  • Apparitional Girlhood: Material Ephemerality and the Historiography of Female Adolescence in Early American Film1
    Diana Anselmo-Sequeira Apparitional Girlhood: Material Ephemerality and the Historiography of Female Adolescence in Early American Film1 Abstract At the turn of the twentieth century, the figure of the adolescent girl emerged in popular culture, her amorphous specter haunting the American screen. For the next two decades, psychologists, scientists, columnists, and filmmakers struggled to visualize a figure that was—physically, intellectually, and spiritually—defined by the ephemerality of transformation. Further, shaped by a deep-seated cultural tradition that equated young femininity with mysticism, the adolescent girl became quickly visualized as a liminal figure, an uncanny mediator between the living and the dead. Focusing on D.W. Griffith’s What The Daisy Said (1910), Thanhouser’s The Portrait of Lady Anne (1912), and the lost IFC serial The Mysteries of Myra (1916), this paper proposes to trace the protean representations of mystical girlhood. Through an analysis of these three objects, I explore the links between the invention of adolescent girlhood as it was conceived by American psychologist G. Stanley Hall in the 1900s, and the growth of American Spiritualism, a religious movement founded in the mid-1800s that often recruited “budding girls” as their most sensitive mediums. Additionally, I also interrogate how early American filmmaking intersected with modern science’s campaign to debunk spiritualism via the employment of mechanical apparatuses. Lastly, following Giuliana Bruno’s methodology of “textual remanence,” I have used surviving ephemera to fill in the gaps left by the material absence of The Mysteries of Myra. Although only four fragments of its original fifteen chapters survive today, the serial was completely predicated on an eighteen-year-old girl’s mystical awakening.

  • Mary Pickford
    Mary Pickford Also Known As: Mary Pickford Rogers, Gladys Smith, Gladys Louise Smith, Gladys Mary Smith Lived: April 8, 1892 - May 29, 1979 Worked as: company director, distributor, film actress, film company founding partner, producer, screenwriter, theatre actress Worked In: United States by Christel Schmidt Mary Pickford was born Gladys Smith in 1892 in Toronto, Canada. After her father was killed in an accident, Gladys became the family’s main breadwinner by performing in the theatre. She was seven years old. In fact, the stage became a family venture, as her younger siblings Lottie and Jack and even her mother took up the trade. But the drive and determination to be a star belonged solely to Gladys. In 1907, her ambition would take her to Broadway and famed producer-director David Belasco, who changed her name to Mary Pickford and gave her a part in “The Warrens of Virginia.” In 1909, when Pickford was between stage engagements, she approached director D. W. Griffith at the Biograph Company in New York and asked for work in moving pictures. She had no intention of working permanently in the new medium, but hoped the income would tide her over before she went back to Belasco and the stage. Pickford was intrigued with film acting, and before long she began to enjoy “posing” for motion pictures. She stayed with the Biograph Company, working as both an actress and writer from 1909 to 1911, leaving for a brief stint with the Independent Motion Picture Company (IMP), and later with Majestic Pictures Corporation. She returned to Griffith at Biograph in early 1912, finishing out the year with him.

  • The Art of the Moving Picture by Vachel Lindsay
    The Art Of The Moving Picture by Vachel Lindsay The Art Of The Moving Picture by Vachel Lindsay had them scurrying to learn their A, B, C's, but they are drifting back to their old ways again, and nightly are forming themselves in cues at the doorways of the "Isis," the "Tivoli," and the "Riviera," the while it is sadly noted that "'the pictures' are driving literature off the parlor table." With the creative implications of this new pictorial art, with the whole visual-minded race clamoring for more, what may we not dream in the way of a new renaissance? How are we to step in to the possession of such a destiny? Are the institutions with a purely literary theory of life going to meet the need? Are the art schools and the art museums making themselves ready to assimilate a new art form? Or what is the type of institution that will ultimately take the position of leadership in culture through this new universal instrument? What possibilities lie in this art, once it is understood and developed, to plant new conceptions of civic and national idealism? How far may it go in cultivating concerted emotion in the now ungoverned crowd? Such questions as these can be answered only by minds with the imagination to page 1 / 231 see art as a reality; with faith to visualize for the little mid-western "home town" a new and living Pallas Athena; with courage to raze the very houses of the city to make new and greater forums and "civic centres." For ourselves in Denver, we shall try to do justice to the new Muse.

  • Summary 1B Spring 2018 DW Griffith As the 'Father of American Film'
    HIST/HRS 169 – Summary 1B Spring 2018 D.W. Griffith as the ‘Father of American Film’ D.W. Griffith is often described as the “father of American film.” Born as a “Southern gentleman” in Kentucky, his early career was as an actor and making hundreds of short films (usually “two-reelers” of less than 15 minutes) for the Biograph Company. He made ‘Birth of a Nation’ in 1915, and the sprawling epic ‘Intolerance’ in 1916. After making ‘Broken Blossoms’ (1922), he left Hollywood, leaving American movies to their fate! He was responsible more than any other filmmaker for the development of the standard feature film and the techniques filmmakers use to make one. His remarkable achievement by about 1915 was to have invented an “inherent cinematic style”, “a completely original style of moving images” specifically appropriate to moving pictures (in contrast to the short one-reelers and the statically filmed play-like movies in vogue around 1910). Perhaps his most contribution can be summed up as “classical editing.” He realized that the main objective of a filmmaker was to “manipulate” his audience, to increase the dramatic impact of the scenes on the audience, to get them more emotionally involved – excited, happy, sad, empathetic with the characters. His “chain of cinematic discourse” included using (often short) camera shots other than long shots – long shots, medium shots, two-shots, close-ups, etc. shot from different spatial and psychological perspectives (mise-en-scène) – and linking them together by editing to make up a single movie scene. “Time and space are conquered.” You no longer have to rely exclusively on the long shot from the 25th row, but you can mix them in different scales and from different perspectives and points of view to heighten audience response.
