Pantalone Tutti pensano a “Il Cantante Pazzo” ed a Al Jolson quando parlano di primo film sonoro (in realtà era un muto con due o tre canzoni innescate nei momenti cruciali), invece il primo film interamente sincronizzato con una banda musicale fu proprio questo, il Don Juan di Alan Crosland (che poi dirigerà anche Jolson nei suoi primi film parlati) , voluto fortemente dai fratelli Warner, tedeschi emigrati in America e con grande fortuna divenuti magnati dell’industria cinematografica, i quali non erano in condizioni disperate quando lanciarono il nostro film, avevano investito da tempo su questa nuova tecnologia e sapevano che i tempi erano oramai maturi per la grande prima, non si fidarono molto a lanciarsi subito nell’avventura totale, ma gli incoraggianti risultati ottenuti con Don Juan li spinsero ad accelerare le produzioni seguenti. Il film narra la vicenda di Don Giovanni in una Roma sommersa dallo strapotere dei Borgia (Warner Oland/Cesare ed Estelle Taylor/Lucrezia) e dalla loro cricca, i due attori sembrano divertirsi nel sostenere le parti dei cattivi: perfida ed ammaliante è soprattutto la Taylor, forse la miglior Lucrezia Borgia della storia cinematografica. Naturalmente Don Giovanni, il mitico John Barrymore, va a cercar rogne ed amanti nella città capitolina ed altrettanto ovviamente finisce con l’innamorarsi dell’unica donna che non cade ai suoi piedi cotta e stracotta (Adriana/Mary Astor) in un turbinio di avventure e grandi duelli come quello finale, e conoscendo l’abilità di spadaccino del Barrymore non deve essere stato troppo facile girare quelle scene senza una grande controfigura a lui opposta.
