  • War on the Air: CBC-TV and Canada's Military, 1952-1992 by Mallory
    War on the Air: CBC-TV and Canada’s Military, 19521992 by Mallory Schwartz Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Doctorate in Philosophy degree in History Department of History Faculty of Arts University of Ottawa © Mallory Schwartz, Ottawa, Canada, 2014 ii Abstract War on the Air: CBC-TV and Canada‘s Military, 19521992 Author: Mallory Schwartz Supervisor: Jeffrey A. Keshen From the earliest days of English-language Canadian Broadcasting Corporation television (CBC-TV), the military has been regularly featured on the news, public affairs, documentary, and drama programs. Little has been done to study these programs, despite calls for more research and many decades of work on the methods for the historical analysis of television. In addressing this gap, this thesis explores: how media representations of the military on CBC-TV (commemorative, history, public affairs and news programs) changed over time; what accounted for those changes; what they revealed about CBC-TV; and what they suggested about the way the military and its relationship with CBC-TV evolved. Through a material culture analysis of 245 programs/series about the Canadian military, veterans and defence issues that aired on CBC-TV over a 40-year period, beginning with its establishment in 1952, this thesis argues that the conditions surrounding each production were affected by a variety of factors, namely: (1) technology; (2) foreign broadcasters; (3) foreign sources of news; (4) the influence

The host of Earthbound was Fred Langer. The show's executive producer was Robert Petch. Ed And Ross Thu 5:00-5:30 p.m. 4 Jul-25 Sep 1957 Thu 5:00-5:30 p.m., 2 Jul-24 Sep 1959 In this half-hour, weekly broadcast for children ages eight to fourteen, Ed McCurdy and Ross Snetsinger lived in a magical house. Snetsinger's hand puppet pal, Foster, led them through the building's sliding panels into secret passages. They all enjoyed themselves by making up secret societies, by inventing and building gadgets, with music led by singer and guitarist McCurdy, and with games. They also invited friends, such as jugglers and acrobats, to come down to their place from upstairs and perform. John Kennedy produced Ed and Ross in Toronto. Ed McCurdy and Ross Snetsinger and Foster were all well known to the CBC's young television audiences. The Ed Evanko Show Sat 7:00-7:30 p.m., 24 Jun-22 Jul 1967 Singer and actor Ed Evanko starred in his own musical variety show from Winnipeg in the summer of 1967.

  • Russian Writers and the Doukhobors
    RUSSIAN WRITERS AND THE DOUKHOBORS George Woodcock 0.NE DAY WHEN ι WAS TALKING to Mavor Moore about his childhood, he recollected going in his parents' house to answer a ring on the doorbell. "And there stood Princess Kropotkin." Princess Kropotkin was actually Alexandra ( Sasha), the daughter of the famous Russian anarchist and geographer, Peter Kropotkin; after her father's death near Moscow in 1921 she had migrated to the United States and lived in New York. The friendship she sustained with Mavor's mother, the actress Dora Mavor Moore, was a continuation of that which had existed since the mid-1880s between her father and James Mavor, the distin- guished Scottish Canadian political economist who was Dora's father, and whose memoir, My Windows on the Street of the World (1923), is one of the most in- teresting of Canadian autobiographies. It was a friendship that would involve a number of important Russian writers and intellectuals and that led to the coming of the Doukhobors to Canada. Kropotkin and James Mavor first met in November 1886 when Kropotkin had gone to Edinburgh to lecture on anarchism. He stayed with James Stuart Blackie, the Classical scholar and translator of Aeschylus, and among the people he met on that occasion were Patrick Geddes, Fridtjof Nansen (then a young man studying in Scotland), and James Mavor, who was then professor of political economy at St. Mungo's College in Glasgow; he would not take up his post at the University of Toronto until 1892. The meeting stayed vividly in Mavor's mind, and he wrote in his autobiography what is perhaps the best portrait we have of the anarchist prince at this time, when he was forty-two and at the height of his vigour.
