  • Film Essay for "7Th Heaven"
    7th Heaven By Aubrey Solomon In the years between 1926 and 1928, Hollywood ex- perienced a maturation which blended art and indus- try to a new level of cinema. Influenced heavily by the experiments of foreign talents, largely German, new concepts of cinematography, lighting, set de- sign, and special effects known as “trick shots,” per- meated American film-making methods. The somber and sometimes morbid themes of German cinema also seeped into their films, often to the chagrin of American exhibitors who preferred their own exuber- ant optimism and happy endings. “7th Heaven” characterizes a perfect blend of opti- mistic romantic fantasy and German influenced pro- duction design. It also became one of the most pop- ular films of the late silent era. Its opening title card set the tone: “For those who will climb it, there is a ladder leading from the depths to the heights - from the sewer to the stars - the ladder of Courage.” Based on a hugely successful play by Austin Strong which ran at the Booth Theatre on Broadway from October 30, 1922, to May 21,1924 for a total of 685 performances, it portrayed the travails of young lov- An advertisement from a June 1927 edition of Motion ers who meet amidst the sordid gutters of pre-World Picture News.

By November of that year, studies by the Local Agency Formation Commission confirmed that incorporation was indeed economically feasible. Tenants led by the Coalition for Economic Survival, homeowners concerned with planning issues and the gay community were among the leading advocates of cityhoog. Formal application was made on April 4, 1984. On November 4, 1984, by a 4:1 favorable margin, the voters approved incorporation . One of the new city's first tasks was to begin to draft a General Plan , the land use policy document for the municipality required· by State law. In January of 1985, the city began the process of preparing the Plan, noting that the physical environment, social character and quality of life within the City would be influenced by the General Plan. It was a stated goal to link land use and urban design, emphasizing the relationship between parcels and uses throughout the city. A reduction of density from those outlined in the West Hollywood Community Plan, .---- prepared before incorporated by the County of Los Angeles, was planned. As an i ntegral part of this planning process. the city of West Hollywood applied for c survey grant from the State Off ice of Historic Preservation in November of 1985 . 1.2 DEVELOPMENT HISTORY The area now known as West Hollywood has played a key role in t h e development of Los Angeles County west of Los Angeles .

  • Raoul Walsh to Attend Opening of Retrospective Tribute at Museum
    The Museum of Modern Art jl west 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019 Tel. 956-6100 Cable: Modernart NO. 34 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE RAOUL WALSH TO ATTEND OPENING OF RETROSPECTIVE TRIBUTE AT MUSEUM Raoul Walsh, 87-year-old film director whose career in motion pictures spanned more than five decades, will come to New York for the opening of a three-month retrospective of his films beginning Thursday, April 18, at The Museum of Modern Art. In a rare public appearance Mr. Walsh will attend the 8 pm screening of "Gentleman Jim," his 1942 film in which Errol Flynn portrays the boxing champion James J. Corbett. One of the giants of American filmdom, Walsh has worked in all genres — Westerns, gangster films, war pictures, adventure films, musicals — and with many of Hollywood's greatest stars — Victor McLaglen, Gloria Swanson, Douglas Fair­ banks, Mae West, James Cagney, Humphrey Bogart, Marlene Dietrich and Edward G. Robinson, to name just a few. It is ultimately as a director of action pictures that Walsh is best known and a growing body of critical opinion places him in the front rank with directors like Ford, Hawks, Curtiz and Wellman. Richard Schickel has called him "one of the best action directors...we've ever had" and British film critic Julian Fox has written: "Raoul Walsh, more than any other legendary figure from Hollywood's golden past, has truly lived up to the early cinema's reputation for 'action all the way'...." Walsh's penchant for action is not surprising considering he began his career more than 60 years ago as a stunt-rider in early "westerns" filmed in the New Jersey hills.
