While the dissertation itself is an overwhelming feat, this acknowledgements section feels equally heavy. Expressing my gratitude and thanks for every person who has made this possiBle feels quite impossiBle. And as someone who once detested both school and writing, there’s a lot of people I am thankful for. It is a fact that I could not completed a PhD, let alone a dissertation, on my own. Graduate school wears you down, and especially one framed By the 2016 presidential election and 2020 uprisings, rise of white supremacy, and a gloBal pandemic, graduate school is really hard and writing is the last thing you want to do. While I’ve spent days going through mental lists of people and groups who’ve helped me, this is not a complete list and my sincere apologies to anyone I’ve forgotten. First and foremost, this dissertation would not be where it is today without the guidance and support of my advisors Jo Lee and Elliott Powell. The hours of advice and words of wisdom I received from you both not only shaped my project and affirmed its direction, but they also reminded me of the realistic expectations we should have for ourselves.

  • Clinton Greyn (1933-2019)
    CLINTON GREYN (1933-2019) The great legacy of CLINTON GREYN (1933-2019) is as one of the 1960s' British adventure series' unsung heroes. His Captain Robert Virgin in ATV's Virgin of the Secret Service (1968) stands as one of the classic English gentleman swashbucklers of the decade, alongside Gerald Harper's Adam Adamant and Patrick Macnee's John Steed in The Avengers. Created by Ted Willis, Virgin of the Secret Service (thankfully available on DVD since 2013) was an entertaining, tongue-in-cheek, Boys' Own-style saga of derring-do and stiff upper-lip, in which Captain Virgin, aided by the glamorous Mrs. Cortez (Veronica Strong) and his loyal batman Doublett (John Cater) defended far-flung corners of the British Empire from its foes, most frequently the scheming Teutonic villain Karl Von Brauner (Alexander Doré). Imperial in theme, sardonic in tone, the jury's still out on whether Virgin of the Secret Service was short-lived because by 1968 it was too old-fashioned or, instead, because it was ahead of its time. But the fact that it was filmed in grainy black-and-white wouldn't have helped. Clinton Greyn also guest-starred in other adventure series of the era, such as The Champions and Department S, and he lent distinguished support to several prestigious films of the 1960s: Otto Preminger's Exodus (1960) starring Paul Newman and Eva Marie Saint; Ralph Thomas's The High Bright Sun (1964), with Dirk Bogarde, George Chakiris and Susan Strasberg; Peter Yates's Robbery (1967), starring Stanley Baker; the Shirley MacLaine vehicle Woman Times Seven (1967), directed by Vittorio De Sica; and Herbert Ross's good-looking but ill-advised musical adaptation of Goodbye, Mr.

  • Ronald Davis Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts
    Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts in America Southern Methodist University The Southern Methodist University Oral History Program was begun in 1972 and is part of the University’s DeGolyer Institute for American Studies. The goal is to gather primary source material for future writers and cultural historians on all branches of the performing arts- opera, ballet, the concert stage, theatre, films, radio, television, burlesque, vaudeville, popular music, jazz, the circus, and miscellaneous amateur and local productions. The Collection is particularly strong, however, in the areas of motion pictures and popular music and includes interviews with celebrated performers as well as a wide variety of behind-the-scenes personnel, several of whom are now deceased. Most interviews are biographical in nature although some are focused exclusively on a single topic of historical importance. The Program aims at balancing national developments with examples from local history. Interviews with members of the Dallas Little Theatre, therefore, serve to illustrate a nation-wide movement, while film exhibition across the country is exemplified by the Interstate Theater Circuit of Texas. The interviews have all been conducted by trained historians, who attempt to view artistic achievements against a broad social and cultural backdrop. Many of the persons interviewed, because of educational limitations or various extenuating circumstances, would never write down their experiences, and therefore valuable information on our nation’s cultural heritage would be lost if it were not for the S.M.U. Oral History Program. Interviewees are selected on the strength of (1) their contribution to the performing arts in America, (2) their unique position in a given art form, and (3) availability.
