Paramount's 20Th Birthday Jubilee 1931

Ill rights renerivd. UKOR O Adolph Zukor, eader of the motion picture industry, who first envisioned quality motion picture enter- tainment for the mil- lions as we know it today and whose hand and spirit is most re- sponsible for the mighty progress of Paramount, this book and this pro- gram of pictures are dedicated. Pill 1344 THREE MILESTONE ARAMOUNT'S 20th Birthday Jubilee is of world-wide interest. For the history of Paramountandof Adolph Zukor is the history of the motion picture industry. In 1905, Mr. Zukor at his theatre in Newark, N.J. , introduced the first multiple-reel picture, "The Passion Play". He installed the first organ ever heard in a picture house and a quartet singing"The Rosary". The instant response which these innovations, new and daring for their time, received from the public, the entertainment and genuine inspiration which the crowded houses derived, impressed Mr. Zukor deeply. He resolved to devote his life and fortune to the production and distribution of quality photoplays. The ideal of the modern motion picture and of Paramount was born. His plans brought slowly but surely to fruition, Mr. Zukor in 1911 gave the world "Queen Elizabeth", starring Sarah Bernhardt. The succession of "famous players in famous plays"—James K. Hackett in "The Prisoner of Zenda", Mrs. Fiske in "Tess of the D'Urbervilles" and the rest of the royal line — started. Down through two scores of crowded years Paramount has devoted itself to this ideal first conceived by Adolph Zukor. -
Abstract Acknowledgments TOC 2
Voicing Modernism: Talk, Technology, and Aesthetics Sara Bryant Charlottesville, Virginia B. A., Bowdoin College, 1999 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of English University of Virginia August 2013 Bryant i ABSTRACT This project traces how modernists in the verbal and visual arts engage with embodied voice and its technological mediation. Through attention to theorists such as Kaja Silverman, Stanley Cavell, Mladen Dolar, and Bruno Latour, as well as through extensive archival research, I show how works of both British and American modernism from the 1920s to the early 1940s interrogate the political and aesthetic significance of the voice in modernity. Scholars such as Sara Danius and Douglas Kahn have provided compelling accounts of sound in modernity and modernism. Critical attention specifically to voice within the modern soundscape, however, has remained scant. Voice proves an elusive topic because even while blurring divisions between exterior and interior, subject and object, and mind and body in meaningful ways, it also proves resistant to the work of unsettling binaries such as human/nonhuman, phone/logos, and presence/absence. I demonstrate how modernist writers and filmmakers experiment with the shifting status of voice across media and genres as they explore concerns made urgent in the epoch of world war: technology’s purchase upon embodied experience, the gendered ramifications of this experience, and the troubled link between politics and aesthetics. This focus on voice in modernism allows me to link seemingly disparate artistic moments. My first chapter reads the filmmaker Dorothy Arzner’s meditations on gendered voice in her silent and sound films, situating her Hollywood career within modernist and feminist discourses about gender and filmic voice. -
Escritoras En La Gran Pantalla. La Legión De La Decencia Vs. La Fábrica De Sueños [1]
aposta http://www.apostadigital.com/revistav3/hemeroteca/ballesteros6.pdf revista de ciencias sociales nº 50, Julio, Agosto y Septiembre 2011 ISSN 1696-7348 ESCRITORAS EN LA GRAN PANTALLA. LA LEGIÓN DE LA DECENCIA VS. LA FÁBRICA DE SUEÑOS [1] Rosa María Ballesteros García Universidad de Málaga Introducción El sociólogo e historiador de cine Pierre Sorlin [2] escribió que “la memoria funda la historia” y que el historiador es, en el fondo, “el escribano de la historia colectiva”. Sabias palabras de uno de los autores de referencia obligada en los trabajos de investigación sobre la relación cine/historia. Lillian Hellman (1905-1984), dramaturga de Louisiana y compañera del escritor Samuel Dashiell Hammett (1894-1961) [3], ejerció como escribana al detallar el “tiempo de canallas” que ambos padecieron durante los años de la caza de brujas dirigida por Joe McCarthy (1908-1957). Fueron años en que el propio Hammett creador de personajes