Colaboradores: Adolphe Menjou, Walter Long, Lucien Littlefie d, George Warner, Ruth Miller y F. R. Butler. Argumpnto de Edith M. Hu í. dirección de George Melford y adaptación a la escena cinematográfica de Monte M. Katterjohn. Diana Mayo, bella joven inglesa, emprende un viaje ai desierto de Sahara, no obs­ tante las protestas de sus familias y amigos. En Briska, se disfraza de esclava y pene­ tra en un casino, donde el Jeque Ahmed ofrece una fiesta. El jeque decide secuestrar a la muchacha y lo consigue, mediante un guía venal. Hócela su esclava, pero Diana, re­ belde siempre, rehúsa ceder a sus insinuaciones amorosas y finalmente, trata de escapar a caballo, pero el animal cae y se lastima a tiempo que Ornar, un bandido del desierto, atraído por la belleza de la desconocida, quiere roba'la para sí El Jeque llega oportu­ namente al sitio de los acontecimientos, salva a Diana y. temeroso de que el bandolero se apodere de ella más tarde, la envía a Briska con Saint Hubert, un novelista amigo suyo. Pero, por el camino, Ornar cae sobre ellos y Saint Hubert resulta herido y la jo­ ven prisionera. El Jeque se entera de su cautividad, llama en torno a los guerreros de su tribu y cae sobre las mesnadas del bandolero en momentos en que Diana va a sui­ cidarse para escapar a las caricias de Ornar. Luchan todos, el salteador muere y el Je­ que sale gravemente herido de la contienda. Sobreviene entonces el inevitable enamora­ miento entre la dulce enfermera y el héroe herido, con la no menos inevitable complica­ ción de que el Jeque no es árabe, a fin de que las multitudes no se asusten del consa- do matrimonio final. Esta producción es de las que dejan sati-feehos a los espectadores de todas partes, por razón de su tema romántico, sus pintorescos pai-ajes, su aroma oriental y la simpatía que tienen entre el público los dos actores a quienes se encomendaron los principales pape­ les. Agnes Ayres pasea su hermosura por seis rollos de película admirablemente bien fo­ tografiada y Valentino se ve hecho un verdadero caudillo con pintorescos indumentos árabes. Hay cargas de caballería beduina y otras escenas muy bien fotografiadas. La di­ rección no deja nada que desear. Puede adelantarse desde ya el éxito de esta extraordinaria película.

  • Stardom: Industry of Desire 1
    STARDOM What makes a star? Why do we have stars? Do we want or need them? Newspapers, magazines, TV chat shows, record sleeves—all display a proliferation of film star images. In the past, we have tended to see stars as cogs in a mass entertainment industry selling desires and ideologies. But since the 1970s, new approaches have explored the active role of the star in producing meanings, pleasures and identities for a diversity of audiences. Stardom brings together some of the best recent writing which represents these new approaches. Drawn from film history, sociology, textual analysis, audience research, psychoanalysis and cultural politics, the essays raise important questions for the politics of representation, the impact of stars on society and the cultural limitations and possibilities of stars.

  • August 2009 LET THEM RUN WILD
    LET THEM RUN WILD: CHILDHOOD, THE NINETEENTH-CENTURY STORYTELLER, AND THE ASCENT OF THE MOON by Val Czerny A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of The Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Florida Atlantic University Boca Raton, FL August 2009 Copyright by Val Czerny 2009 ii Acknowledgements My greatest intellectual debts are to the professors who comprised my dissertation committee. Dr. Oliver Buckton expanded my scholarly horizons by suggesting “wild” texts and theoretical approaches to explore, and I am grateful for his time, expertise, and receptivity to tales of adventure—all of which enlivened my desire to analyze narratives that have drawn and continue to draw both children and adults as their readers. Dr. Jane Caputi assisted me in my treatment of the “wild,” helping me to sharpen my focus and discover ways of unearthing fresh, non-linear-driven meanings in concepts that have come to possess assumed, static significations and in narratives which acknowledge relationships that extend beyond the ordinary. And Dr. Taylor Hagood provided solid advice; timely, excellent suggestions in terms of theoretical avenues to explore; and a gracious encouragement of my pursuits—especially those involving conjectural inquiries into the mysterious, subterranean songs that wordlessly communicate and transform. I was especially fortunate to be able to work with such exceptional professors who demonstrate a love of learning, scholarship, and teaching; a passion for and an excellence in conveying the written word; and a heartfelt desire to provide advice and guidance to emerging scholars and educators like me.

