    It’s a Mad, Bad, Glad, iPad World Friar Bob Hutmacher, ofm I’m writing on the first day of meteorological summer and my second idea for this Legionnaire article are memory flashes of Johnathan Winters, Milton Berle, Ethel Merman, Mickey Rooney, Buddy Hackett, Sid Caesar, Spencer Tracy, Dick Shawn, Phil Silvers, Edie Adams, Terry Thomas, Carl Reiner, Jimmy Durante and many more in the 1963 film, It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World. The first thoughts I had were of last night’s tornado in the western suburbs, U.S. bishops treading in dangerous waters, more mass shootings than even a twisted mind could imagine, a new Covid variant rampant throughout the world and a steamer trunk full of bad news. However ~ I believe we need a break from all the anxiety of the plague behaviors (as I call them), interior damage, negative vibes and scary thoughts of a divided country and divided Church ~ and smile with delight at some of our Catholic behavior. A number of years ago Travelers Aid operated out of our lower level to assist the lost and forsaken of our city. There was a period when this social service kindly offered free sandwiches and coffee on Friday afternoon to anyone and everyone in need. And anyone and everyone flocked to the basement of St. Peter’s! Word on the street spreads quickly and when it was Sandwich Friday here, there was always a line down into the basement. I happened to be in confessional #12 that day, the most frequented one we have in church.

  • The Jimmy Durante Show
    CD 4 A: Vacations - March 24, 1948 THE JIMMY DURANTE SHOW B: Guest: Rose Marie – March 31, 1948 Program Guide by Elizabeth McLeod CD 5 A: Guest: Dorothy Lamour – April 7,1948 One of the great advantages of being a radio star in the medium’s Golden Era was B: Guest: President Harry Truman – April 14, the relative anonymity it afforded. A performer might entertain tens of millions 1948 of listeners every week, and yet walk the streets in broad daylight without being annoyed by fans. In radio it was the voices, not the faces, that mattered. But there CD 6 were exceptions. A: Guest: Lou Clayton and Eddie Jackson – April 21, 1948 Some radio favorites had a background in stage or film, and their faces were part B: Guest: Lucille Ball – April 28, 1948 and parcel of their appeal. Eddie Cantor, Bob Hope, and even Fred Allen had Lucille Ball physical attributes that matched their voices…and made them easy to pick out in CD 7 any crowd. And there was no performer who could boast a more perfect match A: Transportation Problems – May 5, 1948 of face and voice -- or was more instantly recognizable -- than the beloved Old B: A President’s Wife – May 12, 1948 Schnozzola, Jimmy Durante. CD 8 In a career that extended from the first decade of the 20th Century to the 1970s, A: The Small Businessman – May 19, 1948 Jimmy Durante had two trademarks that transcended every medium in which B: Choice Of Champions – May 26, 1948 he worked. Whether you knew him from his nightclub act, motion pictures, phonograph records, radio programs, or television, you needed no master of ceremonies to tell you who Elizabeth McLeod is a journalist, author, and broadcast historian.

  • Carmen Mirandaesqueness” Stylizing Gender/En-Gendering Style
    Cercles 14 (2005) “CARMEN MIRANDAESQUENESS” STYLIZING GENDER/EN-GENDERING STYLE FERNANDO DE SOUSA ROCHA University of North Florida To Susana Cid-Hazard, for all her gaiety In “Bananas Is My Business,” a documentary on Carmen Miranda’s life and her cross-cultural trajectory, Helena Solberg casts a drag-queen to perform the Brazilian bombshell, the lady in the tutti-frutti hat, the soon-to-be Hollywood star. Nothing more appropriate, one might think, since Carmen Miranda has presently become a queer icon. With her exaggerated, outlandish costumes, Carmen Miranda appears to be a very appropriate figure for the contemporary notion of queerness and, consequently, for the possibility of thinking gender through the lens of performativity. As Judith Butler suggests, the very concept of gender appears to be entangled with that of performativity. Nonetheless, if one may say, tongue-in-cheek, that Carmen Miranda is the queen of queens, isn’t that precisely because we must somehow also throw the notion of style into the mix? The purpose of my paper is to examine the connections between gender, performativity, and style in the figure of the Hollywoodian Carmen Miranda. With that purpose in mind, I shall first discuss recent theories on gender and style in order to evince a possible crossroads between the two notions. My contention is that, if both gender studies and stylistics have moved towards a contextualized mode of thought that avoids essentialism, either in the form of a gender ontology or in that of a textual identity that is the effect of “immanentist” readings, then we must not only see both gender and style as doings or performances, but also account for the interventions of style in the gender performative and of gender in the doing of style.

