A finales de los cincuenta, la modernidad empezaba a asomar entre las producciones de Hollywood, también en un género tan señero como el western. En 1958, dos películas del Oeste abordan tropos clásicos del género desde perspectivas insólitas. En «El vengador sin piedad» (The Bravados), el veterano Henry King problematiza la venganza ejecutada por el protagonista al que encarna Gregory Peck; un personaje al que dota de un espacio fronterizo, lúgubre, casi purgatorial. Raras veces las sombras han tenido tanto protagonismo en un western. En «El último pistolero de la frontera» (The Last of the Fast Guns, George Sherman), producción de serie B de la Universal, Jock Mahoney interpreta a un pistolero a sueldo en la que espera que sea su última misión, consciente de que la era de las leyendas del revólver toca a su fin. En las sierras mexicanas acabará por encontrar una posible redención que no buscaba. Al otro lado del micro, disparan sus reflexiones Miguel Muñoz Garnica, Lourdes Esqueda, José Luis Forte y Gema Pérez Herrera.

This week's Dorothy McGuire episode continues the trend of unusual wife and mother roles with two family melodramas from 1959, Henry King's tale of an economically and psychologically troubled viticulture dynasty, This Earth Is Mine, and Delmer Daves' frank, sex-positive look at sexual mores among the respectable middle classes during the late 1950s, A Summer Place, which had contemporary reviewers reaching for the smelling salts. Whether playing a sympathetic adulteress who has to deal with her teenage son's inconvenient libido in addition to her own or a love-thwarted wife who wants to appropriate the family patriarch role, McGuire is a far cry from the typical housewife of 50s TV.  Time Codes: 0h 00m 45s:         THIS EARTH IS MINE (1959) [dir.

https://notesonfilm1.com/2023/05/11/thinking-aloud-about-film-stella-dallas-henry-king-usa-1925/ We discuss the latest in the series of magnificent Film Foundation Screenings, the 1925 version of STELLA DALLAS directed by Henry King and restored by MOMA. It's a glorious experience to see a film now almost 100 years old, looking brand new, probably seeing it in a better condition than most audiences would have seen it upon first release, particularly if they didn't live in major metropolitan centres. The quality of the image, the toning, the tinting: it's a sensuous joy. We also praise the film itself. It's a work that continues to move. We compare it to two later versions: King Vidor's 1937 film with Barbara Stanwyck and John Erman's 1990 version with Bette Midler. We discuss the treatment of class in all three films. José argues for the superiority of the 1937 version and praises Stanwyck and the extraordinary last shot of that film. That aside, we also discuss why we love this marvellous silent film, praised as a masterpiece when it first came out and then sidelined as a mere ‘woman's film' for many generations.

In this episode we read satirical poems by Hillary Bellock, mocking the trend of over the top violent lessons in 19th century children's books. Henry King; Who chewed bits of String, and was early cut off in Dreadful Agonies.Matilda; Who told Lies, and was Burned to Death.Lord Lundy; Who was too Freely Moved to Tears, and thereby ruined his Political Career.George;Who played with a Dangerous Toy, and suffered a Catastrophe of considerable Dimensions.You can read these and more poems here: https://www.gutenberg.org/files/27424/27424-h/27424-h.htmMusic: Run Amok by Kevin MacLeodOur submissions page: https://yorickradioproductions.com/submissions/Support the show

"Ta-ta. You won't see me again. Im going to shoot my wife and baby," - those were the last words spoken by 26-year old, Henry King on Friday 12th December 1958 to an acquaintance named Sheila Whipp at the Dun Horse Hotel in Blackburn. Her reply to such a statement was simple enough, "don't be stupid." King then handed her a small looking object that she initially believed to have been nothing more than a cigarette lighter. The object was in fact a bundle of around twenty-five bullet cartridges.

Welcome to It's A Wonderful Podcast!! A return to the somewhat neglected genre of Westerns on the main show this week; and while occasionally it may be more difficult to get excited about certain types of Western, Morgan and Jeannine have found one they can really get behind here... Join them as they discuss Henry King's THE GUNFIGHTER (1950) starring Gregory Peck, Helen Westcott, Millard Mitchell & Karl Malden; a quietly intense, reserved, personal and wonderfully emotional movie that keeps you in its grip and shows why Gregory Peck may just be a little under-thought of when it comes to great Western actors. It also helps that he sports one of the very best moustaches that we are proud to have a place for in our Moustache Hall of Fame!

Law & Order OG is back after over a ten year hiatus. Sam Waterston looks the same, the episode format is familiar, but there are some new faces and murders to catch up on. On Today's Episode, we take a look at the premiere of season 21 and investigate whether it passes muster. The episodes name is "The Right Thing," and it's about the murder of Henry King, a famous singer and social pariah who allegedly drugged and raped 40 women yet didn't serve much time. Tune in to hear our thoughts on everything from the acting to the verdict!

The Great American Novel podcast is an ongoing discussion about the novels we hold up as significant achievements in our American literary culture.  Additionally, we sometimes suggest novels who should break into the sometimes problematical canon and at other times we'll suggest books which can be dropped from such lofty consideration.  Your hosts are Kirk Curnutt and Scott Yarbrough, professors with little time and less sense who nonetheless enjoy a good book banter.   In conversation with writer Gertrude Stein, a Parisian mechanic disparaged the young and dissolute men who'd survived the Great War by calling them lost; Stein later tells Ernest Hemingway,  “You are all a Lost Generation.”  And so this 10th episode is a consideration of the Hemingway novel which, alongside The Great Gatsby, defines the Lost Generation of the post-World War I era for all of us: the masterful The Sun Also Rises.  We dig deep into the Papa legend, warts and all, and give the book a thorough and thoughtful reflection, taking coffee and cognac in the cafes of Montparnasse and running with the bulls in Pamplona even as we try for a few trout in the streams above Roncevalles.  Instead of canon fodder this time we  take a moment to reflect on  two losses to American Literary studies which bookended the year 2021 for us.   The film audio clips are from The Sun Also Rises, directed in 1957 by Henry King and staring Tyrone Power and Ava Gardner, among others (including an irascible aging Errol Flynn as Mike Campbell), and produced by Daryl F. Zanuck for 20th Century Fox.  All show music is by Lobo Loco.  The intro song is “Old Ralley”; the intermission is “The First Minute,” and the outro is “Inspector Invisible.”  For more information visit: https://locolobomusic.com/.

It comes from the OTR series Screen Directors Playhouse and is a classic western starring Greggory Peck.  It is titled The Gunfighter and first aired on June 7, 1951.  Featured Story - The Gunfighter The Gunfighter is a 1950 American Western film directed by Henry King and starring Gregory Peck.

