  • Films from the THIRTIES: PART II 1935-39
    t% The Museum of Modern Art 1] West 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019 Tel. 245-3200 Cable: Modernart No. 83 FOR RELEASE: Friday, August 25, I968 Films from THE THIRTIES: PART II 1935-39 The Museum of Modern Art, will present a retrospective of films from the thirties beginning August 23, and running through October 6. The Thirties, according to Willard Van Dyke, Director of the Department of Film, will consist of 39 pictures, representing some of the richest creative talent in American cinema at a time that has been called "the dear, dead days not beyond recall." Two years ago the Museum presented The Thirties, U.S.A., Part I, covering the first half of the decade. The films being shown now as Part II were made from 1935 ^^ 193 '• Among the pictures to be shown are: Frank Capra's "Lost Horizon"; Paul Muni in "The Life of Emile Zola," the Story of a Northern Jew's lynching in the South; the great thriller "Night Must Fall," an adaptation of the Emlyn Williams play starring Robert Montgomery; and "The Good Earth," a spectacle film in black and white, from Pearl Buck's popular novel, for which Luise Rainer won her second Academy Award, with Paul Muni in the starring role. The latter part of the thirties was characterized by further achievements in the musical film, largely due to the talents of Fred Astaire, who with Ginger Rogers starred in "Top Hat," and "Shall We Dance," both of which are in the retrospective. The most important contributions to the annals of films made in the thirties was the series of "snowball" comedies Hollywood turned out at a time of grim, economic hardships.

Descriptive Summary Creator: Various Title: Brooklyn Theater Playbills and Programs Collection Date Span: 1875-1972 Abstract: The Brooklyn Theater Playbills and Programs Collection consists of 800 playbills and programs for motion pictures, musical concerts, high school commencement exercises, lectures, photoplays, vaudeville, and burlesque, as well as the more traditional offerings such as plays and operas, all from Brooklyn theaters. Quantity: 2.25 linear feet Location: Brooklyn Collection Map Room, cabinet 11 Repository: Brooklyn Public Library – Brooklyn Collection Reference Code: BC0071 Scope and Content Note The 800 items in the Brooklyn Theater Playbills and Programs Collection, which occupies 2.25 cubic feet, easily refute the stereotypes of Brooklyn as provincial and insular. From the late 1880s until the 1940s, the period covered by the bulk of these materials, the performing arts thrived in Brooklyn and were available to residents right at their doorsteps. At one point, there were over 200 theaters in Brooklyn. Frequented by the rich, the middle class and the working poor, they enjoyed mass popularity. With materials from 115 different theaters, the collection spans almost a century, from 1875 to 1972. The highest concentration is in the years 1890 to 1909, with approximately 450 items.

  • Gary Cooper ~ 51 Films
    Gary Cooper ~ 51 Films Frank James (later Gary) Cooper was born on 7 May 1901 in Helena, Montana. From the silent era through to 1961, Cooper built a solid reputation by playing strong, manly, distinctly American roles in a natural, understated manner. The son of English parents who had settled in Montana, in the years 1909-12 he lived and was educated in Dunstable, England. Otherwise, from the age of five, he spent his summers on his father's ranch in northern Montana and his winters in Helena, where for some time he was a near neighbour of Myrna Williams (later Loy). After finishing school he worked on the family ranch until 1922, when he enrolled at Grinnell College, Iowa to study art. After eighteen months of that, and some time in Chicago and Helena, fortune took his parents (and so him) to Los Angeles. After weeks of struggling to find gainful employment, he met two Montana friends, Jim Galeen and Jim Calloway, who were working as film extras and stunt riders in low-budget Westerns. They introduced him to another Montana cowboy, rodeo champion Jay "Slim" Talbot, who hooked Cooper up with a casting director. (Talbot later worked as Cooper's stuntman and stand-in for over thirty years, becoming a close friend and hunting companion in the process.) Cooper accepted work as a film extra for five dollars a day and a stunt rider for twice that amount with the intention of saving enough money to pay for a professional art course. But his appearance in 1926 Western The Winning Of Barbara Worth attracted sufficient notice that his acting career began to take off.

The 2016 series, made possible through the generous support of PVS Chemicals, will run June 10–August 7 at the historic Ohio Theatre (39 E. State St.) and will feature 25 films over nine weeks. 2016 highlights include 10 series premieres, a silent film with live musical accompaniment, two Saturday mornings of classic cartoons, a Woody Allen Comedy Double Feature, and the return of Fright Nite Friday.

Patrons will have the chance to meet Fritz in the lobby before and after the screenings, and he’ll also introduce both films.

  • The Lubitsch Touch Film Series
    m iThe Museum of Modern Art No. 101+ 11 West 53 Street, New York, N.Y, 10019 Tel. 245-3200 Cable: Modernart FOR RELEASE AFTER Sunday, October 20, I968 THE LUBHSCH TOUCH; THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE RETROSPECTIVE OF ERNST LUBITSCH The most comprehensive Ernst Lubitsch Film Retrospective ever assembled In any part of the world will take place at The Museum of Modern Art from October 21st to December 3rd, when forty-one of the master film-maker*s pictures, culled from archives In nine countries, and dating back to 191^^ will be shown. "The Lubitsch Touch," as the program Is called, coincides with the publication of a book of the same title by Herman G, Weinberg, who together with Adrienne Mancla of the Department of Film, devoted one year to the preparation of this retrospective enlisting the cooperation of archives in West Berlin, Vienna, Amsterdam, Brussels, Weisbaden, Copenhagen, Paris, and Rochester. The films, covering thirty-three years, will include the German-born director's earliest works with Emll Jannlngs and Pola Negri as well as his Hollywood films, such as "The Love Parade," "The Smiling Lieutenant" and "Trouble in Paradise," for which he is most famous. Though he is celebrated for "the Lubitsch touch," the director was "a seminal figure in the cinema's formative years," according to Hezman G. Weinberg.
