PAST PRESIDENTS Douglas Fairbanks William C. deMille Conrad Nagel M. C. Levee Theodore Reed Frank Lloyd Frank Capra Walter Wanger Bette Davis PUBLICATIONS "Players Directory Bulletin" "Bulletin of Screen Achievement Records" Research Council Technical Bulletins "Motion Picture Sound Engineering" (Van Nostrand. J 939) Academy Library Bulletins THE ACADEMY DURING 1941 Without minimizing the cultural, educational and inter-branch cooperative functions for which it is primarily organized, the outstanding contributions of the Academy during the past year have been in the field of National Defense. Due to the far-sighted leadership of the Research Council, that branch of the Academy was prepared when the occaS10n arose to play the significant part which it is now doing in the production in Hollywood of War De­ partment Training Films for the United States Army. A de­ tailed report is given elsewhere in this publication on the activities of the Council, which are both a channel of patriotic service for the members of the Academy and a source of pride to the organization. The Academy and its membership of 500 leaders 1n all the production branches will continue to cooperate 1n every way possible with the united War efforts of the country, both directly and by continuing to uphold 1n the creative life of Hollywood the highest standards of artis­ tic integrity and regard for the significance of the motion picture as a major medium of communication. The Annual Awards of Merit are of course the Academy activity most widely known to the general public. The Presentation Dinner in 1941 was certainly the most outstanding in the history of the Awards since their be­ ginning in 1927. Recognizing and commending the import­ ance of motion pictures to the nation, President Franklin D. Roosevelt addressed the Awards Dinner by radio from the White House, the first time the annual event has been so honored. The Awards conferred in 1941 for outstanding achievements during the preceding year are detailed else- where. Following the same general procedure as heretofore, the active participation of the Screen Actors, Directors and Writers Guilds combined with the Academy membership to make the annual selections widely representative. Nearly 12,000 members of Hollywood's creative personnel took part in the balloting. In the publication field, the Academy's informa­ tion services, the Players Directory Bulletin and the Bulletin of Screen Achievement Records continued as major Page 1 projects. More tllan 1800 actors and actresses are repre­ sented in current issues of the Players Directory, which is maintained as a cooperative service by and for the players and the studios. Supplementing the established branches of the organization, the Music Branch of the Academy was greatly expanded during the year of 1941, to include the sixty re­ cognized leaders in this profession which is so important to the screen. Academy Branches now include Actors, Directors, Producers and Executives, Writers, Music, Short Subjects and Public Relations and in the technical divi­ sion Art Direction, Photographic, Sound, Film Editors, and Equipment. One of the Academy's important educational func­ tions has been to sponsor for its members and guests advance showings of unusual films. Programs d).lring the past year have included: 'War Reporting Films of Canada' ; 'Ni Sangre, Ni Arena' from Mexico; 'British Wartime Shorts'; 'Document­ ary Work of, Joris Ivens'; 'Boy Saint Gyandev', the first talking feature to reach this country from India; 'New U.S. Defense and English War Reporting Documentaries'; and 'Selection of U.S. Army Training Films'. These showings are to be actively continued. In addition the Academy renewed its annual pre­ sentations of film classics by sponsoring a 10-week series of nightly showings in Hollywood of films from the Museum of Modern Art, including: 'Intolerance', 'Son of the Sheik', 'Three Musketeers', 'The Unholy Three', 'The Love Parade', 'Greed', 'Grandma's Boy', 'Anna Christie', 'What Price Glory', 'Thief of Bagdad', 'Underworld' and 'Cru.iser Po temk in' . During the year the archival and reference Library of the Academy attained full stature as one of the three most complete collections in this specialized field. The staff was increased to better handle the mounting number of inquiries from the Hollywood studios, corres­ pondents, book and magazine writers, teachers and school and college students in need of historical data, statis­ tics, photographs and production information extending from 1896 to date. Growth of the Library is indicated by the fact that 260 books on motion pictures were added during the year, 250 selected scripts, 90 bound volumes of U. S. and foreign trade magazines and several thousand stills. The Academy Library now includes nearly all the books which Page 2 have ever been published about motion pictures in English and other languages, a file of production information alphabetically arranged by titles of nearly 20,000 motion pictures produced since 1900, a collection of still photo­ graphs based on the 1,000 most important films since 1915 and scripts of the most significant productions since 1925. In addition to reference service in Hollywood the Academy Library answers mail inquiries received direct or referred by the studios. The Advisory Committee includes the li- brarians of the studios and of the city and county of Los Angeles in a cooperative organization to provide informa­ tion about motion pictures on a level of accuracy and scholarship comparable to that for other arts and indus­ tries. A new activity undertaken by the Academy during 1941 was the sponsorship of the First Annual Hollywood Still Photography Exhibit at which the still cameraman of the studios received long overdue recognition. Conducted by the Academy's Public Relations Institute, this proved an outstanding event. More than 600 prints were entered and displayed. The collection was then sent to New York to be hung for a month in the Museum of Modern Art and was subsequently divided into six traveling exhibits which have been continuously displayed in galleries, libraries, universities and by photographic organizations throughout the country. One set is now touring Australia. Plans for a second annual exhibit indicate that this will become one of the regular functions of the Academy. Allied to both the Public Relations Institute and the Library, the Academy has also arranged for numer­ ous special exhibits on various phases of motion pictures for libraries, schools and study groups seriously interest­ ed. Plans for the construction of an Academy Build­ ing, long under consideration and badly needed in Hollywood as a community center, almost came to conclusion during the year. However, after a site had been optioned and architec­ tural plans completed, the entire project had to be tabled for the duration of the War. Development of this Center will undoubtedly be one of the Academy's main activities when peace is restored. WALTER WANGER President Page 3 ACADEMY RESEARCH COUNCIL Du r i n g the pas t yea r , the act i v i tie s 0 f the Academy Research Council have been primarily devoted to the production in Hollywood of War Department Training Films for the United States Army. In addi tion, the Research Council has maintained many of its technical activities and has discharged its primary responsibility for handling, on behalf of the pro­ duction industry, any projects which can be carried to completion through cooperative activity rather than by individual studio effort. At the beginning of the present national emer­ gency, the Motion Picture Committee Cooperating for Nation­ al Defense immediately expressed a willingness to cooper­ ate with the War Department in any way possible. This offer was accepted by the Chief Signal Officer of the Army and the industry was asked to assume a part of the pro­ duction of Army Training Films. Training Films had been produced by the Signal Corps for a number of years, but the vast increase of the armed forces in this country together with the necessity for quickly training this large number of men, made the existing production facilities of the Signal Corps entire­ ly inadequate for this immediate problem. The Research Council was selected for this task, not only because of its long history of technical accom­ plishment, but also because as a part of our cooperative program we had maintained for the past eight years a train- 1ng course in motion picture production for Signal Corps officers. One Signal Corps officer has been trained in Hollywood in studio production each year during that pe­ riod. As a result of this program all of the officers directing the activities of the Signal Corps Photographic Division have received their actual production training in Hollywood under the auspices of the Research Council. Through the Research Council, the entire vast production facilities and creative talent of the American film industry has been made available to the War Department entirely on a non-profit basis.