She was the first woman to graduate with a degree in biology in Mexico. By 29, she was curator of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (Mexico City) herbarium, where she studied cacti. Her work brought notoriety, and she became known as The Queen of the Cacti. She co-wrote her masterpiece, Las Cactaceas de México, with Hernando Sánchez-Mejorada. In 1951, she cofounded the Mexican Cactus Society, which planned to celebrate her 100th birthday in 2001, but she died four days shy of the century mark. In 1980, Monaco's Princess Grace Kelly, who was also fond of cacti, presented Helia with the second-ever Golden Cactus Award. Helia helped found the Botanical Gardens at UNAM, where she served as the director throughout the 1960s. Once, when a strike occurred at the gardens, she offset her workers' lost wages with her own savings. In 2018, Google commemorated Helia's 117th birthday with a Google Doodle. Online, there is a memorable image of  Helia dressed in a skirt and blazer - with a knife in her hand - and standing next to an enormous Echinocactus platyacanthus, aka the giant barrel cactus. In Mexico, where the cactus is a native, the hairs are harvested for weaving, and a traditional candy is made from boiling the pith. Today, the Helia Bravo Hollis Botanical Garden, with more than 80 species of Cactaceae, is found at the Biosphere Reserve of Tehuacán. Helia once wrote, My reason for living is biology and cacti.   September 30,  1910 Birth of Edward Solomon Hyams, British gardener, French scholar, historian, anarchist, and writer. He was a gardening correspondent for the Illustrated London News and The Spectator and various horticultural journals. After WWII, he lived a self-sufficient lifestyle at Nut Tree Cottages in Molash in Kent. He planted a small vineyard and later wrote The Grape Vine in England (1949). The following year, he wrote From the Waste Land (1950), which describes the transformation of three acres at Nut Tree Cottages into a market garden that generated food and income. In The Gardener's Bedside Book (1968), he wrote, I have never been interested in and am incapable of writing about the great hybrid garden tulips. I do not mean to condemn them or anything foolish like that; but one cannot be interested in every kind of garden plant, and that particular kind has never made any real appeal to me whatsoever. But the botanical species tulips are quite another matter.   Unearthed Words Love is like a garden in the heart, he said. They asked him what he meant by garden. He explained about gardens. "In the cities," he said, "there are places walled off where color and decorum are magnified into a civilization. Like a beautiful woman," he said. How like a woman, they asked. He remembered their wives and said garden was just a figure of speech, then called for drinks all around. Two rounds later he was crying.  ― Jack Gilbert, Ovid in Tears, The Dance Most of All: Poems   Grow That Garden Library Windcliff by Daniel J. Hinkley This book came out in 2020, and the subtitle is A Story of People, Plants, and Gardens. In this book, we learn about Windcliff - one of two magnificent gardens created by the plantsman, nurseryman, and plant hunter Dan Hinkley. (Dan also created Heronswood.) “These iconic gardens, and the story of how one gave rise to the other, are celebrated in Hinkley's deeply personal Windcliff. In a lively style that mingles audacious opinions on garden design with cautionary tales of planting missteps, Hinkley shares his infectious passion for plants.” In these pages, you will fall in love with Windcliff thanks to the gorgeous photography and fall even deeper in love hearing about the careful way Dan created Windcliff, from the exceptional plants he selected to his pragmatic garden advice. This book is 280 pages of creating a garden with a modern master who loves plants and is delighted to share his stunning garden with us. You can get a copy of Windcliff by Daniel J.

THE GUNS OF AUGUST begins with a bang, with Gregory Peck, a script by Sy Bartlett and Beirne Lay, Jr., and a powerful directorial vision in Henry King, Twelve O'Clock High (1949) could only have been a masterpiece. One of the finest, most honest films ever made about the cost of war .MeasuringFlicksPodcast@gmail.comPatreon.com/QuillAndFilm

En El Guateque estamos de vuelta de las vacaciones, que viene a ser el fin del verano, las despedidas. Hoy despedimos a JUANA GINZO. Inimitable, personal y única, su voz era grave, con un timbre precioso, versátil, limpio, pero sobre la voz se imponía la propia Juana, con su actitud, su modo de ser. También se nos fueron Mikis Theodorakis - con su composición en 1964 de 'Zorba el griego', protagonizada por Anthony Quinn y dirigida por Michael Cacoyannis, Theodorakis consiguió llevar la música popular griega al mundo entero, y también fue el autor de una melodía utilizada en la película “Luna de miel” (en la que participó el bailarín Antonio). La discográfica de Gloria Lasso encargó al excelente poeta y actor Rafael de Penagos una letra en español que Gloria grabó con su espléndida y sensual voz.Otro recuerdo emocionado para los Everly Brothers, uno de los grupos más influyentes en el mundo de la música popular. Yo diría que el dúo más importante, sin desmerecer a otros. Este verano también nos dejó Don Everly, el mayor de los hermanos, el de la voz más grave y el que solía cantar los solos.Muchos han llorado el adiós de Charlie Watts. El punto es que nada de lo que han hecho los Rolling Stones hubiera sido posible, sin el impasible e imperturbable Charlie Watts.‘All Summer Long' podría parecer una tonta canción veraniega , pero la historia es algo más que un reflejo de una fantasía de quinceañeros en el verano, porque al final se recuerda que todos aquellos momentos felices serán sólo recuerdos de aquel largo verano. Muy poético, escrito por Mike Love . La melodía es del gran Brian Wilson, que se esmeró mucho en los arreglos vocales, con ese absolutamente maravilloso falsete.La película Grease dejaba la imagen del fin del verano, de despedida de un amor de verano, en esa escena de playa con la fuerza de las olas que protagonizaron Olivia Newton John y John Travolta . La canción apareció originalmente en un drama romántico dirigido por Henry King, La colina del adiós (Love is a Many-Splendored Thing) con William Holden y Jennifer Jones en los papeles principales. La película obtuvo tres Oscar: Mejor Canción Original, Mejor Banda Sonora Drama y Mejor Vestuario. La composición interpretada por The Four Aces se ha convertido en todo un clásico, y la grabaron, entre otros, Nat King Cole Brigitte Bardott canta A LA FIN D'ETÉ . Una canción compuesta por Gérard Bourgeois con el que colaboraba habitualmente Jean-Max Rivière , que se encargaba de los textos. Compuso casi toda la discografía de la Bardott y algunas canciones para Gloria Lasso..Gelu nos llena de esperanzas para esta temporada con una canción que interpretó Bobby Darin. Y este Guateque reúne también a Dusty Springfield. Fórmula V. Los Ángeles, Rocky Kan, Luis Aguilé, Bruno Lomas, Los Puntos, Caterina Valente

Our studio this week is 20th Century Fox, the year is 1936; two fascinating movies of dubious historicity (in the details, at least) by the ever-reliable Henry King, possibly Fox's most characteristic director. First up, Ramona, a sympathetic depiction of North American settler colonialism from the perspective of Native Americans (unfortunately, as ever, with white actors--Loretta Young and Don Ameche--playing the leads). Then, the surprisingly engrossing The Country Doctor, starring Jean Hersholt in his career defining role. We discuss the bizarre and tragic real-life story of the Ontario government's exhibition of the Dionne Quintuplets and what the movie gets right about Canadian society. Elise speculates on what Preston Sturges learned about small-town America from two Fox movies directed by Henry King that aren't even set in America, and Dave argues about the progressive influence of Darryl Zanuck on this phase of the studio.    Time Codes: 0h 01m 00s:                  RAMONA [dir.

