    THE BOX OFFICE CHECK-UP of 1935

    1 to tell the world!* IN 1936 THE BOX OFFICE CHECK-UP of 1935 An annual produced by the combined editorial and statistical facilities of Motion Picture Herald and Motion Picture Daily devoted to the records and ratings of talent in motion pictures of the year. QUIGLEY PUBLISHING COMPANY THE PUBLIC'S MANDATE by MARTIN QUIGLEY 1 The Box Office Check-Up is intended to disclose guidance upon that single question which in the daily operations of the industry over- shadows all others; namely, the relative box office values of types and kinds of pictures and the personnel of production responsible for them. It is the form-sheet of the industry, depending upon past performances for future guidance. Judging what producers, types of pictures and personalities will do in the future must largely depend upon the record. The Box Office Check-Up is the record. Examination of the record this year and every year must inevitably dis- close much information of both arresting interest and also of genuine im- portance to the progress of the motion picture. It proves some conten- tions and disproves others. It is a source of enlightenment, the clarifying rays of which must be depended upon to light the road ahead. ^ Striking is the essential character of those pictures which month in and month out stand at the head of the list of Box Office Cham- pions. Since August, 1934, the following are among the subjects in this classification: "Treasure Island," "The Barretts of Wimpole Street," "Flirta- tion Walk," "David Copperfield," "Roberta," "Love Me Forever," "Curley

    Issue 8 | Movie: A Journal of Film Criticism | 23 Powell and Loy in Manhattan Melodrama – apparent from their first scene together – that resulted in their being cast as husband and wife in the long-running Thin Man series. Manhattan Melodrama was released in May 1934, towards the end of the so-called ‘pre-Code’ period. In fact, the term ‘pre-Code’ is a slight misnomer. Under the supervision of Will Hays, the Motion Picture Production Code was writ- ten in 1930, but at first it lacked an effective mechanism for enforcement. Although Hays hired Joseph I Breen as pub- lic relations man for the Code as early as October 1930 (Leff & Simmons 1990: 14), for some time Breen was unable to prevent Hollywood producers defying the Code. Between 1930 and 1934, Hollywood studios, seeking to counteract Manhattan Melodrama the slump in admissions brought about by the Depression, readily produced films whose content went beyond what W.S. Van Dyke, 1934 Hays and Breen considered suitable for American audiences – primarily in terms of sex and violence.

  • MOVIE NIGHT, at Least in Its Current Form

    MOVIE NIGHT, at Least in Its Current Form

    #9 silent comedy, slapstick, music hall. 1 ‘ and lots more! All articles © Matthew Ross, 2015 Subscriptions and article submissions to [email protected] 2 Welcome to issue 9, which will be the final edition of MOVIE NIGHT, at least in its current form. Don't panic, we're not going anywhere, but it's time for a bit of a shake up, including a new name. The next issue will be the tenth since we started in the summer of 2011, and that seemed as good a milestone as any to make some changes. First of all, the name. Originally, MOVIE NIGHT was named after the classic Charley Chase two-reeler of that name. That film is a love-letter to silent cinema spectatorship, in line with what I wanted to achieve. Further- more, Chase is one of my favourite of all the more forgotten comics, and one who this magazine aims to cele- brate. However... as a title and brand, MOVIE NIGHT also seems a bit generic. As time has gone on, I've become more aware of this, and have found that it is particularly hard to Google the mag effectively. In addition, I don't want to be restricted to movie comedy. What about music hall, vaudeville, radio and early television? All these had a part to play in the classic comedy era, both for the ca- reers of cinema stars and those of their own making. So, after umm-ing and ahh-ing, I’ve settled on a new name that I hope you’ll like.