tan famosos como “Sam Spade”, el detective encarnado por Bogart en El halcón maltés [4] y otros muchos compañeros, acusados de simpatizar con el comunismo, dieron con sus huesos en la cárcel (como el propio Hammett) o soportaron la persecución, los despidos, el desprecio o el odio de los buenos patriotas norteamericanos. Eran tiempos que ya anticipaban escritores “malditos” como F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896- 1940), William Faulkner (1897-1962) o el Nobel Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961), autores todos que han sido llevados a la gran pantalla [5], como también lo fue el 1 dramaturgo, y también Nobel Eugene O´Neill (1888-1953), suegro de Chaplin (a su pesar), todos ellos retratistas poco halagadores del sistema en su denuncia del puritanismo victoriano. -
1 Philip Leers Behind the Great Man
Philip Leers Behind the Great Man Female Screenwriters and Collaborative Authorship in Early Hollywood The predominance of the auteur theory in cinema studies has been a double-edged sword, each benefit attended by a disadvantage. While it mitigated the primacy of the Hollywood system, it posited in its place the equally problematic figure of the director as the sole source of meaning-making in filmmaking. While it has brought to light a worthy list of previously unappreciated films and directors, it has also been justly criticized for reinforcing the centrality of white, male directors, and exacerbating the marginalization of other voices. And while it has provided an invaluable identificatory and analytic framework for film theorists, it has also fostered an essentialist, and often ahistorical, conception of film authorship. The cult of the male director, for instance, has obscured the remarkable contributions of female screenwriters to the early cinema. Throughout the silent era, and into the thirties, a majority of the screen’s foremost scenarists were women, with luminaries like Alice Guy Blache, Anita Loos, Elinor Glyn, Lois Weber, Francis Marion, Beulah Marie Dix, June Mathis, Jeanie MacPherson, Marion Fairfax, and Jane Murfin achieving a considerable measure of influence within the industry and celebrity without. These screenwriters constituted a network of powerful women who outnumbered their male counterparts ten to one, a ratio that was perhaps only possible in the infancy of the cinema, when filmmaking practice had not yet been consolidated under the patriarchal hierarchy of the Hollywood system. Certainly, the masculinist slant of Hollywood’s “Golden Age” and its subsequent usurping of the public interest served to efface the impact of these women on the film industry, but their prominence at a time when the narrative language of the cinema was taking shape cannot be ignored. -

DOROTHY ARZNER DOROTHY DOROTHY ARZNER PROGRAMMATION RÉTROSPECTIVE 22 MARS – 9 AVRIL EN PARTENARIAT AVEC LE FESTIVAL INTERNATIONAL DE FILMS DE FEMMES DE CRÉTEIL ET L’INSTITUT LUMIÈRE Le Phalène d’argent 57 DOROTHY ARZNER : UNE FEMME DANS UN MONDE D’HOMMES Elle fut l’une des rares femmes réalisatrices à avoir mené une carrière au cœur même du système des studios à Hollywood. D’abord monteuse et scénariste, elle signera la mise en scène d’une vingtaine de films entre 1927 et 1943, essen- tiellement pour la Paramount. Elle fera tourner quelques grandes vedettes du moment (Fredric March, Katharine Hepburn, Joan Crawford). On lui doit une œuvre très personnelle, remarquable notamment par l’originalité de ses per- sonnages féminins. Dans l’histoire du cinéma américain, Dorothy Arzner n’a pas eu l’importance ni le succès d’une Lois Weber ou d’une Alice Guy Baché, deux immenses pionnières. Mais elle a la distinction d’avoir été la seule femme à faire carrière de réalisatrice à l’époque du studio system. En cela, malgré les récentes tentatives pour en faire une secrète héroïne du combat féministe, elle était logée à la même enseigne que des auteurs comme William Wellman, George Cukor ou Raoul Walsh, c’est-à-dire des réalisateurs qui dépendaient beaucoup des matériaux dont ils héritaient, qui militaient rarement pour faire tel ou tel film, mais au contraire s’arrangeaient presque toujours pour rendre ces histoires meilleures qu’elles ne le méritaient peut-être. C’est en cette façon de surmonter les gageures de casting ou de bud- get qu’ils faisaient preuve, ou non, de personnalité, et qu’on a pu les qualifier d’auteurs à une époque. -
