  • MGM 70 YEARS: REDISCOVERIES and CLASSICS June 24 - September 30, 1994
    The Museum of Modern Art For Immediate Release May 1994 MGM 70 YEARS: REDISCOVERIES AND CLASSICS June 24 - September 30, 1994 A retrospective celebrating the seventieth anniversary of Metro-Goldwyn- Mayer, the legendary Hollywood studio that defined screen glamour and elegance for the world, opens at The Museum of Modern Art on June 24, 1994. MGM 70 YEARS: REDISCOVERIES AND CLASSICS comprises 112 feature films produced by MGM from the 1920s to the present, including musicals, thrillers, comedies, and melodramas. On view through September 30, the exhibition highlights a number of classics, as well as lesser-known films by directors who deserve wider recognition. MGM's films are distinguished by a high artistic level, with a consistent polish and technical virtuosity unseen anywhere, and by a roster of the most famous stars in the world -- Joan Crawford, Clark Gable, Judy Garland, Greta Garbo, and Spencer Tracy. MGM also had under contract some of Hollywood's most talented directors, including Clarence Brown, George Cukor, Vincente Minnelli, and King Vidor, as well as outstanding cinematographers, production designers, costume designers, and editors. Exhibition highlights include Erich von Stroheim's Greed (1925), Victor Fleming's Gone Hith the Hind and The Wizard of Oz (both 1939), Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), and Ridley Scott's Thelma & Louise (1991). Less familiar titles are Monta Bell's Pretty Ladies and Lights of Old Broadway (both 1925), Rex Ingram's The Garden of Allah (1927) and The Prisoner - more - 11 West 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019-5498 Tel: 212-708-9400 Cable: MODERNART Telex: 62370 MODART 2 of Zenda (1929), Fred Zinnemann's Eyes in the Night (1942) and Act of Violence (1949), and Anthony Mann's Border Incident (1949) and The Naked Spur (1953).

Descriptive Summary Creator: Various Title: Brooklyn Theater Playbills and Programs Collection Date Span: 1875-1972 Abstract: The Brooklyn Theater Playbills and Programs Collection consists of 800 playbills and programs for motion pictures, musical concerts, high school commencement exercises, lectures, photoplays, vaudeville, and burlesque, as well as the more traditional offerings such as plays and operas, all from Brooklyn theaters. Quantity: 2.25 linear feet Location: Brooklyn Collection Map Room, cabinet 11 Repository: Brooklyn Public Library – Brooklyn Collection Reference Code: BC0071 Scope and Content Note The 800 items in the Brooklyn Theater Playbills and Programs Collection, which occupies 2.25 cubic feet, easily refute the stereotypes of Brooklyn as provincial and insular. From the late 1880s until the 1940s, the period covered by the bulk of these materials, the performing arts thrived in Brooklyn and were available to residents right at their doorsteps. At one point, there were over 200 theaters in Brooklyn. Frequented by the rich, the middle class and the working poor, they enjoyed mass popularity. With materials from 115 different theaters, the collection spans almost a century, from 1875 to 1972. The highest concentration is in the years 1890 to 1909, with approximately 450 items.

  • Greater Mexico's Ramón Novarro
    Greater Mexico’s Ramón Novarro: Between Latin Lover and Aztec Prince Juan Sebastián Ospina León * Abstract: This article explores the construction of Ramón Novarro—the first Mexican actor to reach Hollywood stardom—as a “matinee idol” for women within multiple and competing, cultural discourses in Mexico City and Los Angeles. Looking at trade journals, periodicals catering to American, Mexican-American, and Mexican readerships, as well as Novarro’s starring role in Ben Hur: A Tale of the Christ (Fred Niblo, 1925), I trace the contradictory underpinnings shaping his star persona along class, ethnic, gendered, and sexed lines. Unlike that of Rudolph Valentino, Novarro’s star persona struck the right balance as an oddly de-eroticized Latin lover. This balance would allow for Novarro’s meteoric rise, within the growing nativist culture of mid-1920s Hollywood, against the backdrop of the Italian beau’s sudden fall. Keywords: Latino Hollywood, Ramon Novarro, latin lover, illustrated periodicals, star studies. ____________ El Ramón Novarro de Greater México: Entre latin lover y príncipe azteca Resumen: Este artículo explora la construcción de Ramón Novarro −el primer actor mexicano en alcanzar el estrellato en Hollywood − como matinee idol femenino en el marco discursos culturales antagónicos en las ciudades de México y Los Ángeles. A partir de periódicos dirigidos a públicos norteamericanos, mexicano-norteamericanos y mexicanos −y del estudio del rol del actor en Ben Hur (Fred Niblo, 1925) −, se identifican funciones contradictorias en la formación de la estrella en términos étnicos, de clase, de género y sexuales. A diferencia de Rudolph Valentino, Novarro encontró un punto medio como latin lover deserotizado que permitiría su ascenso dentro de la emergente cultura nativista del Hollywood de mediados de los años veinte, en contraste a la repentina caída del galán italiano.

