“The Yellow Ticket” with live accompaniment by Alicia Svigals and Marilyn Lerner Sunday, March 31 2019 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM Recital Hall, School of Music University of South Carolina The Yellow Ticket (Der Gelbe Schein), a 1918 German silent film, follows the double life of Lea, a young Jewish woman who leaves a Polish shtetel to attend medical school in Tsarist Russia only to become entrapped in the prostitution industry. Starring the legendary icon of the silent film era Pola Negri, The Yellow Ticket is remarkably progressive for its time: it is the first to explore Jewish discrimination and anti-Semitic restrictions in Tsarist Russia. It also includes a rare footage of the Jewish quarter in Warsaw. Alicia Svigals has composed a new live score for the film, which she will perform at the screening along with internationally acclaimed Canadian jazz pianist Marilyn Lerner. Svigals is the founder of the Grammy- winning Klezmatics and is considered by many to be the world’s leading klezmer violinist and a driving force behind klezmer music revival. Lerner performs to acclaim internationally, from her native Montreal to Havana, Jerusalem, Amsterdam and Ukraine. The work spans the world of jazz, creative improvisation, klezmer, and 20th-century classical music. Event Sponsors: The Kate and Irwin Kahn Jewish Community Center, The Columbia Jewish Film Festival, Jewish Studies, The Anne Frank Partnership, Department of Anthropology, European Studies, Film and Media Studies, The College of Music, The Rhodos Fellows Program, Russian Studies, South Carolina Council on the Holocaust and The Walker Institute of International and Area Studies.

Raoul Walsh to Attend Opening of Retrospective Tribute at Museum
The Museum of Modern Art jl west 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019 Tel. 956-6100 Cable: Modernart NO. 34 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE RAOUL WALSH TO ATTEND OPENING OF RETROSPECTIVE TRIBUTE AT MUSEUM Raoul Walsh, 87-year-old film director whose career in motion pictures spanned more than five decades, will come to New York for the opening of a three-month retrospective of his films beginning Thursday, April 18, at The Museum of Modern Art. In a rare public appearance Mr. Walsh will attend the 8 pm screening of "Gentleman Jim," his 1942 film in which Errol Flynn portrays the boxing champion James J. Corbett. One of the giants of American filmdom, Walsh has worked in all genres — Westerns, gangster films, war pictures, adventure films, musicals — and with many of Hollywood's greatest stars — Victor McLaglen, Gloria Swanson, Douglas Fair banks, Mae West, James Cagney, Humphrey Bogart, Marlene Dietrich and Edward G. Robinson, to name just a few. It is ultimately as a director of action pictures that Walsh is best known and a growing body of critical opinion places him in the front rank with directors like Ford, Hawks, Curtiz and Wellman. Richard Schickel has called him "one of the best action directors...we've ever had" and British film critic Julian Fox has written: "Raoul Walsh, more than any other legendary figure from Hollywood's golden past, has truly lived up to the early cinema's reputation for 'action all the way'...." Walsh's penchant for action is not surprising considering he began his career more than 60 years ago as a stunt-rider in early "westerns" filmed in the New Jersey hills.

Abstract Grotesque Subjects: Dostoevsky and Modern Southern Fiction, 1930-1960 by Benjamin T. Saxton As a reassessment of the southern grotesque, this dissertation places Flannery O’Connor, Carson McCullers, and William Faulkner in context and conversation with the fiction of Fyodor Dostoevsky. While many southern artists and intellectuals have testified to his importance as a creative model and personal inspiration, Dostoevsky’s relationship to southern writers has rarely been the focus of sustained analysis. Drawing upon Mikhail Bakhtin’s deeply positive understanding of grotesque realism, I see the grotesque as an empowering aesthetic strategy that, for O’Connor, McCullers, and Faulkner, captured their characters’ unfinished struggles to achieve renewal despite alienation and pain. My project suggests that the preponderance of a specific type of character in their fiction—a physically or mentally deformed outsider—accounts for both the distinctiveness of the southern grotesque and its affinity with Dostoevsky’s artistic approach. His grotesque characters, consequently, can fruitfully illuminate the misfits, mystics, and madmen who stand at the heart—and the margins—of modern southern fiction. By locating one source of the southern grotesque in Dostoevsky’s fiction, I assume that the southern literary imagination is not directed incestuously inward toward its southern past but also outward beyond the nation or even the hemisphere. This study thus offers one of the first evaluations of Dostoevsky’s impact on southern writers as a group. Acknowledgements I am very thankful for my professors at Rice University for their intellectual stimulation and continued support. My advisor, Colleen Lamos, has offered me guidance and encouragement on every step of the way.

Films Saved from Twentieth Century
Hf NO. 41 The Museum of Modern Art FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 11 West 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019 Tel. 955-6100 Cable: Modemart TOM MIX, CLARA BOW, AND OTHER EARLY STARS ON MUSEUM SCREEN "Riders of the Purple Sage" and "Just Tony," two early silent films of Tom Mix, and "Call Her Savage," starring Clara Bow, the early sex siren, will be part of a special series of "rescued" films to be shown at The Museum of Modern Art. The program, starting April 10, 1971, consists of Twentieth Century-Fox films preserved by the Museum, which have not been seen here since their original release. "Riders of the Purple Sage," a 1925 Zane Grey romance, was made by Fox four times between 1914 and 1941. Of the Tom Mix version Eileen Bowser, Associate Curator in charge of the Museum's Film Archive, points out "the camera is permitted to get closer than usual to the actor: he avoided close-ups as a rule, not only to show off to the full his splendid riding and roping skills, but also because he made little pretense of being a dramatic actor." Mix, according to Mrs. Bowser, outranked all other cowboy stars in popularity. He made his debut on film in 1919, but prior to that time he had been a star of touring Wild West shows, and he was billed as "Tom Mix Ex-U. S. Marshall, Expert Roper and Bronco Buster." The second picture starring Mix, "Just Tony," is of 1922 vintage. Named after the celebrated horse Mix rode,which plays an important role in the story, it was made on location in Nevada in the Valley of the Eagles.
