  • Mary Murillo

    Mary Murillo

    Mary Murillo Also Known As: Mary O’Connor, Mary Velle Lived: January 22, 1888 - February 4, 1944 Worked as: adapter, film company managing director, scenario writer, screenwriter, theatre actress Worked In: France, United Kingdom: England, United States by Christina Petersen In March 1918, Moving Picture World heralded British screenwriter Mary Murillo as a “remarkable example” of “the meteoric flights to fame and fortune which have marked the careers of many present day leaders in the motion picture profession” (1525). This was more than just promotional hyperbole, since, in just four years, Murillo had penned over thirty features, including a highly successful adaptation of East Lynne (1916) starring Theda Bara and the original story for Cheating the Public (1918), “which proved a sensation” at its New York debut according to Moving Picture World (1525). Murillo wrote or adapted over fifty films from 1913 to 1934 in the United States, England, and France, including slapstick comedies, melodramas, fairy tale adaptations, and vehicles for female stars such as Bara, Ethel Barrymore, Clara Kimball Young, Olga Petrova, and Norma Talmadge. As a scenarist, her range included several films focused on contemporary issues—gender equality, women’s suffrage, economic progressivism, and labor reform—while others, such as the child-oriented adaptation of Jack and the Beanstalk (1917), seem to have been meant to appeal as pure escapism. In the latter half of her career, Murillo left the United States for England where she joined several ventures, but never equaled her American output. Born in January 1888 and educated at the Sacred Heart Convent in Roehampton, England, Murillo immigrated to the United States in 1908 at the age of nineteen (“Mary Murillo, Script Writer” 1525; McKernan 2015, 80).

    The History of Film

    NO. 45 -ii u rm j A . FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE The Museum of Modern Art 11 West 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019 Tel. 956-6100 Cable: Modernart THE HISTORY OF FILM The fourth in The Museum of Modern Art's cycles presenting "The History of Film" will begin on Sunday June 6 at 5:00 with a series of short films by Edison, Lumiere, Melies, and others representing the birth of the cinema. The three year cycle, presented ewery Sunday evening at 5:00 through April 29, 1979, will trace the evolution of film from these early works through such masters as Griffith, Chaplin, von Stroheim, and King Vidor and concluding with the recent works "Death in Venice" by Luchino Visconti and Robert Altman's "McCabe and Mrs. Miller." This major series, consisting of 148 weekly programs, was organized by Jon Gartenberg, Curatorial Assistant in the Department of Film and is designed to show that film history is "a network of interrelationships and influences between one work and another over the past eighty years." Thus, though a great many classic films are not included, many lesser-known but historically important films will be shown and such phenomena as the beginnings of the motion picture, early experiments with sound, and the development of such genres as Westerns, the historical drama, and movie serials will be examined. While examples of foreign films, shorts, avant- garde, and animated films are included, the primary emphasis of the cycle is to show the development of the American feature film from its roots through 1971.

    "So Oft to the Movies They've Been": British Fan Writing and Female

    "So oft to the movies they've been": British fan writing and female audiences in the silent cinema Lisa Rose Stead University of Exeter, Exeter, Devon, United Kingdom [0.1] Abstract—This article aims to address the ways in which working-class and lower-middle-class British women used silent-era fan magazines as a space for articulating their role within the development of a female film culture. The article focuses on letter pages that formed a key site for female contribution to British fan magazines across the silent era. In contributing to these pages, women found a space to debate and discuss the appeal and significance of particular female representations within film culture. Using detailed archival research tracing the content of a specific magazine, Picturegoer, across a 15-year period (1913–28), the article will show the dominance of particular types of female representation in both fan and "official" magazine discourses, analyzing the ways in which British women used these images to work through national tensions regarding modern femininity and traditional ideas of female propriety and restraint.
