Dimensions: 9.2in. x 7.5in. x 0.3in.Steele Rudd was the pseudonym of Arthur Hoey Davis (1868 -1935) an Australian author best known for On Our Selection. At 15 he became a junior stockrider on a station on the Darling Downs. In 1889 he worked in the sheriffs office and in his spare time took up rowing. When he began writing a column on rowing in a weekly paper he chose the pseudonym Steele Rudder, the first name from the English essayist Richard Steele, the second chosen because he wanted to bring into his name some part of a boat. On Our Selection first appeared as a sketch about Rudds fathers experiences. He later expanded this to 26 sketches which formed the book On Our Selection. Sketches include Starting the selection, Our first harvest, Before we got the deeds, When the wolf was at the door, The night we watched for wallabies, Good old Bess, Cranky Jack, A kangaroo hunt from shingle hut, Daves snakebite, Dad and the Donovans, A splendid year for corn, Kates wedding, The summer Old Bob died, When Dan came home, Our circus, When Joe was in charge, dads...

Consequently many excellent Australian writers are here unrepresented, their work being perforce held over for The Second Bulletin Story Book, although it is work of a quality equal to that which is now given. The risk and expense of this publication are undertaken by The Bulletin Newspaper Company, Limited. Should any profits accrue, a share of forty per cent, will be credited to the writers represented. Owing to the length of time which, in some cases, has elapsed since the original publication in The Bulletin, the names and addresses of some of the writers have been lost sight of; and their work appears over pen-names, The editor will be glad if these writers will communicate with him and assist in completing the Biographical Index at the end of the book.

In tracing and bringing into focus the main currents of thought and critical studies of twenty-five years of dramatic writings, the book demonstrates not only the consistently high quality of Currency publications, but also the debt of Australian drama to the determined efforts of Curren­ cy's directors, Katharine Brisbane and Philip Parsons. Publishing does not create good literature, but it influences it in several ways. Availability of play texts means critical studies and research, and a continuous debate; it means teaching of the texts in secondary schools and tertiary institutions, and an increased awareness on the part of the general public. Currency Press published about ninety Australian plays in the last decade, a remark­ able achievement considering the financial uncertainties of publishing exclusively in an art form which is still considered the step-child of Australian literature.

  • STEELE RUDD," and HIS GIFT of LAUGHTER an Australian Literary Heritage [By ERIC D
    127 "STEELE RUDD," AND HIS GIFT OF LAUGHTER An Australian Literary Heritage [By ERIC D. DAVIS] (Read at a Meeting of the Society on 26 March 1970) To me personally—it is something very close to my heart to be asked to address you concerning my late father—bet­ ter known as "Steele Rudd." From as early as I can remember, I always thought he was the greatest man in the world, and with the passing of the years, my admiration for him has not diminished any. Needless to say, I am honoured when 1 am called upon to tell people about the person I always called "Dad." No doubt this is also the cardinal reason why I am in the process of writing his biography. The wording on his memorial cairn at Drayton, where he was bom, on the Darling Downs, Queensland, has always impressed me. It reads: "He brought to Australian writing the rich gift of hon­ est laughter with the undertones of the struggles and sor­ rows of the pioneers." Yes, indeed, he had the abUity to make people laugh, and at the same time combine his humour with pathos. I think it can be truthfully said his writings were an affirmation of the thoughts of W. M. Thackeray, the famous English author, that "A good laugh is sunshine in the house." Strangely enough, it wasn't my father's intention to ap­ pear as a funny man when he started to write in the early 'nineties, but as time went by, the literary mantle of fame which became his lot, I fear often weighed heavUy upon him as he endeavoured to please his reading public.

  • Dad Rudd, M.P. and the Making of a National Audience. Dad Rudd, M.P
    Dad Rudd, M.P. and the making of a national audience. Dad Rudd, M.P. was the fourth and final film made by Ken G. Hall based on characters originally created by ‘Steele Rudd’ (Arthur Hoey Davis) in 1895. It. was also the first of four films to receive a £15,000 overdraft from the NSW government as part of an attempt to encourage local film production. It was released by Cinesound in Australia in June 1940. According to the Australasian’s film critic ‘The Chiel,’ when the film was shown in Melbourne, ‘a queue that was 100 yards long to the box office, a crowded theatre, and sustained applause indicated that the Australian people have no fault to find with “Dad Rudd, M.P.”’(Chiel 1940). Box office for the film was indeed remarkable in Australia and the film also gained popular acclaim in Britain, where it was screened more than 1400 times before mid-1941 (Pike 1980:45). The Rudd family texts are unique in Australian cultural history for the extent to which they have been adapted, and the degree of their popularity in a variety of media over time. Authors, producers, directors and publicists of these texts engendered a market defined by its recognition of Australian cultural commonplaces. In this respect the Rudd characters have been instrumental in the creation and characterization of a specifically ‘Australian’ audience that can be defined in relation to a set of national symbols. Dad Rudd, M.P., in particular, illustrates the way in which such national symbols can be a product of market imperatives, overseas influences and chance.

  • THE MELANCHOLY SPECTACLES a STUDY of THC AUSTRALIAN FILM INDUSTRY Jujian Craft
    THE MELANCHOLY SPECTACLES A STUDY OF THC AUSTRALIAN FILM INDUSTRY Jujian Craft One of the problems in talking about the Australian film industry is that it is an industry. One has to forget about the lofty ideals of art and recognise that like any other industry it must be efficient and progressive. If it is not and it can't compete with overseas products then it must be protected. For the government to reach this decision it must feel that the film industry is of vital national importance, or that imports of foreign films place too great a strain on our overseas reserves. It is possible that once a viable Australian feature film industry exists the Australian experience might produce an article which is unique and, as such, valuable in international markets. Thus an import loss might become an export gain. These prosaic considerations are unfortunately the only facts which will influence a reticent government to take direct action to support the film industry. At the moment the government is not particularly concerned about the cultural aspects of a national film industry, and possibly this is a good thing as the encouragement of feature films which would be distinctly Australian would 'lead to the gross perversiOnS of excessive nationalism which have bedevilled so much of Australia's artistic expression. The main concern at the moment should be to put the film industry on a firm economic foundation. 4.5 At -the present time the film industry is in a very precarious position. Since 1960 when legislation was passed to prohibit the importation of foreign television commercials the industry has been dependent on advertising contracts.

  • Historical Officers Report from the Pages of the Camden Advertiser 1St
    Historical Officers Report From the Pages of the Camden Advertiser 1st February 1940 WE PROTEST Against Milk Board's Decision This newspaper has ranged its self alongside the district dairy farmers in their battle against the undemocratic methods of the Milk Board, which, according to latest information, intend to refute to accept local milk testing below 3.4 per cent, cream, on and after February 14 next. We claim that it U the first essential of the Government to raise the legal standard of milk from 3.2 to 3.4 per cent, before the Milk Board is handed the power to insist on a better quality product from the farmer. Secondly, it is only fair for the dairy farmer to be paid an increased price for the increased cream content of his milk. To-day, in this district, dairy farmers are appealing for fair-play. Here they work 18 hour a day and often enlist the services of their families to eke out a precarious existence, while subject to a distasteful dictation from the city distributing end of the industry, where Milk Board members and employees, together with distributing agency staffs, enjoy award rates of pay and 8 hours n day—at the farmers' expense. While Britain is fighting a war for democracy we have to contend with the undemocratic acts of a Milk Board—blessed by one of His Majesty's Governments. The "Advertiser" has a circulation large enough, we believe, to swing the Wollondilly electorate against the Government, at the next State elections if equal conditions are denied the farmers.
