UC-Studlar-text-CS5.5-revs.indd 18 9/17/2012 11:33:13 AM Chapter 1 Oh, “Doll Divine” Mary Pickford, Masquerade, and the Pedophilic Gaze Mary Pickford, doll divine, Year by year, and every day At the moving-picture play, You have been my valentine. — Vachel Lindsay, “To Mary Pickford, Moving-Picture Actress” Mary Pickford was, arguably, the most famous woman of the first quar- ter of the twentieth century. Inarguably, she was one of the first major stars of the Hollywood film industry and one of the very few — female or male — able to sustain stardom for more than twenty years. Born Gladys Smith in Toronto, Canada, Mary Pickford became a stage actress at age six (published age “5”). She first appeared in motion pictures in one-reel- ers of American Biograph in the spring of 1909. In the 1910s the actress known as “Our Little Mary” quickly cemented her popularity through numerous films that coincided with the industry’s shift to Hollywood and using the actor as a personality for drawing audiences to the box- office.1 Pickford was promoted as “America’s Sweetheart,” “The World’s Sweetheart,” and, as poet Vachel Lindsay dubbed her, “The Queen of the Movies.”2 Her films for Famous Players in the late 1910s regularly netted more than a million dollars a year. In 1918 an article in American Magazine proclaimed what by then was obvious: “Our Little Mary” had become “the most popular motion

Trice, Associate Professor COMMITTEE MEMBER: Kathleen Cairns, Part Time Lecturer COMMITTEE MEMBER: John G. Snetsinger, Part Time Lecturer ABSTRACT Frances Marion and Mary Pickford Christopher Zeidel iv This thesis attempts to find out how Frances Marion and Mary Pickford survived the film industry by having a strong working relationship. It is revealed through letters, films, autobiographies, and newspapers that Marion and Pickford were good friends and had worked closely together for years. Their friendship helped them to work hard enough to continue making films between the late 1910s and 1920s. Unfortunately, this topic is challenging because there has not been enough historical work done to give us a completely clear and accurate picture of how Marion and Pickford helped one another to continue working in the movie industry. More information is available on their careers that have nothing to do with their relationship. There were ways in which they struggled to work and reasons for why they survived the industry that have nothing to do with their working relationship. TABLE OF CONTENTS v CHAPTER I.

COMMENTS Neither Pollyanna nor Cassandra, But Positive Commitment to Human Values Jefferson B. Fordham* To me the positive message of the paper is that we should view our condition with a sense of history and a sense of humor and, in that perspective, dwell more upon the good that we perceive in ourselves, our institutions, and our performance. That is fine, but it does not tell us enough. We know that in all ages man has been in no wise more conspicuous than in his inhumanity to man. The record of torture and slaughter during the Crusades and the Inquisition, movements associated with religion, darkens the pages of history. What must be noted is that the contemporary period is strikingly different. I do not condemn a disposition to be optimistic and to look for the good in society but we must, if we are to survive, confront the realities of our times.

  • Pollyanna by Eleanor H. Porter
    Chapter 1 Miss Polly Miss Polly Harrington hurried into her kitchen this June morning. She didn’t usually move so quickly. In fact, she took pride in being a calm person. But today she was actually hurrying. Nancy looked up from washing the dishes. She’d been working in Miss Polly’s kitchen for only two months. But she already knew that her employer never hurried. “Nancy!” “Yes, ma’am,” Nancy answered, as she kept drying the pitcher in her hand. “Nancy,” Miss Polly commanded. “When I talk to you, I want you to stop what you’re doing and listen to me.” Nancy’s face darkened. She was so upset at being scolded that she almost dropped the pitcher. “Yes, ma’am. I will, ma’am,” she stammered. “I kept doing my work because earlier you told me to hurry up with the dishes.” 1 2 ELEANOR H. PORTER Miss Polly frowned. “That will do, Nancy. I did not ask for explanations. I asked for your attention.” “Yes, ma’am,” Nancy sighed. Would she ever be able to please this woman? This was Nancy’s fi rst real job. Her father had died recently, and she needed to help support her sick mother and her three younger sisters. At fi rst Nancy was pleased to work in this large house up on the hill. She’d always known that Miss Polly Harrington was one of the richest people in town. But now she also knew that Miss Polly was a stern woman who always wore a severe expression on her face.

  • Mary Pickford
    Mary Pickford Also Known As: Mary Pickford Rogers, Gladys Smith, Gladys Louise Smith, Gladys Mary Smith Lived: April 8, 1892 - May 29, 1979 Worked as: company director, distributor, film actress, film company founding partner, producer, screenwriter, theatre actress Worked In: United States by Christel Schmidt Mary Pickford was born Gladys Smith in 1892 in Toronto, Canada. After her father was killed in an accident, Gladys became the family’s main breadwinner by performing in the theatre. She was seven years old. In fact, the stage became a family venture, as her younger siblings Lottie and Jack and even her mother took up the trade. But the drive and determination to be a star belonged solely to Gladys. In 1907, her ambition would take her to Broadway and famed producer-director David Belasco, who changed her name to Mary Pickford and gave her a part in “The Warrens of Virginia.” In 1909, when Pickford was between stage engagements, she approached director D. W. Griffith at the Biograph Company in New York and asked for work in moving pictures. She had no intention of working permanently in the new medium, but hoped the income would tide her over before she went back to Belasco and the stage. Pickford was intrigued with film acting, and before long she began to enjoy “posing” for motion pictures. She stayed with the Biograph Company, working as both an actress and writer from 1909 to 1911, leaving for a brief stint with the Independent Motion Picture Company (IMP), and later with Majestic Pictures Corporation. She returned to Griffith at Biograph in early 1912, finishing out the year with him.

  • Happiness, Depression, and the Pollyanna Principle
    Bulletin ofthe Psychonomic Society 1980, Vol. 15 (5), 321-323 Happiness, depression, and the Pollyanna principle WILLIAM N. DEMBER and LARRY PENWELL University ofCincinnati, Cincinnati, Ohio 4522J People give precedence to pleasant over unpleasant events, a ubiquitous tendency called the Pollyanna principle. Thus, pleasant items are " spewed" early in list-generating tasks, and the more positive member of an antonym pair is uttered first. Not everyone does this. We have demonstrated modest correlations between the Pollyanna tendency on an antonym pair­ generation task and two happiness measures; a list-generation task yielded Pollyanna prin­ ciple results, but the two tasks were uncorrelated, and the list task was not correlated with happiness. Scores on the Beck Depression Inventory correlated negatively with happiness but not with either Pollyanna measure. Matlin and Stang (1979) have summarized a large and the degree of correlation between the happiness and varied literature under the rubric of the Pollyanna depression scales. Our expectation was that in a college principle.
