We kennen haar het best zoals ze op de af- beelding hiernaast te zien is; gekleed in zwarte japonnen, rouwend om het verlies van haar dierbare echtgenoot Al- bert en omgeven door haar negen kinderen. Zoals in bo- venstaand citaat te lezen is, had zij weinig vertrouwen in de vrouwelijke helft van de samenleving wanneer het aankwam op politieke zaken. Ze preten- deerde daarom haar koninkrijk te runnen als een groot huishouden en presenteerde zichzelf naar de buitenwereld toe als de ideale huisvrouw.

  • DISAMBIGUATION by Ian Sales Ganymede Ganymede May Refer To
    DISAMBIGUATION by Ian Sales Ganymede Ganymede may refer to: • Ganymede: a Trojan prince in Greek mythology • Ganymede: Jupiter’s largest moon, named for the mythological character • Ganymede: the name used by Rosalind when she is disguised as a man in Shakespeare’s As You Like It • Ganymede: the eighth of the Short S.26 ‘G’ Class Empire flying boats flown by Imperial Airways, which disappeared in 1940 while en route to Australia § Ganymede (flying boat) Ganymede (G-AFCP) was the name given to the fifth Short S.26 ‘G’ Class Empire flying boat to enter service with Imperial Airways. It first flew in October 1939 on Imperial Airway’s route to Australia. During its fifth such trip, it disappeared somewhere between Koepang and Darwin over the Timor Sea. Among the thirty-eight passengers onboard was popular British actress Anna Irwin. Various attempts to discover the resting-place of the Ganymede, the most notable by Amelia Earhart in 1947, have all proven fruitless. § Short S.26 The Short S.26 ‘G’ Class was a large transport flying boat with non-stop transatlantic capability intended for commercial service. Ten aircraft were ordered by Imperial Airways. The S.26 was designed as an enlarged Short ‘C’ Class Empire flying boat. Powered by four 1,400 hp (1,044 kW) Bristol Hercules sleeve valve radial engines, the Short S.26s (or “Golden Boats”) were designed with the capability of crossing the Atlantic without refuelling, although initially they flew Imperial Airways’ South Africa and Australia routes alongside the ‘C’ Class flying boats. Each aircraft had a name beginning with ‘G’: Golden Hind, Golden Fleece, Golden Horn, Golden Eagle, Ganymede, Galatea, Galahad, Geronimo, Gideon, and Gloriana.

  • Britain's Jewish Film Pioneer*
    JewishHistorical Studies , volume 44, 2012 George Berthold Samuelson (1889-1947): Britain's Jewish film pioneer* GABRIEL A. SIVAN Jews played a decisive role in the American filmindustry's growth and development,1yet their pioneering contribution to the industryin Britain tends to be overlooked.When motion pictureswere still in theirinfancy (1900-1910), they were generally considered to be "a low-gradeform of enter- tainment- suitableonly for the immigrant or theuneducated masses - rather thana validart form, and thoseconnected with films were held in contempt".2 Not havingto contendwith powerful vested interests, enterprising Jews in Britainand theUnited States opened littlepicture houses for the less affluent, enablingthem to enjoythe latest silent films. "Jews moved into motion picture productionand exhibitionfor the same reasonsthey had gravitatedto fields likesmall merchandising and the garmenttrades: little skill and littlecapital wererequired to participate.And since it was a new industry,all entrepre- neurswere on an equal footing".3Before long, those operating these cheap movietheatres (known as cinemasin Britainand as bioscopesin SouthAfrica) turnedto filmdistribution. Some became producersand directors;others, particularlyin Hollywood,went on to head largefilm companies with their own studios,hundreds of employees and a multi-milliondollar turnover. "For a long period", accordingto the EncyclopaediaJudaica, "American competitionmade it impossible for the British motion picture to gain a footholdin the world market"and it was a HungarianJew, Sir Alexander Korda (1893-1956), who "finallypulled the Britishindustry out of the dol- drums" afterhe establishedthe London Films Company in 1930.4 While doingjustice to Korda, thisassertion underrates the previousachievements ofSir Michael Balcon (1896-1977; in partnershipwith Victor Saville, Balcon 5 had spent£30,000 filminghis firstpicture, Woman to Woman, in 1923).

It argues that the biopic is a necessary category because producers, reviewers and cinemagoers have significant investments in biographical subjects, and because biopics construct a ‘public history’ for a broad audience.

Parallel.” Eric Portman is a World But I have hesitation in saying that the screen U-boat officer who attempts no has played a very important part. I think to escape from Canada to the we may divide, roughly, the part the films have played into United States but is out- manoeuvred by Raymond showing us, firstly, what Nazism really means and Massey. what we are fighting against, and, secondly, how we are fighting the greatest menace to Civilisation since Democracy was established as the keystone of the arch of Civilisation. Democracy is easily explained. The great Lincoln. President of the first really United States of America, described it as Govern- ment of the People, by the People, for the People. The emblem of Republican France was Liberty, Equality and Fraternity. In England, and later in the British Empire, the meaning was Freedom of speech and action, Una Merkel and W. C. Fields in so long as it did not interfere with the " The Bank Detective.” Freedom of others.

  • Technicolor Adventures in Cinemaland
    Technicolor Adventures in Cinemaland H. T. Kalmus Reprinted from Journal of the Society of Motion Picture Engineers, December, 1938, Pages 564-584, TECHNICOLOR ADVENTURES IN CINEMALAND* fl. T. KALMUS** Summary.-A n account of some of the highlights in the history of the development of the business of Technicolor Motion Picture Corporation primarily from the point of view of its contact with motion picture producers, distributors, and exhibitors; incidental to which is an account of the development and growth of the various Techni­ color processes from a semi-technical point of view but with special reference to practi­ cal application in the motion picture industry. Webster defines adventure as chance of danger or loss; the encoun­ tering of risks; a bold undertaking, a da__ring feat; a remarkable oc­ currence or experience, a stirring incident; a mercantile or speculative enterprise of hazard; a venture. The excursions of Technicolor irtto the domain of the producers, distributors, and exhibitors of motion pictures have bc~n all of these. Technicolor has manufactured and shipped prints of many hun­ dreds of productions (during 1937 alone of over 350 subjects for some fifty different customers including more than twenty features) and since some phase of adventure usually develops during the photog­ raphy or printing of any production, it is clear that this account does not pretend to be complete. Nor are the events described in detail necessarily those of greatest importance. The writer having played a continuing part will no doubt unduly emphasize some which he found particularly interesting, whereas with the passage of time others only lightly touched upon or omitted may be found to be of greater significance.
