  • Hold That Ghost in Late 1941 Milton Berle Was Said to Have Quipped, "Things Are Slow in Hollywood
    Those Slap-Happy Screamsters Go A’haunting! Saturday, October 23 at 2 & 8 pm only Abbott and Costello’s Hold That Ghost In late 1941 Milton Berle was said to have quipped, "Things are slow in Hollywood. Abbott and Costello haven't made a picture all day." And he was right. fter the smash success of their first starring feature,Buck Privates, (1941) burlesque and Aradio comics Bud Abbott and Lou Costello were the number one box office attraction in the country--and literally saved Universal Studios from bankruptcy. In fact, the only movie that outgrossed Buck Privates at the time was Gone with the Wind. Anxious to keep the team working, Universal Studios had already completed production on their next film, a non-music spoof of two popular film genres of the era--the Haunted House movie and Gangster melodrama--then titled Oh Charlie! (a reference to a running gag in the film where a dead gangster's body keeps turning up). But when the huge box office returns fromBuck Privates began rolling in, Universal temporarily shelved Oh Charlie! to put the team in an- other service themed follow-up, In the Navy. When they returned to Oh Charlie! , Universal discovered test audiences for the film wondered why the Andrews Sisters, who had been in the two previous hits, were absent in this one. So additional re-shoots were required to include the trio, now making it a horror/ comedy, with a couple of songs thrown in. The title was eventually changed to Hold That Ghost and became the third smash hit for Abbott and Costello that year, continuing a string of successes that would keep them among the top box office attractions for the next ten years and would also serve as the inspiration for another classic, 1948's Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein.

Bilko, M*A*S*H and the Heyday of U.S. Military Sitcoms (1955-75) Dennis Tredy 1 If the title of this paper quotes part of the refrain from Edwin Starr’s 1970 protest song, “War,” the song’s next line, proclaiming that war is good for “absolutely nothing” seems inaccurate, at least in terms of successful television sitcoms of from the 1950s to the 1970s. In fact, while Starr’s song was still an anti-Vietnam War battle cry, ground- breaking television programs like M*A*S*H (CBS, 1972-1983) were using laughter and tongue-in-cheek treatment of the horrors of war to provide a somewhat more palatable expression of the growing anti-war sentiment to American audiences.

  • American Heritage Center
    UNIVERSITY OF WYOMING AMERICAN HERITAGE CENTER GUIDE TO ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY RESOURCES Child actress Mary Jane Irving with Bessie Barriscale and Ben Alexander in the 1918 silent film Heart of Rachel. Mary Jane Irving papers, American Heritage Center. Compiled by D. Claudia Thompson and Shaun A. Hayes 2009 PREFACE When the University of Wyoming began collecting the papers of national entertainment figures in the 1970s, it was one of only a handful of repositories actively engaged in the field. Business and industry, science, family history, even print literature were all recognized as legitimate fields of study while prejudice remained against mere entertainment as a source of scholarship. There are two arguments to be made against this narrow vision. In the first place, entertainment is very much an industry. It employs thousands. It requires vast capital expenditure, and it lives or dies on profit. In the second place, popular culture is more universal than any other field. Each individual’s experience is unique, but one common thread running throughout humanity is the desire to be taken out of ourselves, to share with our neighbors some story of humor or adventure. This is the basis for entertainment. The Entertainment Industry collections at the American Heritage Center focus on the twentieth century. During the twentieth century, entertainment in the United States changed radically due to advances in communications technology. The development of radio made it possible for the first time for people on both coasts to listen to a performance simultaneously. The delivery of entertainment thus became immensely cheaper and, at the same time, the fame of individual performers grew.

    15 1 ‘United Nations children’ in Hollywood cinema: Juvenile actors and humanitarian sentiment in the 1940s Michael Lawrence This chapter examines specific ideological and aesthetic dimensions of the represen- tation of children in American films produced during and directly after the Second World War in relation to the promotion and operations of the United Nations.1 It addresses how pitiable and vulnerable children from the world’s warzones – specific- ally groups of orphaned, abandoned and injured children from different countries – appeared and functioned in four Hollywood studio pictures: Twentieth Century Fox’s suspense thriller The Pied Piper (Irving Pichel, 1942), Universal’s romantic musical The Amazing Mrs Holliday (Jean Renoir/ Bruce Danning, 1943), RKO’s com- edian comedy Heavenly Days (Howard Estabrook, 1944) and RKO’s family fantasy The Boy with Green Hair (Joseph Losey, 1948). I explore how these films presented groups of children to harness humanitarian sentiment in support of the ideology and activities of the UN, and consider the critical response to (and a director’s reflections on) the juvenile actors who appeared in the films; while the figure of the child acquired new cultural and political significance in the era of the UN’s wartime and post- war humanitarian endeavours, the presentation and performance of the Hollywood child actor simultaneously became subject to new modes of aesthetic apprehension and evaluation. As Liisa H. Malkki has suggested, children are ‘central to widely circulating representations of “humanity”

  • Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy"; Commending Bill Arter’S Life and Career; and Directing Distribution
    ENROLLED SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 38 By: Newberry A Resolution finding Bill Arter the inspiration for "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy"; commending Bill Arter’s life and career; and directing distribution. WHEREAS, William "Bill" Bernard Arter was born June 10, 1923, in Woodriver, Illinois, the son of James and Lillian Arter. As a young man he tried out as a second baseman for the St. Louis Cardinals and was told to report for spring training. Instead, Bill was drafted into military service during World War II and reported to the United States Army. He was assigned to the Medical Unit of Company B; and WHEREAS, Bill Arter played the bugle. The Army was racially segregated at the time, and Company C was an all-black outfit. Whenever he had the opportunity, Bill would visit Company C for jam sessions, thus earning him the nickname, "The Bugle Boy from Company B"; and WHEREAS, Bill Arter earned five Bronze Stars during his military service. Bill celebrated his 21st birthday deployed with the third wave during the D-Day invasion where he won one of his Bronze Stars. As a medic he cared for wounded soldiers, but his care was not limited to medical matters as he entertained the troops as well. Throughout the war Bill would join with a few other musically inclined soldiers and entertain what would eventually total thousands of troops; and WHEREAS, Don Raye and Hughie Prince wrote the song, "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy", which was introduced by the Andrews Sisters in the 1941 Abbott and Costello movie, "Buck Privates". "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy" was nominated for an Academy Award as Best Song.

  • Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein by Ron Palumbo
    Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein By Ron Palumbo “Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein” would probably be the last film anyone would think of as divisive or controversial.
