  • 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.

Eartha Mae Kitt was born on January 17, 1927. She was ostracized at an early age because of her mixed- race heritage. At eight years old, Kitt was given away by her mother and sent from the South Carolina cotton fields to live with an aunt in Harlem. In New York, her distinct individuality and flair for show business manifested itself, and on a friend's dare, the shy teen auditioned for the famed Katherine Dunham Dance Troupe. She won a spot as a featured dancer and vocalist, and before the age of twenty, toured worldwide with the company. During a performance in Paris, Kitt was spotted by a nightclub owner and booked as a featured singer at his club. Her unique persona earned her fans and fame quickly, including Orson Welles. Welles was so taken with her talent that he cast her as “Helen of Troy” in his fabled production of Dr.

Of the songs, I remember only the funny ones -- like Alice Ghostley's hysterical "Boston Be- guine." Witty Cole Porter was probably pale green with envy when he heard lyrics like “And even the palms seemed to potted…” If he wasn’t “green,” perhaps he was “tickled pink.” Withal, "New Faces" was bright and cheerful and years ahead of its time. Some of its per- formers became famous- - Eartha Kitt, Paul Lynde, Alice Ghostley and last, but in no way least, Mel Brooks! In 1952, those "New Faces" were unknown. They became "stars" not only of an old vaudeville format but a kind of comedy they helped to invent! I like 50's trivia, but that's only a segue to welcoming two “new faces” to our own parish family-- Fr. Camillus Janas, O.F.M. and Deacon Alejandro Flores. In this bulletin, “Fr. Cam" has provided a brief autobiography. For my own part, I am delighted to have an Associate who is as experienced and accomplished in teaching and pastoral ministry as he is. After a long wait-- and persistent prayer-- I am grateful and hopeful. I know Fr. Cam will do much to enrich the life of our parish.