  • MORAN of the LADY LETTY By
    MORAN OF THE LADY LETTY by Frank Norris DEDICATED TO Captain Joseph Hodgson UNITED STATES LIFE SAVING SERVICE I SHANGHAIED This is to be a story of a battle, at least one murder, and several sudden deaths. For that reason it begins with a pink tea and among the mingled odors of many delicate perfumes and the hale, frank smell of Caroline Testout roses. There had been a great number of debutantes "coming out" that season in San Francisco by means of afternoon teas, pink, lavender, and otherwise. This particular tea was intended to celebrate the fact that Josie Herrick had arrived at that time of her life when she was to wear her hair high and her gowns long, and to have a "day" of her own quite distinct from that of her mother. Ross Wilbur presented himself at the Herrick house on Pacific Avenue much too early upon the afternoon of Miss Herrick's tea. As he made, his way up the canvased stairs he was aware of a terrifying array of millinery and a disquieting staccato chatter of feminine voices in the parlors and reception-rooms on either side of the hallway. A single high hat in the room that had been set apart for the men's use confirmed him in his suspicions. "Might have known it would be a hen party till six, anyhow," he muttered, swinging out of his overcoat. "Bet I don't know one girl in twenty down there now--all mamma's friends at this hour, and papa's maiden sisters, and Jo's school-teachers and governesses and music-teachers, and I don't know what all." When he went down he found it precisely as he expected.

They have terrifying visions; they erupt in images that show the true face of society. Fortunately, however, they are healthy at the core. Their schizophrenic outbursts last only a few moments, then the curtain is lowered again and everything returns to normal. -Kracauer, "The Little Salesgirls Go to the Movies" (1927)' In the context of discussions on cinematic spectatorship, the case of Rudolph Valentino demands attention, on historical as well as theoretical grounds. For the first time in film history, women spectators were perceived as a socially and economically significant group; female spectatorship was recognized as a mass phenomenon; and the films were explicitly addressed to a female spectator, regardless of the actual composition of the audience. As Hollywood manufactured the Valentino legend, promoting the fusion of real life and screen persona that makes a star, Valentino's female admirers in effect became part of that legend. Never before was the discourse on fan behavior so strongly marked by the terms of sexual difference, and never again was spectatorship so explicitly linked to the discourse on female desire. This conjunction was to inform Valentinian mythology for decades to come-as the following cover prose from various biographies illustrates: Lean, hot-eyed and Latin, Valentino was every woman's dream...

  • The Silent Films of 1923 Shown at the Empress Cinema, Sutton Coldfield
    THE SILENT FILMS OF 1923 SHOWN AT THE EMPRESS CINEMA SUTTON COLDFIELD By Don McCollom Extract from the Sutton Coldfield News of January 1923: EMPRESS CINEMA & CAFÉ: CIVIC OPENING OF THE CINEMA “The opening of the Empress Cinema at Sutton Coldfield took place on Monday afternoon the 1st January 1923 in the presence of a very large gathering. The Empress cinema and Cafe is situated at the entrance to the Lower Parade, and stands on the site of the old and noted Ashby House, a relic of bygone days, and is an excellent representation of how modern construction with efficient and economical design may overcome difficulties that at first appear insurmountable, and so manipulate them to form successful features in the building. The theatre, perfect throughout, is absolutely fireproof, the quality of the brickwork, steel and reinforced concrete being so combined as to ensure this most necessary characteristic. The design throughout being in the Grecian style gives a very pleasant result. The use of white Hollington stone in its construction in conjunction with the purple brick facing on the front elevation gives a most distinguished effect, as does the wide and imposing entrance which is supported on either side with granite columns covered by a large Ornamental Canopy. “The Ornamental Canopy gives the whole building not only an attractive but a magnificent appearance. The arrangements internally are such as will give convenience and comfort to the patrons, special care being bestowed on the lines of projection to the screen so as to avoid as much as possible eye strain. As no seat is less than 24 feet from the screen a clear view is obtainable by everyone.
