    The American Film Musical and the Place(Less)Ness of Entertainment: Cabaret’S “International Sensation” and American Identity in Crisis

    humanities Article The American Film Musical and the Place(less)ness of Entertainment: Cabaret’s “International Sensation” and American Identity in Crisis Florian Zitzelsberger English and American Literary Studies, Universität Passau, 94032 Passau, Germany; fl[email protected] Received: 20 March 2019; Accepted: 14 May 2019; Published: 19 May 2019 Abstract: This article looks at cosmopolitanism in the American film musical through the lens of the genre’s self-reflexivity. By incorporating musical numbers into its narrative, the musical mirrors the entertainment industry mise en abyme, and establishes an intrinsic link to America through the act of (cultural) performance. Drawing on Mikhail Bakhtin’s notion of the chronotope and its recent application to the genre of the musical, I read the implicitly spatial backstage/stage duality overlaying narrative and number—the musical’s dual registers—as a means of challenging representations of Americanness, nationhood, and belonging. The incongruities arising from the segmentation into dual registers, realms complying with their own rules, destabilize the narrative structure of the musical and, as such, put the semantic differences between narrative and number into critical focus. A close reading of the 1972 film Cabaret, whose narrative is set in 1931 Berlin, shows that the cosmopolitanism of the American film musical lies in this juxtaposition of non-American and American (at least connotatively) spaces and the self-reflexive interweaving of their associated registers and narrative levels. If metalepsis designates the transgression of (onto)logically separate syntactic units of film, then it also symbolically constitutes a transgression and rejection of national boundaries. In the case of Cabaret, such incongruities and transgressions eventually undermine the notion of a stable American identity, exposing the American Dream as an illusion produced by the inherent heteronormativity of the entertainment industry.

Lähdekirjallisuudesta kerättyä tietoa käsiteltiin tutkielman teoriaosuudessa, minkä jälkeen empiirinen osuus selvitti, kuinka kyseisiä menetelmiä sovelletaan käytännössä nykyenglannissa. Tämän selvittämiseksi käytiin manuaalisesti läpi korpusaineisto, joka koostui isobritannialaisen Total Film -elokuvalehden yhden vuoden aikana julkaistuista numeroista. Elokuvajournalismissa käytettävä kieli valittiin tutkimuksen kohteeksi kirjoittajan henkilökohtaisen kiinnostuksen vuoksi sekä siksi, että elokuva on paitsi merkittävä, myös jatkuvasti kehittyvä taiteen ja populaarikulttuurin muoto. Niinpä tämän tutkielman tarkoitus on myös tutustuttaa lukija sellaiseen sanastoon, jota alaa käsittelevä lehdistö nykypäivänä Isossa-Britanniassa käyttää.

    Arturo Toscanini and Don Gillis in Rehearsal, Don Gillis Collection, University of North Texas

    Arturo Toscanini and Don Gillis in rehearsal, Don Gillis Collection, University of North Texas. Reproduced with permission. MARK MCKNIGHT, SUSANNAH CLEVELAND Rediscovering “Toscanini: The Man Behind the Legend” The following article is based on the authors’ presentation at the ARSC Conference in Austin, TX, April 2005. The focus is on the Don Gillis Collection, which the University of North Texas (UNT) Music Library acquired after Gillis’s death in 1978. Gillis, a longtime associate of Arturo Toscanini, served as the conductor’s assistant and the producer for the NBC Symphony broadcast concerts from 1944 until they ended ten years later. The photographs that illustrate this article are from the collection and are reproduced with permission. __________________________________________________________________________________ he story of Arturo Toscanini’s rise to fame as one of history’s most celebrated con- ductors is well known. Having spent the first several years of his professional life in T the opera pit, Toscanini then gained a reputation for his symphonic conducting, serving as principal conductor of the New York Philharmonic from 1929 to 1936. When he left that post and retired to his native Italy, his American fans believed they would never again see the maestro conduct here. At the age of 70, however, when most individuals are happily settled into retirement, Toscanini returned to the podium, this time in a completely new and, in some ways controversial, forum, as head of the recently organized NBC Symphony. He would remain with the orchestra until his final departure in 1954. Toscanini died three years later in New York, just two months before his ninetieth birthday.

  • Broadway Melody

    Broadway Melody

    BROADWAY MELODY: The beginning of Hollywood musicals This film review features a discussion on the relationship of film criticisms written at the time of the film’s release and others, which were written years later. 10 pages long. BROADWAY MELODY: The beginning of Hollywood musicals Broadway Melody's release on February 1, 1929 captures the attention of such issues as sound replacing silence and technology rather then the usual racial and political overtones like a lot of other genres. Most musicals had very simplistic plots: boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy sings song, and boy gets girl. Although there was racial discrimination like the depiction of black speciality acts, such as the Nicholas Brothers and the Berry Brothers, as janitors etc., the story lines were none violent, free of political issues and always ended on a happy note pretty much until West Side Story. By 1960 the musical was but a thing of the past with only a few films a year. All this being said, it is important to understand the context of the genre in order to formulate criticism other then saying that the shots are simple and that the acting, in general, was lousy. As one analyses a musical such as Broadway Melody of 1929 one finds that the art of the movie musical is found in the star's ability to sing, act and dance effectively. By far the most frequent comment about Broadway Melody is that of it's relationship with Broadway and it's backstage on stage look at vaudeville performance, an activity that most of all the audiences of the 10's and 20's could relate to.

    `1 | P a g e "The History of NBC New York Television Studios, 1935-1956" Volume 1 of 2 By Bobby Ellerbee And Eyes Of A Generation.com Preface and Acknowledgement This is the first known chronological listing that details the conversions of NBC’s Radio City studios at 30 Rockefeller Plaza in New York City. Also included in this exclusive presentation by and for Eyes Of A Generation, are the outside performance theaters and their conversion dates to NBC Television theaters. This compilation gives us the clearest and most concise guide yet to the production and technical operations of television’s early days and the network that pioneered so much of the new medium. As you will see, many shows were done as “remotes” in NBC radio studios with in-house mobile camera units, and predate the official conversion date which signifies the studio now has its own control room and stage lighting. Eyes Of A Generation, would like to offer a huge thanks to the many past and present NBC people that helped, but most especially to Frank Merklein (NBC 1947-1961) Joel Spector (NBC 1965-2001), Dennis Degan (NBC 2003 to present), historian David Schwartz (GSN) and Gady Reinhold (CBS 1966 to present), for their first hand knowledge, photos and help.

The three performances that I examine are: George M. Cohan’s production of Little Johnny ii Jones (1904), Eleanor Powell’s “Tribute to Bill Robinson” in Honolulu (1939), and Terry- Toons’ cartoon, “The Dancing Shoes” (1949). These performances share an obvious move away from the use of blackface makeup within a minstrel context, and a move towards the masked enjoyment in “black culture” as it contributes to the development of a uniquely American form of entertainment. In bringing these three disparate performances into dialogue I illuminate the many ways in which American entertainment has been built upon an Africanist aesthetic at the same time it has generally disparaged the black body.
