Reviews Keith Loria, on theatermania.com, called the show “a tender glimpse into the Hineses’ rise to fame and a touching tribute to a brother.” Benjamin Tomchik wrote in Broadway World, that the show “seems determined not only to love the audience, but to entertain them, and it succeeds at doing just that! While Tappin' Thru Life does have some flaws, it's hard to find anyone who isn't won over by Hines showmanship, humor, timing and above all else, talent.” In The Washington Post, Nelson Pressley wrote, “’Tappin’ is basically a breezy, personable concert. The show doesn’t flinch from hard-core nostalgia; the heart-on-his-sleeve Hines is too sentimental for that. It’s frankly schmaltzy, and it’s barely written — it zips through selected moments of Hines’s life, creating a mood more than telling a story. it’s a pleasure to be in the company of a shameless, ebullient vaudeville heart.” Maurice Hines Is .

  • MGM 70 YEARS: REDISCOVERIES and CLASSICS June 24 - September 30, 1994
    The Museum of Modern Art For Immediate Release May 1994 MGM 70 YEARS: REDISCOVERIES AND CLASSICS June 24 - September 30, 1994 A retrospective celebrating the seventieth anniversary of Metro-Goldwyn- Mayer, the legendary Hollywood studio that defined screen glamour and elegance for the world, opens at The Museum of Modern Art on June 24, 1994. MGM 70 YEARS: REDISCOVERIES AND CLASSICS comprises 112 feature films produced by MGM from the 1920s to the present, including musicals, thrillers, comedies, and melodramas. On view through September 30, the exhibition highlights a number of classics, as well as lesser-known films by directors who deserve wider recognition. MGM's films are distinguished by a high artistic level, with a consistent polish and technical virtuosity unseen anywhere, and by a roster of the most famous stars in the world -- Joan Crawford, Clark Gable, Judy Garland, Greta Garbo, and Spencer Tracy. MGM also had under contract some of Hollywood's most talented directors, including Clarence Brown, George Cukor, Vincente Minnelli, and King Vidor, as well as outstanding cinematographers, production designers, costume designers, and editors. Exhibition highlights include Erich von Stroheim's Greed (1925), Victor Fleming's Gone Hith the Hind and The Wizard of Oz (both 1939), Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), and Ridley Scott's Thelma & Louise (1991). Less familiar titles are Monta Bell's Pretty Ladies and Lights of Old Broadway (both 1925), Rex Ingram's The Garden of Allah (1927) and The Prisoner - more - 11 West 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019-5498 Tel: 212-708-9400 Cable: MODERNART Telex: 62370 MODART 2 of Zenda (1929), Fred Zinnemann's Eyes in the Night (1942) and Act of Violence (1949), and Anthony Mann's Border Incident (1949) and The Naked Spur (1953).

  • Sherborne School and the Oscars
    ‘And the Academy Award goes to…’ Sherborne School and the Oscars Sherborne School is currently making its presence felt on the big screen. Not only has the School recently provided the set for two new films, The Imitation Game (2014) and Far from the Madding Crowd (2015), but two Old Shirburnian actors can currently be seen in two hugely successful films, Hugh Bonneville (d 1977-1981) in Paddington (2014) and Charlie Cox (c 1996-2001) in The Theory of Everything (2014). And, of course, Benedict Cumberbatch, himself the son of an Old Shirburnian, is portraying Old Shirburnian Alan Turing (h 1926-1931) in The Imitation Game (2014). The 87th Academy Award nominations for the 2015 Oscars see The Imitation Game (2014) with eight nominations, including Best Picture and Best Actor, and The Theory of Everything (2014) with one nomination for Best Picture. But we will have to wait until 22 February 2015 to find out who will win a coveted Oscar. Jeremy Irons (b 1962-1966) is the only Old Shirburnian to date known to have won an Oscar. This was for his portrayal of Claus von Bülow in Reversal of Fortune (1990) in which he starred alongside Glenn Close. However, with a number of new films in the pipe line - La Corrispondenza (2015), High-Rise (2015), Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016), and Race (2016) – he will no doubt be adding a few more awards to his mantelpiece in the future. It was while he was at Sherborne that Irons first took to the stage, appearing as Mr Puff in the 1966 production of The Critic.

  • Kim Novak: Barely Recognizable — Face Shocks Oscar Viewers
    WWW.HOLLYWOODLIFE.COM KIM NOVAK: BARELY RECOGNIZABLE — FACE SHOCKS OSCAR VIEWERS Uh oh! It looks like Kim Novak had some work done! The iconic actress made an appearance at the 2014 Oscars on March 2 where she joined Matthew McConaughey to present two awards on stage. See what a plastic surgeon had to say about her new look and tell us what you think! 81-year-old iconic actress Kim Novak shocked the Oscars audience with her dramatically different face. She could barely move her mouth and that definitely didn’t help her present the awards. Read more about Kim’s new look, what surgeons had to say, and the Twitter fiasco that occurred after her appearance. Kim is known for her amazing role in Alfred Hitchcock’s 1958 film Vertigo. She even won two Golden Globes back in the 1950s as World Film Favorite and Most Promising Newcomer. She looked absolutely gorgeous in the 50s, but I guess Kim didn’t feel beautiful as she grew older. When she went up to announce the winners for the Oscars with Matthew, she could barely move her mouth. Her face was very stiff and it didn’t look natural at all! Expert Commentary Board Certified Beverly Hills Plastic Surgeon Dr. William Bruno tellsHollywoodLife.com exclusively: “In her heyday, in Alfred Hitchcock films, 81-year-old actress Kim Novak was a great beauty. While it is not fair to compare an 81-year-old woman to look as she did in her 20′s or 30′s, Kim Novak’s face at the Oscar’s bears no resemblance to the face of her youth.

  • An Exploration of Salvador Dalí's “Society Portraits”
    ©Rev. Robert Keffer, 2021 Moguls, Matrons, and Aristocracy: An Exploration of Salvador Dalí’s “Society Portraits” from the 1940’s Through the 1960’s By Rev. Robert Keffer, OSB What is the Society Portrait? How do art critics and historians define the society portrait? The first definition that might come to mind may be pejorative: a slick, glossy and flattering depiction of an unattractive person, who happened to be blessed with money and pedigree. Many would consider the society portrait a hack job; something the artist creates to pay the bills and/or to gain entré into a higher level of society. This criticism has been applied especially to the portraiture styles of the late 19th century, and the continuation of their style to the current time: portraiture that is academic/realist, and follows mainly the techniques of John Singer Sargent and his imitators. Current revisionist criticism, however, will show that the society portrait can and often does have lasting artistic merit. Consider, for instance, the famous Portrait of Consuelo, Duchess of Marlborough and Her Son, Lord Ivor Spencer-Churchill (1906), by Giovanni Boldini. Grace Glueck in her New York Times article, “Society Portraits of Giovanni Boldini”, considers this famous work nothing more than “a frothy meringue… an almost erotic tableau in which a beautiful small boy sprawls against the slender body of his vivacious mother, who is regally ensconced on a Louis XV settee, and clad in a long splash of shimmering satin.”1 However, Ms. Glueck, in the same article, states that Boldini could also do work of real character with “his vibrant 1897 rendering of a world-weary Whistler, for instance, lounging against a chair back, his head supported by an eloquently ‘artistic’ hand and a wonderful self-portrait of 1911 in which, his portly little body half-turned to the viewer, he seems to regard with jaded eyes a rogue's gallery of subjects visible only to him.”2 Boldini aside, history refutes the theory that the society portrait has always been and always will be empty flattery and vain show.
