  • Seven Footprints to Satan Saturday 24 March 2018 Performing Live: Jane Gardner and Roddy Long
    Seven Footprints to Satan Saturday 24 March 2018 Performing live: Jane Gardner and Roddy Long This is a real rarity: the middle of three spooky house films made by Danish director Benjamin Christensen, who's best known for the satanic documentary Haxan, AKA Witchcraft Through the Ages. The other films are lost, though the music and sound effects discs that once accompanied The Haunted House can be heard on YouTube: lots of whistling wind and hooting owls. You might want to imagine those sounds as you experience Seven Footprints, whose original score and FX are lost: but we'll endeavour to make up for that with our own live accompaniment. Christensen came over at the same time as Garbo, and for a while looked to be making a go of it in Hollywood, directing successful films at MGM and Warner Bros. His very weird sensibility seems surreal now, but apparently fitted into the commercial cinema of the day. Seven Footprints is based on a perfectly serious mystery novel, but the director rewrote it from scratch and turned it into a bizarre and hilarious parody, a parade of sensational events with scarcely any narrative connection. We're just trapped in a spooky house with a nice couple being terrorized by a criminal cult, led by... Satan himself! The relentless succession of thugs, dwarfs, fiendish orientals, sinister cripples, phony gorillas, ludicrous grotesques and exotic women, all entering and exiting through secret panels, usually carrying pistols (except the gorilla) and uttering baffling warnings, plays like a Fu Manchu movie viewed through an opium haze.

HART William S. Hart came to the movies in 1914 from a long line of theatrical ex­ perience, mostly Shakespearean and while to many he is the strong, silent Western hero of film he is also the peer of John Ford as a major force in shaping and developing this genre we enjoy, the Western. In 1889 in what is to become Oklahoma Territory the Cherokee Strip is just a graz­ ing area owned by Indians and worked day and night be the itinerant cowboys called 'tumbleweeds'. Alas, it is the end of the old West as the homesteaders are moving in . Hart becomes involved with a homesteader's daughter and her evil brother who has a scheme to jump the line as "sooners". The scenes of the gigantic land rush is one of the most noted action sequences in film history.

  • Laurel & Hardy
    Laurel & Hardy Das ungleiche Paar Das Dadü–düdü, wenn sie daherkommen, Stan, der nie im Schritt ist, sondern immer einen Takt daneben, und Ollie, so charmant und voller gu- ter Dinge, alltäglicher Anzug und Melone beide, ein Paar, ein Gegensatz! Dazu The Cuckoo Song, das musikalische Signet, das die Radiostation, die neben dem Studio von Hal Roach in Culver City, südwestlich von Holly- wood, untergebracht war, morgens zur Programmeröffnung sendete – eine Erkennungsmelodie, die derart kläglich war, dass sie, als der nächste Film getestet werden sollte, ausprobiert und, da das Publikum gelacht h a t t e , beibehalten wurde, ohne dass einer ahnte, sie könnte 1932, drei Jahre n a c h ihrem ersten, vertonten Kurzfilm, so populär sein, dass das Dadü–d ü d ü unisono von Tausenden gepfiffen wurde, als die beiden, auf Europafahrt, im Hafen von Southampton anlegten. Der Ankunft auf der Leinwand folgt die graziöse Geste, mit der Ollie an einer Haustür den Gang des Unheils zu eröffnen pflegt, während Stan verstossen daneben steht, nachdem er die Klingel nicht hat drücken dürfen. “Guten Morgen”, beginnt Ollie, als gelte es, zwei Persönlichkeiten vorzustellen, die zu kennen eine Ehre sein muss. “Ich bin Mr. Hardy, Mr. Oliver Norvelle Hardy. Und dies ist mein Freund, Mr. Laurel." In der Tür steht James Finlayson, ihr ewiger Widersacher, ein schlafmütziger Hausvater, der die Augen angesichts des Paares einwärts dreht und mit dem Schnurbart zu beben anfängt. Das ungleiche Paar, ein seltsamer Anblick trotz der Kleidung, die abso- lut nicht ungewöhnlich ist. Als wunderte es ihn fast ein bisschen, erzählte 49 Fritz Hirzel Stan Laurel später, die meistgestellte Frage sei gewesen, wie sie zusam- menkamen.

  • Child-Theft Across Visual Media
    The Child-theft Motif in the Silent Film Era and Afterwards 7 The Child-theft Motif in the Silent Film Era and Afterwards — ※ — During the silent film era (1894–1927), the story of children who are stolen by ‘gypsies’ and then rescued/restored to their families resurfaces as one of the popular stock plots.

  • Blonde Journalism 1 Introduction When Two Blonde Bombshells from Hollywood Found Themselves in Trouble, They Also Found Themselv
    Blonde Journalism 1 Introduction When two blonde bombshells from Hollywood found themselves in trouble, they also found themselves in the newspaper. In the 1920s and ‘30s, comedienne Thelma Todd captured America’s attention not only with her numerous Hollywood films, but also with her bitter divorce and highly publicized death threats from a male stalker.1 Decades later, Playboy model Anna Nicole Smith stole headlines with her scandalous marriage to a billionaire 63 years her senior and the contentious paternity battle over her newborn daughter.2 By the time both reached age 30, their triumphs and tragedies were as much on-stage as they were, spread all over the media for the world to see. Because their lives were fodder for everyday news, their mysterious, tragic deaths created media frenzy. Newspapers relished coverage of Ms. Todd’s death, December 16, 1935. Three well-respected newspapers – The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, and The Atlanta Journal-Constitution – covered the actress’s death throughout their papers during the week following. The opportunity for using the sensationalistic style of yellow journalism was intoxicating, and editors for the three newspapers in 1935 lapped it up – some more than others – knowing the juicy celebrity mystery would not fail to attract readers. Nearly 72 years later, a similar media frenzy occurred when Anna Nicole Smith died on February 7, 2007. As their newspaper counterparts did seven decades earlier, television news shows, from NBC’s “Dateline” to Fox News to CNN, jumped on the gossipy story with around-the-clock, dramatic, graphics-filled coverage – in short, employing the yellow-journalism techniques of Ms.
