    CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY, NORTHRIDGE THE PREPARATION OF THE ROLE OF TOM MOODY IN CLIFFORD ODETS' GOLDEN BOY An essay submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Theatre by Robert T. Hollander June, 1981 The Essay of Robert T. Hollander is approved: Prof. c(§!g Nieuwenhuysel Dr. Georg~ Gunkle, Committee Chairman California State University, Northridge ii ABSTRACT THE PREPARATION OF THE ROLE OF TOM MOODY IN CLIFFORD ODETS' GOLDEN BOY by Robert T. Hollander Master of Arts in Theatre Golden Boy was first produced by the Group Theatre in New York in 1937. Directed by Harold Clurman, this 1937 production included in its cast names that were to become notable in the American theatre: Luther Adler, Frances Farmer, Lee J. Cobb, Jules (John) Garfield, Morris Carnovsky, Elia Kazan, Howard Da Silva and Karl Malden. Golden Boy quickly became the most successful production 1 in Group Theatre history and was followed in 1939 by the movie of the same name, starring William Holden and Barbara Stanwyck. Since then, there have been countless revivals, including a musical adaptation in 1964 which starred Sammy Davis Jr. Golden Boy certainly merits consideration as one of the classics of modern American drama. 1Harold Clurman, The Fervent Years: The Story of the Group Theatre and the Thirties. (New York: Harcourt, Brace, Jovanovich. A Harvest Book, 1975), p. 211. 1 2 The decision to prepare the character of Torn Moody as a thesis project under the direction of Dr. George Gunkle was made during the spring semester of 1980 at which time I was performing a major role in The Knight of the Burning Pestle, a seventeenth century farce written by Beaumont and Fletcher.

  • 'Shadow State'?
    SYARIF HIDAYAT ‘Shadow State’? Business and politics in the province of Banten Our knowledge of the nature of local political leadership in modern democ- racies based on systematic comparative scholarship is limited. This makes it difficult to generalise across political systems. […] Political scientists just have been more interested in their own political system, and in interviewing national politicians than in comparative studies of local leaders. (Eldersveld et al. 1995:1.) The informal market role in rulers’ construction of parallel political authority in the wake of the near total decay of formal state institutions – a Shadow State – is less well known. (William Reno 1995:1.) Introduction The quotations above indicate how few comprehensive studies there are on local politics. Observers tend to focus on the national level. Yet in the Indonesian context, local power relations cannot be understood simply through a formal approach, as they also involve informal networks, includ- ing relations between power holders and business. Therefore, a fuller under- standing requires an approach that can simultaneously comprehend the formal and informal relations. Motivated by a desire to understand more fully the power relations in the conduct of local governance in Indonesia, especially in the post-Suharto era, I decided to undertake this research, with the theme ‘Business and politics in the province of Banten’. My interest grew when one day I found an article in the ‘Nusantara’ column of Kompas daily (4-7-2003), entitled ‘If you’re going to Banten, don’t forget your black clothes’. The writer, ‘Zal’, described the influence of the jawara in the conduct of local government in Banten.1 The 1 Raffles (1965) and M.

Many others, who are interested in the uplifting of the Red Men, may be glad to obtain glimpses, in these pages, of the inside of Missionary Life in what was, not long since, the Far West; and to trace the threads of the inweaving of a Christ-life into the lives of many of the Sioux nation. "Why don't you tell more about yourselves?" is a question, which, in various forms, has been often asked me, during these last four decades. Partly as the answer to questions of that kind, this book assumes somewhat the form of a personal narrative. Years ago it was an open secret, that our good and noble friend, SECRETARY S.

Counselor Education The Experiences and Perceptions of Students Exposed to Popular Film as a Pedagogic Tool in Counselor Education: An Exploratory Study (322pp.) Director of Dissertation: Thomas E. Davis This constructivist grounded theory research study explored Master’s level counselor education students’ perceptions and experiences of being exposed to popular film clips for pedagogic purposes in the classroom. Over an eight month period, students in seven different counselor education courses were exposed to pedagogic film clip experiences in their classrooms. From this group of students drawn from two Midwestern universities, three rounds of face-to-face individual interviews and a focus group were conducted and forty participants described their classroom film experiences. Transcriptions of the interviews and focus group were used to gather data and to develop a constructivist grounded theory. Participants’ descriptions of their experiences and perceptions indicated that students engage in a complex experiential meaning-making process as a result of exposure to and discussion of their film experiences.