«Bajo la copa de un maquilishuat florecido yo contemplaba los celajes de la tarde y el abierto paisaje veranero, ahora convertido en estampa de oro.... Estaba en la edad en que nuestras emociones son más intensas, y en la que algunos cariños se nos convierten —de pronto— en verdaderos apasionamientos. »El cálido febrero me entregaba su fuego en muchos árboles, y las golondrinas de países extraños olvidaban sus viajes en las ramas de las antiguas ceibas.... »Siempre gocé los olores de mi valle como una bestia joven: el fino aroma de las flores y de las yerbecillas del suelo; la fragancia de la arboleda rumorosa, que llenaba mis pulmones de salud y mi cuerpo entero de deleite.... »En esos momentos vi que mi padre acababa de llegar a mi lado y que se sentaba sobre la yerba, apoyando su espalda en el tronco del maquilishuat. Sobre nuestras cabezas caían —como alas de mariposas— las flores que se iban desprendiendo de los ramilletes y que parecían rosadas nubes.... »... Él, silencioso,... se puso a contemplar la hermosura de aquella exuberante florescencia. Quedó como abstraído por un rato..., y luego, quizás por vaciar lo que tenía en su corazón, recitó en su propia lengua unos versos sonoros, que hasta muchos años después supe que pertenecían a la obra poética de Henry King, obispo de Chichester.... »¡Gallardas flores... si yo pudiera ser tan atrevido como [ustedes] y tan poco vanidoso!... [Ofrecen su] inocente espectáculo y luego [regresan] a [sus] lechos de polvo. No [tienen] orgullo porque [conocen su] origen: porque [saben] que [sus] bordados trajes son de polvo. [Obedecen] a los meses y a las edades, mientras yo me empeño en estar siempre en primavera. Mi destino no quiere saber de invierno, ni de muerte; ni siquiera pensar en estas cosas. ¡Ah, si yo pudiera contemplar mi nicho del suelo y sonreír, y ser tan feliz como [ustedes]! [Enséñenme] a mirar a la muerte sin temerla, reconociéndola tan sólo como una tregua. ¡Cuántas veces he visto [su] triste funeral y luego [su] frescura airosa! ¡Gallardas flores... [enséñenme] que mi aliento debe endulzar y perfumar mi muerte!... »Mi padre se puso de pie y buscó el camino que conducía a la casa. Yo le seguí con pasos de sonámbula, comprendiendo entonces —con mi corazón y no con mi intelecto— que la belleza era todo aquello... ¡aquello que acababa de mirar, de escuchar y de sentir!»1 En este capítulo de su obra autobiográfica Tierra de infancia, la autora salvadoreña Claudia Lars nos hace ver, con su hermosa prosa poética, lo estrecha y especial que es, para muchos, la relación entre padre e hija. Gracias a Dios, sobre todo para quienes nunca han disfrutado ni podrán jamás disfrutar de tal relación con su padre biológico, que nuestro Padre celestial anhela que nuestra relación con Él como hijos suyos sea tanto o más íntima todavía. Por eso su Hijo Jesucristo, al observar a su vez la conducta de las aves del cielo y la hermosura de los lirios del campo, nos asegura que a los ojos del Padre celestial no sólo valemos mucho más que las aves, a las que alimenta día tras día, pase lo que pase, sino también que Él hará mucho más por nosotros que por las flores, a las que viste con mayor esplendor que el hombre más rico del mundo.2 Carlos ReyUn Mensaje a la Concienciawww.conciencia.net 1 Claudia Lars, Tierra de infancia (San Salvador: UCA Editores, 1987), pp. 199‑201. 2 Mt 6:26-30

Abrimos con este podcast una pequeña sección dedicada a las películas que cumplen 100 o 50 años en este año 2021. La primera parada es «Tol'able David», una de las obras más recordadas de la etapa muda de Henry King. Con Richard Barthelmess al frente del reparto, King se adentra en el género Americana (películas ambientadas en el mundo rural de comienzos del siglo XX) y demuestra su maestría para navegar entre registros cómicos, costumbristas y melodramáticos. Tras los micros de este viaje en el tiempo se encuentran Miguel Muñoz Garnica, José Luis Forte y Lourdes Esqueda.

In the eighth episode of Season 3 (Manifest Destiny) Kyle is joined by fellow podcast Zax Protzmann (of the West Coast Popcast) and musician Boston Stergis (of Sailor Ripley) to discuss the morally complex portrait of gunfighting fame that cast a shadow over the folklore of the American West and their outlaw heroes  in Henry King's The Gunfighter

After last week's SIXTH triple bill, Matt decided that a little romantic drama was in order. Seventh Heaven was directed by Henry King in 1937 and stars James Stewart and Simone Simon.

For our Fox 1935 episode of The Studios Year by Year, we look at two films about forming idyllic communities within a nightmare society: Henry King's One More Spring, Fox's version of a Depression movie (based on a novel by Portrait of Jennie author Robert Nathan); and John Ford's Steamboat Round the Bend, another Will Rogers satire of Southern mores. Plus Dave reports on the reaction in Southern newspapers to Ford's previous film with Rogers, Judge Priest, and some evidence about Black audience reception of the Rogers/Stepin Fetchit comic pairing in Atlanta.  Time Codes: 0h 01m 00s:      One More Spring [dir.

