It is about a U.S. embassy deep in a communist country during the Cold War. The Professor Rupert Fenton. embassy is led by Ambassador Magee (Cameron Knight) and his trusty assistant Mr. Kilroy (Nick Martin). When Ambassador Magee leaves the embassy to run for a government position, he leaves his very irresponsible son, Axel (Justin Gladish), in charge. While he is away, three American tourists take vacation photos of missile sites and get chased out by communists led by Krojack (Jack Eikrem). The I lau I roduction family of three, Walter, Marie, and Susan Hollander (Ben Bement, Jenny Wright, and Austin McCann), runs into the embassy for safety. While hiding from the communist police, they are entertained by a priest named Father Drom- DuMshot C^rummona ney (Andrew Boughner) who loves doing magic tricks. After a while, the family gets sick of being couped up for so long, so Axel makes a plan to help them escape that ends up going horribly, horribly wrong. ullshot Crummond is a 1983 screenplay that is a parody of the British pulp hero named "Bulldog Drummond." Bullshot BCrummond was created by Ron House, Diz White, John Neville-Andrews, Alan Shearman, and Derek Cunningham. Our per­ formance of this play was directed by MPHS's very own Alex Kamin- ski. Although it was his first time directing a performance at the high school, he did a magnificant job. Bullshot Crummond is about a detec­ HEYYYYY!

Working against time working on this play and felt it was all worthwhile. them are Hugh "Bullshot" Crummond and Rupert Fenton's daughter, Rosemary Fenton (Joelle Kanine). Although Otto Van Brunno has very crafty ways and a wide assortment of disguises used to outsmart Bullshot Crummond, Bullshot still manages to escape many of his traps. The idea for this play is that it is suppose to look cheaply made. The phony props and demeanor that the actors put on are meant to be very stereotypical for those old, black and white, 1930's detec­ tive stories. This is one of the most lively plays that the MPHS drama class has ever put on because, at the end of the play, there is a sword fight where Bullshot and Otto run into the audience and continue their fight next to their spectators. -Michael Murphy & Cameron Knight Crazy Like a Fox Bullshot Crummond ponders new ways to outsmart Otto Van Brunno and his diabolical plans to overthrow the national diamond mar­ ket.

It is applied to the star, the producer, the director, the writer and the other human ingredients that combine in the production of a motion picture. • And for all alike there is a common denominator—the boxoffice. • It has often been stated that each per- sonality is as good as his or her last picture. But it is unfair to make an evaluation on such a basis. The average for a season, based on intakes at the boxoffices throughout the land, is the more reliable measuring stick. • To render a service heretofore lacking, the publishers of BOXOFFICE have surveyed the field of the motion picture theatre and herein present BOXOFFICE RECORDS that tell their own important story.

Webster, the athlete, athletics coach and author who F.A.M. Webster lived from 1886 to 1949, wrote a series of fifteen spy thrillers under the Spy thrillers pseudonym of Michael Annesley. His hero, Lawrie Fenton, is a lively and Michael laid-back secret agent for the fictional Intelligence Branch of the (British) Annesley Foreign Office. The books were published between 1935 and 1950, and Lawrie Fenton the series is important because of its European settings, analyses of The Great Game contemporary politics, insights into contemporary points of view, and snapshots of events and places. Fenton was a new and exciting hero for his times. The paper establishes Webster’s unrecognized but important influence on the development of the spy thriller. The photographs are from the Webster family collection. MICHAEL ANNESLEY = F.A.M. WEBSTER Frederick Annesley Michael Webster was born on 27 June 1886. He was an athlete who started his long involvement with British athletics and the Olympic movement by reporting on the London Olympics in 1908. He originated the idea of the Amateur Field Events Association in 1910, was the English javelin throwing champion in 1911 and 1923 and began his writing career with a book called Olympian Field Events: Their History and Practice (Webster 1913).

  • 1 Exploring Detective Films in the 1930S and 1940S: Genre, Society and Hollywood
    Notes 1 Exploring Detective Films in the 1930s and 1940s: Genre, Society and Hollywood 1. For a discussion of Hollywood’s predilection for action in narratives, see Elsaesser (1981) and the analysis of this essay in Maltby (1995: 352−4). 2. An important strand of recent criticism of literary detective fiction has emphasised the widening of the genre to incorporate female and non-white protagonists (Munt, 1994; Pepper, 2000; Bertens and D’Haen, 2001; Knight, 2004: 162−94) but, despite Hollywood’s use of Asian detectives in the 1930s and 1940s, these accounts are more relevant to contemporary Hollywood crime films. 3. This was not only the case in B- Movies, however, as Warner’s films, includ- ing headliners, in the early 1930s generally came in at only about an hour and one- quarter due to budgetary restraints and pace was a similar neces- sity. See Miller (1973: 4−5). 4. See Palmer (1991: 124) for an alternative view which argues that ‘the crimi- nal mystery dominates each text to the extent that all the events in the narrative contribute to the enigma and its solution by the hero’. 5. Field (2009: 27−8), for example, takes the second position in order to create a binary opposition between the cerebral British whodunnit and the visceral American suspense thriller. 6. The Republic serials were: Dick Tracyy (1937), Dick Tracy Returns (1938), Dick Tracy’s G- Men (1939) and Dick Tracy vs Crime, Inc. (1941) (Langman and Finn, 1995b: 80). 7. The use of the series’ detectives in spy-hunter films after 1941, however, modifies this relationship by giving them at least an ideological affiliation with the discourses of freedom and democracy that Hollywood deploys in its propagandistic representation of the Allies in general and the United States in particular.

Critical surveys looking back across the decades finds these subgenres difficult to distinguish over time but writers of the 1930s are very much aware of which subgenre they are writing in and its relative status. In 1942 Nicholas Blake asserted that ‘It is an established fact that the detective novel proper is read almost exclusively by the upper and professional classes. The so-called “lower middle” and “working classes” tend to read “bloods”, thrillers.’ And, he points out, ‘the modern thriller is generally much below the detective story in sophistication and style’ (xxii) Given the perceived hierarchy of readership and regard, defining the difference between these subgenres became important to some authors.
