  • 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.

Henley Business School is triple accredited and home to over 100 academic faculty who undertake research in a wide range of fields from ethics and finance to international business and marketing. www.henley.ac.uk/research/research- centres/the-centre-for-international-business- history © Miskell, December 2014 ii © Miskell, December 2014 Henley Discussion Paper Series Hollywood Films and Foreign Markets in the Studio Era: A Fresh Look at the Evidence Abstract The international appeal of Hollywood films through the twentieth century has been a subject of interest to economic and film historians alike. This paper employs some of the methods of the economic historian to evaluate key arguments within the film history literature explaining the global success of American films. Through careful analysis of both existing and newly constructed datasets, the paper examines the extent to which Hollywood’s foreign earnings were affected by: film production costs; the extent of global distribution networks, and also the international orientation of the films themselves. The paper finds that these factors influenced foreign earnings in quite distinct ways, and that their relative importance changed over time. The evidence presented here suggests a degree of interaction between the production and distribution arms of the major US film companies in their pursuit of foreign markets that would benefit from further archival-based investigation.

  • Pioneer Film Director Honored / HENRY KING
    The Museum of Modern Art 'iWest 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019 Tel. 956-6100 Cable: Modemart NO. 57 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE PIONEER FILM DIRECTOR HONORED SEVEN WEEK RETROSPECTIVE FOR HENRY KING CO-SPONSORED BY MUSEUM AND DIRECTORS GUILD OF AMERICA "...the most underpublicized filmmaker in Hollywood. This tall, lean, handsome, urbane, but unflamboyant model of a corporation president makes film hits so easily, so efficiently, and so calmly that he is not news in a community of blaring trumpets, crashing cymbals and screaming egos." -Frank Capra Henry King, one of the founding fathers of American film, who began his career early in the century, remains today one of the legendary figures in Hollywood, and though he preserves his privacy, his films such as "The Song of Bernadette," "Twelve O'clock High" and "The Gunfighter" speak for themselves, and these and other major works will be part of a seven week retrospective given in King's honor by New York's Museum of Modern Art in association with the Directors Guild of America. The Virginia-born director, who has specialized, like D.W. Griffith and John Ford, in Americana themes since his first classic, "Tol'able David," and later with "State Fair", "In Old Chicago," "Jesse James" and "Alexander's Ragtime Band," will make a trip from the West Coast to New York to participate in the opening of this program. On June 29 and 30, he will address the Museum audiences, although he seldom makes public appearances. While he contributed to Hollywood's worldwide reputation, King, who recognized such early superstars as Richard Barthelmess, Ronald Colman and Gary Cooper and gave them their first leading roles on the screen, has managed to retain his relative anonymity in an ostentatious environment.

  • July Brings Us to the 222Nd Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, Which Ultimately Made Our Country a Sovereign Nation of Many Sovereign States
    Commitment, Character, and Leadership by Sir Knight Richard B. Baldwin Right Eminent Grand Captain General of the Grand Encampment The month of July brings us to the 222nd anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, which ultimately made our country a sovereign nation of many sovereign states. Our founding fathers took a gigantic risk in proclaiming our independence. There were hardly any means available nor was there much agreement on how to proceed beyond the fact of their immovable commitment. What a challenge they faced! In their cases as the Declaration clearly states, they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor to the cause in which they were engaged. Our Christian branch of Freemasonry was brought into being in the city of Boston in 1769, shortly before our first irretrievable steps toward independence. The first conferral of the Order of the Temple was at St. Andrews Lodge in that city by members of two British regiments sent here to quiet us rebellious colonists. The candidate was, to many of us, a relative unknown, William Davis. He was, however, a great patriot, a member of the Committee on Correspondence, and the architect of the barrel defense" at Bunker Hill, which consisted of rolling barrels filled with earth and stones down the hill onto the attacking units - a brilliant tactic in the face of little ammunition. The second Knight Templar to be Created was Paul Revere, one of our most revered patriots, who was immortalized in Longfellow's poem. The third was Joseph Warren, Grand Master of the Ancients Grand Lodge in Boston and destined to make the Supreme Sacrifice at the Battle of Bunker Hill (topographically, Breed's Hill) a few short years later.