L’star system en el cinema mut de Hollywood” es proposa fer conèixer els rostres més importants dels inicis de la fàbrica de somnis, resseguir la popularitat dels actors i les actrius segons la manera com se’n va fer publicitat o segons el gènere de pel·lícules que van protagonitzar. Al públic li agradava retrobar-se amb una gestualitat familiar quan entrava a la sala de cinema; i les estrelles van saber parlar amb un llenguatge emotiu, anant del plor a la rialla, recorrent els sentiments més purs perquè els espectadors de tot el món els reconeguessin com a propis. Encara que el sonor va iniciar-se l’any 1927, alguns creadors van seguir explorant els recursos del silenci, però en un parell d’anys gairebé totes les pel·lícules van deixar de ser mudes. De 1910 a 1929, en l’anomenada era del progrés a l’Amèrica del Nord, les ficcions de Hollywood van poder reflectir a la pantalla els canvis morals, socials i econòmics del nou segle sense pronunciar una paraula. Amb una creativitat desbordant, les stars, convertides en déus de la pantalla, van construir un univers d’extraordinària potència -i poesia- visual. L’exposició vol descobrir als espectadors del segle XXI la modernitat de les pel·lícules silents, convidar-los a meravellar-se davant unes imatges que bateguen i, per això, encara ressonen en els espectacles actuals de la nostra cultura audiovisual.

It focuses on Pierre Batcheff, a prominent popular cinema star in the 1920s, the French Valentino, and Pierr best-known to modern audiences for his role as the protagonist of the avant-garde film classic Un Chien St Pierre Batcheff andalou.

The book places Batcheff ar dom in 1920s French Cinema dom in 1920s French and Stardom in 1920s French Cinema in the context of 1920s popular cinema, with specific e reference to male stars of the period. It analyses the tensions he exemplifies between the ‘popular’ and the Ba ‘intellectual’ during the 1920s, as cinema – the subject of intense intellectual interest across Europe – was racked between commercialism and ‘art’. A number of the major t films are studied in detail: Le Double Amour (Epstein, cheff 1925), Feu Mathias Pascal (L’Herbier, 1925), Éducation de prince (Diamant-Berger, 1927), Le Joueur d’échecs (Bernard, 1927), La Sirène des tropiques (Etiévant and Nalpas, 1927), Les Deux Timides (Clair, 1928), Un Chien andalou (Buñuel, 1929), Monte-Cristo (Fescourt, 1929), and Baroud (Ingram, 1932). Key features: • The first major study of a French silent cinema star • Provides an in-depth analysis of star performance • Illustrated throughout with 50 B&W images, which include reproductions Phil from magazines of the period and production stills from a private collection. Powrie with Éric Rebillar Phil Powrie is Professor of Cinema Studies at the University of Sheffield.

Dette for­ Covered Wagon“), Robertson („Dr. Jekyll klarer, at han ganske pludselig tog afsked med and Mr. Hyde“) og Ingram („The Four Horse- filmen i 1932, da han var kun 39 år gammel. men of the Apocalypse“).

Ingram var på mange måder typisk for tyverne. Han kom ikke med noget budskab. Hans film tyngedes ofte af litterært arvegods.
