First Edition PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (&Clfc 115880;(V OO to 6 4 f\ C. C. L. a life as rich in achievement as it was brief in years A Roof Against the Rain First Book Chapter One Old Simeon Goodrich knew it was the end when he saw them deployed about his bedside—Dr. Newton, two nurses, Judge Ramsey, Mrs. Crowley, Bob Otis. Ramsey was his lawyer; Crowley, the housekeeper. Bob was his dead niece’s husband, one of these static widowers. Bob looked concerned. He had plenty to concern him, now that he was about to become the whole works and head of the Goodrich chain of ten-cent stores. Over the shoulders of fat little Newton and a stocky nurse, Simeon’s eyes rested on two oil portraits on the opposite wall—Junior and Ada, his children, killed in a car crash, fifteen years ago. Their mother’s picture, Meenie’s, was between them; but tall Judge Ramsey was planted in the line of vision and Simeon only saw an edge of the frame that inclosed Meenie’s fret¬ ful little face and drooping apologetic pose. Twenty years since Meenie had lain on this same bed—and went out, holding Junior and Ada close to her. As he thought back, Simeon recalled his own feelings at his wife’s deathbed—an outsider, not in the picture at all. 3 4 A ROOF She was a sickly woman, always telling him that he’d be married before the grass was green on her grave. Well, he hadn’t married—he’d fooled Meenie. She had it all wrong —no grave, no grass—a marble mausoleum instead. A lot of women had tried to get him, for his money, but he fooled them, too. After losing Junior and Ada, others bobbed up, then, avaricious relatives with an eye to his will —cousins, dozens of cousins, swarms of them! He fooled them, too; and saw to it that they couldn’t fool him in the end with a bunch of shyster lawyers to prove he was crazy and break his will. Not a red sou markee could any of his kin get hold of now. He wasn’t leaving a will. He was leaving everything tied up in trust funds for the Goodrich Memorial. The Memorial was one of these welfare centers in the slums, founded soon after he had lost Junior and Ada. In fact, there were two welfare centers—the Memorial proper and the branch house, the Annex. Simeon smiled at the thought of such secure repository. Absolutely safe. Popular opinion is behind a thing like that, the sentimental idealism of John Q. Public, who enjoys seeing the ten-cent profits go back to the poor,—and the relations whistling for them. Almost finished now, Simeon thought. He was going to the mausoleum, with no expectant heirs rejoicing at his exit. No crocodile tears on his coffin. Everybody, kin included, knew damned well where the Goodrich wad was already located. Of course, Cornelia Cromwell was in for the time of her life from now on, cock-of-the-walk at the Goodrich Me¬ morial. Great God, that woman, Cornelia! She was presi¬ dent of the Memorial Executive Board. Simeon hated her and respected her. In his life’s experience, she was the one thing he had never been able to master. Nothing mastered AGAINST THE RAIN 5 her. The Executive Board members were just so many planks for Cornelia to walk on. She had the back of a Tammany sachem, the front of a Methodist bishop. And clever as hell. The man for the job ahead of her. There was another, too, of like stripe, Annie Elliot at the Annex. The two god- damnedest females that ever got hold of power, and each hating the other. Imagine Elizabeth Tudor, with Catherine the Great her rival across the border. Well, let them go to it. Both hellions. What did he care so long as the Memorial and Annex accomplished his objec¬ tive, the satisfaction of going to the grave with the say-so of who wasn’t to have his money. Bunk, all this social work and uplift business. It had bored him from the start, round¬ ing up the tenement crowds for clean wholesome recreation and self-improvement. All he had ever cared to see of their doings was the shows they put on in the Memorial Theatre. The dramatic stuff was fun, so rotten he liked it. One of the actresses had amber hair—like Ada’s, his daughter’s, hair. The