    ACADEMY AWARD® WINNER THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD (1938) SCREENING SPOTLIGHTS THE PRODUCTION DESIGNS OF CARL JULES WEYL PRESENTED BY THE ART DIRECTORS GUILD FILM SOCIETY AND AMERICAN CINEMATHEQUE Sunday, June 28 at 5:30 PM at the Aero Theatre in Hollywood LOS ANGELES, June 17, 2015 - The Art Directors Guild (ADG) Film Society and American Cinematheque will present a screening of Errol Flynn’s swashbuckling adventure fantasy THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD (1938) spotlighting the production design by Academy Award®- winning designer Carl Jules Weyl, as part of the 2015 ADG Film Series on Sunday, June 28, at 5:30 P.M. at the Aero Theatre in Santa Monica. The ADG “Confessions of a Production Designer” Film Series is sponsored by The Hollywood Reporter. “Welcome to Sherwood, my lady!” Legendary, beloved, much imitated but never surpassed, The Adventures of Robin Hood is pure escapism epitomizing the very best in classical Hollywood matinee adventure storytelling. Rich in its visual imagination, it remains a case study in film design excellence. Inspired by the romantic illustrations of famed illustrator and artist N.C. Wyeth, Carl Jules Weyl’s masterful designs served well this Warner Bros.’ first venture into three-strip Technicolor productions. “The Adventures of Robin Hood remains a fitting tribute to the achievements and talent of this exceptional designer, as well as being a reminder of the many less celebrated but equally gifted masters of design who have left us with a visually-inspired legacy,” said Production Designer Thomas A. Walsh,

  • "Women and the Silent Screen" In: Wiley-Blackwell History of American
    WOMEN AND THE 7 SILENT SCREEN Shelley Stamp Women were more engaged in movie culture at the height of the silent era than they have been at any other time since. Female filmgoers dominated at the box office; the most powerful stars were women, and fan culture catered almost exclusively to female fans; writers shaping film culture through the growing art of movie reviewing, celebrity profiles, and gossip items were likely to be women; and women’s clubs and organizations, along with mass-circulation magazines, played a signature role in efforts to reform the movies at the height of their early success. In Hollywood women were active at all levels of the industry: The top screenwriters were women; the highest-paid director at one point was a woman; and women held key leadership roles in the studios as executives and heads of departments like photography, editing, and screenwriting. Outside Hollywood women ran movie theaters, screened films in libraries and classrooms, and helped to establish venues for nonfiction filmmaking. Looking at the extraordinary scope of women’s participation in early movie culture – indeed, the way women built that movie culture – helps us rethink conventional ideas about authorship and the archive, drawing in a broader range of players and sources. As Antonia Lant reminds us, the binary notion of women working on “both sides of the camera” needs to be significantly complicated and expanded in order to accommodate all of the ways in which women engaged with and produced early film culture (2006, 548–549).

Magee All Rights Reserved ii This dissertation titled That’s Television Entertainment: The History, Development, and Impact of the First Five Seasons of “Entertainment Tonight,” 1981-86 by SARA C. MAGEE has been approved for the E. W. Scripps School of Journalism and the Scripps College of Communication by Patrick S. Washburn Professor of Journalism Gregory J. Shepherd Dean, Scripps College of Communication iii Abstract MAGEE, SARA C., Ph.D., August 2008, Mass Communication That’s Television Entertainment: The History, Development, and Impact of the First Five Seasons of “Entertainment Tonight,” 1981-86 (306 pp.) Director of Dissertation: Patrick S. Washburn The line between news and entertainment on television grows more blurry every day. Heated debates over what is news and what is entertainment pepper local, national, and cable newsrooms. Cable channels devoted entirely to entertainment and a plethora of syndicated, half-hour entertainment news magazines air nightly. It was not always so. When “Entertainment Tonight” premiered in 1981, the first daily half-hour syndicated news program, no one thought it would survive. No one believed there was enough celebrity and Hollywood news to fill a daily half-hour, much less interest an audience. Still, “ET” set out to become the glitzy, glamorous newscast of record for the entertainment industry and twenty-seven years later is still going strong.

  • The Curdling of American History
    TThhee CCuurrddlliinngg ooff AAmmeerriiccaann HHiissttoorryy ‘‘MM’’ A Recap of the Exodus that transformed Hollywood from Starlit Mecca to Celebrity Babylon by Nick Zegarac “Hollywood is a place where they place you under contract instead of under observation.” – Walter Winchell The history of Hollywood is only one third fairytale. No, that’s not entirely true or open-minded to the reputation of the fairytale – except if one regards those watered down predigested versions made for the kiddies by Disney. No, Hollywood is all fairytale, as in the Brothers Grimm; both the light and the fantastic, and, the disturbing and the frightfully dismal - effortlessly blended in one tight-knit community. Hollywood’s earliest moments are a history of trial and error; a tale about making great strides through blind ambition despite steadfast adversities. It is a history of the 20th century’s most resilient art form, even though eighty percent of that art has been lost for all time through recent shortsightedness and a very public neglect that almost universally failed to preserve or even classify motion pictures as anything beyond cheap thrills entertainment. (at right: Natalie and Herbert Kalmus: he the great inventor and pioneer of the 3-strip Technicolor process, she the woman behind the man who would forever be associated with the company and its output than he. A bitter separation and divorce left Mrs. Kalmus with the right to insist her name be accredited to every Technicolor film made between 1929 and 1953, a right that made her a very rich divorcee indeed.) (Left: The man who might have been king – at least of comedy: Roscoe Fatty Arbuckle.

  • An American Tour: 73
    An American Tour: 73 Los Angeles’s Brown Derby The Brown Derby was the name of a chain of restaurants in Los Angeles, California. The first and most famous of these was shaped like a man's derby hat, an iconic image that became synonymous with the Golden Age of Hollywood. A chain of Brown Derby restaurants in Ohio are still in business today. The chain was started by Robert H. Cobb and Herbert Somborn (a former husband of Gloria Swanson). It is often incorrectly thought that the Brown Derby was a single restaurant, and the Wilshire Boulevard and Hollywood branches are frequently confused. Gus Girves started the Brown Derby chain in Ohio in 1941. Opened in 1926, the original restaurant at 3427 Wilshire Boulevard remains the most famous due to its distinctive shape. Whimsical architecture was popular at the time, and the restaurant was designed to catch the eye of passing motorists. It is said that the shape of the hat worn by New York governor and 1928 Democratic Party presidential candidate Al Smith, a personal friend of Somborn's, was an inspiration. Another theory claims that Somborn was told a good restaurateur could serve food out of a hat and still make a success of it. The small cafe, close to popular Hollywood hot spots such as Cocoanut Grove at the Ambassador Hotel, became successful enough to warrant building a second branch. The original, derby-shaped building was moved in 1937 to 3377 Wilshire Boulevard at the northeast corner of Wilshire Boulevard and Alexandria Avenue, about a block from its previous location (just north of the Ambassador Hotel).
