    FROM GOLDEN AGE TO SILVER SCREEN: FRENCH MUSIC-HALL CINEMA FROM 1930-1950 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Rebecca H. Bias, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Judith Mayne, Advisor Professor Diane Birckbichler _________________________ Advisor Professor Charles D. Minahen Graduate Program in French and Italian Copyright by Rebecca H. Bias 2005 ABSTRACT This dissertation examines French music-hall cinema from 1930-1950. The term “music-hall cinema” applies to films that contain any or all of the following: music-hall performers, venues, mise en scène, revues, and music- hall songs or repertoire. The cinema industry in France owes a great debt to the music-hall industry, as the first short films near the turn of the century were actually shown as music-hall acts in popular halls. Nonetheless, the ultimate demise of the music hall was in part due to the growing popularity of cinema. Through close readings of individual films, the dynamics of music-hall films will be related to the relevant historical and cultural notions of the period. The music-hall motif will be examined on its own terms, but also in relation to the context or genre that underlies each particular film. The music-hall motif in films relies overwhelmingly on female performers and relevant feminist film theory of the 1970s will help support the analysis of female performance, exhibition, and relevant questions of spectatorship. Music-hall cinema is an important motif in French film, and the female performer serves as the prominent foundation in these films.

  • GSC Films: S-Z
    GSC Films: S-Z Saboteur 1942 Alfred Hitchcock 3.0 Robert Cummings, Patricia Lane as not so charismatic love interest, Otto Kruger as rather dull villain (although something of prefigure of James Mason’s very suave villain in ‘NNW’), Norman Lloyd who makes impression as rather melancholy saboteur, especially when he is hanging by his sleeve in Statue of Liberty sequence. One of lesser Hitchcock products, done on loan out from Selznick for Universal. Suffers from lackluster cast (Cummings does not have acting weight to make us care for his character or to make us believe that he is going to all that trouble to find the real saboteur), and an often inconsistent story line that provides opportunity for interesting set pieces – the circus freaks, the high society fund-raising dance; and of course the final famous Statue of Liberty sequence (vertigo impression with the two characters perched high on the finger of the statue, the suspense generated by the slow tearing of the sleeve seam, and the scary fall when the sleeve tears off – Lloyd rotating slowly and screaming as he recedes from Cummings’ view). Many scenes are obviously done on the cheap – anything with the trucks, the home of Kruger, riding a taxi through New York. Some of the scenes are very flat – the kindly blind hermit (riff on the hermit in ‘Frankenstein?’), Kruger’s affection for his grandchild around the swimming pool in his Highway 395 ranch home, the meeting with the bad guys in the Soda City scene next to Hoover Dam. The encounter with the circus freaks (Siamese twins who don’t get along, the bearded lady whose beard is in curlers, the militaristic midget who wants to turn the couple in, etc.) is amusing and piquant (perhaps the scene was written by Dorothy Parker?), but it doesn’t seem to relate to anything.

':} ;:(,".j Abstract • (~ L-J t; And Acknowledgements Abstract I love over-the-top drama, When I was watching the Lifetime Network one afternoon, I had an epiphany, I could write this, I could write about mothers leaving their kids to smoke crack. I could write about a young boy going to war and coming back with so many injuries all he could do was sit on the porch and watch life go by, In my creative project, I set out to do just that. First, I chose a theme fit for Lifetime, Dark Secrets, Then, I set out on an adventure to conquer melodrama through poetry and short stories, I wrote 16 poems, 2 fiction pieces, and a creative nonfiction piece, They all explore the dark part of life kept secret. Please read on and enjoy, For a closer look at the technical aspects of the project, also read the analysis of my creative process at the end, Acknowledgements: Thank you, Dr, Koontz. You've taught me, laughed with me, but most important, you have inspired me. You give me hope that I can succeed as a writer. Thank you, English teachers. Thank you for sowing the seed of creativity. I could not have grown up with such passion if it weren't for all the teachers and professors who encouraged me along the way, Thank you, Mom. You've been my strength.

    DIJKSTRA AGENCY HOT LIST Spring – Summer 2020 Sandra Dijkstra Elise Capron * Jill Marr Thao Le * Andrea Cavallaro Jessica Watterson * Suzy Evans Jennifer Kim * Haneen Oriqat Elisabeth James www.dijkstraagency.com DISTINGUISHED HISTORIAN ELLEN CAROL DUBOIS SUFFRAGE: Women's Long Battle for the Vote Ellen Carol DuBois (Simon & Schuster, February 2020) Honoring the 100th anniversary of the 19th amendment to the Constitution, DuBois has written the definitive history of the movement to win the vote for women replete with memorable portraits of its bold leaders and devoted activists. “Ellen DuBois tells us the long drama of women’s fight for the vote, without privileging polite lobbying over radical disobedience—or vice versa. In so doing, she gives us the gift of a full range of tactics now, and also the understanding that failing to vote is a betrayal of our foremothers and ourselves.” —Gloria Steinem “This book is a treasure! A wealth of material is gathered here on behalf of the stirring, seventy-year struggle for the political enfranchisement of American women. Others have written about it before, but none as thrillingly, as freshly, and as comprehensively as does Ellen Dubois in this book. Suffrage deserves a permanent place on the ever-growing shelf of distinguished feminist history." —Vivian Gornick "Suffrage reads like an exciting novel. Ellen DuBois presents her well-researched history of women’s long battle for the vote through superb storytelling, in which the major personalities in the struggle to enfranchise women come alive in all their complexity. Though we know the story will end in the victory of the 19th Amendment, Suffrage is a page-turner." —Lillian Faderman, author of Harvey Milk: His Lives and Death and The Gay Revolution: The Story of the Struggle “This is a great American story, beautifully told.