For RKO 1934, we take an appreciative look at two unloved Katharine Hepburn movies (now, although the public liked them well enough at the time): John Cromwell's Spitfire and Richard Wallace's The Little Minister, based on a novel by J. M. Barrie of Peter Pan fame. Dave suggests an alternate trajectory for Hepburn's 30s box office decline. Elise rambles on about Barrie's tragic and sinister life. We compare Spitfire to Dreyer's Day of Wrath and Henry King's Song of Bernadette; and agree that The Little Minister is one of the great romance movies (with intimations of her Bringing Up Baby performance in the bargain).  Time Codes: 0h 01m 00s:            Katharine Hepburn & Pandro Berman at the Box Office         0h 13m 09s:            Spitfire [dir: John Cromwell] 0h 40m 41s:            The Little Minister [dir: Richard Wallace] +++ * Check out our Complete Upcoming Episode Schedule (now projected into 2023) * Find Elise’s latest film piece on Billy Wilder and 1930s Romantic Comedy *And Read lots of Elise’s Writing at Bright Wall/Dark Room, Cléo, and Bright Lights.* Follow us on Twitter at @therebuggy Write to us at therebuggy@gmail.com Theme Music: “What’s Yr Take on Cassavetes?” – Le Tigre

In this interview, Dallas Cowboys fan Henry King was kind enough to walk me through his nearly finished, thoughtfully converted bus, soon to be home. Henry takes the time to show me every inch of his intelligently utilized space, with hidden storage, an incredible sound system, flight simulator, tub, washer and dryer, queen sized bed… everything he needs and wants in his space to feel at home. He has been working on his bus and gathering the different parts for years, and the final layout looks nicely suited to meet all the needs of a dedicated, creative bachelor who is just about to move into his free wheeling, long term living space. For a visual of Henry's bus, check back for a youtube link to video footage of Henry's bus, taken by Tahj Kjelland, coming soon! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/zahp-the-zootown-affordable-housing-podcast/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/zahp-the-zootown-affordable-housing-podcast/support

Bon dia, és dijous, 24 de setembre, dia de paella als restaurants, dia de mercat a Deltebre i el dia després que ens deixés als 97 anys, la cantant i actriu francesa Juliette Greco. No és exagerat el que diuen alguns diaris avui: “La seva vida ha estat el resum de la música el cinema i la vida intelectual de París durant tota la meitat del segle XX. Considerada “la musa dels existencialistes, sobretot arran de la seva amistat amb Jean Paul Sartre, va conèixer pràcticament tothom qui va tenir alguna responsabilitat artística, filosòfica o creativa en aquell París de la riba esquerra del Sena, després de la segona guerra mundial i, per extensió, va conèixer tothom qui va tenir una certa rellevància en aquell món en reconstrucció del qual nosaltres en som hereus. Miles Davis, el músic de jazz, Picasso, Sartre, Albert Camus, Boris Vian, Anna Marie Cazalis, George Brassens i Jacques Brel, Jacques Prévert, Sergei Gainsbourg, Jean Cocteau, Jean Renoir, Raymond Queneau, i cineastes com John Huston, Henry King o Otto Preminger. Una vida vida desbordant, amb un compromís amb la música i la comunicació amb el públic que no va quedar mai en suspens, ja que era d'aquelles artistes que concebia l'obra i la vida com la mateixa cosa. Juliette Greco s’emporta amb ella una època i, sobretot, una idea d’una època, que va condicionar el món occidental pràcticament fins l’actualitat i que va situar França com a centre cultural mundial i els estàndards de la cultura ben amunt. I cada país, a la seva manera va anar emulant França. Del moviment de la cançó van sorgir els Serrats, Llachs, Montllors, Raimos, Mottes, Felius, Subirats, Humets. El teatre i la filosofia, la fotografia i el videoart. Sempre en lluita, sempre subversiu. Si un dia qualsevol de la nostra època ens aturem un moment i mirem al voltant, haurem de tancar els ulls i escrutar atentament per trobar una resta de cultura original i compromesa, carregada de contingut o de raó. N’hi ha, sobretot per baix dels canals oficials, dels canals mediàtics. La cultura i els mass mèdia són com l’aigua i el foc, quan es mesclen no en queda ni un ni l’altre. I d’això, n’hauríem de ser conscients. Adéu, Juliette Greco, adéu Chanson. Adéu, època. Al programa d'avui hem fet un repàs a l'actualitat amb Leonor Bertomeu, tot seguit hem entrevistat a Jaume Cebolla, autor del documental "Longboard Terres de l'Ebre". A segona hora, hem obert una nova llauna de les Conserves musicals, amb el músic i escriptor de Deltebre, Miquel Àngel Marín i, per acabar el programa, la psicòloga d'Áurea Espai de Psicologia, Carolina Castells, ens ha oert una nova entrega de l'espai L'art d'estimar.

Kristen Henry King shares her wisdom on acting, branding, performing and chasing your dream.

Fox, 1933: we watch a couple of movies that complicate Ethan Mordden's characterization of Fox as “The Rube,” Henry King's State Fair and William (billed as Wilhelm) Dieterle's The Devil's in Love (both beautifully shot by Hal Mohr). The first is a sophisticated movie about simple people that doesn't make fun of them or take unsophistication as its ideal, while the second is Fox's attempt at a Sternberg movie, a Foreign Legion quadrangle with a strange climactic twist. Find out how Fox makes pre-Codes (from farm boys losing their virginity to carefree female carnies to how to take Will Rogers' mind off a hog). Also: an inadvertent Victor Jory double-feature!

Welcome to Blue Valley, Nebraska! We are parking the Waverider and following the story of a promising new hero, Stargirl. Three months ago, Yolanda Montez was the most popular girl in school. She was dating Henry King and had just been elected class president. She was extremely close to her family. When Cindy steals a scandalous picture from Henry's phone and texts it to the entire school, Yolanda and her family are disgraced. Today, she is a social outcast, and her family won't speak to her. She's grounded indefinitely. When Courtney realizes she is a boxer, she approaches Yolanda about taking up the Wildcat mantle. She shares her superhero persona with Yolanda, to win her over, and convinces her to try on the suit. Courtney and Yolanda test out her new powers on a mission to steal the visitor's log from the hospital. While taking dinner to her mom, Beth hears Courtney use Yolanda's name while she climbed up the side of the building.

A provocative discussion about Henry King's Oscar-nominated classic "The Gunfighter," starring Gregory Peck as a retired gunslinger whose notorious reputation follows him everywhere. Why isn't this masterful psychological Western at the top of every fan's list of favorite oaters? Co-hosts Matthew Chernov and Andrew Patrick Nelson tackle the question.

On Cooper's third episode of this world known podcast, he talks to fellow “funny man” Henry King. With jokes to stories and all that Jazz, this episode is definitely the best around! Peace!

It's a bittersweet episode as we bid farewell to our Jennifer Jones series with first viewings of her final two starring-role films, Henry King's TENDER IS THE NIGHT (1962) and Daniel Petrie's THE IDOL (1966). We find our heroine once again playing characters embroiled in dark Freudian psychodramas, and consider how King's film alters F.

This time on our Jennifer Jones ‘cast it's two movies based on novels by Communists, bafflingly made during the early Cold War era, one a failure and one a hit. We start with the failure, the original Dirtbag Left hang-out movie, John Huston's BEAT THE DEVIL (1953). It was based on a novel by Claud Cockburn (one-time Stalin apologist), with script contributions from Cockburn and a hot young novelist named Truman Capote. Then we turn to another critique of colonialism, Henry King's Love Is a Many-Splendored Thing (1955), based on the semi-autobiographical novel by Han Suyin (future Mao apologist).

