  • Tom Mix Achieved an Authentic Taste of Cowboy Americana He Was Never ·Able to Capture Again
    BUDDINI WISTIRN STIR During his years, 1910-1917, at Selig-Polyscope, Tom Mix achieved an authentic taste of cowboy Americana he was never ·able to capture again. by Roberts. Birchard .Tom Mix's early years read very much like a Mark Twain odyssey, heavily salted with strains of Ho­ ratio Alger, Jr. Born January 6, 1880 at Mix Run, Clearfield County, Pennsylvania, Tom was the son of Ed and Elizabeth Mix. His father had been a member of the famed 7th Cavalry, but throughout Tom's youth he was employed as stablemaster for Pennsylvania industrialist, J. E. Du Bois. Tom, of course, learned to ride almost be­ fore he could walk. At age eighteen, Tom left home. He would later say, with tongue in cheek no doubt, that he left because he couldn't stand the smell of the animals in his father's stable; but in reality, he had been indentured to Du Bois's foundry, and the prospects of factory life did not appeal to him. Tom Mix's military record has long been a matter of dispute, but it would seem that he did serve in Cuba du1r­ ing the Spanish-American War, and that he saw action in the Philippine Insurrection and was a member of the American Expeditionary Force sent to China in the• Boxer Rebellion. Wounded at the battle of Tien Tsin, he was shipped home and mustered out of the service: After his hitch in the Army, Tom drifted to the South­ west, where he found work as a bartender, a cowboy, a lawman in a series of nbn-permanent construction camps, and finally as a Wild West show performer, be­ coming the foreman of the famed Miller Brothers' 101 Ranch Show in 1906.

  • Jeanie Macpherson
    Jeanie Macpherson Also Known As: Jeanie MacPherson, Jeannie MacPherson Lived: May 18, 1888 - August 26, 1946 Worked as: director, film actress, screenwriter Worked In: United States by Jane Gaines Jeanie Macpherson is best known as Cecil B. DeMille’s screenwriter since she collaborated exclusively with the director-producer from 1915 through the silent era and into the sound era, in a working relationship lasting fifteen years. Like many other women who became established as screenwriters, she began her career as a performer, first as a dancer and then as an actress. Her numerous acting screen credits begin in 1908, and nearly thirty of the short films she appeared in for the Biograph Company, most directed by D. W. Griffith, are extant. At Universal Pictures, Macpherson began to write, but due to a fluke she also directed the one film that she wrote there— a one-reel Western, The Tarantula (1913), according to a 1916 Photoplay article (95). Although Anthony Slide cannot confirm the success of the film, both he and Charles Higham retell the story that when the film negative was destroyed by accident, the actress was asked to reshoot the entire motion picture just as she recalled it since the original director was unavailable (Slide 1977, 60; Higham 1973, 38). There are several versions of how Jeanie Macpherson, out of work after The Tarantula, was hired by DeMille at the Jesse L. Lasky Feature Play Company. The most elaborate version is from Higham, who describes Macpherson’s attempt to get an acting job as involving a series of battles between the two while the director was shooting Rose of the Rancho (1914) (38–40).

    The recut trailer as networked object Anticipation and nostalgia in the YouTube era Kathleen Williams A thesis in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of the Arts and Media Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences March 2014 ! ! PLEASE TYPE THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: Williams First name: Kathleen Other name/s: Amy Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: PhD School: School of the Arts and Media Faculty: Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences Title: The recut trailer as networked object: Anticipation and nostalgia in the YouTube era Abstract 350 words maximum: (PLEASE TYPE) Recut trailers have been uploaded to YouTube since its launch in 2005 and remain one of the site's most popular forms of video. Recut trailers can involve a number of practices: some trailer creators shoot original footage for a film that will never exist, others splice together existing footage to bypass the typical path of feature film promotion, while some seek to change the genre of an existing film. The recut trailer adopts the form of an advertisement and yet does not advertise an end product. This study analyses recut trailers uploaded to YouTube in the period of 2005-2012. This dissertation contributes to the limited literature available on the film trailer by arguing that the recut trailer should be considered as a networked object. I map the traces and residues left by the recut trailer on YouTube, as well as the spatial, temporal and textual connections that they make to feature films, cinematic space, and online cultures and practices.

  • Kathlyn Williams
    Kathlyn Williams Also Known As: Kathleen Williams Lived: May 31, 1888 - September 24, 1960 Worked as: director, film actress, screenwriter Worked In: United States by Mark Garrett Cooper Kathlyn Williams began work in motion pictures as an actress with Biograph in New York. “I was playing in stock,” she recounted to Photoplay in 1917. “One week when I was not working someone called me up from the Biograph studio and asked if I would work two days for them. I was dreadfully insulted at first, but I went out of curiosity expecting to be offered about fifty cents a day.” To her amazement, D. W. Griffith paid her ten dollars for each day’s work (77). Williams told Photoplay that she performed in three Biograph titles, but in combination, Paul Spehr and the American Film Institute catalog credit her with a total of five, with release dates beginning in 1909. Sources agree that she joined the Selig Polyscope Company in 1910 and quickly became the company’s leading actress. From the start, she played an action heroine, although she was also featured in dramatic roles. In 1913-14 she starred in the Adventures of Kathlyn, generally regarded as the first serial with “hold-over” suspense. While with Selig, she wrote scenarios for at least five titles, one of which, The Leopard’s Foundling (1914), written by Maibelle Heikes Justice, the Selig release notes credit her with directing. In 1916 she began her second marriage, to Charles Eyton, described in most biographies as a Paramount executive, but likely general manager of the Oliver Morosco Photoplay Company, which released through distributor Paramount at the time.
