  • Dinner at Eight CELEBRATING MARIE DRESSLER’S 150Th BIRTHDAY
    SOUVENIR PROGRAM Dinner At Eight CELEBRATING MARIE DRESSLER’S 150th BIRTHDAY from the collection of Marie Dressler Foundation Saturday, September 29, 2018 Best Western Plus Cobourg Inn, Cobourg, Canada MARIE’S 62nd BIRTHDAY SCRAPBOOK November 9, 1933 A STORY WORTH TELLING Almost one hundred and fifty years ago, a little girl named Leila Koerber came into this world here in Cobourg. Who was to know that some sixty plus years later, Leila, now named Marie Dressler, would become an Academy Award winner and the highest grossing movie star in the world for the years 1932 and 1933? While Marie would only spend the earliest years of her life here in Cobourg, she made a lasting impression. Once she arrived on Broadway in the late 1890’s, after almost twenty years of honing her operatic and comedic skills in travelling troupes, people began to notice and fall in love with this not-so-little girl. Although she starred in the first full length silent comedy, “Tillie’s Punctured Romance” in 1914 with a young Charlie Chaplin, her promising silent film career was interrupted by WWI. Afterwards, no one seemed interested in a fifties-something actor. Marie turned to charity work and became known for her social activism, always looking to help women less fortunate than herself. But she was destined to become a movie star. And it happened in 1930, when her friend, Frances Marion, the most successful screenwriter in Hollywood, tailored a star-worthy supporting role for her in “Anna Christie”. This film was a big deal as it was Greta Garbo’s first speaking role.

The rats, free to play, entertain themselves by dancing, playing phonograph records, cavorting with the player piano, and using the bathtub for a swimming pool. Soon the party gets completely out of control. (Why Alice was brewing alcohol in her basement remains an open question.) “Speaking of his studio in later years, Disney was fond of saying that ‘it all started with a little mouse’ – but in fact the foundation was laid in 1924 by a little girl.” – Merritt & Kaufman, Walt in Wonderland Young Walt Disney broke into the movie business in Kansas City, as an illustrator for a company that produced glass slides and advertising shorts for theaters. Along with his buddy Fred Harman, he struck out on his own, hoping to jump-start their new company with a partly-animated comical short called Laugh-O-Grams, produced for the influential local theater owner, Frank L. Newman. This was successful enough that they were able to secure funding to hire additional animators, including now- legendary pioneers Ubbe “Ub” Iwerks, Hugh Harman, Rudolph Ising, and Friz Freleng.

  • Without Lying Down: Frances Marion and the Powerful Women of Early Hollywood'
    H-Film Black on Beauchamp, 'Without Lying Down: Frances Marion and the Powerful Women of Early Hollywood' Review published on Monday, March 1, 1999 Cari Beauchamp. Without Lying Down: Frances Marion and the Powerful Women of Early Hollywood. Berkeley: University of California Press, 1998. 475 pp. $21.95 (paper), ISBN 978-0-520-21492-7; $30.00 (cloth), ISBN 978-0-684-80213-8. Reviewed by Liza Black (University of Washington) Published on H-Film (March, 1999) A Boa Constrictor Without Lying Down is the well-deserved biography of an extraordinarily talented, unique, and powerful woman. She wrote hundreds of screenplays and had a profound impact on the lives of her friends and family. She was a professional woman amongst professional women. She was steadfastly loyal. She was also generous with her influence and power. According to her friend Adela Rogers St. Johns: "Frances Marion had the rugged determination of a boa constrictor where a friend was concerned." Beauchamp ably tells the story of Frances Marion's professional life. Marion was born in San Francisco in 1888. She moved to Los Angeles with her second husband. Where studio bosses initially noticed her looks instead of her writing. Others noted her beauty as well, but the only thing Marion took seriously was, first and foremost, her writing and, secondarily, attractive men. Over the course of her life, she wrote almost 200 produced films. During World War I, she was selected to film American Women in the War in France. She won two Academy Awards for writing The Big House (1930) and The Champ (1931) In 1933, Marion was elected as the first vice-president of the newly- formed Screen Writers' Guild.

    SOUVENIR 20 th ANNIVERSARY PROGRAM ($5) October 26, 27 & 28, 2012 A MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR OF THE MARIE DRESSLER FOUNDATION It is unbelievable that I am addressing you on this our twentieth anniversary of the annual Vintage Film Festival. We started off in a very small manner and held our fi rst fi lm festival at the Best Western Inn. It was perhaps a grand vision that our small committee had, but it garnered enough interest that we decided to do it again… and again. In those fi rst years we used many diff erent venues in Cobourg, the Best Western Inn, Northumberland Heights, Victoria Hall. We showed Dinner at Eight at the Park Th eatre on King Street in Cobourg. We now use the splendid Capitol Th eatre, the Mary J. Benson Public Library in Port Hope, and Victoria Hall in Cobourg. Our committee has grown and we have many talented and proud people who assist in putting on the Festival. Th ey choose the fi lms, set up the venues, choose interesting speakers for you, give you more knowledge of these gifted stars and make you comfortable. We hope that you have enjoyed our silent fi lms, our talented pianists, our very special guests such as Elwy Yost, his facts on the movies, the lunches, the dinners and the classic ‘talkies’. Marie Dressler was a very talented and resourceful actress and woman, and we are proud to carry on part of her heritage. Alma Draper and her team have chosen graduating students who are continuing their education in the Arts for bursaries through the years.
