  • Films from the THIRTIES: PART II 1935-39
    t% The Museum of Modern Art 1] West 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019 Tel. 245-3200 Cable: Modernart No. 83 FOR RELEASE: Friday, August 25, I968 Films from THE THIRTIES: PART II 1935-39 The Museum of Modern Art, will present a retrospective of films from the thirties beginning August 23, and running through October 6. The Thirties, according to Willard Van Dyke, Director of the Department of Film, will consist of 39 pictures, representing some of the richest creative talent in American cinema at a time that has been called "the dear, dead days not beyond recall." Two years ago the Museum presented The Thirties, U.S.A., Part I, covering the first half of the decade. The films being shown now as Part II were made from 1935 ^^ 193 '• Among the pictures to be shown are: Frank Capra's "Lost Horizon"; Paul Muni in "The Life of Emile Zola," the Story of a Northern Jew's lynching in the South; the great thriller "Night Must Fall," an adaptation of the Emlyn Williams play starring Robert Montgomery; and "The Good Earth," a spectacle film in black and white, from Pearl Buck's popular novel, for which Luise Rainer won her second Academy Award, with Paul Muni in the starring role. The latter part of the thirties was characterized by further achievements in the musical film, largely due to the talents of Fred Astaire, who with Ginger Rogers starred in "Top Hat," and "Shall We Dance," both of which are in the retrospective. The most important contributions to the annals of films made in the thirties was the series of "snowball" comedies Hollywood turned out at a time of grim, economic hardships.

  • Tom Marshall's Weekly News, September 12, 2016 Actors And
    Tom Marshall’s Weekly News, September 12, 2016 Actors and Actresses Depicting Famous People: The Weekly News of December 11, 2006, was entitled “Let’s Go to the Movies.” When I was young during the Golden Age of Hollywood, I loved the movies, culminating in the Club House Theater in Yorklyn, which I operated for two seasons in 1947 and 1948. From the 1930s through the ‘50s, leading stars of the screen were under contract with the big studios and often took roles not to their liking. Among the features during this period was the portrayal of American heroes in full-length films, which carried over to historical documentaries on TV. The earlier movies took liberties with actual facts, but they were popular. Big name stars were often asked to portray historical figures. Sometimes they were honored to do it; often they “had to.” Following is the list of those I can recall. Spencer Tracy: Clarence Darrow, Father Flanagan, Christopher Jones, Jimmy Doolittle, Thomas Edison, Robert Rogers. Edward Arnold: Pawnee Bill, Daniel Webster Walter Hampden: Thomas Jefferson Hal Holbrook: John Adams, Mark Twain, Abraham Lincoln Henry Fonda: Abraham Lincoln James Stewart: Glenn Miller, Charles A.

  • City of Palm Springs
    City of Palm Springs Department of Planning Services Memorandum Date: August 24, 2020 To: HSPB From: Ken Lyon, RA, Associate Planner Subject: Case HSPB #83 – The Palm Springs Racquet Club 2743 N. Indian Canyon Historic Resources Report dated July 14, 2020 Dear Board Members, In 2017, the HSPB voted unanimously to recommend that the City Council designate the Palm Springs Racquet Club as a Class 1 historic site. The recommendation was based upon a historic resources report written by the John Ash Group in 2004. The property owner had the property listed for sale and requested the City Council Public Hearing be postponed. The property is still for sale, however at its September 2019 meeting, the HSPB again requested staff to prepare the HSPB’s recommendation for City Council consideration. Given the length of time since the Ash Group’s report was completed in 2004, Staff commissioned a professional services firm to provide an updated analysis and report about the site to determine whether, in its current condition, the site is still eligible for consideration as a historic resource. That report is attached here for your consideration. Recommendation: Direct staff to schedule a public hearing of the HSPB to consider the updated report and determine whether to re-state its previous recommendation or to establish a new recommendation to the City Council for possible designation of the Palm Springs Racquet Club as a historic resource. Attachment (via e-mail): July 14, 2020 Historic Resources Report on the Palm Springs Racquet Club. Vicinity Map. 3200 E.
