Classic!By The Grey PiperThis is possibly the third copy I have bought of this book over the years. It is achingly funny.Different episodes of American history are written up in the style of various popular authors of the past. It helps if the reader is passingly familiar with those authors, but not necessary to get the humor. For example, the story of the Boston Tea Party told in the style of Ring Lardner -- you don't really need to know Lardner to get a laugh out of a colonial rube in the city not only speaking a deformed type of Brooklynese, but actually writing in the same way ("Me and the missus is walking aroun givin the town the double O O.") And the story of the Whiskey Rebellion written as one of Thornton Burgess' Peter Rabbit-type stories is sheer brilliance ("And sure enough, when Old Mister Smoke had cleared away, there was a Revenue Officer lying as dead as you please on the ground!")And so on and so on.Get it if you can. It's a classic, it's brilliant, it's some of the funniest stuff you will ever read. Mr. H. G. Wells, in his "Outline of History," was of necessity forced to omit the narration of many of the chief events in the history of these United States. Such omissions I have in this brief volume endeavored to supply. And as American history can possibly best be written by Americans and as we have among us no H. G. Wells, I have imagined an American history as written conjointly by a group of our most characteristic literary figures. Apologies are due the various authors whose style and, more particularly, whose Weltanschauung I have here attempted to reproduce; thanks are due The Bookman for permission to reprint such of these chapters as appeared in that publication. I give both freely. Donald Ogden Stewart. He was a well known writer, playwright and critic, and a member of the famed Algonquin Round Table. The Round Table met for lunch and drinks (mostly drinks) in New York at the Algonquin Hotel, and was composed of a varied assortment of writers and wits, including Dorothy Parker, Robert Benchley, George Kaufman, Ernest Hemingway, and Groucho Marx, among others. Stewart was best known for his work in film script writing, with an Academy Award to his credit for the screenplay for “The Philadelphia Story” in 1940. Among the scads of books he wrote, most with some sort of humorous theme, this one was one of his most popular. It was a take-off on “The Outline of History” by H. G. Wells, a runaway best seller at the time. Produced by Cygnus-Digital.com About the AuthorDonald Ogden Stewart lives in England with his wife Ella Winter.

  • Ruth Prawer Jhabvala's Adapted Screenplays
    Absorbing the Worlds of Others: Ruth Prawer Jhabvala’s Adapted Screenplays By Laura Fryer Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of a PhD degree at De Montfort University, Leicester. Funded by Midlands 3 Cities and the Arts and Humanities Research Council. June 2020 i Abstract Despite being a prolific and well-decorated adapter and screenwriter, the screenplays of Ruth Prawer Jhabvala are largely overlooked in adaptation studies. This is likely, in part, because her life and career are characterised by the paradox of being an outsider on the inside: whether that be as a European writing in and about India, as a novelist in film or as a woman in industry. The aims of this thesis are threefold: to explore the reasons behind her neglect in criticism, to uncover her contributions to the film adaptations she worked on and to draw together the fields of screenwriting and adaptation studies. Surveying both existing academic studies in film history, screenwriting and adaptation in Chapter 1 -- as well as publicity materials in Chapter 2 -- reveals that screenwriting in general is on the periphery of considerations of film authorship. In Chapter 2, I employ Sandra Gilbert’s and Susan Gubar’s notions of ‘the madwoman in the attic’ and ‘the angel in the house’ to portrayals of screenwriters, arguing that Jhabvala purposely cultivates an impression of herself as the latter -- a submissive screenwriter, of no threat to patriarchal or directorial power -- to protect herself from any negative attention as the former. However, the archival materials examined in Chapter 3 which include screenplay drafts, reveal her to have made significant contributions to problem-solving, characterisation and tone.

