FROM SMALL-SCALE HOUSEHOLD OBJECTS TO massive architectural features, decorative and functional objects effect our daily lives and reflect our societal values. By studying Dthese objects, we learn about the forms, uses, and meanings of objects, designs, and environments in everyDay life. When we explore the decorative arts anD design, we consiDer a number of factors, including the artists’ choices about subject, style, material, and function. To begin an exploration of decorative arts anD design with students, pose the following questions: What do you see? Collect visual information. What is the central subject or focus of this work? What are the surrounding details? Artists think carefully about the appearance of their designs. Consider the artist’s choice of color, size, shape, surface pattern, and texture. The artworks featured in these materials represent a wiDe range of cultures and time periods. What was it used for? Who may have used it? What are the intended uses or functions of these objects? How can we tell? What do these items imply about the time anD place in which they were created, or about the people who may have used them? By carefully examining works of art, we can also understand the historical, cultural, and geographical influences of the periods in which they were made. How was it made? What material is the artwork made of? What factors may have influenced the artists’ choice of materials? What historical events took place arounD the time this artwork was made?

Like many other players hailing from the continent, her publicity was built upon the notion of tem- peramentality and represented Goudal as a volatile and irrational woman, prone to abrupt fits of rage. This perception soon started to work against her own profes- sional interests. Her consecutive Hollywood contracts – first with Distinctive Pic- tures, then with Famous Players-Lasky – were both terminated prematurely, which resulted in Goudal suing them for a breach of contract. She promptly signed a new agreement with Cecil B. DeMille, but again ran into difficulties which found their way to the court room.

Journal of Religion and Popular Culture Volume 6: Spring 2004 The Deep Focus Typecasting of Joseph Schildkraut as Judas Figure in Four DeMille Films Anton Karl Kozlovic School of Humanities, The Flinders University of South Australia Abstract Cecil B. DeMille is an unsung auteur director, a master of the American biblical epic, and a founding figure of Hollywood. However, critics have routinely dismissed him as unfashionable, inauthentic or disingenuous. Rarely have DeMille's credentials as a legitimate religious artist been seriously investigated, acknowledged or applauded. One of his cinematic trade secrets was the utilisation of deep focus casting, that is, the engineering of significant correspondences between his on-screen characters and his actors' personal idiosyncrasies, which eventually resulted in their typecasting. Using humanist film criticism as the analytical lens, the critical literature is reviewed and eight components of DeMille's deep focus casting philosophy are identified.

    Anne Bauchens Lived: February 2, 1882 - May 7, 1967 Worked as: editor Worked In: United States by Kristen Hatch Anne Bauchens was a St. Louis, Missouri native who, at the age of twenty, moved to New York City in the hope of becoming an actor and was hired by William de Mille as a typist and stenographer in 1912. Five years later, she traveled to Hollywood to help William’s brother, producer-director Cecil B. De Mille, edit We Can’t Have Everything (1918). DeMille is quoted in the Los Angeles Herald Examiner as saying about her that “though a gentle person, professionally she is as firm as a stone wall . We argue over virtually every picture” (III 3). Nonetheless, she was the only person the director would permit to edit his films and continued working with him until his death in 1959.

  • 1 Jeanie Macpherson May 18, 1888
    Jeanie Macpherson May 18, 1888 - August 26, 1946 Also: Jeanie MacPherson Worked as : director, film actress, screenwriter The United States Jeanie Macpherson is best known as Cecil B. DeMille’s screenwriter since she collaborated exclusively with the director-producer from 1915, through the silent era and into the sound era, in a working relationship lasting fifteen years. Like many other women who became established as screenwriters, she began her career as a performer, first as a dancer and then as an actress. [Fig. 1 Jeanie Macpherson, early screen role BYU. WFP-MAC16 ] Her numerous acting screen credits begin in 1908, and nearly thirty of the short films she appeared in for the Biograph Company, most directed by D.W. Griffith, are extant. At Universal Pictures, Macpherson began to write, but due to a fluke she also directed the one film that she wrote there—a one-reel western, The Tarantula (1913), according to a 1916 Photoplay article (95). Although Anthony Slide cannot confirm the success of the film, both he and Charles Higham retell the story that when the film negative was destroyed by accident the actress was asked to reshoot the entire motion picture just as she recalled it since the original director was unavailable (Slide 1977, 60; Higham 1973, 38). [Fig. 2 Jeanie Macpherson d/w/a The Tarantula (1913) AMPAS. WFP-MAC18] There are several versions of how after Jeanie Macpherson, out of work after The Tarantula, was hired by DeMille at the Jesse L. Lasky Feature Play Company. The most elaborate version is from Higham who describes Macpherson’s attempt to get an acting job as involving a series of battles between the two while the director was shooting Rose of the Rancho (1914) (38 – 40).

  • Sex, Soap, and Cinderella

Her employers not only required her to work to exhaustion, they degraded and humiliated her at every opportunity. They gave her rags to wear and did not allow her to wash herself or comb her hair. Then they laughed at her dirtiness and called her names. Having no place to go and no other skills, the young girl quietly tolerated their cruelty, did her best to please them, and dreamed of escape. One night her dream came true. Through the forces of magic, the girl was groomed and dressed beautifully and carried in a coach to a royal ball. The prince was struck by her beauty and asked her to dance. He was so entranced that he kept her with him throughout the evening. The next day, after the magic was over, the young girl was back in the home of the three cruel women. They treated her even more harshly because of the impertinence she had shown by appearing at the ball.
