    Matt Connolly Solidification and Flux on the “Gay White Way”: Gay Porn Theaters in Post-Stonewall New York City Abstract This paper traces the exhibition strategies of two gay porn theaters in New York City from 1969-1973: the 55th Street Playhouse and the Eros I. It draws upon contemporaneous advertising and trade press to reconstruct these histories, and does so in the pursuit of two interconnected goals. First, by analyzing two venues whose exhibition protocols shifted over the course of this time period, this paper seeks a more nuanced understanding of how gay porn theaters established, maintained, and augmented their market identities. Second, it attempts to use these shifts to consider more broadly what role exhibition practices played in the shaping of gay men’s experiences within the porn theater itself – a key site of spectatorial, erotic, and social engagement. The 1970s saw the proliferation of theaters in major my conclusions in some ways, but that will also urban centers specializing in the exhibition of gay provide the opportunity to investigate exhibition pornography.1 Buoyed by both seismic shifts in spaces within a city that is central to histories of both LGBT visibility in the wake of the 1969 Stonewall LGBT culture and pornographic exhibition.3 I will riots and larger trends in industry, law, and culture track two Manhattan theaters across this time period that increasingly brought pornography of all stripes to observe what films they screened and how they into the mainstream, these theaters provided a public advertised their releases: the 55th Street Playhouse venue for audiences of primarily gay men to view gay and the Eros I.

The Archive is a comprehensive research collection relating to Usigli’s life and career, including correspondence, both manuscript and typed drafts of original plays and translations of works by other artists, personal, theatrical, and diplomatic photographs, essays, books, playbills, posters, theses written about Usigli, awards, newspaper and magazine articles, memorabilia, and ephemera. PROVENANCE OF THE COLLECTION The knowledge and support of Miami professor Ramon Layera was critical to the acquisition of the collection, while Phelps and Beverly Wood made the key donation that enabled Miami University to purchase the Usigli Archive. BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION Diplomat, translator, historian, drama critic, but above all playwright Rodolfo Usigli can be described as one of the founders of modern Mexican drama. He was born in Mexico City in 1905, the son of immigrant parents. Forced to leave school to work after his father’s death, Usigli was largely self-educated. In 1935 he received a Rockefeller scholarship to study drama direction and composition at Yale University. Returning to Mexico he taught drama at the university level and worked for the Institute of Fine Arts, reviewed plays, translated poetry and drama from both English and French, and wrote his own plays, including his signature piece El [Usigli Archive: Papers] Page 2 gesticulador (The Impostor).

The response from the public was immediate and so remarkable that within a very short time a new and extremely successful Movie Theatre Business was developed with enormous cinemas built to house the insatiable demand. In Ireland the response was no less remarkable. On the 17th of April 1896 the Freeman’s Journal carried the following notice: “Dan Lowrey’s Star of Erin Theatre or Varieties (now the Olympia) announced ‘the world’s most scientific invention: The greatest, most amazing and grandest novelty ever presented in Dublin: The Cinématographe.’”2 and only three days later cinema arrived in Ireland. The first purpose built theatre, the Volta was opened in 1909. Very early filming was made in 1907 when a journey from “London to Killarney” was produced which included some shots of the journey from Waterford to Wexford. During the filming of this newsreel short features were made as interludes including “Irish wives and husbands” which is “probably the first fiction film made in Ireland…”3 The first excursion by American film-makers occurred when the Kalem Company commissioned Sidney Olcott to produce some European based features and he chose Ireland because his mother was from Dublin.

    JPHXXX10.1177/2053019616000002The Undergraduate Journal of Public HealthUnintended Consequences of the Bangladesh Tubewell Intervention—Tiwari 000002research-article2017 Media Industries 4.1 (2017) Donald Rugoff, Cinema V, and Commercial Strategies of 1960s–1970s Art Cinema Justin Wyatt1 University of Rhode Island justinw @ uri.edu Abstract: This article considers the cultural and economic impact of Donald Rugoff, founder of Cinema V and one of the seminal figures in the 1960s art cinema world. Rugoff initiated key aspects of marketing, distribution, and strategy that would influence other regimes of independent cinema through the decades. The eventual demise of Cinema V follows the pattern for the continual assimilation of independent film by mainstream forces. In this way, Cinema V shows us that art cinema and independent cinema are always tentative categories, best defined by case studies, rather than trends, and never far from the reach of mainstream Hollywood.
