'The Intimate Strangers' Given Before Capacity Audiences This Week. Chas. Mitchell Director" (1 - AC and CO) - "While a bit more subtle than the average Players' Club production, the play lent itself admirably to the advantages of the new clubhouse stage and the excellent cast sustained the interest of the audience fairly well throughout." The article praised the cast that had Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell in the leading roles, and then its author opined, "Personally we should prefer to see the Mitchells stick to farces such as 'His Temporary Wife', which was a delightful highlight in the 1929-30 season".

Last winter this work was carried on beginning in the woods opposite the north end of the football field and continuing almost as far south as the railroad trestle." There were no college funds for continued labor, "but it is possible that they might be influenced to meet the borough Employment Committee half way in raising the necessary funds."

Furthermore, men out of regular employment are much better off doing vigorous 4 This 1931 musical was directed by Edward Sutherland, choreographed by Busby Berkeley, and starred Charlotte Greenwood and Eddie Cantor, who also wrote the screenplay.

  • Mihajlo Pupin and Father Vasa Živković
    Mihajlo Pupin and father Vasa Živković DRAGOLJUB A. CUCIĆ Regional centre for talents “Mihajlo Pupin”, Pančevo, Serbia, [email protected] Summary There is often a bond between two great men of a society at the time when one is at the peak of his life and the other at its beginning. The great Serbian 19th century poet, clergyman and educator father Vasa Živković, interceding in favour of his student Mihajlo Pupin, significantly influenced the conditions necessary for Pupin`s development into the person he later became. Mihajlo Pupin was certainly not the only student to benefit from father Vasa Živković advice and material support. However their relationship is a perfect example of an acclaimed person successfully influencing a person yet to win acclaim. Key words: Mihajlo Pupin, father Vasa Živković, Pančevo, secondary school1, parish, scholarship, Prague. Introduction Many books, studies and papers were written about Mihajlo Pupin and many national and international symposiums were dedicated to his life and work. Inspite of everything that was achieved in bringing to light Pupin`s life and work there are still insufficiently explored periods filled with important events and influences. The reason to adventure into this work is the educational character of discovering talent in the pupils and giving necessary support throughout the adversity of growing up. Many talents have disappeared in the everyday of life for the lack of support when it was most needed. Supporting the talented students does not ensure that their talent would be successfully developed. Many factors need be fulfilled before this is achieved: diligence, health, good fortune ..

Chapter 1 discusses the process by which the British socialists appropriated Whitman’s poetry as their own. Chapter 2 traces the influence of Whitman’s literary executor, Horace Traubel, who shaped Whitman’s legacy as an American socialist. Chapter 3 explores how leaders of the radical left adapted Whitman’s memes to their own purposes, discussing Robert Ingersoll’s freethinker memes, Clarence Darrow’s humanist memes, Emma Goldman’s anarchist memes, and Eugene V.

  • Jewish Experience on Film an American Overview
    Jewish Experience on Film An American Overview by JOEL ROSENBERG ± OR ONE FAMILIAR WITH THE long history of Jewish sacred texts, it is fair to characterize film as the quintessential profane text. Being tied as it is to the life of industrial science and production, it is the first truly posttraditional art medium — a creature of gears and bolts, of lenses and transparencies, of drives and brakes and projected light, a creature whose life substance is spreadshot onto a vast ocean of screen to display another kind of life entirely: the images of human beings; stories; purported history; myth; philosophy; social conflict; politics; love; war; belief. Movies seem to take place in a domain between matter and spirit, but are, in a sense, dependent on both. Like the Golem — the artificial anthropoid of Jewish folklore, a creature always yearning to rise or reach out beyond its own materiality — film is a machine truly made in the human image: a late-born child of human culture that manifests an inherently stubborn and rebellious nature. It is a being that has suffered, as it were, all the neuroses of its mostly 20th-century rise and flourishing and has shared in all the century's treach- eries. It is in this context above all that we must consider the problematic subject of Jewish experience on film. In academic research, the field of film studies has now blossomed into a richly elaborate body of criticism and theory, although its reigning schools of thought — at present, heavily influenced by Marxism, Lacanian psycho- analysis, and various flavors of deconstruction — have often preferred the fashionable habit of reasoning by decree in place of genuine observation and analysis.

    DOCUMENT IRESUME ED 096 678 CS 201 570 AUTHOR Bussel, Alan TITLF In Defense of Freedom: Horace L. Traubel and the "Conservator." PUB DATE Aug 74 NOTE 23p.; Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the Association for Education in Journalism (57th, San Diego, August 18-21, 1974) EDRS PRICE MF-$0.75 HC-$1.50 PLUS POSTAGE DESMIPTORS Academic Freedom; Civil Rights; *Freedom of Speech; Higher Education; *Journalism; *Newspapers; Periodicals; *Press Opinion; *Publishing Industry; Social Values IDBSTIFIERS Conservator; *Traubel (Horace L) ABSTRACT Philadelphia poet and journalist Horace L. Traubel's work as biographer of Walt Whitman has overshadowed his roleas crusading editor. Traubel (1858-1919) devoted 30years to publishing the "Conservator,' a monthly newspaper that reflected its editor's idiosyncratic philosophy and crusaded persistently for libertarian principles. He made the "Conservator" a champion of academic and artistic freedom and attacked those who sought to constrain liberties. Although the "Conservator" hada limited circulation, its readers--and Traubells followers--included a number of noteworthy individuals. Among them were Socialist leader Eugene V. Debs,soap magnate and reformer Joseph Fels, iconoclastic lecturer Robert G. Ingersoll, and William E. Walling, the reformer who helped foundthe National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.Traubel and the "Conservator" deserve recognition for their contributionsto the tradition of dissent in America.
