  • The World's Largest and Most Extraordinary Collection
    For Immediate Release: THE WORLD’S LARGEST AND MOST EXTRAORDINARY COLLECTION OF SIGNED HOLLYWOOD PHOTOGRAPHS WILL BE OFFERED AT JULIEN’S AUCTIONS IN LOS ANGELES ON SEPTEMBER 23, 2016 Harold Lloyd’s Rogues Gallery of Exclusive Hollywood Autographed Photographs Los Angeles, California – (September 15, 2016) – Julien’s Auctions, the world-record breaking auction house to the stars, will present one of the world’s most extraordinary collections of autographed Hollywood photographs — Harold Lloyd’s Rogues Gallery — on Friday, September 23, 2016 in Los Angeles. The collection features nearly 200 rare, signed photographs from Hollywood’s Golden Era. The auction will take place at the highly-anticipated Icons & Idols: Hollywood auction event that weekend at Julien’s Auction Gallery in Los Angeles. The Rogues Gallery Autograph Collection is the most extensive and unique autograph collection amassed by the silent film star Harold Lloyd and is comprised of the most significant figures of Hollywood’s “Golden Age.” This one-of-a-kind collection is a time capsule of Hollywood, Americana and the politics of the day. “The King of Daredevil Comedy,” Harold Lloyd is best remembered today as the young man dangling desperately from a clock tower in the 1923 classic, “Safety Last.” At the height of his career, Lloyd was one of the most popular and highest-paid stars of his time. He made more films than his contemporaries Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton combined. With hits like his 1922 film “Grandma’s Boy,” Lloyd became a strong force in bringing about the advent of the “feature-length” film. Harold Lloyd’s acting career rose to prominence during the silent film era and spanned 34 years of active filmmaking, over 200 comedies and one 1928 Academy Award nomination.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy.

  • Tarnished Angels
    The Dark Vision of Douglas Sirk 38 NOIR CITY I SPRING 2016 I filmnoirfoundation.org Imogen Sara Smith n a hot night in New Orleans, in a half-lit, elegantly shabby apartment, two troubled souls share a bottle of cheap wine and an intimate, confessional conversation. Next door, a raucous costume party is in full swing, revelers dancing like hopped-up zombies to relentless Dixieland jazz. The man and woman speak tenderly about betrayals and disillusion- O ment, building to a kiss that is jarringly interrupted by Death— a guy in a leering skull mask who bursts in from the party. This scene, from Douglas Sirk’s underappreciated drama The Tarnished Angels (1958), dramatizes one of the director’s key themes: people struggling for authentic connection, surrounded by an oppressive, sinister masquerade of happi- ness. Sirk is best known for baroquely stylized Technicolor melodramas, once dismissed as sudsy kitsch but now embraced by many cinephiles for their formalist rigor and their subversive notes of unease. The work of a European intellectual often saddled with projects he disdained, Sirk’s films are complex, oblique, and visually incisive. One of the few German refugee filmmakers who didnot specialize in film noir, Sirk shared his fellow exiles’ gimlet eye for his adopted country. His lush melodramas strike a dissonant note, resonating from the hollowness behind the false front of the American “good life.” Like his sophisticated noir films of the 1940s, they reveal an insatiable hunger bred by idealized visions of plenty, and the paradoxical seduc- tion of death in a willfully complacent society.

  • Who Made Hollywood Into Hollywood?
    26 February 2012 | MP3 at voaspecialenglish.com Who Made Hollywood Into Hollywood? AP SARAH LONG: I'm Sarah Long. STEVE EMBER: And I'm Steve Ember with PEOPLE IN AMERICA in VOA Special English. Today we tell about three people who helped make Hollywood the center of the movie industry. (MUSIC) SARAH LONG: When you hear the name Hollywood, you probably think of excitement, lights, cameras and movie stars. Famous actors are not the only important people in the entertainment business. Directors and producers are important, too. Today, Hollywood is full of producers and directors. However, very few are as famous and successful as Hollywood's first motion picture businessmen, Cecil B. DeMille, Samuel Goldwyn and Louis Mayer. (MUSIC) STEVE EMBER: Cecil Blount DeMille was born in Ashfield, Massachusetts in Eighteen-Eighty-One. Both his parents were writers of plays. His father died when he was twelve years old. His mother kept the family together by establishing a 2 theater company. Cecil joined the company as an actor. He continued working in his mother's theater company as an actor and a manager until nineteen thirteen. That year, he joined Jesse L. Lasky and Samuel Goldfish to form the Jesse L. Lasky Feature Play Company. Goldfish later changed his name to Samuel Goldwyn. AP Entrance to the MGM studios in Santa Monica, California SARAH LONG: The three men started making motion pictures immediately. They loved working in the movie business. They were deeply interested in its creative and financial possibilities. DeMille, Lasky and Goldfish began working on a movie version of the popular American western play "Squaw Man." DeMille urged that the movie be made in the real American West.
