Winkler Productions Directed and written by Walt Disney. Animated by Ub Iwerks, Rollin Ham Hamilton, Thurston Harper, Hugh Harman, & Rudolf Ising. Produced by Margaret J. Winkler With Margie Gay as Alice. Music and effects soundtrack added by Raytone Productions, 1930 Left to protect Alice’s house, Julius the cat soon falls into a vat of home-brew liquor in the basement and drinks himself into oblivion. The rats, free to play, entertain themselves by dancing, playing phonograph records, cavorting with the player piano, and using the bathtub for a swimming pool. Soon the party gets completely out of control. (Why Alice was brewing alcohol in her basement remains an open question.) “Speaking of his studio in later years, Disney was fond of saying that ‘it all started with a little mouse’ – but in fact the foundation was laid in 1924 by a little girl.” – Merritt & Kaufman, Walt in Wonderland Young Walt Disney broke into the movie business in Kansas City, as an illustrator for a company that produced glass slides and advertising shorts for theaters. Along with his buddy Fred Harman, he struck out on his own, hoping to jump-start their new company with a partly-animated comical short called Laugh-O-Grams, produced for the influential local theater owner, Frank L. Newman. This was successful enough that they were able to secure funding to hire additional animators, including now- legendary pioneers Ubbe “Ub” Iwerks, Hugh Harman, Rudolph Ising, and Friz Freleng. -

Society for the Study of Childhood in the Past 8th Annual International Conference DePaul University, Chicago IL September 11-13, 2015 Abstracts Abstracts are presented alphabetically using the last name of the senior author. The New Child: The Birth of a Psychological Subject Jutta Ahlbeck, University of Turku, Finalnd The paper examines changing notions of childhood in Finland in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Following scholars who argue that children and childhood started gaining intense medical and psychological attention in the mid-1900th century, the paper scrutinizes when and how notions of children’s psychological development entered Finnish scientific discourses. Whereas children’s somatic health (infant mortality, contagious diseases, malnutrition) had long been a societal concern, the new ‘child sciences’, child psychiatry and child psychology, addressed the importance of children’s minds and mental capacities as crucial to the normal development of the child. Scholars such as Wilhelm Preyer (1882), James Sully (1895) and Stanley G. Hall (1894, 1904) introduced new psychological theories on children’s minds, and their works reached and influenced Finnish educators and psychologists. The notion that the child’s mind is different from that of an adult, and that children are in need of special care and protection, resulted in intellectual, but also sentimental investments in childhood. The paper analyzes early Finnish child- psychological writings and looks at how the child as a psychological subject is conceptualized at the turn of the century. How was the child’s mind to be understood, how should a ‘normal’ child develop, in other words, what is a child? Paper Traces Childhood: Print Representations and Personal Reappropriations of an Idealized American Girlhood, 1900-1919 Diana Anselmo-Sequeira, University of Pittsburgh At the turn of the twentieth century, scientists began defining adolescence as a key developmental phase, distinct from childhood and adult age. -

Hal Roach’s OUR GANG oeuvre is generally treated as a body by reference works, and scant detail is available on the individual films. Presumably the Leonard Maltin and Richard W Benn book “Our Gang – the Life and Times of the Little Rascals” would meet this need, but I’ve so far been unable to locate a copy.

With the May 21st, 2005 meeting, On The Loose takes a renewed purpose in tackling the “loving study of the persons and films of Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy.” In the past few weeks, eh, months, ahem, years, bhhrr, near- ly a decade now, we have been steadily drifting away from the absolute purity of that purpose. Now, while we have not drifted so far away that the far shores presently reside on distant continents (or in-continents as may be the case with some of our members), it certainly wouldn’t hurt to put our shoulders together, row for the beach and hope sin- cerely that we wind up somewhere in the vicinity of Culver City. That doesn’t mean. however, that we won’t find our- selves now and again passing the Christie Studios, the Keaton lot, Mr. Sennett and company, or hanging from a telephone pole in the company of a certain cross-dressing ape friend. On the other hand, we will at all cost avoid wan- dering too far afield with the child-demons: Sunny McKean, Arthur Trimble and Mickey “himself” McNausea. -

Italy, 1902–1988), who was hired by George Eastman during the late period of silent cinema, from 1924 to 1928, to design and hand-paint film posters for the Eastman Theatre in Rochester, New York. In advance of seeing the films themselves, Madalena would work with still photographs, press materials, and his passion for particular performers to create one-of-a-kind posters promoting larger-than-life subjects, all on a scale that could be clearly seen from cars passing the theater’s outdoor poster vitrines. Working alone over a four-year period and against deadlines that required as many as eight new posters a week for each change of bill, Madalena created over 1,400 original works before the end of his tenure, when the theater changed management. Approximately 250 of these posters survived when the artist himself rescued them from the trash behind the theater. -
