  • Rookery Nook (1930)
    The 19th British Silent Film Festival Rookery Nook (1930) Thursday 14 September, 9am Introduced by Geoff Brown 76 mins, UK, 1930, sound, Genre: Comedy / Stage farce Production companies: British & Dominions Film Corporation / The Gramophone Company, “His Master’s Voice” Directed by: Tom Walls Producer: Herbert Wilcox Supervised by: Byron Haskin Screenplay: Ben Travers, W.P. Lipscombe based on the novel (1923) an play (1926) by Ben Travers Photography: Freddie Young Editor: Maclean Rogers Art Director: Clifford Pember Sound: A.W. Watkins Studio: British and Dominions Studios The Aldwych Farces were a series of 12 comedies that ran in the Aldwych Theatre London between 1923 and 1933. Mostly written by Ben Travers, they were characterised by clever word play Cast: Ralph Lynn (Gerald Popkiss), Tom Walls (Clive Popkiss), Winifred Shotter (Rhoda Marley), Mary Brough (Mrs Leverett),Robertson Hare (Harold Twine), Ethel Coleridge (Gertrude Twine), Griffith Humphreys (Putz), Doreen Bendix (Poppy Dickey), Margot Graham (Clara Popkiss). The Bioscope, 12 February 1930, p.29: IN BRIEF: Brilliant adaptation of Ben Travers’ enormously successful farce, excellently played by the members of the original cast. Plot: A young married man goes to a country cottage for a rest-cure, where he has to give shelter to a pretty girl who wanders in clad in pyjamas and tells a piteous story. Gerald’s sister-in-law, and later on his wife, discover the intrusion and make a great deal of trouble. Gerald is saved by the action of a friend who is glad to take the girl under his own care. Comment: This delightful comedy, which had such a successful run at the Aldwych Theatre, has been adapted to the screen with perfect success, and with the original cast is certainly the most amusing farce that has yet been shown on the screen.

Who they are, what they might contribute to a project in terms of distinction, additional box-office revenue, and cost are clearly important questions facing film entrepreneurs. They also tell us something important about viewing preferences and thence social attitudes. Such evidence is important to the historian. Jeffrey Richards (1984) writing about British Cinema during the 1930s, advances the case that "(the) study of stars and their images and their popularity is central to an understanding of how cinema works in the context of society."[1] He argues that: Audiences are primarily attracted by stars rather than story lines. He supports this contention by reference to the importance of fan clubs, the plethora of fan magazines and the manner in which "stars were ...assiduously promoted by the studio publicity machines"[2], during the classical period. In representing an ideal, stars need to be "both ordinary for the purposes of identification and extraordinary for purposes of admiration."[3] Stars, like films, operate as ideological tools. In promoting a pattern of behaviour concordant with the perceived interests of the

  • L DTNT Records Relating to the Hull New Theatre 1939- 2008
    Hull History Centre: Records relating to the Hull New Theatre L DTNT Records relating to the Hull New Theatre 1939- 2008 Historical Background: The New Theatre which stands on Kingston Square, Hull, opened on the 16th of October 1939 with the Hull Repertory Company production of 'Me and My Girl'. Peppino Santangelo came to the city in 1924 to join the Hull Repertory Company based at the Little Theatre in Kingston Square. After turning the struggling company around, Peppino, organised the reconstruction of the former Assembly Rooms which had first been built by R. H. Sharp over 100 years earlier in 1834 into the New Theatre. Not even the outbreak of the Second World War could halt Peppino’s dream and as the theatre’s first manager, he told crowds of 1939: ‘I have made plans for your future entertainment, always bearing in mind that we are at war and that laughter and not tears should be the dominant feature.’ Performances continued throughout the war when West End productions arrived to escape the bombing in London. The theatre bar was reinforced as a bomb shelter and the building received only one direct hit, in May 1941, which destroyed the front row of stalls and all the props and costumes of the visiting Sadler’s Wells Opera Company. In the late 1960s the Theatre's stage was deepened and the orchestra pit enlarged, whilst at the same time the auditorium was improved with new seating. The theatre closed in January 2016 to undergo a huge £15.9m revamp of the venue, which would see improvements to backstage areas including a new fly tower, used for scenery, lighting and stage effects, a larger stage, and more seating.

Chilli welcome to, BECTU CB: Thank you very much… I: And, let’s plunge straight in. CB: Yes! I: Now, since this is the centenary here of cinema, you have been interviewed a great deal as an actress, so maybe rather than repeating your view of how things worked in the studios and some of the camera people and the technicians directors you worked with. CB: Yes I: your memories of that time CB: Right I: I don’t know if you’ve covered them previously, but anyway let’s say start CB: Not really…. Not… I go back to 1927 I: Right CB: That’s when I started in business… I: Ok, well let’s just cover the very beginning of your career which, I’ve got that you were born in Hammersmith. It’s one tiny point, without being ungallant, which is, that the books give two varying dates for your birth year CB: Oh! I: 1909 and 1910 CB: 1909 I: 1909 CB: Yes I: Some give 1910 CB: Yes I: Right CB: So, if I live to the end of the century I shall be practically in the century of I: Yes CB: Practically, All but nine.

Williams began as an Art Director working for Herbert Wilcox at the Stoll Studios, Cricklewood in 1928. He remained with Wilcox, moving to British and Dominions at Elstree and working on films such as Victoria the Great (1937) and Sixty Glorious Years (1938), later going with Wilcox to Hollywood where he worked on Mr & Mrs Smith (1941) with Alfred Hitchcock. He returned during the war as a member of the RAF and saw active service in Egypt. After the war he worked most famously on Brief Encounter (1945) and later became technical director at Denham and Pinewood Studios. SUMMARY: In this interview Williams talks to Rodney Giesler in detail about his career. There are extended discussions of the technical difficulties which the introduction of sound and colour (particularly Technicolor) presented to the art director. Williams recalls his involvement with David Rawnsley and the Independent Frame process, and discusses his memories of various colleagues, including Freddie Young, Tom Walls, Maurice Elvey and Herbert Wilcox. He gives accounts of the production of Victoria the Great and Brief Encounter (1945) and recalls his early involvement in the Association of Cinematograph Technicians (ACT) – the fore-runner of BECTU.
