Staff members present: Frank S. Tavenner, Jr., counsel; Thomas W. Beale, Sr., assistant counsel; Louis J. Russell, senior investigator; William A. Wheeler, investigator; and John W. Carrington, clerk. Mr. Wood. Let the committee be in order, please. Let the record disclose that the entire subcommittee is present. Are you ready to proceed, Mr. Counsel ? Mr. Tavenner. Yes, sir. Mr. Wood. Who do you have first ? Mr. Tavenner. Mrs. Ellenore Abowitz. Mr. Wood. Mrs. Abowitz. Mr. Kenny. I am representing Mrs. Abowitz. She doesn't seem to have arrived yet. She will be here shortly, I'm sure. Mr. Wood. Does it interfere with your program, Mr. Counsel ? If so we will take a short recess until she comes. Mr. Tavenner. What is your judgment of the time she will arrive? Mr. Kenny. I talked to her earlier this morning and she lives quite a distance out and she was on her way down. I expect her any moment. Mr. Tavenner. If that is so then, Mr. Chairman, I suggest that we wait a few minutes. Mr. Wood. Very well. The committee will stand in recess for 5 minutes to see if she will arrive in that time, and if not we will proceed with something else. (A short recess was here taken.) Mr. Wood. Let the committee be in order. Mr. Tavenner. Mr. Chairman, I am informed that the witness has had transportation difficulties and it may be as much as a half hour before she arrives. In light of that I think we may as well proceed with another witness. 1639 1640 COMMUNISM IN MOTION-PICTURE INDUSTRY Mr. Wood. Very well. Whom do you call ? Mr. Tavenner. Mr. Robert L. Richards. Mr. Wood. Are you Mr. Robert Richards ? Mr. Richards. I am. Mr. Wood. Raise your right hand, sir, and be sworn. You do sol- emnly swear that the evidence you give this subcommittee will be the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help you God ? Mr. Richards. I do. TESTIMONY OF ROBERT L. RICHARDS, ACCOMPANIED BY HIS COUNSEL, ROBERT KENNY Mr. Wood. Have a seat, sir. Are you represented by counsel? Mr. Richards. I am. Mr. Wood. Will counsel please identify himself for the record? Mr. Kenny. Robert Kenny, of Los Angeles. Mr. Wood. You may proceed, Mr. Tavenner. Mr. Tavenner. You are Mr. Robert Richards ? Mr. Richards. I would like to raise a question. I don't know whether I am being on television here or not, but I see the television cameras here. Are they in operation ? Mr. Tavenner. It is assumed that they are. I never know when they are and when they are not. Mr. Richards. Is there any question as to my privilege of being on this television or not ? Mr. Tavenner. I should think if you have any objection to it, the chairman and the committee will consider your objection and act upon it. Mr. Richards. Yes; I think I do, if you have no objection to my objection. Mr. Wood. That is a qualified objection. If you object Mr. Richards. Yes; I do. (Discussion off the record among members of the committee.) Mr. Wood. It is the decision of the committee that your objections will be respected Mr. Richards. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Wood. And you will not appear on any television that is in the room. Mr. Richards. Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Tavenner. Will you instruct them that the television be cut off? Mr. Wood. The television people are instructed not to televize this witness. Mr. Tavenner. Mr. Richards Mr. Walter. Just a minute, Mr. Tavenner. Mr. Wood. In view of the fact that television facilities are—may I have attention, please? Mr. Rtciiards. I beg your pardon. Mr. Wood. That the television facilities are permitted in the hear- ing room through the courtesy of the committee I am sure that it isn't necessary for me to caution them with respect to the directive that has been given now that the witness is not to be shown on tele- vision. COMMUNISM IN MOTION-PICTURE INDUSTRY 1641 Mr. Richards. I hadn't understood, Mr. Chairman, I'm sorry. This means, then, that my face will not appear on television but my voice is that correct? will ; Mr. Wood. Your voice will appear whether the television is in here or not. Mr. Kichards. That is true. I understand. Mr. Wood. There is no difference in the character of the testimony that you will give here now than it would be if these television cameras were not in the room. Mr. Kichards. I understand perfectly, sir. Mr. Wood. Is that satisfactory ? Mr. Richards. Yes, indeed. By all means. Mr. Wood. You may proceed, Mr. Counsel. Mr. Tavenner. Will you please state your full name, Mr. Rich- ards. Mr. Richards. Robert Loring Richards. Mr. Tavenner. When and where were you born. Mr. Richards ? Mr. Richards. I was born in New York City, March 1, 1909. Mr. Tavenner. What is your profession or occupation ? Mr. Richards. I am a writer. Mr. Tavenner. How long have you been a writer ? Mr. Richards. I have been a writer since about 1936. Mr. Tavenner. Will you state to the committee briefly what your educational training has been for the practice of your profession ? Mr. Richards. Yes. I attended the Horace Mann School in New York City—high school—and graduated from Harvard College in 1932. Mr. Tavenner. Will you state briefly what your record of em- ployment has been ? Mr. Richards. I worked for Time, Inc., for about 7 years. I was a writer for and subsequently producer of the March of Time radio pro- gram. I was an associate producer of the March of Time on the screen. That is, the documentary—the newsreel. I left Time mag- azine and worked in an advertising agency for about a year, in radio. I came out to Hollywood about the end of 1942, did some radio, joined the merchant marine, subsequently went into motion pictures. I have been employed for about—I am a little vague on dates—about 4 years quite steadily, writing screen plays in the motion-picture in- dustry. Mr. Tavenner. When did you state that you came to Hollywood? Mr. Richards. I think it was the end of 1942. I am not sure. Mr. Tavenner. Well, in 1942 the Communist Party line, as it was recognized in this country, was the establishment of a second front. Of course, anyone had the right to sponsor the establishment of a second front. We are interested now in learning the extent to which the Communist Party line, which had consisted of that principle, was advocated by organizations influenced by the Communist Party. If you have any information on that subject the committee would like to have it. Mr. Richards. I must—I shall—I will decline to answer that ques- tion on the grounds of possible incrimination and claim my privileges under the fifth amendment of the Constitution of the United States to so den}7—to so decline to answer that. 1642 COMMUNISM IN MOTION-PICTURE industry Mr. Tavexxer. "Well, there appeared an article in tlie September 14, 1942, issue of the Daily Worker to the effect that the League of American Writers was sponsoring the immediate opening of a second front, and I hand you the article in question. It appears from this article that your name was endorsed to this plan as sponsored by the League of American "Writers.

