Createspace Independent Publishing Platform, United States, 2017. Paperback. Condition: New. Language: English . Brand New Book ***** Print on Demand *****.Thelma Todd was the perfect combination: a beautiful and funny actress, a great onscreen comedienne. Today s audiences may best remember her for her memorable supporting roles in films of Laurel and Hardy and the Marx Brothers. But Todd s film career was so much larger. In the 1930s, she starred in a successful short subject series with Zasu Pitts and later with Patsy Kelly for Hal Roach Studios. During the Depression, she was more popular than say Goldie Hawn or Farrah Fawcett. In all, she appeared in 115 films, with her first being --at 21 years of age-- as Lorraine Lane in Fascinating Youth (1926). a silent romantic comedy. (She even worked opposite the legendary Gary Cooper in the silent western, Nevada (1927).) Given her beauty and talent, Todd s name would have been a household word, if she lived long enough to continue making films and even appearing on television shows. Unfortunately, in 1935, at the age of 29, she was found slumped over the wheel of her Lincoln convertible. Her death was ruled a suicide because of carbon monoxide poisoning, Then and now those who knew her believe she was murdered. Her sudden death was a tragic, sad end to a bright, promising career. As a tribute to her great talent and legacy, the Thelma Todd Movie Poster Art Stills Book presents a mixture of 75 vintage color and black and white illustrations from 45 of 115 of her films. They include one sheet posters, poster art (such as lobby cards), still photos and screen images from a sample of her film appearances, from Nevada (1927) to The Bohemian Girl (1936) with Laurel and Hardy.

  • Seven Footprints to Satan Saturday 24 March 2018 Performing Live: Jane Gardner and Roddy Long
    Seven Footprints to Satan Saturday 24 March 2018 Performing live: Jane Gardner and Roddy Long This is a real rarity: the middle of three spooky house films made by Danish director Benjamin Christensen, who's best known for the satanic documentary Haxan, AKA Witchcraft Through the Ages. The other films are lost, though the music and sound effects discs that once accompanied The Haunted House can be heard on YouTube: lots of whistling wind and hooting owls. You might want to imagine those sounds as you experience Seven Footprints, whose original score and FX are lost: but we'll endeavour to make up for that with our own live accompaniment. Christensen came over at the same time as Garbo, and for a while looked to be making a go of it in Hollywood, directing successful films at MGM and Warner Bros. His very weird sensibility seems surreal now, but apparently fitted into the commercial cinema of the day. Seven Footprints is based on a perfectly serious mystery novel, but the director rewrote it from scratch and turned it into a bizarre and hilarious parody, a parade of sensational events with scarcely any narrative connection. We're just trapped in a spooky house with a nice couple being terrorized by a criminal cult, led by... Satan himself! The relentless succession of thugs, dwarfs, fiendish orientals, sinister cripples, phony gorillas, ludicrous grotesques and exotic women, all entering and exiting through secret panels, usually carrying pistols (except the gorilla) and uttering baffling warnings, plays like a Fu Manchu movie viewed through an opium haze.

  • Child-Theft Across Visual Media
    The Child-theft Motif in the Silent Film Era and Afterwards 7 The Child-theft Motif in the Silent Film Era and Afterwards — ※ — During the silent film era (1894–1927), the story of children who are stolen by ‘gypsies’ and then rescued/restored to their families resurfaces as one of the popular stock plots. I refrain here from analysing individ- ual films and offer, instead, two points for further consideration: firstly, a listing of works that stage the motif under discussion, and secondly, an expanded annotated filmography.

The Gypsies; or, The Abduction (1907, France/UK) 7. The Adventures of Dollie (1908, USA) 8. Le Médaillon (1908, France) 9. A Gallant Scout (1909, UK) 10. Ein treuer Beschützer (1909, France) 11.