Join Dave and Elise for episode one of our (near-)complete filmography series on the great Jennifer Jones (née Phylis Isley). We provide a few preliminary thoughts re: our take on the Jones/Selznick synergy and then dive right into the films. Song of Bernadette kicks things off with quite a blessed bang, situating our star at the conceptual vanishing point between the instinctual and the ineffable; while the following year’s Since You Went Away dabbles with domesticating the Jones persona (as a nod to the war effort, y’know), for the first and perhaps the only time.       Time Codes: 0h 1m 00s:       Introduction to Jennifer Jones 0h 16m 15s:     Song of Bernadette (1943) dir.

Puntata interamente dedicata all'ultima edizione del festival bolognese, svoltasi a giugno. Con l'ospite Edoardo Peretti (del sito Mediacritica) vi raccontiamo un po' di quanto abbiamo visto. Peretti si concentra soprattutto sui film della Germania ovest negli anni 1945-1949, tra originali commedie e sguardi a quel che era appena accaduto nel paese. Ma tocchiamo anche alcuni titoli con Jean Gabin, tornando sul suo commissario Maigret; film della Fox tra fine anni 20 e gli anni 30, con capolavori, mezze sorprese e curiosità come un lungometraggio in parte diretto da Erich von Stroheim; western americani anni 50 di Budd Boetticher e Henry King; il noir secondo Felix E. Feist... e altro.

1919 was the year in which Woodrow Wilson commissioned an Inter-Allied investigation from the Paris Peace Conference into the desires of the populations in the former Ottoman Empire. Great Britain and France pulled out of that commission leaving two Americans, Henry King and Charles Crane to lead a quixotic mission to get the borders of Greater Syria right. Their investigation into the desires of the populations in the former Ottoman Empire and the response to that report by the 1st Pan-Syrian Congress in Damascus is the focus of this workshop. The report and its recommendations were embargoed until the 1930s. Held in collaboration with the London Middle East Institute at SOAS, University of London the workshop was chaired by Prof. Dawn Chatty (Oxford University).

In the first official episode of Delicious Word Sandwich, which critics have acclaimed as "Wait, what is it?" and "Get out of my office", Ol' Matty is resurrected by his Librarian Overlords so that they may recover their treasured literary works from his corpse, which had been lost when Ol' Matty climbed Mount Kilimanjaro hoping to ask the snow leopard, as described (dead) in Hemingway's 1936 story, what exactly it was looking for. Apparently, Ol' Matty insisted, the final thoughts are "inscribed on the brain, the delicious, delicious brain". The guy eats books and only sometimes turns them into sandwiches, so I don't know what I expected. Through painstaking analysis and an astounding and worryingly encyclopedic mind filled with the history of Hemingway and his stories, Ol' Matty breaks down the titan of Ernest's short-story work into bread (Background), meat/meat-substitute (Story), cheese (Characters), sauce (Themes) and seasoning (final thoughts/feelings), because he clearly has never heard of vegetables.For his first full-fledged analysis, Ol' Matty thought it best to begin with a short-story, hoping to keep it short and sweet. Short and Sweet, that's what he said. In 1936, "The Snows of Kilimanjaro" was published in Esquire Magazine, and is considered the most artistically triumphant of all of Hemingway's works, many ranking it alongside his acclaimed novels such as "For Whom the Bell Tolls" and "The Old Man and the Sea". This short-story tells the tale of a writer on his death-bed, reflecting on his life and who he has become, plagued more by his rotting regret than the gangrene in his leg. As he waits impatiently for the disappointing sensation of death, he talks with his wife, Helen, whose wealth he blames for corrupting his talent and worth, and passes in and out of consciousness into reverie of story's left untold, some better left as such, the women he's known and the talent he's wasted. In the end, it's a tale of one realising both the purity and the corruption that exists within a soul, among other things. Also, Ol' Matty experimented far too much trying to replicate the taste of gangrene. Love stories? Love hearing about the tales of old with Ol' Matty but want to know them yourself? Want to join the Book Club Sandwich but don't have the time or desire to sit down and read? Well, you nit, check out Audible, where you can drive to your destination and faraway lands all at once. P.S. Audible, please sponsor me. "The Snows of Kilimanjaro and other stories" read by Stacey Keach (AKA Detective Mike Hammer) is available on Audible A film adaptation starring Gregory Peck and directed by Henry King was made in 1952. It does not mirror the story's ending and does about as well as one would expect a film based on a short-story to do. Gregory Peck and Ava Gardner turn in good performances. Until next time, my Quixotes! Tuesday week Ol' Matty and his new best friend, the demon Breaderick, shall return with a metamorphosis and analysis of Sylvia Plath's "The Bell Jar". Ol' Matty doesn't have a literature degree, but he does read a lot: If you want to read more about the best novels of 2018 as according to the New Yorker: https://www.newyorker.com/culture/2018-in-review/the-best-books-of-2018For more about V.S.

Their humble home was nicely settled along the White River in an area that we just talked about the brand new town of Chadron.