  • Homeless Campaigns, & Shelter Services in Boulder, Colorado
    Dreams of Mobility in the American West: Transients, Anti- Homeless Campaigns, & Shelter Services in Boulder, Colorado Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Andrew Lyness, M.A. Graduate Program in Comparative Studies The Ohio State University 2014 Dissertation Committee: Leo Coleman, Advisor Barry Shank Theresa Delgadillo Copyright by Andrew Lyness 2014 Abstract For people living homeless in America, even an unsheltered existence in the urban spaces most of us call “public” is becoming untenable. Thinly veiled anti-homelessness legislation is now standard urban policy across much of the United States. One clear marker of this new urbanism is that vulnerable and unsheltered people are increasingly being treated as moveable policy objects and pushed even further toward the margins of our communities. Whilst the political-economic roots of this trend are in waning localism and neoliberal polices that defined “clean up the streets” initiatives since the 1980s, the cultural roots of such governance in fact go back much further through complex historical representations of masculinity, work, race, and mobility that have continuously haunted discourses of American homelessness since the nineteenth century. A common perception in the United States is that to be homeless is to be inherently mobile. This reflects a cultural belief across the political spectrum that homeless people are attracted to places with lenient civic attitudes, good social services, or even nice weather. This is especially true in the American West where rich frontier myths link notions of homelessness with positively valued ideas of heroism, resilience, rugged masculinity, and wilderness survival.

  • No Blood No Foul: the Standard of Care in Texas Owed by Participants to One Another in Athletic Constests
    COLE.MACRO 8/4/2010 10:06 AM NO BLOOD NO FOUL: THE STANDARD OF CARE IN TEXAS OWED BY PARTICIPANTS TO ONE ANOTHER IN ATHLETIC CONSTESTS Matthew G. Cole* I. INTRODUCTION On October 1, 2006, during a football game between the Tennessee Titans and Dallas Cowboys, on a play in which running back Julius Jones scored a touchdown, Cowboys‘ offensive lineman Andre Gurode‘s helmet came off.1 Titans‘ defensive lineman Albert Haynesworth first kicked and then stomped on Gurode‘s exposed and unguarded face.2 Gurode required thirty stitches and complains of headaches and blurred vision.3 The league suspended Haynesworth for a record five games, costing him an estimated $190,000.4 On June 28, 1997, during the second round of a fight for the Heavyweight Championship of the world, Evander Holyfield inadvertently head butted Mike Tyson, opening a gash over Tyson‘s right eye.5 The referee warned Holyfield but did not penalize him.6 With forty seconds left in the third round, Tyson clinched with Holyfield, spit out his own mouthpiece, and bit off a piece of Holyfield‘s right ear.7 Holyfield immediately reacted, pulling away and jumping up and down in agony *J.D.

  • By Nigel Collins a GOD AMONG MORTALS
    t was a difficult decision to make, play softball with my buddies from work or watch MEMORIES OF MARVIN HAGLER Marvelous Marvin Hagler challenge middleweight champion Alan Minter on television. The thorny issue was settled when a teammate somehow jury-rigged a small TV to the battery of his car, which was parked on the stretch of grass where we played. IFor some inexplicable reason that autumn afternoon in 1980 was the first thing that flashed through my mind after learning that Marvin had died, unexpectedly, March 13 at the age of 66. Maybe it was because he made his bones fighting a series of badass Philly middleweights at the Spectrum, located almost within homerun distance from where we clustered around a middle-aged Chevy with a black and white TV on its roof—an echo of the time when folks huddled around a radio to listen to Joe Louis fight. Our game wasn’t delayed for long. Hagler, a savvy, ambidextrous southpaw with a jackhammer punch, stopped Minter in the third round. The quick demise of the Brit sparked a disgraceful racist-fueled riot fermented by drunken thugs among the sellout crowd of 12,000 at London’s Wembley Arena. A fusillade of beer bottles came crashing A GOD into the ring like mortar shells and there were no foxholes in which to hide. AMONG MORTALS By Nigel Collins A GOD AMONG MORTALS What should have been the greatest moment of Hagler’s career turned into a scramble for safety when hooligans and degenerates pelted the ring with gar- bage following Hagler’s stoppage of Alan Minter to win the middleweight title in London in 1980.

Larkness Flager THIS VIGHETTE OP THE BEGINNING OF AN EARLY AND LASTING FRIENDSHIP IS INSCRIBED “Athana. Then bless with spells the friends whom you will gain.” —The Eumenides of Aeschylus. Act. III. v. 855. Translate and comments by John F. Davies. Doublin University Press, 1885. p. 172—173. PREFACE. PREFACE to a little book of this sort is an anomaly. Consequently Ait should be understood the sooner that these fore-words are not intended for any boys or girls that take up Left to Themselves. It is solely for the benefit of the adult reader led by curiosity or carefulness to open the book. The young reader will use his old privilege and skip it. It was lately observed, with a good deal of truth, that childhood and youth in their relations to literature are modem discoveries. To compare reading for the boys or girls of to-day with that purveyed even twenty-five years ago, in quantity and quality, is a trite superfluity. But it has begun to look as if catering to this discovery of what young minds relish, and of what they absorb has gone incautiously far. There exists a good measure of forgetfulness that children, after all is said, are little men and little women, with hearts and heads, as well as merely imaginations to be tickled.
