ESTABLISHING SHOT: FILMOGRAPHY 16 2 3 INTRODUCTION - copyright © Yves Debraine Forty years ago, on Christmas morning, Charlie Chaplin died in his sleep, surrounded by his loved ones. His Swiss home, the Manoir de Ban, is now a museum. To pay homage to the man who elevated cinema from an industry to an art form, Chaplin’s World by Grévin has initiated a series of commemorations that bring to life the legacy of this global film icon. These will be held at Chaplin’s beloved home, the Manoir de Ban Estate, with the support of his family. Although Chaplin did not particularly care for the holiday, he and his children still celebrated an American-style Christmas. An enormous Christmas tree dominated the Manoir’s entrance hall and stockings were hung over fireplaces, waiting to be filled with presents and candy. Far from a joyless, melancholy tribute, the commemorations will show gratitude to a man and an artist whose work is not only universal, but everlasting. Chaplin may have left us forty years ago, but his work is more widely seen and relevant than ever. The entire Chaplin’s World team joins me in wishing you a happy and festive holiday season, surrounded by your family... watching a Chaplin film!

  • Dangerously Free: Outlaws and Nation-Making in Literature of the Indian Territory
    DANGEROUSLY FREE: OUTLAWS AND NATION-MAKING IN LITERATURE OF THE INDIAN TERRITORY by Jenna Hunnef A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of English University of Toronto © Copyright by Jenna Hunnef 2016 Dangerously Free: Outlaws and Nation-Making in Literature of the Indian Territory Jenna Hunnef Doctor of Philosophy Department of English University of Toronto 2016 Abstract In this dissertation, I examine how literary representations of outlaws and outlawry have contributed to the shaping of national identity in the United States. I analyze a series of texts set in the former Indian Territory (now part of the state of Oklahoma) for traces of what I call “outlaw rhetorics,” that is, the political expression in literature of marginalized realities and competing visions of nationhood. Outlaw rhetorics elicit new ways to think the nation differently—to imagine the nation otherwise; as such, I demonstrate that outlaw narratives are as capable of challenging the nation’s claims to territorial or imaginative title as they are of asserting them. Borrowing from Abenaki scholar Lisa Brooks’s definition of “nation” as “the multifaceted, lived experience of families who gather in particular places,” this dissertation draws an analogous relationship between outlaws and domestic spaces wherein they are both considered simultaneously exempt from and constitutive of civic life. In the same way that the outlaw’s alternately celebrated and marginal status endows him or her with the power to support and eschew the stories a nation tells about itself, so the liminality and centrality of domestic life have proven effective as a means of consolidating and dissenting from the status quo of the nation-state.

    THE GREAT DYING A thesis submitted To Kent State University in partial Fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing by Amy Purcell August, 2013 Thesis written by Amy Purcell B.S., Ohio University, 1989 M.F.A., Kent State University, 2013 Approved by Varley O’Connor, Advisor Robert W. Trogdon, Chair, Department of Psychology Raymond A. Craig, Dean, College of Arts and Sciences ii CHAPTER ONE Lucy Sullivan first noticed she was disappearing on Monday morning as she prepared to return to work at the Field Museum. This was two weeks after Sean had died, at the peak of Chicago’s worst heat wave in history, and two weeks after she had asked, politely, for time and space alone. The apartment smelled of the worn-out sympathies of friends. Baskets of shriveled oranges and pears and wilting lilies and roses moldered on the coffee table and mantle above the fireplace in the living room and anywhere else Lucy had found room to place them. She was certain there were even more baskets waiting for her outside the door of the apartment. She hadn’t opened the door during her seclusion, hadn’t touched the fruit or watered the plants. The idea that a dozen oranges or a clichéd peace plant would alleviate her grief brought on such an unreasonable rage that she’d decided it was best to ignore the whole lot. Outside it was pitch black, except for the sickly yellow-white pools of light illuminating the empty, elevated train tracks above North Sedgwick Avenue.