He had come far born in Pennsylvania on March 13, 1853, in Bradford County. When in Chadron NE he started a general store known as C.H. King's Mercantile. He was described in his day as being shrewd a true businessman, as a business person why study CH make him one of your own case studies well he was a visionary what today we might say a mover and shaker. He was a visionary -> he saw what others could not as he anticipated the arrival of the Chicago and North Western Railroad network into Chadron and the nearby Wyoming territory. He was constantly thinking of how he could expand his commercial enterprises. He executed on this opportunity by stringing together general stores, lumberyards' banks, wool trading companies, a freight hauling business, and much real estate strategically located where the railroad access insured the founding of future towns and cities in addition to Chadron. By July 25, 1886, Chadron was much in the infancy as an organized community -> it was at this time that President Gerald Ford's biological father Leslie Lynch was born to Charles Henry King and his wife Martha in the town of Chadron Our Fast Pitch sponsored by trustsmarter.com Trusts find trust co info on estate planning Book -> MitchellChadrow.com/books Robert Roy Foresman left a message that he was working on a full-length article and publication on Fannie O'Linn. He said it was nice to see the post about her and podcast he said that he has been researching her for over 10 years, and there is a lot of stories to still share.  I’m going to link to robs other books and when his article and book on Fannie O’Linn published will him on in the meantime I provide a link to him here. He Works for the North Dakota State University northern plains ethics institute Even before Wyoming became a state in 1890 CH would become well known as one of the wealthiest men in Wyoming, At one time he amassed a fortune of $20 million in today’s dollars that is considerable but in 1890 it was huge. By 1900 C.H. King was known as a baron among wool traders and a merchant king in western Nebraska the panhandle As I stated earlier he was an entrepreneurs entrepreneur he was ambitious and eager to seize new opportunities, by 1905 he was moving his business HQs to Omaha. Omaha was known as the eastern terminal of the Union Pacific Railroad, and it also had numerous other roads so it became Omaha's western terminal. CH saw Omaha as a city with a great future. His reputation was both energetic but an honest businessman. As startups, business owners, and entrepreneurs we focus so much on wanting to raise or borrow money for our businesses. CH found it relatively easy to raise large sums of capital for new profitable ventures. For example, In 1908, he had a capital fund of $100,000, and the Omaha Wool and Storage Company was founded with C.H. King as president. His son, Leslie, Sr., also owned stock in the company and was named general manager. This was considered a big business for that time having a huge warehouse, 1200 feet long by 150 feet high, it was totally covered with a corrugated iron roof, and we know real estate is location location location CH was sure that the Union Pacific ran a side track up to the Omaha Wool and Storage Co. loading dock. By 1909 wool was being shipped into Omaha from western Nebraska, Wyoming, Colorado, Montana, Idaho, and South Dakota. Charles Henry was what we call today a serial entrepreneur he was driven to create more successful commercial companies/firms: C.H. King Company - > dealt in wholesale food merchandising.  He was known in Omaha as a premier businessmen he entertained big time at Woolworth Mansion a real luxurious home with its ornately decorated ballroom The C.H. King Company and First National Bank Building, also known as Yellowstone Drug, is one of the oldest buildings in Shoshoni, Wyoming. The building was built for Charles Henry King in 1905–1906. King was a central Wyoming businessman who established a lumber business in the building. King is otherwise notable as the biological grandfather of U.S. president Gerald R. Ford. The First National Bank of Shoshoni was also located in the building Our wrap up round sponsored by startupssmarter.com You need help starting up a business from forms to set up your business to getting online with a website my listeners who go over to startupssmarter.com/Mitchell signup will get a free one-page website By signing up get guides articles and information President Ford's biological parents: Leslie Lynch King, Sr. and Dorothy Ayer Gardner marry in Harvard, Illinois. (near Chicago) on September 1912 Their son, president Ford born with the name biological father Leslie King Jr. was born eleven months later in 1913. However, The marriage of Dorothy and Leslie, Sr. lasted only about five months longer. On December 19, 1913, Dorothy obtained a divorce from her husband on the grounds of "extreme cruelty" and was given "sole custody" of their an only child, Leslie, Jr. While Ford's biological father was granted visitation rights Leslie, King Sr. was also ordered by the court to pay alimony attorney fees; and child support Leslie, Jr. or Ford attained his majority at age twenty-one game I will be doing an upcoming show on president Gerald Ford and I will explore several deeper personal questions not covered in this podcast How did all this impact CH in business -> Tremendously! I found myself asking - > Why would such a successful driven gregarious prominent businessman decide to just pick up and leave Omaha at a time when he was at the top of his business game Was it his personal life this tangled tale of President Gerald Fords biological parents divorce which by the way didn’t merely end with a judicial judgment of divorce alimony and child support payment decree. Charles Henry King was a maverick in business but his personal issues due to his son the president's biological father had a tremendous impact on his business these family issues caused CH to become sidetracked that story is so powerful - I will explore all of this on an upcoming show about President Gerald Ford.

El Trío Matamoros estuvo varias veces en Nueva York. Entre su primer viaje de 1928 y los realizados hasta 1937, los grupos que dirigía Miguel Matamoros grabaron decenas de números. En 1934, registraron una pieza donde el trío se manifestaba en contra de una supuesta moda que pretendía extender el nudismo en la isla de Cuba. Aquel año del 34 el trío también dejó para la posteridad el número La cocainómana, pieza que ha sonado en el programa. Miguel Matamoros era del popular barrio de Los Hoyos, en Santiago de Cuba, donde nació en 1894, concretamente el 8 de mayo, día en que también se reunió por vez primera el trío, para celebrar su cumpleaños de 1925. Este gran sonero, completamente autodidacta en la música, poseía extraordinarias cualidades como cantante. Por otra parte, su personal rayado en la guitarra se completaba con el tumbao de Cueto en los bajos de la suya. El día 15 de abril se cumplió un nuevo aniversario del fallecimiento, en su ciudad natal, Santiago de Cuba, del fundador de este trío. El pianista Tony Sala tuvo que esperar a su jubilación para hacer su primer disco. Nacido en La Habana, en 1935, a los 17 años finalizó sus estudios de piano en el Conservatorio Carlos Alfredo Peyrellade de La Habana. En 1958 se graduó como contable en la Universidad de Villanueva, también en La Habana, entonces sucursal o franquicia de la Villanova University de Pennsylvania, USA. En 1961, Tony Sala, como otros miles de cubanos, se fue de Cuba y fijó su residencia en Philadelphia, donde se ganó la vida como contable y como ejecutivo de diferentes empresas en la zona metropolitana de la ciudad mencionada. A partir del año 2003, disfrutando ya de su jubilación, este pianista y ejecutivo empresarial cubano se dedica completamente a la música. Arsenio Rodríguez viajó el año 1947 a Estados Unidos para revisarse los ojos con la esperanza de recobrar la vista que había perdido en la adolescencia. Durante el trayecto entre La Habana y Nueva York, los dos hermanos, puesto que siempre le acompañaba su hermano Raúl, tuvieron que hacer escala también en Tampa, en donde se supone sólo estarían unas horas. Pero, para su sorpresa, fueron obligados a quedarse por una semana porque parece ser que en los papeles de Raúl había un problema con el visado. Mientras se resolvía este inconveniente, los hermanos Travieso Scull, cuales eran sus apellidos, se hospedaron en un hotel sito en un barrio donde residían otros cubanos. Fue entonces cuando Arsenio Rodríguez compuso Pasó en Tampa.Cuenta la musicóloga cubana Rosa Marquetti, en un artículo titulado Sexteto Habanero: el debut cinematográfico del son? publicado en su blog, que todo parece indicar que el género del son hizo su debut en el cine en la película del año 1929, Hell Harbour, cinta del maestro Henry King. Hasta cuatro canciones de Ernesto Lecuona, interpretadas por el Sexteto y Septeto Habanero, forman parte de la banda sonora de Hell Harbour. Los Troveros de Asieta nacieron en 1991, siendo inicialmente un cuartero. Su objetivo musical se centraba en la recogida y en el rescate de la música tradicional, para centrarse en los ritmos y los cantes de “ida y vuelta”, es decir, aquellos que fueron surgiendo en las Islas Canarias como consecuencia de la emigración. Los Troveros de Asieta creó hace dos años el espectáculo “Querida Cuba”, con el que celebraban sus primeros 25 años en la música.

