    "7 NO. 5 The Museum of Modern Art FOR RELEASE JANUARY 14 11 West 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019 Tel. 955-6100 Cable: Modernart EARLY FILMS TO BE REVIVED AT MUSEUM "The Virginian," Cecil B. DeMllle's 1914 classic, from the novel by Owen Wlster, with Dustin Famun who played in the stage version, will be shown as part of a series of eleven early films to be presented from January 14 through January 25, at The Museum of Modern Art. The Jesse Lasky production of "The Virginian" will be introduced by James Card, Curator of the George Eastman House Motion Picture Study Collection in Rochester, which is providing the films on the Museum program. At the eight o'clock, January 14 performance, Mr. Card will introduce the film and address himself to the controversy over the direction of "The Virginian," one of the early silent feature films. The fact that Cecil B. DeMille directed has been in dispute over the years. On the same program with "The Virginian," another vintage film will be shown. Tod Browning's "The Unknown" starring Lon Chaney. Made in 1927, it was an original story by the director, called "Alonzo, the Armless." According to The New York Times Film Reviews, a recently published compilation of the paper's film criticism, "the role ought to have satisfied Mr. Chaney's penchant for freakish characterizations for here he not only has to go about for hours with his arms strapped to his body, but when he rests behind bolted doors, one perceives that he has on his left hand a double thumb." Joan Crawford plays the female lead in the film, about which Roy Edwards writes in Sight and Sound, the characters and special effects add up to a "thorough display of grotesqueries." Other notable films that are part of this film preservation program are "Cimarron," starring Richard Dix and made in 1931 from Edna Ferber's popular novel; "Dr.

    EDNA FERBER’S WOMEN CHARACTERS, 1911 – 1930, AND THE REINTERPRETATION OF THE AMERICAN DREAM THROUGH A FEMALE LENS A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of The School of Continuing Studies And the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts In Liberal Studies By Anne Efman Abramson, B.A. Georgetown University Washington, D.C. April 30, 2010 EDNA FERBER’S WOMEN CHARACTERS, 1911 – 1930, AND THE REINTERPRETATION OF THE AMERICAN DREAM THROUGH A FEMALE LENS Anne E. Abramson, B.A. Mentor: Michael Collins, Ph. D. ABSTRACT Edna Ferber (1885‐1963) was a Pulitzer Prize‐winning author and one of the most popular writers of her time. Today, however, she is rarely read in schools or colleges, although her plays are still produced, and the films based on her novels, plays and short stories continue to be appreciated by classic film lovers. This thesis demonstrates how Edna Ferber created female characters in the early years of the twentieth century who struggled against the constraints of society’s traditional female roles, who were the first in their nontraditional professions, and who achieved their own version of the American Dream. Edna Ferber also revisited American history with stories that highlighted women’s contributions to America. This thesis first introduces Edna Ferber, her background and her early years drawing from Ferber’s two autobiographies, A Peculiar Treasure, 1939, and ii A Kind of Magic, 1963. Second, it discusses the New Woman at the turn of the century; the American Dream, historically and in relation to Ferber’s female characters; and Edna Ferber as a middlebrow modern writer whose literary output had powerful cultural agency.

Almost a century ago, they were writing about race, immigration, economic disparity, drug addiction, and other issues our society is dealing with today with a reneWed sense of urgency. In spite of their extraordinary popularity, by the time they died within a feW months of each other in 1968, their reputations had fallen into eclipse. This dissertation focuses on Ferber’s and Hurst’s fiction published betWeen approximately 1910 and 1935, the years in Which both authors enjoyed the highest critical and popular esteem. Perhaps because these realistic narratives generally do not engage in the stylistic experimentation of the literary world around them, literary scholars came to undervalue their Work.

  • Jim Crow, Jett Rink, and James Dean: Reconstructing Ferber's Giant
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Biodiversity Informatics Jim Crow, Jett Rink, and James Dean 5 Jim Crow, Jett Rink, and James Dean: Reconstructing Ferber’s Giant (1952-1956) J. E. Smyth In December 1954, America’s best-selling historical novelist, Edna Ferber, wrote to director George Stevens emphasizing her continued interest in his production of her latest book, Giant. She believed that Giant’s value lay in its exposure of racial prejudice against Mexican Americans in Texas, and that its racial themes had become “more vital, more prevalent today in the United States than . when I began to write the novel.”1 Ferber hoped that one day Anglo oil millionaires like Bick Benedict and Jett Rink, the originators and perpetu- ators of these inequalities in the economic and social hierarchies of America’s new West, would be “anachronisms like the dear old covered wagons and the California gold-rush boys.”2 Later in May 1955, when shooting first began on the film, Ferber wrote to Henry Ginsberg, producer and co-founder of the inde- pendent film company, Giant Productions, “I don’t quite know why the motion picture presentation of Giant interests and fascinates me much more than the screen career of any of my other novels or plays. That goes for Show Boat, So Big, Cimarron, and many others. Perhaps it is because behind the characters and events in Giant there stands a definite meaning, a purpose.”3 Although Ferber had considered writing a historical novel about Texas as early as 1939, she only started to research the topic seriously after the war.
