    FY14 Tappin' Study Guide

    Student Matinee Series Maurice Hines is Tappin’ Thru Life Study Guide Created by Miller Grove High School Drama Class of Joyce Scott As part of the Alliance Theatre Institute for Educators and Teaching Artists’ Dramaturgy by Students Under the guidance of Teaching Artist Barry Stewart Mann Maurice Hines is Tappin’ Thru Life was produced at the Arena Theatre in Washington, DC, from Nov. 15 to Dec. 29, 2013 The Alliance Theatre Production runs from April 2 to May 4, 2014 The production will travel to Beverly Hills, California from May 9-24, 2014, and to the Cleveland Playhouse from May 30 to June 29, 2014. Reviews Keith Loria, on theatermania.com, called the show “a tender glimpse into the Hineses’ rise to fame and a touching tribute to a brother.” Benjamin Tomchik wrote in Broadway World, that the show “seems determined not only to love the audience, but to entertain them, and it succeeds at doing just that! While Tappin' Thru Life does have some flaws, it's hard to find anyone who isn't won over by Hines showmanship, humor, timing and above all else, talent.” In The Washington Post, Nelson Pressley wrote, “’Tappin’ is basically a breezy, personable concert. The show doesn’t flinch from hard-core nostalgia; the heart-on-his-sleeve Hines is too sentimental for that. It’s frankly schmaltzy, and it’s barely written — it zips through selected moments of Hines’s life, creating a mood more than telling a story. it’s a pleasure to be in the company of a shameless, ebullient vaudeville heart.” Maurice Hines Is .

    Notas Sobre El Estilo El Último Entuerto Que Conviene Desfacer Es El Que Habla De King Como De Un Cineasta “Sin Estilo”

    Notas sobre el estilo El último entuerto que conviene desfacer es el que habla de King como de un cineasta “sin estilo”. Si por estilo se entiende llamar la atención sobre la cámara, forzar los ángulos, montar aparatosos encuadres y hacer notar el trabajo del director, King es, en efecto, un director sin estilo. Algunas de sus películas, como Deep Waters, adoptan además una forma visual aparentemente anodina, que puede pasar por impersonal si a la carencia de atractivos externos se une una extrema funcionalidad narrativa, como sucede en dos de sus obras fundamentales, I’d Climb the Highest Mountain y Wait Till the Sun Shines, Nellie. Un examen detallado de estas y otras películas revela la existencia de una personalidad cinematográfica muy acusada, aunque no llamativa ni evidente. Más que afanarse en la búsqueda de un estilo propio, King intentó desarrollar a lo largo de su carrera un lenguaje que se correspondiese, visual y narrativamente, con los modos de sus personajes, por lo general inteligentes y discretos, observadores y dinámicos, inconformistas y sensibles a los cambios que se producen en su entorno. Conforme avanzaba su obra, películas y personajes fueron haciéndose progresivamente más complejos, sin que King violentara por ello su estilo, cada vez más refinado y transparente, permeable a los avances técnicos (el sonido, el color, la pantalla ancha) pero no a las modas ni a retóricas pasajeras. Tal vez por ello, o por una fidelidad a su propia visión, las bases del estilo visual de King apenas experimentaron variaciones significativas a lo largo del tiempo, de hecho Tol’able David podría haberse rodado en 1951 y I’d Climb the Highest Mountain treinta años antes sin que el espectador hubiera notado el menor desajuste.

Both her grandfather and her mother's grandfather were wealthy Alabamians. The common belief was that Tallulah received much of her acting talent from her father, but accounts of her mother1s younger days show proof that both of her parents were vivacious and talented. A stranger once told Tallulah, "Your mother was the most beautiful thing that ever lived. Many people have said you get your acting talent from your father, but I disagree. I was at school with Ada Eugenia and I knew Will well. Did you know that she could faint on 1 cue?11 Tallulahfs mother possessed grace and beauty and was quite flamboyant. She loved beautiful clothes and enjoyed creating a ruckus in her own Southern world.* Indeed, Tallulah inherited her mother's joy in turning social taboos upside down.

    CAMINO REAL 2:3 (2010): 11-33 Celluloid Conquistadors: Images of the Conquest of Mexico in Captain from Castile (1947) STEPHEN A. COLSTON ABSTRACT The Spanish Conquest of Aztec Mexico (1519-21) forever transformed greater North America, Europe, and regions beyond. In spite of this significance, there is only one extant motion picture that has attempted to portray features of this epic event. Re- leased in 1947 by Twentieth Century-Fox, Captain from Castile was based on a novel of the same title and offers images of the Conquest that are intertwined with fact and fic- tion. Drawing upon the novel and elements of the Conquest story itself, this study se- parates and examines the threads of fact and fantasy that form the fundamental fabric of this film’s recounting of the Spanish Conquest. This analysis is enhanced by infor- mation found in unpublished documents from several collections of motion picture pro- duction materials. Ultimately, the images of the Spanish Conquest that emerge in Captain from Castile reveal some elements of genuine historicity but they more often reflect, in typical Hollywood fashion, the aspirations of a studio more concerned with achieving box office success than historical accuracy. Keywords: film, Hollywood, Conquest, Mexico, Cortés, Aztecs. Stephen A. Colston is an Associate Professor of History at San Diego State University.

From 1938 to 1952, the majority of Eskin’s manuscripts and field recordings document his growing interest in the American folk music revival.
