  • Marriage Fifth Paper for Montana Church Workers' Conference 10
    Marriage Fifth Paper for Montana Church Workers’ Conference 10/2020 Deac. Mary J Moerbe God’s Word echoes throughout creation. (I love that image from Luther). And what happens? All over the world, throughout every age, most people look to get married. People look for a helpmate. They make a lifelong commitment to care for this one person of the opposite sex until death. This is not dependent on a church wedding or Christianity. Scripture never questions foreign or unbeliever marriages, but teaches that marriage is an institution given to humanity during the time of creation’s perfection. Interestingly, Adam had no choice in his partner, nor did Eve. In the beginning, God made one flesh and from it came the second. Then the two came together again in a way “to be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it and have dominion” (*Gen 1:28). God created them, brought them together, married them, and blessed them. He kept them in all the beautiful nuance of the ancient term. He made His face to shine upon them and was gracious to them. He lifted up His countenance upon them and gave them peace (Numbers 6:24-27). I don’t think it goes too far to say God keeps marriage. Marriage is the only relationship restricted to one other person, and, on this earth, it is decidedly marked with a beginning and an end. A man leaves his family to become one flesh with a woman. The two are united, bringing both sexes into a permanent relationship with lots of practical implications.

  • 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.

    Briley: Gene Autry and The Phantom Empire Gene Autry and The Phantom Empire (1935): The Cowboy in the Wired West of the Future Ron Briley 44 ProducedGene by The Autry Berkeley attempts Electronic to control Press,a Muranian 2010 robot while being stalked by rebel forces. 1 Used by permission of the Autry Qualified Interest Trust and the Autry Foundation Journal of Texas Music History, Vol. 10 [2010], Iss. 1, Art. 5 Gene Autry and The Phantom Empire (1935): The Cowboy in the Wired West of the Future In 1935, budding cowboy singing star Gene Ron Briley Autry appeared in the Mascot Pictures serial The Phantom Empire. The film offers a blending of the Western and science fiction genres, and Autry employs such modern devices as aircraft, radio, television, and even laser rays to protect Radio Ranch from the predatory designs of evil scientists and business interests seeking to exploit the radium deposits found in the subterranean city of Murania, located below the ranch. Autry is able to save the ranch from these threats, both alien and domestic, by completing his scheduled radio broadcasts. The premise of the film is that 45 the Western environment may only be preserved through an adaptation to modernism, which will reduce regional isolationism and ensure the overall survival of the American West. Thus, as the protagonist of The Phantom Empire portraying himself, Autry appears as somewhat of a New Deal cowboy protecting the common people of 1 the West from greedy outside business interests. In his post World War II career as an entertainer and entrepreneur, Autry maintained the Hollywood cowboy image he had successfully cultivated throughout the 1930s.

Descriptive Summary Creator: Various Title: Brooklyn Theater Playbills and Programs Collection Date Span: 1875-1972 Abstract: The Brooklyn Theater Playbills and Programs Collection consists of 800 playbills and programs for motion pictures, musical concerts, high school commencement exercises, lectures, photoplays, vaudeville, and burlesque, as well as the more traditional offerings such as plays and operas, all from Brooklyn theaters. Quantity: 2.25 linear feet Location: Brooklyn Collection Map Room, cabinet 11 Repository: Brooklyn Public Library – Brooklyn Collection Reference Code: BC0071 Scope and Content Note The 800 items in the Brooklyn Theater Playbills and Programs Collection, which occupies 2.25 cubic feet, easily refute the stereotypes of Brooklyn as provincial and insular. From the late 1880s until the 1940s, the period covered by the bulk of these materials, the performing arts thrived in Brooklyn and were available to residents right at their doorsteps. At one point, there were over 200 theaters in Brooklyn. Frequented by the rich, the middle class and the working poor, they enjoyed mass popularity. With materials from 115 different theaters, the collection spans almost a century, from 1875 to 1972. The highest concentration is in the years 1890 to 1909, with approximately 450 items.

  • The Irish-American Gangster in Film
    Farrell 1 THE IRISH-AMERICAN GANGSTER IN FILM By Professor Steven G. Farrell 1 Farrell 2 When The Godfather was released in the early seventies, it effectively created a myth of the virtually unbeatable Italian crime family for the American public that endured for the remainder of the century. This film also effectively eliminated all other white ethnic organized gangs from the silver screen, as well as from the public’s eye. Hollywood, as we shall see, had their history wrong in this case. The Italian Mafia was never as invincible as Hollywood depicted it on film, nor did they always have everything their own way when it came to illegal activities. It wasn’t until the close of the last century that the film industry began to expose the old-time hoods as being fallible and besieged on all sides from new criminal elements connected with newly arrived immigrant groups. The Cubans, Russians and the Colombian hoods, along with the longer established African and Mexican American gangs, had begun to nibble away at the turf long controlled by the almighty Italian mob. As the paradigm of the urban underworld began to shift to reflect the new realities of the global economy, another look at the past by historians and Hollywood is revealing that the Italian gang never had absolute power as it was once commonly believed. The Irish hoodlums, to single out the subject of this paper, were actually engaged in gangland activities years before the arrival of the Italians and the Irish also competed with the Italians up until recently.

  • Bishop James Foley's Christmas Message
    Email: [email protected] 2020 CHRISTMAS MESSAGE You may need to be of my vintage or older to remember back to the days, or rather the nights, of Black and White Television, and that English satire ’Till Death Us Do Part with Warren Mitchell (more usually a fine Shakespearian actor) playing that cranky little man Alf Garnett. Well, in a Christmas episode Alf is telling his grand-daughter the Nativity Story, when she asked: Grandad, why was there no room in the Inn? (Lk 2/7) To which Alf’s long-suffering wife, ironing away in the corner, pipes up: Well, dear, we all know how busy it is at Christmas time! At which Alf gives her one of his withering glares and utters: Ah. cor blimey Else you silly old moo. Well what has that irreverent and tasteless piece of nostalgia to say to us for Christmas 2020? Its Luke’s Gospel which explains why there was no room in the inn on that first Christmas. It was Census night: the first ….. Now it happened that at this time Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be made of the whole world. This census - the first - took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria, and everyone went to be registered, each to his own town. So Joseph set out from the town of Nazareth in Galilee for Judaea, to David's town called Bethlehem, since he was of David's House and line, (Scripture scholars however do struggle to reconcile what is known of the dates of these population counts and their required places of recording.
