  • Dictionary of Westerns in Cinema
    PERFORMING ARTS • FILM HISTORICAL DICTIONARY OF Historical Dictionaries of Literature and the Arts, No. 26 VARNER When early filmgoers watched The Great Train Robbery in 1903, many shrieked in terror at the very last clip, when one of the outlaws turned toward the camera and seemingly fired a gun directly at the audience. The puff of WESTERNS smoke was sudden and hand-colored, and it looked real. Today we can look back at that primitive movie and see all the elements of what would evolve HISTORICAL into the Western genre. Perhaps the Western’s early origins—The Great Train DICTIONARY OF Robbery was the first narrative, commercial movie—or its formulaic yet enter- WESTERNS in Cinema taining structure has made the genre so popular. And with the recent success of films like 3:10 to Yuma and The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, the Western appears to be in no danger of disappearing. The story of the Western is told in this Historical Dictionary of Westerns in Cinema through a chronology, a bibliography, an introductory essay, and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries on cinematographers; com- posers; producers; films like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Dances with Wolves, The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, High Noon, The Magnificent Seven, The Searchers, Tombstone, and Unforgiven; actors such as Gene Autry, in Cinema Cinema Kirk Douglas, Clint Eastwood, Henry Fonda, Jimmy Stewart, and John Wayne; and directors like John Ford and Sergio Leone.

  • Jeanie Macpherson
    Jeanie Macpherson Also Known As: Jeanie MacPherson, Jeannie MacPherson Lived: May 18, 1888 - August 26, 1946 Worked as: director, film actress, screenwriter Worked In: United States by Jane Gaines Jeanie Macpherson is best known as Cecil B. DeMille’s screenwriter since she collaborated exclusively with the director-producer from 1915 through the silent era and into the sound era, in a working relationship lasting fifteen years. Like many other women who became established as screenwriters, she began her career as a performer, first as a dancer and then as an actress. Her numerous acting screen credits begin in 1908, and nearly thirty of the short films she appeared in for the Biograph Company, most directed by D. W. Griffith, are extant. At Universal Pictures, Macpherson began to write, but due to a fluke she also directed the one film that she wrote there— a one-reel Western, The Tarantula (1913), according to a 1916 Photoplay article (95). Although Anthony Slide cannot confirm the success of the film, both he and Charles Higham retell the story that when the film negative was destroyed by accident, the actress was asked to reshoot the entire motion picture just as she recalled it since the original director was unavailable (Slide 1977, 60; Higham 1973, 38). There are several versions of how Jeanie Macpherson, out of work after The Tarantula, was hired by DeMille at the Jesse L. Lasky Feature Play Company. The most elaborate version is from Higham, who describes Macpherson’s attempt to get an acting job as involving a series of battles between the two while the director was shooting Rose of the Rancho (1914) (38–40).

  • THE GREAT WAR: a CINEMATIC LEGACY OPENS at Moma on the CENTENARY of the START of WORLD WAR I
    THE GREAT WAR: A CINEMATIC LEGACY OPENS AT MoMA ON THE CENTENARY OF THE START OF WORLD WAR I The Great War: A Cinematic Legacy August 4—September 21, 2014 The Roy and Niuta Titus Theaters NEW YORK, July 8, 2014–Opening on the 100th anniversary of the day World War I began, The Museum of Modern Art’s The Great War: A Cinematic Legacy runs from August 4 through September 21, 2014, highlighting 60 feature-length films and thematic programs that attempt to provide a comprehensive view of the war as portrayed in film. The various films focus on prewar activities; espionage; the battlefields in the trenches, in the air, and on and beneath the sea; actualités; and the various homefronts before, during, and after the war. Familiar films, such as A Farewell to Arms (1932) and Lawrence of Arabia (1962), along with several lesser-known works from as far away as New Zealand—including Chunuk Bair (1992)—reflect the universality of a war that reshaped the prevailing values of what passed for civilization. In August, the program is predominately drawn from the early years, either during the war or in the succeeding decades, and includes several silent films. The program in September will concentrate mainly on later, more contemporary films up to, and including, Steven Spielberg’s War Horse (2011). The Great War is organized by Charles Silver, Curator, with Dave Kehr, Adjunct Curator, Department of Film, The Museum of Modern Art. Many of the films in the series deal with the entrenched stalemate in France, including Verdun, Vision d’Histoire (Verdun, Vision of History) (1928) directed by Leon Poirier.

  • Hollywood Movie Surveyors: the “R” Rated Version (A) (L) (N) (S) (V) – but NO (D) !?!
    Hollywood Movie Surveyors: The “R” Rated Version (A) (L) (N) (S) (V) – BUT NO (D) !?! John F. BROCK, Australia Key words: SUMMARY Amongst my first collection of movies in which surveying scenes were contained, there were only two which contained content which in any way could be construed as sexy or violent. However, of subsequent findings which have come to my attention the same wholesome predominance certainly cannot be declared, as lewd scenes of voyeurism, sex and nudity, along with abundant violence, are featuring in much greater proportion. Even though one scene is graphically savage resulting in the grisly demise of the geological surveyor, others tend towards the melodramatic and quite unbelievable when surveyors or their assistants are seen using the theodolite as a defensive weapon or employing survey marker stakes to crack over the heads of rival surveying teams. In two of the movies, the surveying instrument is utilised to spy upon unknowing victims who have very few, if any, clothes upon their person, thus portraying the users in quite an unsavoury manner. On the lighter side of this brand new collection of Hollywood surveying footage we even see Secret Agent 007 encouraged to inspect the survey marks on an oil pipeline set out, by his voluptuous femme fatale, Electra, in “The World Is Not Enough”, more surveyors having their hats shot off in another “Duke” classic, and surveys of plant roots in a community garden in an episode of “Dharma and Greg”. All in all, this is yet another fantastic collage of surveying in the immortal traditions of Hollywood entertainment, but may I suggest that children be suitably screened from access to this naughty but nice sequel of saucy silver screen surveying !! Now cover the eyes and ears of the children, the squeamish and the prudish, and sit back, and occasionally on the edge of your seats, for a very adult viewing of surveying in Hollywood movies … and enjoy – very much !!

  • Becoming “American”: Race, Class, Gender, and Assimilation
    BECOMING “AMERICAN”: RACE, CLASS, GENDER, AND ASSIMILATION IDEOLOGIES IN YOUNG ADULT MEXICAN IMMIGRANT FICTION by JANIE IRENE COWAN (Under the Direction of Joel A. Taxel) This dissertation explores representations of race, class, gender and ideologies of assimilation in thirty-two young adult novels involving the Mexican immigrant experience published from 1953-2009. The study draws upon several theories, but is primarily located within the paradigm of critical Marxist educational, cultural, and literary theories including the sociology of school knowledge and critical multiculturalism based upon the work of Raymond Williams, Michael Apple, Joel Taxel, Stephen May and Christine Sleeter. I also draw upon theories of assimilation throughout U.S. history such as e pluribus unum, the melting pot, multiculturalism, transnationalism, and hybridity, with emphasis upon the work of Homi Bhabha that conceptualizes cultural hybridity as spaces of cultural negotiation and rearticulation. To provide further context for the study, I also review representations of Mexican Americans in larger American culture via historical accounts, school textbooks, and the entertainment media of television and film. I address the following research questions: What ideologies of assimilation are suggested in young adult contemporary fiction involving the Mexican immigrant experience? How do they change (or not change) over time? How do the intersections of assimilation ideologies and representations of ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and gender in young adult contemporary