H&G6-10-Tu1 The Birth of American Imperialism Leader - Ron Levy Tuesday – Course Period 1 – 9:00 a.m. to 10:25 a.m. Description Five U.S. Presidents in a 20-year period, from Harrison to Taft, embarked on active territorial incursions and international strategies that had significant implications for our foreign policy in the 20th century. James Bradley in his book, The Imperial Cruise levels serious accusations of a racist leadership that pursued an American Aryan philosophy as it “followed the sun to the West.” Although a lauded historian, he wrote this book in more of a journalistic style which makes for enjoyable and often surprising reading. Reviews have been both favorable and critical of his controversial treatment of the subject. How legitimate are Bradley’s claims? What is the background to our territorial incursions in Asia-Pacific, and to what extent were they an extension of our similar activities in the Americas? How did they relate to the concurrent activities of other major powers? To what extent were our actions examples of regime change or of nation building? What were some of the positive and negative outcomes of our policies? Did some of our actions really lead to World War II in the Pacific? We will examine the then-recent history of Hawai’i, Cuba, Panama, the Philippines, China, Korea and Japan, and the U.S.’s relations with those countries, as the U.S.

  • Hollywood Loving
    HOLLYWOOD LOVING Kevin Noble Maillard* INTRODUCTION It is no coincidence that Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner1 was released the same year that Loving v. Virginia2 was decided: 1967. It was the first time in American history that interracial marriage was collectively recognized as a legitimate, intimate choice between two adults. This public exposition of racial intermixture exposed a collective memory of racial heterogeneity previously treated in law and popular culture as suspect. Collectively, there were few possibilities, expressions, or affirmative realizations of interracially intimate culture before 1967. Some cases, like McLaughlin v. Florida3 and Perez v. Sharp,4 successfully overturned discriminatory laws targeting interracial couples, but the vast majority, like Naim v. Naim,5 upheld them. * Professor of Law, Syracuse University. Thank you to the student editors of the Fordham Law Review and to the Fordham Professors Robin Lenhardt and Tanya Katerí Hernández for organizing the Symposium entitled Fifty Years of Loving v.

  • Ruth Prawer Jhabvala's Adapted Screenplays
    Absorbing the Worlds of Others: Ruth Prawer Jhabvala’s Adapted Screenplays By Laura Fryer Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of a PhD degree at De Montfort University, Leicester. Funded by Midlands 3 Cities and the Arts and Humanities Research Council. June 2020 i Abstract Despite being a prolific and well-decorated adapter and screenwriter, the screenplays of Ruth Prawer Jhabvala are largely overlooked in adaptation studies. This is likely, in part, because her life and career are characterised by the paradox of being an outsider on the inside: whether that be as a European writing in and about India, as a novelist in film or as a woman in industry. The aims of this thesis are threefold: to explore the reasons behind her neglect in criticism, to uncover her contributions to the film adaptations she worked on and to draw together the fields of screenwriting and adaptation studies. Surveying both existing academic studies in film history, screenwriting and adaptation in Chapter 1 -- as well as publicity materials in Chapter 2 -- reveals that screenwriting in general is on the periphery of considerations of film authorship. In Chapter 2, I employ Sandra Gilbert’s and Susan Gubar’s notions of ‘the madwoman in the attic’ and ‘the angel in the house’ to portrayals of screenwriters, arguing that Jhabvala purposely cultivates an impression of herself as the latter -- a submissive screenwriter, of no threat to patriarchal or directorial power -- to protect herself from any negative attention as the former. However, the archival materials examined in Chapter 3 which include screenplay drafts, reveal her to have made significant contributions to problem-solving, characterisation and tone.