  • Mabel Normand
    Mabel Normand Also Known As: Mabel Fortescue Lived: November 9, 1892 - February 23, 1930 Worked as: co-director, comedienne, director, film actress, producer, scenario writer Worked In: United States by Simon Joyce, Jennifer Putzi Mabel Normand starred in at least one hundred and sixty-seven film shorts and twenty-three full- length features, mainly for Mack Sennett’s Keystone Film Company, and was one of the earliest silent actors to function as her own director. She was also one of the first leading performers to appear on film without a previous background in the theatre (having begun her career in modeling), to be named in the title of her films (beginning with 1912’s Mabel’s Lovers), and to have her own studio (the ill-fated Mabel Normand Feature Film Company). That her contributions to early film history are not better known is attributable in part to her involvement in the Hollywood scandals of the 1920s, and in part to our reliance on the self-interested memoirs of her better-known colleagues (especially Sennett and Charlie Chaplin) following her death at age thirty-eight. It is hard to get an accurate picture from such questionable and contradictory recollections, or from interviews with Normand herself, filtered as they often were through a sophisticated publicity operation at Keystone. Film scholars who have worked with these same sources have often proved just as discrepant and unreliable, especially in their accounts of her directorial contributions. Normand’s early career included stints at the Biograph Company, working with D. W. Griffith, and at the Vitagraph Company, yet it was her work at Keystone that solidified her image as slapstick comedienne.

  • An In-Depth Look at Chaplin's Mutual Comedies by Jeffrey
    An In-Depth Look at Chaplin’s Mutual Comedies By Jeffrey Vance, film historian The Floorwalker (Released: May 15, 1916) Embezzlement is the subject of The Floorwalker, Chaplin’s first film under his landmark contract with Lone Star-Mutual. Chaplin’s inspiration for the film came while he and his brother Sydney were in New York City negotiating his contract with Mutual. While walking up Sixth Avenue at Thirty-third Street, Chaplin saw a man fall down an escalator serving the adjacent elevated train station and at once realized the comic possibilities of a moving staircase. He asked his technical director, Ed Brewer, to design and construct an escalator in a department store set designed by art director and master of properties George “Scotty” Cleethorpe (who had worked for Chaplin at Essanay). “With a bare notion I would order sets, and during the building of them the art director would come to me for details, and I would bluff and give them particulars about where I wanted doors and archways.” Chaplin wrote in his autobiography, “In this desperate way I started many a comedy.” (18) After seeing The Floorwalker, Mack Sennett commented, “Why the hell didn’t we ever think of a running staircase?” (19) The Floorwalker has none of the pathos, romance, or irony of the best Chaplin Mutuals. The crudeness and cruelty of his earlier films is still evident in The Floorwalker, although the film contains a stronger plot than most of his previous films, and the moving-staircase chase was novel for 1916. A glimpse of Chaplin’s evolution to a more graceful type of screen comedy is evident in Charlie’s dance when he discovers the valise of stolen money and dives into the bag.

If in that reality they subject the world to an often unbearable discipline, the film in turn dismantles this self-imposed order quite forcefully. siegfried kracauer, “Artistisches und Amerikanisches” (1926) When, in 1912, the Moving Picture World critic W.Stephen Bush lamented the “absence of genuine humor” in a majority of comic films, he was merely making explicit a perception that had long been accepted at the grass-roots level.1 Feeling short-changed by an industry that had drasti- cally cut back its comedy output since 1908, theater owners had taken to writing to trade journals to voice their dissatisfactions. “There is too much high class drama, which cannot be understood by the average working man,” noted one such exhibitor. “A very large proportion seems to thor- oughly enjoy the old Essanay slap-stick variety.”2 Filmmakers, too, acknowl- edged the demand: “Can you write a good comedy?” Photoplay asked its readers in October 1912. “Try it, for the producer will pay more attention to it just now than any other.”3 “Comedies, comedies, comedies,” a studio sce- narist demanded in another issue of the same publication. “Get your scriptwriting readers to try their hand at comedies; we need them, all film producers want them.”4 No doubt there was reason to be thankful, then, when the formation of a new, all-comedy company was announced that fall.
