  • Hands Up! by Steve Massa
    Hands Up! By Steve Massa Raymond Griffith is one of silent come- dy’s unjustly forgotten masters, whose onscreen persona was that of a calm, cool, world-weary bon vivant – some- thing like Max Linder on Prozac. After a childhood spent on stage touring in stock companies and melodramas, he ended up in films at Vitagraph in 1914 and went on to stints at Sennett,- L Ko, and Fox as a comedy juvenile. Not mak- ing much of an impression due to a lack of a distinctive character, he went be- hind the camera to become a gagman, working at Sennett and for other comics like Douglas MacLean. In 1922 he re- turned to acting and became the ele- gant, unflappable ladies’ man.

  • Gloria Swanson
    Gloria Swanson Also Known As: Gloria May Josephine Svensson, Gloria Mae Swanson, Josephine Swenson, Mrs. Herbert Somborn, Mrs. Henri the Marquis de la Falaise de la Coudraye Lived: March 27, 1899 - April 4, 1983 Worked as: film actress, producer Worked In: United States by Julie Buck By the time Gloria Swanson started her own production company, she had already been part of the film industry for over a decade. Many actresses started their own production companies in the 1920s and ’30s in an effort to gain more artistic freedom and a bigger percentage of the profits. Rarely, however, were actresses involved in the day-to-day workings of such an arrangement. Directors, husbands, or studio heads usually handled details. Gloria Swanson, however, remains an exception as she handled the business side of her first company; she did it not for “artistic freedom” but, according to Swanson herself, in retaliation against Jesse Lasky (Swanson 261). Swanson had been a star since late 1919, when she signed a seven-year contract at Famous Players-Lasky in a series of films directed by Cecil B. DeMille. But by the mid-1920s, as Swanson admits in her autobiography, she was beginning to feel very unsatisfied at Famous Players-Lasky. Churning out four to six films a year was exhausting, and while Swanson was the most successful actress in America (save perhaps Mary Pickford), by the mid-1920s her films were famous more for her fabulous costumes than for her acting or the story line (273). In 1925 Swanson fought to make the film Madame Sans-Gêne.

    /d> The Museum of Modern Art fok RLASE SEPTEMBER 28.1970 11 West 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019 Tel. 956-6100 Cable: Modernart COOPERATIVE CINEMA VENTURE LAUNCHED BY BROOKLYN ACADEMY AND MUSEUM Cinema classics from the archives of The Museum of Modem Art will be shown weekly, starting October 7, at the Brooklyn Academy, Harvey Llchtensteln, Director of the Academy and John Hlghtower, Director of the Museum, announced today. The 112-year-old performing arts center at 30 Lafayette Avenue also plans to present The Museum of Modern Art's latest "What's Happening?" programs of documentaries using technical Innovations to cover social and news events In a significant manner. The "What's Happening?" series starts October 9, at 7:30 p.m. and will continue almost every Friday evening through the spring season. It will be open to the public. The classics program, available only to members of both institutions on con­ secutive Wednesdays at 2:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., will also run through May. The series opens with films of 1919 vintage. The early films of renown include Harold Lloyd's comedy "High and Dizzy;" "The Mark of Zorro," in which Douglas Fairbanks "soared" to stardom in swashbuckling roles; "Blood and Sand," starring the myth- hero of his time, Rudolph Valentino; and "Stella Dallas," with Ronald Colman, the most popular sentimental melodrama of the "silent" twenties. On the program are three D.W, Griffith films: "Broken Blossoms" and "Way Down East," both starring Lillian Glsh and Richard Barthelmess, and Griffith's epic work "Intolerance." The latter combines four stories and four historic periods—early Babylon, the Christian era, 16th century France, and the 20th century—and was intended as a modern-day parable.

  • Film Stills Portfolios
    THE MUSEUM OF MODERN ART 11 WEST 33 STREET, NEW YORK 19, N. Y. TELEPHONE: CIRCLE 3-8900 F0R RELEASE: FRIDAY, No. 92 November 12, 195^ Popular motion picture stills from films in which Greta Garbo, Rudolph Valentino, Charlie Chaplin, and famous Early Comedians starred, and from movies directed by Sergei Eisenstein are now on sale in portfolios at the Museum of Modern Art, 11 West 53 Street. Each portfolio contains 10 separate prints. The portfolios are $4 each except for the Eisenstein portfolio which, as the stills are printed on heavier paper, with matte finish, sells for $l*.50. All are from the Museum of Modern Art's Film Library collection of more than 100,000 stills which has been used since it was founded in 1935 by still collectors and film researchers, and more recently by the general public. If interest in this first series of portfolios is as great as the Museum anti­ cipates, additional selections will be issued in the near future. The Garbo portfolio contains stills from films in which the famous star appeared from 1923-lj- until Ninotchka in 1939* and includes pictures with John Gilbert, Clark Gable and Erich von Stroheim, and a still from Anna Christie. The Valentino portfolio opens with a portrait of the famous star of the silent screen when he was 17 years old. Stills from The Sheik, Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, Beyond the Rocks with Gloria Swanson, and from Monsieur Beaucaire with Bebe Daniels are included among the 10 selections. Stills from Charlie Chaplin films include scenes from the Vagabond, made in 19l6 and from Monsieur Verdoux, made in 19^7, as well as a posed shot from Kid Auto Races at Venice, a 191^ Keystone comedy.