Frink, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2016 Ornette Coleman (1930-2015) is frequently referred to as not only a great visionary in jazz music but as also the father of the jazz avant-garde movement. As such, his work has been a topic of discussion for nearly five decades among jazz theorists, musicians, scholars and aficionados. While this music was once controversial and divisive, it eventually found a wealth of supporters within the artistic community and has been incorporated into the jazz narrative and canon. Coleman’s musical practices found their greatest acceptance among the following generations of improvisers who embraced the message of “free jazz” as a natural evolution in style.

    ABSTRACT Title of Document: FROM THE BELLY OF THE HUAC: THE RED PROBES OF HOLLYWOOD, 1947-1952 Jack D. Meeks, Doctor of Philosophy, 2009 Directed By: Dr. Maurine Beasley, Journalism The House Un-American Activities Committee, popularly known as the HUAC, conducted two investigations of the movie industry, in 1947 and again in 1951-1952. The goal was to determine the extent of communist infiltration in Hollywood and whether communist propaganda had made it into American movies. The spotlight that the HUAC shone on Tinsel Town led to the blacklisting of approximately 300 Hollywood professionals. This, along with the HUAC’s insistence that witnesses testifying under oath identify others that they knew to be communists, contributed to the Committee’s notoriety. Until now, historians have concentrated on offering accounts of the HUAC’s practice of naming names, its scrutiny of movies for propaganda, and its intervention in Hollywood union disputes. The HUAC’s sealed files were first opened to scholars in 2001. This study is the first to draw extensively on these newly available documents in an effort to reevaluate the HUAC’s Hollywood probes. This study assesses four areas in which the new evidence indicates significant, fresh findings. First, a detailed analysis of the Committee’s investigatory methods reveals that most of the HUAC’s information came from a careful, on-going analysis of the communist press, rather than techniques such as surveillance, wiretaps and other cloak and dagger activities. Second, the evidence shows the crucial role played by two brothers, both German communists living as refugees in America during World War II, in motivating the Committee to launch its first Hollywood probe.

    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 Great Gatsby

    BEYOND THE YELLOW BRICK ROAD: Sesquicentennial Visions of Kansas and the Great Plains in Film edited and introduced by Thomas Prasch he place of Kansas’s most iconic film image in the American cinematic imaginary was reaffirmed at this year’s Academy Awards, when the evening closed with “Somewhere Over the Rainbow,” sung by the students of Staten Island’s PS22 Chorus. At the same time, for viewers looking in that performance for the Kansas roots of the refrain, what was clearest was the increasing deterritorialization of the tune: it was no longer about Kansas, but about New York City public-school kids finding their way onto a Hollywood stage. This deterritorializing Ttrend is obvious elsewhere, too: look for the song on YouTube, and the first video that currently pops up is Israel “IZ” Kamakawiwo‘ole’s Hawaiian cover of the tune, which turns it into a paean to his island’s scenery. And note that one of the most regular places to find Oz citations (usefully gathered by the Internet Movie Database at http://www. imdb.com/title/tt0032138/movieconnections) is in the science-fiction genre, in universes far, far away from Kansas. In 2010 alone, for example, such references to the classic film appeared in Fringe, Dollhouse, and Star Wars: The Clone Wars and as a hook in ads for the new fantasy video game Rift. Even David Grossman, the Israeli novelist, worked an Oz reference into his new novel, To the End of the Land (2010), where it is Haifa, not Kansas, that Dorothy is not in anymore (p.
