  • Ronald Davis Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts
    Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts in America Southern Methodist University The Southern Methodist University Oral History Program was begun in 1972 and is part of the University’s DeGolyer Institute for American Studies. The goal is to gather primary source material for future writers and cultural historians on all branches of the performing arts- opera, ballet, the concert stage, theatre, films, radio, television, burlesque, vaudeville, popular music, jazz, the circus, and miscellaneous amateur and local productions. The Collection is particularly strong, however, in the areas of motion pictures and popular music and includes interviews with celebrated performers as well as a wide variety of behind-the-scenes personnel, several of whom are now deceased. Most interviews are biographical in nature although some are focused exclusively on a single topic of historical importance. The Program aims at balancing national developments with examples from local history. Interviews with members of the Dallas Little Theatre, therefore, serve to illustrate a nation-wide movement, while film exhibition across the country is exemplified by the Interstate Theater Circuit of Texas. The interviews have all been conducted by trained historians, who attempt to view artistic achievements against a broad social and cultural backdrop. Many of the persons interviewed, because of educational limitations or various extenuating circumstances, would never write down their experiences, and therefore valuable information on our nation’s cultural heritage would be lost if it were not for the S.M.U. Oral History Program. Interviewees are selected on the strength of (1) their contribution to the performing arts in America, (2) their unique position in a given art form, and (3) availability.

  • Literary Gentlemen and a Girl Like I
    Literary Gentlemen and a Girl Like I On a train ride from New York to California, popular screenwriter Anita Loos sketched out a farce based on a gold-digging blonde capable of manipulating any man she wished. Gentlemen Prefer Blondes: An Intimate Diary of a Professional Lady became the second best selling novel of 1926, and its first printing in December 1925 sold out overnight. This exhibit places Loos’s cultural phenomenon into the context of the literary world of the 1920s. The exhibition was curated by Anne Peale and Jay Satterfield. This exhibition was on display in the Class of 1965 Galleries from December 15, 2011 - February 29, 2012. Materials Included in the Exhibition Case Title Materials included Case 1.
