  • Born As Harrold Jese Pereira De Faria Harold Peary Was Born in San
    Harold Peary, 1908-1985 Harold Peary: born as Harrold Jese Pereira de Faria Harold Peary was born in San Leandro, California, on July 25, 1908, the son of Portuguese immigrants. By the age of eleven, he was singing at local weddings and other events. He began his radio career as a thirteen year old singer billed as The Oakland Tribune’s Boy Caruso, and by 1928 he was a regular on San Francisco radio, featured on an NBC program called The Spanish Serenader. This was a role he parodied in the classic Gildersleeve episode, The Mystery Voice in which Gildersleeve becomes romantic Brazilian baritone Ri- cardo. In 1929 he had his own radio show and got his big break in 1935 when he was cast in the Fibber McGee and Molly Show as Throckmorton Gildersleeve. A busy actor in the 1930’s in 1935, he went to Chicago, making the rounds of many major programs. He was equally adept at comedy and drama, and he was adept at accents and dialect, and his vocal range was so flex- ible that he often played several parts in the same program. Around 1937 he began playing various characters on Fibber McGee and Molly, including Chinese laundry- man Wu Fu, and a blustery, stuffed shirt named Gildersleeve, the most pompous name writer Don Quinn could think of. Continuity and consistency were not considerations, so Peary played many variations on the Gildersleeve, who was occasionally known as George, but later settled into a permanent role as the McGees’ next door neighbor and adopted one of the most memorable names of radio, Throckmorton P.

  • The History of CBS Hollywood Television Studios
    1 The History of CBS Hollywood Television Studios By Bobby Ellerbee and Eyes Of A Generation.com Preface and Acknowledgement This is a unique look at the events that preceded the need for CBS television studios in Hollywood and, as in New York, the radio division is leading the way. This project is somewhat different than the prior reports on the New York studios of CBS and NBC, for two reasons. The first reason is that in that in those reports, television was brand new and being developed through the mechanical function to an electronic phenomenon. Most of that work occurred in and around their headquarters in New York. In this case, both CBS and NBC are at the mercy of geological and technological developments outside their own abilities…namely the Rocky Mountains and AT&T. The second reason has to do with the success of the network’s own stars. Their popularity on radio soon translated to public demand once “talking pictures” became possible. That led many New York based radio stars to Hollywood and, in a way, Mohammed had to come to the mountain. This story is told to the best of our abilities, as a great deal of the information on these facilities is now gone…like so many of the men and women who worked there. I’ve told this as concisely as possible, but some elements are dependent on the memories of those who were there many years ago, and from conclusions drawn from research. If you can add to this with facts or photos, please contact me as this is an ongoing project.

  • ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: SONIC MOVIE MEMORIES: SOUND, CHILDHOOD, and AMERICAN CINEMA Paul James Cote, Doctor of Philosoph
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: SONIC MOVIE MEMORIES: SOUND, CHILDHOOD, AND AMERICAN CINEMA Paul James Cote, Doctor of Philosophy, 2016 Dissertation directed by: Professor Jonathan Auerbach, Department of English Literature Though the trend rarely receives attention, since the 1970s many American filmmakers have been taking sound and music tropes from children’s films, television shows, and other forms of media and incorporating those sounds into films intended for adult audiences. Initially, these references might seem like regressive attempts at targeting some nostalgic desire to relive childhood. However, this dissertation asserts that these children’s sounds are instead designed to reconnect audience members with the multi-faceted fantasies and coping mechanisms that once, through children’s media, helped these audience members manage life’s anxieties. Because sound is the sense that Western audiences most associate with emotion and memory, it offers audiences immediate connection with these barely conscious longings. The first chapter turns to children’s media itself and analyzes Disney’s 1950s forays into television. The chapter argues that by selectively repurposing the gentlest sonic devices from the studio’s films, television shows like Disneyland created the studio’s signature sentimental “Disney sound.” As a result, a generation of baby boomers like Steven Spielberg comes of age and longs to recreate that comforting sound world. The second chapter thus focuses on Spielberg, who incorporates Disney music in films like Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977). Rather than recreate Disney’s sound world, Spielberg uses this music as a springboard into a new realm I refer to as “sublime refuge” - an acoustic haven that combines overpowering sublimity and soothing comfort into one fantastical experience.

Lawrence Zelenak Duke Law School Draft of 7/19/06 FROM THE GREAT GILDERSLEEVES TO HOMER SIMPSON: SIX DECADES OF THE FEDERAL INCOME TAX IN SITUATION COMEDIES Often the very manner in which the sitcoms have sought mass acceptance reveals more about our culture than a bolder, more idiosyncratic, more aesthetically defensible vision might. Through sitcoms we can trace the hopes and concerns of the majority of Americans over the past forty-five years.1 The television situation comedy–the most popular American art form–is a virtual textbook that can be “read” to help lay bare the mores, images, ideals, prejudices, and ideologies shared– whether by fiat or default–by the majority of the American public. There is much history that can and must be rescued from the sitcom.2 The sitcom is a representational form, and its subject is American culture. It dramatizes national types, styles, customs, issues and language.3 This new model of “television as a cultural forum” fits the experience of television more accurately than others we have seen applied. We begin with the observation, based on careful textual analysis, that television is dense, rich, and complex rather than impoverished.4 1Gerard Jones, Honey, I’m Home!: Sitcoms, Selling the American Dream 6 (1992).

Weaver ii ABSTRACT Radio Plays are a form of classic American Theatre that relies on dialogue, music and sound effects to audibly enhance a story with no visual component. While these types of plays are no longer at the forefront of modern day theatrical experience, I believe these popular plays of the mid-20th century are derivative of an oral storytelling tradition and significant to American entertainment culture.