Bilko, M*A*S*H and the Heyday of U.S. Military Sitcoms (1955-75) Dennis Tredy 1 If the title of this paper quotes part of the refrain from Edwin Starr’s 1970 protest song, “War,” the song’s next line, proclaiming that war is good for “absolutely nothing” seems inaccurate, at least in terms of successful television sitcoms of from the 1950s to the 1970s. In fact, while Starr’s song was still an anti-Vietnam War battle cry, ground- breaking television programs like M*A*S*H (CBS, 1972-1983) were using laughter and tongue-in-cheek treatment of the horrors of war to provide a somewhat more palatable expression of the growing anti-war sentiment to American audiences.

  • Pioneer Film Director Honored / HENRY KING
    The Museum of Modern Art 'iWest 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019 Tel. 956-6100 Cable: Modemart NO. 57 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE PIONEER FILM DIRECTOR HONORED SEVEN WEEK RETROSPECTIVE FOR HENRY KING CO-SPONSORED BY MUSEUM AND DIRECTORS GUILD OF AMERICA "...the most underpublicized filmmaker in Hollywood. This tall, lean, handsome, urbane, but unflamboyant model of a corporation president makes film hits so easily, so efficiently, and so calmly that he is not news in a community of blaring trumpets, crashing cymbals and screaming egos." -Frank Capra Henry King, one of the founding fathers of American film, who began his career early in the century, remains today one of the legendary figures in Hollywood, and though he preserves his privacy, his films such as "The Song of Bernadette," "Twelve O'clock High" and "The Gunfighter" speak for themselves, and these and other major works will be part of a seven week retrospective given in King's honor by New York's Museum of Modern Art in association with the Directors Guild of America. The Virginia-born director, who has specialized, like D.W. Griffith and John Ford, in Americana themes since his first classic, "Tol'able David," and later with "State Fair", "In Old Chicago," "Jesse James" and "Alexander's Ragtime Band," will make a trip from the West Coast to New York to participate in the opening of this program. On June 29 and 30, he will address the Museum audiences, although he seldom makes public appearances. While he contributed to Hollywood's worldwide reputation, King, who recognized such early superstars as Richard Barthelmess, Ronald Colman and Gary Cooper and gave them their first leading roles on the screen, has managed to retain his relative anonymity in an ostentatious environment.

  • Musical Movie Memories Discussion Guide for 1940S Music Run DVD Film Segments on a TV Or Projection TV System to an Assembled Group
    DiMusicalscussion Guide forMovi 1920s-30se MusicMemories Run film segments one at a time on a TV or projection system. Pause on the 4 questions at the end of each so the viewers can respond and share their memories woken by the film. This Discussion Guide suggests additional questions to aid the session leader. All films in this special program are filled with music, singers and bands from the late 1920s through the 1930s. Music has proven helpful in bringing smiles and distant memories even to seniors with alzheimers. Unlike regular volumes of Movie Memories with their vast variety, there may not be that much to discuss with some of the films. You can tell by reactions whether the viewers enjoy the films. Standard questions which can be applied to each segment are: Did you like the song? Do you like jazz and swing bands? Do you remember ___________? Would you like to watch the film again? What is your favorite song from this era? Do you want to see more Bing Crosby musicals? Etc. Do not hesitate to ask these simple questions again and again!
