  • Hollywood Be Thy Name
    UC_Weisenfeld.qxd 11/1/06 2:58 PM Page 19 one .“’Taint What You Was, It’s What You Is Today” Hallelujah and the Politics of Racial Authenticity In 1928 King Vidor, one of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer’s most successful directors, find- ing himself between projects, decided to spend some time in Europe. Having directed a number of important and successful silent films for the studio—most notably The Big Parade (1925), a tremendously popular World War I epic, and The Crowd (1928), a study of the life of an average man in the large urban environment of New York City—Vidor returned home when the studio asked him to direct his first sound film. Despite his initial predictions that “sound pictures [would] do away entirely with the art of motion pictures,” Vidor soon began to see the possibilities that the new technology presented and was especially excited that sound would make it possible for him to direct a film that he had long wanted to make.1 Synchronous sound, in which the dialogue or singing corresponds with the movements of the actors’ lips, had only begun to make its way into American feature films since the 1927 release of Warner Bros.’ landmark film The Jazz Singer, itself very much about complex processes of racializing religion in America.2 Just as the projection of con- structions of race had been part of the development of the silent motion picture, as D. W. Griffith’s 1915 The Birth of a Nation had ably demonstrated, so the addition of sound had been bound up in conjunctions of religion and race from the outset.

  • Highland Park)
    August 31, 2009 Attn: City Clerk (c/o John White) City Council City of Los Angeles 200 N. Spring Street Los Angeles, CA 90012 RE: Council File # 09-1812 and ZA-2008-4317 (Alcohol Permit for Tropicana Market, 5200 Monte Vista st. in Highland Park) Dear City Council Members: As a long-time resident and homeowner in Highland Park, I would like to go on record in opposition of the City's approval or determination of "public convenience or necessity" associated with the applicant's request for a new alcohol permit from ABC and the required Los Angeles Alcohol Conditional Use Permit. Because this particular application (Tropicana Market) is in a census tract that already exceeds the maximum number of permits allowed by state law, I am opposed to the applicant's request for an Alcohol CUP and the City should not consider this of "public convenience or necessity." In addition, I have been to several community meetings at Monte Vista Elementary School about the crime and violence in our community and this particular location is less than two blocks away from this important elementary school and does not comply with the requirement to be over 1,000 feet away from schools, churches, parks, etc. I am supportive of our community's small businesses and their survival. Since this particular business has had a successful operation for many years without the sale of alcohol, I ask that you simply deny this request (and any new permit requests) for a new alcohol license in this census tract. There are other alternatives for this business, such as finding and purchasing an existing alcohol permit for this census tract, if they feel the need to expand their product offerings in this manner.

The children’s summer break is filled with wonder, mischief and adventure while the adults around them struggle with hard times. Throughout the United States, budget motels have become a last refuge for people who have found themselves unable to secure a permanent residence. A growing “hidden homeless” population, 41% of which is composed of families, struggles week to week in order to keep a roof over their heads. Our story takes place just outside of Orlando, the vacation capital of the world and home to “The Most Magical Place on Earth.” Along the main highway that runs through the land of theme parks and resorts, budget motels that once attracted tourists by exploiting the Disney mystique, now house homeless families. Moonee and her twenty-two year old mother, Halley, live at one such establishment — The Magic Castle Motel. The closest thing Moonee has to a father is Bobby, the motel’s manager, a guarded and diligent man who is taunted by the children’s antics. Halley has lost her job and a new girl the same age as Moonee has moved in at the motel next door - it's going to be an eventful summer.
