Those topics and more were addressed at the NWSBA’s Winter Dinner Meeting held Jan. 24 at the Ram Restaurant and Brewery in Wheeling. Jeffrey L.

As most members know, I have been on the Committee that has spearheaded the re- birth of the website over the past couple of years. I feel that the website is the best place to give our members additional benefits. The first additional feature that we are working on is an online referral service so that the public can choose an attorney online. Our current referral service is via telephone only. The second addition to the web- site is mini-websites for our members that feature a way to find an attorney, indicate the area of practice and It’s our relationship with you. for the attorney to put documents on line so that the public can review the work of an attorney before choos- ing an attorney.

At the time, Longfellow was still a professor of modern languages at Harvard, and he was not yet recognized as one of the most talented American poets of his time. :e success of his poem EvangelineO was about to facilitate that recognition while giving birth to a new iconic American literary and cultural ;gure. Soon after the ;rst text- only publication, the poem was edited again and illustrated with various engravings from more or less famous artists of the time such as :omas and James Faed. In a few years, the poem became a best seller, carried along by the wave of Romantic nationalism and the Manifest Destiny rhetoric that had been developed in the early 1840s and that shaped the ante-bellum national discourses in the United States.

  • Rethinking Griffith and Racism Melvyn Stokes Most Years
    1 Rethinking Griffith and Racism Melvyn Stokes Most years I teach a course on "American History through Hollywood Film." One of the movies I use for teaching is D. W. Griffith's The Birth of a Nation (1915). This year, in the exam at the end of the course, I asked my students to comment on a particular clip from the film: the scene of the fight in the saloon in which the muscular white blacksmith Jeff (Wallace Reid) battles a group of African Americans and beats them all in a brawl before he is shot in the back. What I expected from the students were some comments on the linkage between alcohol and race, together with a discussion of the wider historical resonances of the sequence, particularly those associated with black boxer Jack Johnson and the attempts to find a "great white hope" able to seize his crown as, since 1908, heavyweight champion of the world. What I got were a number of further suggestions relating to class as well as race that made me want to rethink, at least to some extent, the analysis of this sequence I gave in my 2007 book.1 The scene begins with an intertitle: "Gus hides in 'White-arm" Joe's ginmill." We see Gus (Walter Long), who has just chased Flora Cameron (Mae Marsh) to her death, appear from behind the saloon and glance around furtively to make sure he is not being followed. He enters the saloon and joins a group of blacks apparently persuading them to hide him, and they all go to the back of the saloon.

  • DW Griffith: Cinema's Great Pioneer
    DW Griffith: Cinema’s Great Pioneer Thursday 30 April 2015, London Throughout June BFI Southbank will host a month-long season dedicated to DW Griffith; described as the ‘Father of Film’ and the ‘Teacher of Us All’ by Lillian Gish and Charlie Chaplin respectively, Griffith was one of the greatest filmmakers of the silent-era. The season will re-examine his complex legacy, including his most famous film The Birth of a Nation (1915), a three-hour epic which was rightly accused of racism. Also screening in the season will be his first film as director The Adventures of Dollie (1908), the influential Intolerance (1916), his first talkie Abraham Lincoln (1930) and a three-part documentary from celebrated film historians Kevin Brownlow and David Gill, DW Griffith: Father of Film (USA-UK, 1993). As the ‘Father of Film’ Griffith pioneered film language which audiences now take for granted, from the use of close-ups for dramatic effect to parallel cutting (alternating two or more scenes that often happen simultaneously but in different locations). As the centenary of The Birth of a Nation (1915) is marked by a major international conference at University College London (UCL), the season will offer audiences a chance to re-evaluate Griffith’s most famous film with The Birth of a Nation at 100: A Roundtable Discussion. The roundtable will gather highly regarded keynote speakers from the UCL conference to present a contemporary assessment of this highly controversial and racist film a hundred years on. The season will also include a number of films starring Griffith’s favourite actress Lillian Gish.

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.

    Report to the U.S.Congress for the Year Ending December 31,2006 Created by the U.S. Congress to Preserve America’s Film Heritage Created by the U.S. Congress to Preserve America’s Film Heritage April 6, 2007 Dr. James H. Billington The Librarian of Congress Washington, D.C. 20540-1000 Dear Dr. Billington: In accordance with Public Law 109-9 (Title IIIB), The National Film Preservation Foundation Reauthorization Act of 2005, I submit to the U.S. Congress the 2006 Report of the National Film Preservation Foundation. As you know, the 2005 legislation increased the annual federal funding for our national preservation programs to $530,000. These resources have made a significant difference. This past year, we were able not only to assist more institutions but also to support larger, more complex projects, such as the restoration of the silent-era classic Huckleberry Finn and newly discovered small-town portraits by itinerant filmmaker H. Lee Waters. All told, the NFPF has now helped 150 archives, libraries, and museums across 38 states to save historically and culturally significant films that might otherwise have been lost to the public. The Library of Congress took extraordinary steps to secure full funding for our first year under the reauthorization, and we are deeply grateful for your leadership. This past year also marked a watershed for cooperative access projects. We published The Field Guide to Sponsored Films, the first introduction to the motion pictures commissioned by businesses, charities, and advocacy groups over the past century, and began work on two more DVD sets of long-unavailable films.
