Music and effects soundtrack added by Raytone Productions, 1930 Left to protect Alice’s house, Julius the cat soon falls into a vat of home-brew liquor in the basement and drinks himself into oblivion. The rats, free to play, entertain themselves by dancing, playing phonograph records, cavorting with the player piano, and using the bathtub for a swimming pool. Soon the party gets completely out of control. (Why Alice was brewing alcohol in her basement remains an open question.) “Speaking of his studio in later years, Disney was fond of saying that ‘it all started with a little mouse’ – but in fact the foundation was laid in 1924 by a little girl.” – Merritt & Kaufman, Walt in Wonderland Young Walt Disney broke into the movie business in Kansas City, as an illustrator for a company that produced glass slides and advertising shorts for theaters. Along with his buddy Fred Harman, he struck out on his own, hoping to jump-start their new company with a partly-animated comical short called Laugh-O-Grams, produced for the influential local theater owner, Frank L. Newman. This was successful enough that they were able to secure funding to hire additional animators, including now- legendary pioneers Ubbe “Ub” Iwerks, Hugh Harman, Rudolph Ising, and Friz Freleng.

  • Gary Cooper ~ 51 Films
    Gary Cooper ~ 51 Films Frank James (later Gary) Cooper was born on 7 May 1901 in Helena, Montana. From the silent era through to 1961, Cooper built a solid reputation by playing strong, manly, distinctly American roles in a natural, understated manner. The son of English parents who had settled in Montana, in the years 1909-12 he lived and was educated in Dunstable, England. Otherwise, from the age of five, he spent his summers on his father's ranch in northern Montana and his winters in Helena, where for some time he was a near neighbour of Myrna Williams (later Loy). After finishing school he worked on the family ranch until 1922, when he enrolled at Grinnell College, Iowa to study art. After eighteen months of that, and some time in Chicago and Helena, fortune took his parents (and so him) to Los Angeles. After weeks of struggling to find gainful employment, he met two Montana friends, Jim Galeen and Jim Calloway, who were working as film extras and stunt riders in low-budget Westerns. They introduced him to another Montana cowboy, rodeo champion Jay "Slim" Talbot, who hooked Cooper up with a casting director. (Talbot later worked as Cooper's stuntman and stand-in for over thirty years, becoming a close friend and hunting companion in the process.) Cooper accepted work as a film extra for five dollars a day and a stunt rider for twice that amount with the intention of saving enough money to pay for a professional art course. But his appearance in 1926 Western The Winning Of Barbara Worth attracted sufficient notice that his acting career began to take off.

  • BUSTER KEATON Salvador Sáinz
    BUSTER KEATON Salvador Sáinz Prólogo La figura del gran Buster Keaton está actualmente un poco olvidada ya que las últimas generaciones de espectadores no es demasiado cinéfila y está más acostumbrada al cine (?) de la última hornada. El cinéfilo refinado, sibarita, está en crisis y los amantes del cine mudo padecen de sequía en los “video-clubs”, donde muy rara vez y con cuentagotas se encuentran aquellos títulos míticos que tanto nos interesan. Años atrás, sobretodo a partir de los años 30, Keaton sufrió un eclipse debido al culto excesivo que se hacía entonces al gran Charles Chaplin. Por si fuera poco, en España, se le conocía por un horrible apodo, “Pamplinas”, del cual prefiero no hablar por que lo considero sumamente vulgar. Después están los falsos mitos que siempre han rodeado la filmografía de Buster Keaton. Por ejemplo, que estuvo encerrado varios años en un manicomio lo cual es completamente falso. Si es cierto que tenía una excesiva afición al juego y a la bebida que terminaron por destruir su reputación y su carrera. Puesto en la “lista negra” por Louis B.Mayer, ningún estudio quería darle trabajo condenándolo a un ostracismo injusto. Aquí se ha escrito mucha (mala) literatura al respecto. Mayer y Keaton tuvieron problemas personales y diferencias respecto a lo que debía ser un buen film cómico sonoro. El tiempo le ha dado la razón a éste, porque los cómicos que el zar Mayer aupó hoy no son más que un recuerdo. ¿Quién se acuerda hoy de Eddie Cantor o de Jimmy Durante por citar a alguien? Al llegar el sonoro a Keaton le reprocharon tener una voz ronca, muy grave, y Mayer le quiso marginar para proteger a Jimmy Durante, quién tenía una voz aún más ronca, y pretendieron encerrarle en las comedias de boulevard importadas desde Broadway en vez de desarrollar películas más estrictamente cinematográficas que los talkies de aquella década.
