    The Museum of Modern Art For Immediate Release May 1994 MGM 70 YEARS: REDISCOVERIES AND CLASSICS June 24 - September 30, 1994 A retrospective celebrating the seventieth anniversary of Metro-Goldwyn- Mayer, the legendary Hollywood studio that defined screen glamour and elegance for the world, opens at The Museum of Modern Art on June 24, 1994. MGM 70 YEARS: REDISCOVERIES AND CLASSICS comprises 112 feature films produced by MGM from the 1920s to the present, including musicals, thrillers, comedies, and melodramas. On view through September 30, the exhibition highlights a number of classics, as well as lesser-known films by directors who deserve wider recognition. MGM's films are distinguished by a high artistic level, with a consistent polish and technical virtuosity unseen anywhere, and by a roster of the most famous stars in the world -- Joan Crawford, Clark Gable, Judy Garland, Greta Garbo, and Spencer Tracy. MGM also had under contract some of Hollywood's most talented directors, including Clarence Brown, George Cukor, Vincente Minnelli, and King Vidor, as well as outstanding cinematographers, production designers, costume designers, and editors. Exhibition highlights include Erich von Stroheim's Greed (1925), Victor Fleming's Gone Hith the Hind and The Wizard of Oz (both 1939), Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), and Ridley Scott's Thelma & Louise (1991).

    Westerns at The

    For immediate release: December 21, 2007 WEXNER CENTER GOES WEST FOR NINE-FILM SERIES IN JANUARY This January, the Wexner Center presents a five-night, nine-film series offering some of the best films from that most American of genres, the western. Though the western has been proclaimed dead or irrelevant numerous times in film history, the recent releases of 3:10 to Yuma, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, and even the Coen brothers’ western update No Country for Old Men suggest that there is still plenty of life and contemporary relevance in the genre (see the New York The Searchers, showing January 10 Image courtesy Warner Bros. Times Magazine cover story “How the Western Was Won” on November 11 for more on this topic). The Western series at the Wexner Center—which kicks off January 10—presents a rare chance to revisit (or see on the big screen for the first time) some influential western classics. It features some of the genre’s iconic stars (including John Wayne, James Stewart, Randolph Scott, and Gary Cooper) in films by some of the genre’s masters (such as John Ford, Howard Hawks, Anthony Mann, and Budd Boetticher). While this series focuses on the postwar western cycle typified by flawed heroes and muddied morals (exemplified by Ford’s landmark The Searchers), it also includes lighter approaches (The Plainsman, Trail of the Vigilantes) and the clearly revisionist Little Big Man. This series was organized by the Wexner Center’s film staff. Tickets for each night of the series are $7 general public; $5 members, students, and senior citizens; $3 children under 12.

This first comprehensive treat­ ment of his career developed as an outgrowth of the American Play­ wrights Theatre program. As Executive Director of the APT project for the past six years, ray association with Mr. Anderson in connec­ tion with fifty nationwide APT productions of his play. The Days Between, resulted in some of the most rewarding and stimulating ex­ periences of my life. Inspired initially by admiration for the man and his work, the present study grew out of the realization that a wealth of material has accumulated over the period of this associa­ tion in the form of letters, tape-recorded broadcasts, various re­ visions of The Days Between, the author's notes on interpretation, etc., which could serve as valuable sources of information for future biographers, critics, historians, and play directors. The purpose of the dissertation is twofold: to present a professional biography of Robert Anderson and to provide explication of his major plays through an examination of his development as a playwright and by the inclusion of Mr.

    Rediscovering Me and Juliet and Pipe Dream , the Forgotten Musicals of Rodgers and Hammerstein

    ABSTRACT Title of Thesis: “WHO EXPECTS A MIRACLE TO HAPPEN EVERY DAY?”: REDISCOVERING ME AND JULIET AND PIPE DREAM , THE FORGOTTEN MUSICALS OF RODGERS AND HAMMERSTEIN Bradley Clayton Mariska, Master of Arts, 2004 Thesis directed by: Assistant Professor Jennifer DeLapp Department of Musicology Me and Juliet (1953) and Pipe Dream (1955) diverged considerably from Rodgers and Hammerstein’s influential and commercially successful 1940s musical plays. Me and Juliet was the team’s first musical comedy and had an original book by Hammerstein. Pipe Dream was based on a John Steinbeck novel and featured bums and prostitutes. This paper documents the history of Me and Juliet and Pipe Dream , using correspondence, early drafts of scripts, interviews with cast members, and secondary sources. I analyze the effectiveness of plot, music, and lyrics, while considering factors in each show’s production that may have led to their respective failures. To better understand reception, emphasis is placed upon each show’s relationship to the political and cultural landscape of 1950s America. Re-examining these musicals helps document the complete history of the Rodgers and Hammerstein collaboration and provides valuable insights regarding the duo’s social values and personal philosophies of musical theatre. “WHO EXPECTS A MIRACLE TO HAPPEN EVERY DAY?”: REDISCOVERING ME AND JULIET AND PIPE DREAM , THE FORGOTTEN MUSICALS OF RODGERS AND HAMMERSTEIN by Bradley Clayton Mariska Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Maryland, College Park in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Master of Arts 2004 Advisory Committee: Professor Jennifer DeLapp, Chair Professor Barbara Haggh-Huglo Professor Richard King © Copyright by Bradley Clayton Mariska 2004 To Grandma Bonnie, for The Sound of Music To my parents, for Joseph ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am indebted to many individuals who have helped in the completion of this document.