tenement girl was very appealing, not much of an actress, but damned decorative. Nothing like catchy decorations. Get the eye of the public, and the public is yours. He had learned that, long ago—it was the show in the Goodrich store windows that sold the goods over the counters behind them. By George, thinking of that girl now, he was going to leave her something! Simeon looked around his bed and met a battery of eyes, fixed, staring at him. In for the kill, were they? Giving them a show, was he? Just for that, they’ll get no show— he’d die in private. “Get out,” he told them; “get out of here, every jack of you! Ramsey, get them away—I’ve had enough of this ante-mortem inquest!” 6 A ROOF As the room cleared, Simeon beckoned his lawyer to him. "Ramsey,” he said weakly, "hand me my checkbook. There’s a little girl at the Memorial that reminds me of Ada. I’ll leave a check for her, a thousand dollars. That’s not enough to spoil the kid, but it can get her set up in house¬ keeping when she marries a chauffeur or a clerk. She’s a smart little girl, the kind that should pick a good man for herself.” "I’ll fill out the check,” the Judge told him, "and you can sign it. What’s her name?” "The name’s Mary.” "Her last name?” "That’s slipped me. But you can place her—light brown hair and eyes,—blondish—very pretty, the theatre you know—she takes part in. .” The voice failed to a murmur, and old Simeon Goodrich met death with a twisted smile that told his lawyer nothing. Ramsey laid the checkbook back on the bedside table and called in Dr. Newton for a final service to a patient whose death had the same brittle quality as his living. A vision of tomorrow’s obituaries rose before the lawyer. The press, he knew, would chronicle the passing of a great philanthropist—a big heart that had ceased its benevolent beating! What bunk would be printed at old Simeon’s exit—padded, bolstered, synthetic! Downstairs, in the library, the Judge found them as¬ sembled: Bob Otis standing in front of the mantel; Cor¬ nelia Cromwell posted by a window, looking out absently on Riverside Drive; Old Abner Johnson, asleep in Simeon’s chair at the roll-top desk that clashed harshly with the colonial pieces poor Meenie had collected. Of the three, old Abner was the only one who really cared. When he AGAINST THE RAIN 7 woke up, he would cry and shed a few honest, senile tears. Before the old fellow had become a doddering, repetitious chatterer, he had been a crony of Simeon’s. But Goodrich friendship was as peculiar as all Goodrich attributes—too brittle to be bored with Abner in his failing years. "Is it all over?” asked Mrs. Cromwell, turning from the window at Ramsey’s entrance. "Yes, Cornelia, all over; Simeon has just passed away.” At that, she crossed the room, wakening the sleeper. The old man was her uncle, and very much under her thumb. Abner, too, must soon pass on and leave a goodly portion of the world’s goods. His heirs-at-law were Cornelia and her cousin, Herbert Johnson. The blood be¬ tween them was thin as water—but turbulent water, boil¬ ing, poisonous. At present, Herbert was in the discard. The Judge knew. Only last week, he had drawn up Ab¬ ner’s last will, entirely in Cornelia’s favor. The legal man’s lips straightened at the recollection—this business of piling up a tower of money! It seemed so grim, so ghastly com¬ ical—money, this short tenure of possession. "They’re all gone now,” Johnson sobbed. "Alone, left all alone, the last of my generation.” Ramsey noted the woman’s pose, an attitude of sym¬ pathy, one hand on the old man’s shoulder, the other with handkerchief in seemly gesture. But behind it the lawyer detected no tears. From now on, the Goodrich Memorial was Cornelia’s realm, hers to govern without interference. Bob Otis’s hands dug deeper into his pockets, his gaze fall¬ ing to the tiles about the mantel. Ramsey wished he could have caught what was behind the Otis eyes. This was Bob’s great day too; he was no longer a big man’s man; he was the big man himself now, sole head of the Goodrich 8 A ROOF system of ten-cent stores.

