    In 1925, eight actors were dedicated to a dream. Expatriated from their Broadway haunts by constant film commitments, they wanted to form a club here in Hollywood; a private place of rendezvous, where they could fraternize at any time.

  • Withers, Jane
    Jane Withers Titles: 24 Sources: 3 Stills: 15 Born: Atlanta Georgia; April 12th 1926 Autographed studio publicity shot Source: indeterminate website But her movie stories became more and more hackneyed and her characters variations of the perennial Miss Fixit. Too, she grew up quickly – being quite a big girl before her parts grew up to her. Almost any Jane Withers picture would be worth seeing for moments she would contribute but, by the later ones, the moments were farther and farther apart.” “She was born in Atlanta Georgia, April 12 1926, daughter of Walter Withers, an employee of a rubber manufacturing company, and a stage-struck mother, Lavinia Ruth Elble. Mrs Withers put her two-year old Jane in Atlanta’s Boston Academy to study tap, ballet and character dancing. Jane landed a regular spot on a radio show, “Aunt Sally’s Kiddie Review“, and later the child had her own show, billed as “Dixie’s Dainty Dewdrop“, doing imitations of W.C. Fields, Greta Garbo, ZaSu Pitts and Maurice Chevalier. All this inspired her mother to take Jane to Modelling a raincoat Source: indeterminate website Hollywood in 1932, and her first job there was a $7.50 a day bit part in “HANDLE WITH CARE“. After she menaced Shirley Temple in Halliwell’s Filmgoer’s Companion entry: “BRIGHT EYES“, her salary jumped to $150 a week in 1934. By 1937, she was sixth among “American child star of the thirties, more the box-office champs, earning $2500 a week. mischievous and less pretty than Shirley Temple.” They Had Faces Then – Super-Stars, Stars and Starlets of the 1930s entry: “Jane Withers started as the female equivalent of Jackie Searle, that mean kid, and as long as she was persecuting Shirley Temple and demanding a machine gun for Christmas, she was a joy.

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.

  • The Bluest Eye
    The Look of The Bluest Eye a pictorial aid to envisioning Morrison’s world Dr. Nick Melczarek ● ENGL 252 ● Aspects of the Novel LORAIN, OHIO, AND THE “GREAT MIGRATION” The Great Migration began in the 1910s and continued through World War II in the 1940s. During this thirty year time period, hundreds of thousands of African Americans moved from the South to the North. In the South, most African Americans had few rights and opportunities. Many of these people worked as sharecroppers, tenant farmers, or as day laborers. With the beginning of World War I, a number of jobs opened in Northern industries. Many businesses increased production to meet wartime needs. Many white men joined the armed forces of the United States military and were sent to Europe to fight. While some African American men also enlisted in the armed forces, many others migrated to the North to fill these positions. cf The Bluest Eye, p.117 Estimates vary, but possibly as many as 500,000 African Americans moved from the South to the North during the 1910s and the early 1920s. Most African Americans who moved from the South to the North settled in cities, where the available jobs were located. Many Northern businesses advertised in Southern newspapers or sent recruiters to the South to hire African Americans. The businesses commonly offered to pay the workers' moving expenses as well as their first month's rent. Fewer people moved from the South to the North during the 1920s and the 1930s. But with the coming of World War II, there was another surge in the number of people moving from the South to the North.

May 10, 2011 Abstract 2 The purpose of this paper is to analyze the effects growing up in the studio system had on child stars from the 1930s through 1950s. I chose to focus my research and analysis on three child stars in particular: Judy Garland, Elizabeth Taylor, and Shirley Temple. These three actresses each had different experiences in their careers and relationships to the studio; however, they were all well-known and influential child stars.

  • Hollywood's Terror Industry: Idealized Beauty and the Bluest Eye E. C. Koch
    Sanglap: Journal of Literary and Cultural Inquiry Volume 1: Issue 1 Hollywood’s Terror Industry: Idealized Beauty and The Bluest Eye E. C. Koch Film exists not only as a popular form of entertainment but as a social institution. The assembly- line mass production of film in 1940s Hollywood, now termed classical cinema, fashioned, via the enormous output and consumption of newsreels, animated cartoons, serials, shorts, and feature films, a medium of socialization so innocuous and pervasive that its effect remains the focus of contemporary film study and analyses. The introduction to Robert Kolker’s A Cinema of Loneliness touches on the relationship between film and viewer as “[filmmakers] created the images in which a culture consented to see itself and, as audiences responded favorably, the continuation of genres, plots, players, themes, and world views promoted by the studios were perpetuated in film after film” (3). Kolker’s later assertion that “films constitute a factory of ideological production” (257) is tempered, somewhat, by Dudley Andrew’s observation that “Ideology does not descend on the populace from some demonic mountain top of politics. It is a virtually impersonal system which produces reality for every subject of a culture” (113). The “world views” being “promoted by the studios” were not the desires of Hollywood executives or the forced indoctrination of the many by the few, but rather a glossy, idealized representation of the institutionalized racism and segregated reality of 1940s America. Hollywood simply held a black-and-white, 35mm mirror to the face of a nation already subject to white cultural hegemony, projecting and perpetuating a country’s ideals back to its audience at twenty four frames per second.