"The Gunfighter" tells the tale of Jimmy Ringo and his final days as he searches for a way out of his life as a “gunny”, a big time gunfighter. He tries to connect with his estranged wife and a son that doesn’t even know that the famous Jimmy Ringo is his father. Excellent dialog, fantastic music, and top notch acting all directed by Henry King. There’s a lot to like in the movie and the sense of doom prevailing in the film is totally appropriate given the dramatic ending. Starring Gregory Peck, Helen Westcott, Millard Mitchell, Jean Parker and a very young looking Karl Malden, Bob and I highly recommend this Shakespearian tragedy/western/noir film.

A Twelve O'Clock High (Szárnyaló bátorság) című 1949-es filmmel tovább ismerkedünk a The Last Jedi-t ihlető művekkel. A II. világháborús dráma egyike az első filmeknek, amelyek szembenéznek a katonákat ért pszichológiai traumával, de megnézni is ennyire megterhelő a filmet? Az első Gregory Peck-filmünkben beszélünk a híres színész meghökkentő pályafutásáról, valamint arról a humanizmusáról, amely a Twelve O'Clock High-ban is átszűrődik. De hogy fér meg e mellett a humanizmus mellett egyfajta nihilizmus? Jó-e, ha egy háborús film spórol a csatajelenetekkel? Megfeleltethetőek-e a bombázószázad tisztjei a Star Wars lázadóival? Még az is kiderül, honnan van Andrásnak saját, különbejáratú Peck-relikviája. Linkek A Vakfolt podcast Facebook oldala A Vakfolt podcast a Twitteren Vakfolt címke a Letterboxdon (immár listákkal!)

Im Weihnachtsspecial wollen wir uns irgendwie mit STAR WARS beschäftigen, und dank THE LAST JEDI-Regisseur Rian Johnsons Liste an Inspirationen finden wir dadurch einen sehr cleveren, ausgezeichnet geschriebenen und gespielten Film: TWELVE O'CLOCK HIGH (Der Kommandeur) von Henry King aus dem Jahre 1949. Die Mischung aus Psychodrama und Kriegsfilm stellt die Frage, ob selbst Generäle und kernige Staffel-Führer den männlichen Idealen des Kriegers und des von Gefühlen für seine Truppe abgehobenen Anführers gerecht werden können. Wir reden vor allem über den Film selbst, mit besonderem Augenmerk auf eine Kriegsszene, die ganz bewusst echte Wochenschau-Aufnahmen aus dem Dogfight mit gespielten Elementen verwebt.

On this week's Force Material podcast, we're going back to Rian Johnson's film camp to break down how Twelve O'Clock High could influence The Last Jedi!The 1949 film, directed by Henry King, tells the story of a US Bomber unit stationed in England during the darkest days of World War II.Gregory Peck, as Brigadier General Frank Savage, is tasked with getting "maximum effort" out of the unit's pilots, and leads them on increasingly daring raids — at no small cost to his own health.Twelve O'Clock High was one of six films that director Rian Johnson required the cast and crew of The Last Jedi to watch as part of his 'film camp' before production began. Johnson told Empire that Twelve O'Clock High was "a big touchstone" for The Last Jedi, "for the feel and look of the aerial combat, as well as the dynamic between the pilots".This week, as we count down to the release of The Last Jedi, Baz and I watch Twelve O'Clock High to dissect how its pioneering depiction of post-traumatic stress disorder could influence what happens next to Poe Dameron, Paige Tico and the rest of Black Squadron!

The Deaths of Henry King (Uncivilized Books) In The Deaths of Henry King, the hapless Henry King, as advertised, dies. Not just once or even twice, but seven dozen times, each death making way for a new demise, moving from the comic to the grim to the absurd to the transcendent and back again. With text by Jesse Ball and Brian Evenson complimented by Lilli Carre's macabre, gravestone-rubbing-style art, Henry King's ends are brought to a vividly absurd life. Praise for The Deaths of Henry King “This unique experience of the macabre blends in plenty of humor; indeed, readers will laugh at Henry as he watches himself get beaten to death, perish trying to scream in space, be eaten by a bear, or focus so hard on avoiding an open manhole that he gets hit by a car.”—Publishers Weekly Praise for Brian Evenson:“Brian Evenson is one of the treasures of American story writing, a true successor both to the generation of Coover, Barthelme, Hawkes and Co., but also to Edgar Allan Poe.”—Jonathan Lethem Praise for Jesse Ball’s A Cure for Suicide:“Spellbinding . . . [Has] the simplicity of a fable and the drama of a psychological thriller.”—The New York Times Book Review Praise for Lilli Carré:“Lilli Carré’s work most piquantly recalls the great avant-garde narrative films, from Menilmontant (1926) to The Saddest Music in the World (2003). Her Wanda Gág–meets–Gene Deitch drawing style and new-weirdness literary bent make her work acutely interesting to both read and scrutinize.”—Ray Olson, Booklist Brian Evenson is the author of a dozen books of fiction, most recently the story collection A Collapse of Horses and the novella The Warren. His novel Last Days won the ALA’s RUSA award for Best Horror Novel of 2009. His novel The Open Curtain was a finalist for an Edgar Award and an International Horror Guild Award.  He lives in Los Angeles, and teaches at CalArts. Jesse Ball (1978-).  Born in New York. His prizewinning works of absurdity are beloved in a dozen languages. Lilli Carré is an artist living in Los Angeles. She has created several books of comics, including Heads or Tails (Fantagraphics) and the children’s book Tippy and the Night Parade (Toon Books). Her comics and illustration work has appeared in the New Yorker, the New York Times, and Best American Comics.

