  • The Irish in American Cinema 1910 – 1930: Recurring Narratives and Characters
    The Irish in American Cinema 1910 – 1930: Recurring Narratives and Characters THOMAS JAMES SCOTT, University of Ulster ABSTRACT This paper will consider cinematic depictions of the Irish between 1910 and 1930. American cinema during these years, like those that preceded them, contained a range of stereotypical Irish characters. However, as cinema began to move away from short sketches and produce longer films, more complex plots and refined Irish characters began to appear. The onscreen Irish became vehicles for recurring themes, the majority of which had uplifting narratives. This paper will discuss common character types, such as the Irish cop and domestic servant, and subjects such as the migration narrative, the social reform narrative and the inter-ethnic comedy. It will also briefly consider how Irish depictions in the 1910s and 1920s compared to earlier representations. While the emphasis will be on films viewed at archives, including the University of California, Los Angeles Film and Television Archive, or acquired through private and commercial sellers, the paper will also reflect on some films that are currently considered lost. KEYWORDS Irish, cinema, representation, stereotypes, migrants. Introduction Feature Productions’ early ‘talkie’ Irish Fantasy (Orville O. Dull, 1929) should be considered important for two reasons. One, it is one of the earliest Irish-themed musicals to survive in its entirety. Two, it was produced by William Cameron Menzies, who would go on to win an Academy Award for his production design on MGM’s Gone With the Wind (Victor Fleming, 1939). The film centres on an old Irish man explaining the meaning of the three leaves of the shamrock to his uninformed grandson, who remarks ‘sure they’re only weeds.’ The first leaf signifies what the Irish are, ‘happy-go-lucky with warm blood in our hearts.’ The second symbolises the big hearts of the Irish who were forced to migrate to America.

Inarguably, she was one of the first major stars of the Hollywood film industry and one of the very few — female or male — able to sustain stardom for more than twenty years. Born Gladys Smith in Toronto, Canada, Mary Pickford became a stage actress at age six (published age “5”). She first appeared in motion pictures in one-reel- ers of American Biograph in the spring of 1909. In the 1910s the actress known as “Our Little Mary” quickly cemented her popularity through numerous films that coincided with the industry’s shift to Hollywood and using the actor as a personality for drawing audiences to the box- office.1 Pickford was promoted as “America’s Sweetheart,” “The World’s Sweetheart,” and, as poet Vachel Lindsay dubbed her, “The Queen of the Movies.”2 Her films for Famous Players in the late 1910s regularly netted more than a million dollars a year. In 1918 an article in American Magazine proclaimed what by then was obvious: “Our Little Mary” had become “the most popular motion

An Extraordinary Picture $10 REWARD FOR ANY LIE OR MISSTATEMENT FOUND IN FRANCHISE Franchise Has a Guaranteed Circulation in Excess of 10,000 Theatres This Sounds Like a Fairy Tale But It’s The Gospel Truth! A certain amateur film enthusiast, who as yet prefers to remain unknown, decided to take a flier in the picture bus- iness on his own account. He is an ardent movie fan, he thought he knew how pictures should be made and was willing to back his judgment at no matter what cost. By an arrangement with us he engaged Marshall Neilan to direct the picture between his regular First National releases. As money didn't matter, he engaged John Barrymore to play the leading role. Neilan had a free hand on the pro- duction. He assembled a fine cast, including Wesley Barry, Anna Q. Nilsson, Coleen Moore, J. Barney Sherry and other well known film players. The vehicle selected was Albert Payson Terhune's story, "THE LOTUS EATER," the tale of a young man of twenty-five who saw a woman for the first time when he stepped off the palatial yacht upon which his millionaire father's will had held him prisoner. In our opinion the picture is one of the most dramatic, most beautiful, and altogether most perfect productions yet made. Associated First National Pictures, Inc.

    FRANCES MARION AND MARY PICKFORD A Thesis Presented to The Faculty of California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in History by Christopher Zeidel March 2009 © 2009 Christopher Zeidel ii All Rights Reserved COMMITTEE MEMBERSHIP TITLE: Frances Marion and Mary Pickford iii AUTHOR: Christopher Zeidel DATE SUBMITTED: March 2009 COMMITTEE CHAIR: Thomas R. Trice, Associate Professor COMMITTEE MEMBER: Kathleen Cairns, Part Time Lecturer COMMITTEE MEMBER: John G. Snetsinger, Part Time Lecturer ABSTRACT Frances Marion and Mary Pickford Christopher Zeidel iv This thesis attempts to find out how Frances Marion and Mary Pickford survived the film industry by having a strong working relationship. It is revealed through letters, films, autobiographies, and newspapers that Marion and Pickford were good friends and had worked closely together for years. Their friendship helped them to work hard enough to continue making films between the late 1910s and 1920s. Unfortunately, this topic is challenging because there has not been enough historical work done to give us a completely clear and accurate picture of how Marion and Pickford helped one another to continue working in the movie industry. More information is available on their careers that have nothing to do with their relationship. There were ways in which they struggled to work and reasons for why they survived the industry that have nothing to do with their working relationship. TABLE OF CONTENTS v CHAPTER I.

These columns, often in the form of ‘letters,’ reveal how Pickford’s star image was in the midst of being constructed and adjusted both textually (in the columns and other print publications) and visually (in her films and photographic material in wide circulation). They also illustrate how early forms and discourses of movie star celebrity culture addressed serious matters such as gender politics in the largest sense and reflected on and conversed with social, political and economic trends in contemporary culture. As such, the discourse in the ‘Daily Talks’ attempts a precarious balance between Pickford’s working class girl origins and her successful businesswoman stature, between proto-feminist or progressive attitudes on gender and work, and a peculiar a-feminist, conservative reflex, which would become increasingly at odds with her own career and private life.

Not that they come alive in him; it is he who lives in them. —Walter Benjamin, Illuminations Silent film star Colleen Moore left a number of cinematic and his- torical legacies: the sixty-plus films in which she appeared, three published written works, thirty-six private scrapbooks, an exten- sive personal accumulation of photographs, her witness accounts in both Kevin Brownlow’s Hollywood documentary series and the San Simeon oral history project, and an impressive collection of priceless miniatures. She installed the latter in a massive doll- house that was constructed over a period of seven years by expert Hollywood set designers under the direction of Moore and her father. “Colleen Moore’s Fairy Castle,” as it is now called, traveled throughout the United States and Canada in the 1930s to raise Copyright © 2001 by Camera Obscura Camera Obscura 48, Volume 16, Number 3 Published by Duke University Press 113 114 • Camera Obscura money for children’s charities and has long been a popular attrac- tion at Chicago’s Museum of Science and Industry.
