The Last Days of Buster Keaton John C. Tibbetts
Fall 1995 79 The Hole in the Doughnut: The Last Days of Buster Keaton John C. Tibbetts In the Fall of 1995 Eleanor Norris Keaton will come to Kansas to celebrate the 100th birthday of her late husband.1 Part of an extensive itinerary that also takes her to other centenary observances in New York, Muskegon, Michigan, and Los Angeles, the Kansas trip is particularly poignant. Keaton was born on October 4,1895, in the tiny farm community of Piqua, in southeast Kansas, while his parents were performing with a medicine show.2 Although he may have been a Kansan only through sheer accident of circumstances—the baby and his mother remained in Piqua only two weeks before rejoining the troupe on the road—he returned there many times as a child on tour with his parents.3 Later, the classic slapstick comedian paid tribute to his home state in many of the themes and situations of his best films, most notably in the cyclone sequence in Steamboat Bill, Jr. (1928). To my mind, even his trademark "deadly horizontal" hat (as James Agee described it) evokes the stark flatness of the Kansas prairies.4 While the Keaton phenomenon will be fully explored throughout the centenary year, Eleanor herself should not be forgotten. By all accounts, she was an important force in Buster's later years. "She has seen Buster Keaton through a long period of painful adjustment, relapse, and readjustment and a dozen partial comebacks," wrote Rudi Blesh, shortly before Buster's death on February 1,1966. "She has carried him, content and at times happy, across the threshold of his seventies. -

ISBN (10): 1-5275-0818-8 ISBN (13): 978-1-5275-0818-7 This text is dedicated to Steven Spielberg, who has given me so much enjoyment and made me experience so many emotions, and because he makes me believe in human beings. I also dedicate this book to my ancestors from my mother’s side, who for centuries were able to move from Spain to Mexico and loved both countries in their hearts. This lesson remains for future generations. My father, of Spanish Sephardic origin, helped me so much, encouraging me in every intellectual pursuit. I hope that contemporary researchers share their knowledge and open their minds and hearts, valuing what other researchers do whatever their language or nation, as some academics have done for me. Love and wisdom have no language, nationality, or gender.

Ronald Davis Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts
Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts in America Southern Methodist University The Southern Methodist University Oral History Program was begun in 1972 and is part of the University’s DeGolyer Institute for American Studies. The goal is to gather primary source material for future writers and cultural historians on all branches of the performing arts- opera, ballet, the concert stage, theatre, films, radio, television, burlesque, vaudeville, popular music, jazz, the circus, and miscellaneous amateur and local productions. The Collection is particularly strong, however, in the areas of motion pictures and popular music and includes interviews with celebrated performers as well as a wide variety of behind-the-scenes personnel, several of whom are now deceased. Most interviews are biographical in nature although some are focused exclusively on a single topic of historical importance. The Program aims at balancing national developments with examples from local history. Interviews with members of the Dallas Little Theatre, therefore, serve to illustrate a nation-wide movement, while film exhibition across the country is exemplified by the Interstate Theater Circuit of Texas. The interviews have all been conducted by trained historians, who attempt to view artistic achievements against a broad social and cultural backdrop. Many of the persons interviewed, because of educational limitations or various extenuating circumstances, would never write down their experiences, and therefore valuable information on our nation’s cultural heritage would be lost if it were not for the S.M.U. Oral History Program. Interviewees are selected on the strength of (1) their contribution to the performing arts in America, (2) their unique position in a given art form, and (3) availability. -

But auteurism refuses to go away. It crops up in Film Institute and Festival retrospectives, in the programming of repertory cinemas, as the Routledge & organising principle behind cinema seasons on television, in educational Kegan Paul, 1981. See also Stephen syllabuses and among the assumptions of articles in Screen itself. Indeed Jenkins (ed) Fritz there remains, as Caughie argues, a reluctant sense in which while it is Lang: The Image assumed that authorship (in both its traditional humanist 'exception to and the Look, London, British the Hollywood rule' and its post-structuralist 'subject's construction of Film Institute, and by a reading' guises) is an inadequate critical concept, it is difficult - 1981. Jenkins if not altogether impossible-to entirely dispense with it. Caughie's conceives of 'Lang' neither anthology itself collects much of the best writing on the relation between biographically nor texts and authors but is quick to acknowledge the relative absence of structurally, since work on the relation between authors and contexts. Understandably the former assumes a dubious of the liberal extensions