  • The Political History of Classical Hollywood: Moguls, Liberals and Radicals in The
    The political history of Classical Hollywood: moguls, liberals and radicals in the 1930s Professor Mark Wheeler, London Metropolitan University Introduction Hollywood’s relationship with the political elite in the Depression reflected the trends which defined the USA’s affairs in the interwar years. For the moguls mixing with the powerful indicated their acceptance by America’s elites who had scorned them as vulgar hucksters due to their Jewish and show business backgrounds. They could achieve social recognition by demonstrating a commitment to conservative principles and supported the Republican Party. However, MGM’s Louis B. Mayer held deep right-wing convictions and became the vice-chairman of the Southern Californian Republican Party. He formed alliances with President Herbert Hoover and the right-wing press magnate William Randolph Hearst. Along with Hearst, Will Hays and an array of Californian business forces, ‘Louie Be’ and MGM’s Production Chief Irving Thalberg led a propaganda campaign against Upton Sinclair’s End Poverty in California (EPIC) gubernatorial election crusade in 1934. This form of ‘mogul politics’ was characterized by the instincts of its authors: hardness, shrewdness, autocracy and coercion. 1 In response to the mogul’s mercurial values, the Hollywood community pursued a significant degree of liberal and populist political activism, along with a growing radicalism among writers, directors and stars. For instance, James Cagney and Charlie Chaplin supported Sinclair’s EPIC campaign by attending meetings and collecting monies. Their actions reflected the economic, social and political conditions of the era, notably the collapse of US capitalism with the Great Depression, the New Deal, the establishment of trade unions, and the emigration of European political refugees due to Nazism.

  • ST. JAMES THEATER (Originally Erlanger Theater), 246-256 West 44Th Street
    Landmarks Preservation Commission December 15, 1987; Designation List 198 LP-1374 ST. JAMES THEATER (originally Erlanger Theater), 246-256 West 44th Street. Built 1926-27; architects, Warren & Wetmore. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 1015, Lot 54. On June 14 and 15, 1982, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the St. James Theater (originally Erlanger Theater) and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 70). The hearing was continued to October 19, 1982. Both hearings had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Eighty witnesses spoke or had statements read into the record in favor of designation. One witness spoke in opposition to designation. The owner, with his representatives, appeared at the hearing, and indicated that he had not formulated an opinion regarding designation. The Commission has received many letters and other expressions of support in favor of this designation. DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS The St. James (built as the Erlanger) Theater survives today as one of the historic playhouses that symbolize American theater for both New York and the nation. Built in 1926-27, the St. James was designed by the prominent firm of Warren & Wetmore as the last Broadway theater erected for Abraham Erlanger. Abraham Erlanger had been a principal in the infamous Klaw & Erlanger Theatrical Syndicate, which had dominated the American theater industry for several decades on either side of the turn of the century. After the break-up of the Syndicate, Klaw and Erlanger went their separate ways, and each built theaters named for themselves.

  • Sophisticated Ladies. Omaggio a George Cukor
    COMUNICATO STAMPA Il Museo Nazionale del Cinema presenta al Cinema Massimo Sophisticated Ladies. Omaggio a George Cukor Da lunedì 9 a lunedì 30 settembre 2013 Cinema Massimo - via Verdi, 18, Torino Il Museo Nazionale del Cinema rende omaggio, da lunedì 9 a lunedì 30 settembre 2013, a George Cukor – maestro hollywoodiano della commedia sentimentale – con una rassegna dal titolo Sophisticated Ladies. Omaggio a George Cukor. La rassegna, che è una selezione dei film presentati all’edizione 2013 del Festival di Locarno, è un progetto del Festival del Film Locarno, curato da Roberto Turigliatto e realizzato in collaborazione con il Museo Nazionale del Cinema e la Cinemathéque Suisse. La rassegna sarà inaugurata lunedì 9 settembre alle ore 16.30, presso la Sala Tre del Cinema Massimo, dalla proiezione del film Febbre di vivere. Evento speciale, mercoledì 11 settembre alle ore 20.30, presso la Sala Tre del Cinema Massimo, con Carlo Chatrian, direttore del Festival del Film Locarno, che presenta al pubblico il film Scandalo a Filadelfia. Ingresso: 6.00/4.00/3.00 euro. Apostrofato a ragione il regista delle donne, George Cukor ha rappresentato meglio di chiunque altro sullo schermo l'immagine femminile, conferendogli una grazia, uno stile ed un’ironia mai visti prima. È stato uno dei grandi maestri della "sophisticated comedy", in cui si è distinto per uno stile vivace ed elegante, e per una disinvolta direzione degli attori (in particolare delle attrici), ma ha eccelso anche in altri generi, come il dramma e il musical. Cukor fu nominato all’Oscar cinque volte, vincendo per My fair lady nel 1964.
