When Hollywood magnetized the youth and beauty of America, and drew to its casting bureaus tens of thousands of fame -seeking young girls, that was its "Golden Age." That day has passed, and now Hollywood does its utmost to discourage the further influx of aspiring young k talent. It has become overloaded with youth, and there is not a work for one fifth of the girls who are trying to crash the movies in 1932. Today the "Golden Age" of radio is dawning. The cloud -touching air castles of New York and Chicago have become the Meccas of countless thou- sands of young girls who spend their savings on a few new frocks and a railroad ticket and speed to the nation's metropolis. A great new field of entertainment is demanding talent, and when there is even the remotest pos- sibility of quick fame and fat pay checks, the youth of the country is swift to answer.

  • This Was a Time of Both Turmoil and Prosperity for America
    Lillie, Disney, 1 Cleansing the Past, Selling the Future: Disney’s Corporate Exhibits at the 1964-65 New York World’s Fair Jonathan J. M. Lillie JOMC 242 History Paper 5/3/02 Park Doctoral Fellow The School of Journalism and Mass Communication The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Lillie, Disney, 2 Abstract This paper offers a historical analysis of Disney’s corporate exhibits at the 1964-65 New York World’s Fair, GE’s “Carousel of Progress” and Ford’s “Magic Skyway,” in an attempt to consider their historical and cultural significance. The coming together of Disney’s legacy of nostalgic entertainment achieved via his desire and skill in “improving” the past and future with the equally strong desire of corporate giants to sell themselves and their products is presented here as a case study of the processes of cultural creation: how and why specific discourses of technology and consumption are written in to these narratives of the past and the future. Introduction Between April 22, 1964 and October 17, 1965 fifty-one million people experienced the New York World’s Fair.1 The mid-1960s was a time of both turmoil and prosperity for America. President Kennedy had been assassinated only months before the Fair’s opening. In southern states such as Alabama the civil rights protest movement was drawing national attention. While cold war tensions remained high following the Cuban Missile Crisis, the nation was enjoying the height of postwar economic prosperity and geo-political power. The Fair’s twin themes of “Man’s Achievements in an Expanding Universe” and “A Millennium of Progress” captured the exuberance of the times, celebrating “the boundless potential of science and technology for human betterment.”2 The 1939 New York World’s Fair was in many ways a predecessor to the 1964-65 exhibition.

  • Monthly Program Synopsis: Disney Women Animators and the History of Cartooning February 26, 2019, MH Library
    Monthly Program Synopsis: Disney Women Animators and the History of Cartooning February 26, 2019, MH Library Suman Ganapathy VP Programs, Yvonne Randolph introduced museum educator from the Walt Disney Museum, Danielle Thibodeau, in her signature vivacious style. It was followed by a fascinating and educational presentation by Thibodeau about women animators and their role in the history of cartooning as presented in the Disney Family Museum located in the Presidio, San Francisco. The talk began with a short history of the museum. The museum, which opened in 2009, was created by one of Walt Disney’s daughters, Diane Disney Miller. After discovering shoeboxes full of Walt Disney’s Oscar awards at the Presidio, Miller started a project to create a book about her father, but ended up with the museum instead. Disney’s entire life is presented in the museum’s interactive galleries, including his 248 awards, early drawings, animation, movies, music etc. His life was inspirational. Disney believed that failure helped an individual grow, and Thibodeau said that Disney always recounted examples from his own life where he never let initial failures stop him from reaching his goals. The history of cartooning is mainly the history of Walt Dissey productions. What was achieved in his studios was groundbreaking and new, and it took many hundreds of people to contribute to its success. The Nine Old Men: Walt Disney’s core group of animators were all white males, and worked on the iconic Disney movies, and received more than their share of encomium and accolades. The education team of the Walt Disney museum decided to showcase the many brilliant and under-appreciated women who worked at the Disney studios for the K-12 students instead.

  • Speaking Back: Queerness, Temporality, and the Irish Voice in America
    Speaking Back: Queerness, Temporality, and the Irish Voice in America Gavin Doyle A Thesis submitted to the School of English at the University of Dublin, Trinity College, in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy September 2018 DECLARATION I, Gavin Doyle, declare that the following thesis has not previously been submitted as an exercise for a degree, either in Trinity College, Dublin, or in any other University; that it is entirely my own work; and that the library may lend or copy it or any part thereof on request. I agree to deposit this thesis in the University’s open access institutional repository or allow the library to do so on my behalf, subject to Irish Copyright Legislation and Trinity College Library conditions of use and acknowledgement. Signed_____________________ Gavin Doyle i SUMMARY This thesis examines the intersections of Irishness and queerness in the work of five contemporary American writers and cultural figures: Alice McDermott, James McCourt, Peggy Shaw, Eileen Myles, and Stephanie Grant. Despite the wealth of critical scholarship in the areas of Irish-American literature and culture, the queer Irish voice in America remains almost entirely neglected. The thesis argues against the mutual trends in Irish-American and gay and lesbian cultural, social, and historical discourses that centralise “progressive” narratives in terms of socio-economic and legal advances. In so doing, the project privileges the bilateral backward glance in the writing of queer scholars such as Heather Love, José Esteban Muñoz, Elizabeth Freeman, Benjamin Kahan, Jack Halberstam, Judith Butler, and David L. Eng, and in the critical interventions of Irish and Irish-American critics who challenge the truncated “success” story of the Irish in America.