  • Blonde Journalism 1 Introduction When Two Blonde Bombshells from Hollywood Found Themselves in Trouble, They Also Found Themselv
    Blonde Journalism 1 Introduction When two blonde bombshells from Hollywood found themselves in trouble, they also found themselves in the newspaper. In the 1920s and ‘30s, comedienne Thelma Todd captured America’s attention not only with her numerous Hollywood films, but also with her bitter divorce and highly publicized death threats from a male stalker.1 Decades later, Playboy model Anna Nicole Smith stole headlines with her scandalous marriage to a billionaire 63 years her senior and the contentious paternity battle over her newborn daughter.2 By the time both reached age 30, their triumphs and tragedies were as much on-stage as they were, spread all over the media for the world to see. Because their lives were fodder for everyday news, their mysterious, tragic deaths created media frenzy. Newspapers relished coverage of Ms. Todd’s death, December 16, 1935. Three well-respected newspapers – The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, and The Atlanta Journal-Constitution – covered the actress’s death throughout their papers during the week following. The opportunity for using the sensationalistic style of yellow journalism was intoxicating, and editors for the three newspapers in 1935 lapped it up – some more than others – knowing the juicy celebrity mystery would not fail to attract readers. Nearly 72 years later, a similar media frenzy occurred when Anna Nicole Smith died on February 7, 2007. As their newspaper counterparts did seven decades earlier, television news shows, from NBC’s “Dateline” to Fox News to CNN, jumped on the gossipy story with around-the-clock, dramatic, graphics-filled coverage – in short, employing the yellow-journalism techniques of Ms.

  • “I Want Music Everywhere” Music, Operetta, and Cultural Hierarchy at the Hal Roach Studios
    4 “I Want Music Everywhere” Music, Operetta, and Cultural Hierarchy at the Hal Roach Studios In their 1928 stockholders’ report, the Hal Roach Studios’ board of directors anticipated the company’s conversion to sound with calm assuredness: The last few months has [sic] witnessed the advent of another element in the produc- tion field; that is, the talking or sound pictures. It is, of course, difficult to foretell what the eventual outcome of talking pictures will be or the eventual form they will assume. One thing is certain, however, that is that they are at the present time an element in the amusement field apparently having a definite appeal to the public, and properly handled, it promises to be a great addition to the entertainment value of pictures and a great aid to the producer in building up the interest in the picture intended. The company has placed itself in a position to gain by any and all new methods and devices introduced in the field.1 Confidence is to be expected in a stockholders’ statement, but for the Roach Studios such an attitude likely came easy, at least in comparison with the com- petition. Unlike the independent producer-distributor Educational—which had initially flubbed its transition by backing the Vocafilm technology—the Roach Studios enjoyed the luxury of a financing and distribution deal with industry powerhouse Loew’s-MGM and opted to follow the parent company’s lead in entering the uncertain waters ahead. The Roach organization was, for example, included in Loew’s-MGM’s initial contract with Electrical Research Products, Inc.

  • 1 HIST/HRS 169 – Summary 2A Spring 2018 Hollywood And
    HIST/HRS 169 – Summary 2A Spring 2018 Hollywood and Censorship 1920-30: The Ghost of Fatty Arbuckle Middle class reform movements were very powerful in the early 20th century. Progressives, middle classes, women and preachers pushed hard for Prohibition, women’s suffrage, and the censorship of the Hollywood product that some were convinced was undercutting the moral standards of America’s youth. Church groups were also very active, especially beginning in the 1920s. By about 1930 Catholic groups were the most powerful: they watched films carefully for potential insults to the Catholic Church and to immigrant Catholic groups and for dangers to the moral purity of Catholic youth. In the early 30s Catholic leaders organized ‘Legions of Decency’, whose job was to arrange boycotts of Hollywood movies that Catholic leaders considered objectionable. American public opinion around 1920 was fascinated with Hollywood society that had, according to Robert Sklar, entered the ‘Aquarian Age’ (free-thinking, self-indulgent, sybaritic). Ordinary people followed their favorite stars – their personae, lifestyles and values -- in fan magazines and in the writings of gossip columnists. Despite the efforts of the studios to keep their stars’ image wholesome and family compatible, public opinion’s Magazine Cover, 1920 image was that Hollywood represented physical beauty, sensual self indulgence through drinking, drugs, sex, swimming, driving fast sports cars, living in palatial mansions and going to wild weekend parties. Anxieties were heightened by the migration of large numbers of “movie struck girls” to Hollywood to make fame and fortune; many of them were of course exploited by the system (by “leering foreigners with big noses and small ratty eyes” [Who are they?]), and according to popular legend, destroyed in the process.