  • “The Spice of the Program” Educational Pictures and the Small-Town Audience
    3 “The Spice of the Program” Educational Pictures and the Small-Town Audience “What the hell’s educational about a comedy?” asked slapstick producer Jack White in an interview toward the end of his life. “Something that was very offen- sive to me,” he continued, “was [the slogan] . ‘This is an Educational Comedy.’ There’s no such thing as educating yourself with a comedy. It’s a stupid name.”1 The object of White’s ire? The company for which he had produced and directed two- reel shorts for over a decade—the comedy distributor with the most unlikely of names: Educational Pictures. The company had been formed in 1915 as the Educational Films Corporation by real-estate man Earle W. Hammons, with the intent indicated by its name: to provide educational subjects for school, church, and other nontheatrical pur- poses. But by the late 1910s Hammons had realized little profit from this idea and began to target the commercial field, setting in motion a process of expan- sion that would see Educational become the dominant short-comedy distributor of the late silent era. “It did not take me long to find out that the demand [for educational films] did not exist and that we could not survive by doing that alone,” Hammons later recalled.2 As early as the 1918–1919 season, Educational had begun to diversify its product lines, adding Happy Hooligan and Silk Hat Harry cartoons to its weekly program of travelogues and informational sub- jects.3 In April 1920, Hammons signed director Jack White and comedian Lloyd Hamilton from Fox’s Sunshine Comedies to produce two-reel comedies under the brand name Mermaid Comedies, and began immediately taking further strides into the comedy market.4 The program for Educational’s 1920–1921 season, which represented the company’s first year of general commercial release, included four comedy series: the Mermaids, produced by White; C.

  • 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.

  • Spite Marriage
    Spite Marriage (1929) By John Bengtson, © 2004 Buster meets Dorothy in front of the east end of the Museum of Natural History at Exposition Park facing the Rose Garden. A vintage photo of the museum and Exposition Park. The cast and crew take a break filming the art museum scene in front of the Rose Garden in Exposition Park. Leila Hyams (seated , far left) appears in a fox hunting outfit, although she does not appear in the scene filmed here. She may have been dressed for a country club scene that was cut from the final film. To her right is Edward Earle, who plays Lionel Benmore. Director Ed Sedgwick is in the center. Between him and Buster is Ernie Orsetti, an outfielder for the St. Louis Cardinals who had returned from the World Series to work for Buster. Notice Norman MacNeil, the musician on the silent film set, with an accordion, behind Buster. 1 The hand placing the wedding ring in this shot is a hand double standing in for Buster. Buster lost the tip of his right index finger in a childhood accident, and his shortened finger is plainly visible in other shots. Buster used a hand double for a similar wedding ring shot in his earlier feature film Battling Butler. Hand doubles were often used to film insert shots in order to allow the stars to go home a bit early, but in this case it may have been an artistic decision. Lionel confronts Buster outside of the Hotel Carmel, located at 1451 Second Street in Santa Monica, on the corner of Broadway.

  • 1 Introducing American Silent Film Comedy: Clowns, Conformity, Consumerism
    Notes 1 Introducing American Silent Film Comedy: Clowns, Conformity, Consumerism 1. This speech has often been erroneously quoted (not least by Adam Curtis in his 2002 documentary The Century of the Self ) as ‘You have taken over the job of creating desire and transformed people into constantly moving happi- ness machines’ – a tremendously resonant phrase, but not one which actually appears in the text of Hoover’s speech. Spencer Howard of the Herbert Hoover Presidential Library attributes the corrupted version to a mis-transcription several decades later. 2. The title of his 1947 essay. His key writings in the 1920s were Crystallizing Public Opinion (1923) and Propaganda (1928). 3. Of course, not all responded sympathetically to the film’s vicious racist message. The NAACP mounted a particularly effective campaign against the film, which was banned in several states and sparked mass protests in others. For the full story see Melvyn Stoke, D.W. Griffith’s ‘The Birth a Nation’, Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2008. 4. CPI titles made in 1917/18 include America’s Answer, Under Four Flags and Pershing’s Crusaders – distributors who wanted the new Fairbanks or Pickford picture would be forced to take a CPI release as well. 2 A Convention of Crazy Bugs: Mack Sennett and the US’s Immigrant Unconscious 1. The temptation, here, is to regard Sennett’s name and the Keystone brand as being broadly synonymous, but one should remember that Sennett started off, first, as an actor and then, as a director at Biograph in 1909; the Key- stone Company was set up by Adam Kessel and Charles Baumann in 1912 (Sennett was never the owner).