This week on StoryWeb: Mary Chesnut’s Civil War. In her book on the American Civil War, Mary Boykin Chesnut, the wife of a Confederate general, describes a woman seeking a pardon for her husband: “She was strong, and her way of telling her story was hard and cold enough. She told it simply, but over and over again, with slight variations as to words – never as to facts. She seemed afraid we would forget.” This passage is but one of many in the book that signals Chesnut’s desire to tell the story of the South during the Civil War. She wants to document history so that her readers won’t forget. At the same time, she wants to record more than just the facts of history, by telling her story over and over again artfully. Thirty years ago, I first encountered Chesnut’s writing and fell in love (total love!) with her firsthand, play-by-play accounts of the Civil War. Chesnut lived in or visited various locations throughout the South, most notably Montgomery, Alabama, Columbia, South Carolina, and Richmond, Virginia, where she came into regular contact with the Jefferson Davises and the Robert E. Lees. In every location, she opened her home to others as a social gathering place. Visiting did not end for Chesnut and the other gentile Southern ladies of her community, but now their conversations turned to war. It was widely known throughout the community that Chesnut kept a detailed diary about her society’s comings and goings and the ladies’ conversations. Because she had had a ringside seat to the Confederacy, friends pressed her to publish the diary after the war. From 1881 to 1884, she worked on a version for publication. She deleted and moved sections, added dialogue and other novel-like detail to create a hybrid of diary, memoir, autobiography, and even to some extent, novel. She wove together accounts of her own experiences with stories that others have told her and created an anthology of anecdotes about members of the Confederate society, a crazy quilt of Civil War lore. Chesnut writes, “History reveals men’s deeds – their outward characters but not themselves. There is a secret self that hath its own life ‘rounded by a dream’ – unpenetrated, unguessed.” What she attempted to give us in her revision was the “unpenetrated, unguessed” “secret self” of the women in the Confederacy. To be sure, her diary gives us an intimate glimpse into the history of the day – the official, public activities of the men of the Confederacy – but it also brings to vivid life the stories and concerns of the women of the Confederacy. Her revised diary is filled with hundreds of pages of women’s talk, gossip, and conversation, suggesting that to understand the true story of the Confederacy one need only listen more attentively to women’s voices. Unfortunately, when Chesnut died in 1886, her manuscript was unfinished. A heavily edited and abridged version was published in 1905 as A Diary from Dixie. Gone are the scenes, the dialogue, much of the story Chesnut tried to bring to life in her 1880s revision. Fast forward to 1981. Eminent Southern historian C. Vann Woodward decided to resurrect the original diaries, creating the Pulitzer-Prize-winning volume, Mary Chesnut’s Civil War. This book is, quite simply, amazing – long and rambling but amazing! Woodward has been praised for meticulously bringing to life an historical account that otherwise would have been lost. He has also been criticized for not honoring Chesnut’s authorial intent. Though I have some misgivings about Woodward’s decision to reinsert passages Chesnut clearly meant to cut, I nevertheless love the more thorough eavesdropping I get to do when reading his version. Suffice it to say, if you want a gripping account of the Civil War from the perspective of the Confederacy, read Mary Chesnut. If you want to learn more about the ideal of the “Southern lady” (the white upper-class Southern lady on her pedestal), read Mary Chesnut. And if you just plain want to listen in on other people’s conversations, read Mary Chesnut. Should you read A Diary from Dixie or Mary Chesnut’s Civil War? Despite my quibbles with Woodward’s editing, I’d recommend reading his version. It’s full, lively, dynamic – and if you are a Civil War buff or a fan of Southern history, you’ll be in heaven! Stay tuned next week for another take on the Civil War, this one also from a woman’s perspective. Laird Hunt’s novel Neverhome features an Indiana woman who disguises herself as a soldier and fights for the Union Army. Listen now as I read Mary Boykin Chesnut’s diary entries from April 1861. These excerpts – which describe the beginning of the Civil War when the Confederates fired on Fort Sumter in South Carolina – are taken from Mary Chesnut’s Civil War (edited by C. Vann Woodward and published in 1981). --- April 12, 1861. Anderson will not capitulate. --- Yesterday was the merriest, maddest dinner we have had yet. Men were more audaciously wise and witty. We had an unspoken foreboding it was to be our last pleasant meeting. Mr. Miles dined with us today. Mrs. Henry King rushed in: “The news, I come for the latest news – all of the men of the King family are on the island” – of which fact she seemed proud. While she was here, our peace negotiator – or envoy – came in. That is, Mr. Chesnut returned – his interview with Colonel Anderson had been deeply interesting – but was not inclined to be communicative, wanted his dinner. Felt for Anderson. Had telegraphed to President Davis for instructions. What answer to give Anderson, etc. He has gone back to Fort Sumter, with additional instructions. When they were about to leave the wharf, A.H. Boykin sprang into the boat, in great excitement; thought himself ill-used. A likelihood of fighting – and he to be left behind! --- I do not pretend to go to sleep. How can I? If Anderson does not accept terms – at four – the orders are – he shall be fired upon. I count four – St. Michael chimes. I begin to hope. At half-past four, the heavy booming of a cannon. I sprang out of bed. And on my knees – prostrate – I prayed as I never prayed before. There was a sound of stir all over the house – pattering of feet in the corridor – all seemed hurrying one way. I put on my double gown and a shawl and went, too. It was to the housetop. The shells were bursting. In the dark I heard a man say “waste of ammunition.” I knew my husband was rowing about in a boat somewhere in that dark bay. And that the shells were roofing it over – bursting toward the fort. If Anderson was obstinate – he was to order the forts on our side to open fire. Certainly fire had begun. The regular roar of the cannon – there it was. And who could tell what each volley accomplished of death and destruction. The women were wild, there on the housetop. Prayers from the women and imprecations from the men, and then a shell would light up the scene. Tonight, they say, the forces are to attempt to land. The Harriet Lane had her wheelhouse smashed and put back to sea. --- We watched up there – everybody wondered. Fort Sumter did not fire a shot. --- Today Miles and Manning, colonels now – aides to Beauregard – dined with us. The latter hoped I would keep the peace. I give him only good words, for herwas to be under fire all day and night, in the bay carrying orders, etc. Last night – or this morning truly – up on the housetop I was so weak and weary I sat down on something that looked like a black stool. “Get up, you foolish woman – your dress is on fire,” cried a man. And he put me out. It was a chimney, and the sparks caught my clothes. Susan Preston and Mr. Venable then came up. But my fire had been extinguished before it broke out into a regular blaze. --- Do you know, after all that noise and our tears and prayers, nobody has been hurt. Sound and fury, signifying nothing. A delusion and a snare. Louisa Hamilton comes here now. This is a sort of news center. Jack Hamilton, her handsome young husband, has all the credit of a famous battery which is made of RR iron. Mr. Petigru calls it the boomerang because it throws the balls back the way they came – so Lou Hamilton tells us. She had no children during her first marriage. Hence the value of this lately achieved baby. To divert Louisa from the glories of “the battery,” of which she raves, we asked if the baby could talk yet. “No – not exactly – but he imitates the big gun. When he hears that, he claps his hands and cries ‘Boom boom.’” Her mind is distinctly occupied by three things – Lieutenant Hamilton, whom she calls Randolph, the baby, and “the big gun” – and it refuses to hold more. Pryor of Virginia spoke from the piazza of the Charleston Hotel. I asked what he said, irreverent woman. “Oh, they all say the same thing, but he made great play with that long hair of his, which is always tossing aside.” --- Somebody came in just now and reported Colonel Chesnut asleep on the sofa in General Beauregard’s room. After two such nights he must be so tired as to be able to sleep anywhere. --- Just bade farewell to Langdon Cheves. He is forced to go home, to leave this interesting place. Says he feels like the man who was not killed at Thermopylae. I think he said that unfortunate had to hang himself when he got home for very shame. Maybe fell on his sword, which was a strictly classic way of ending matters. --- I do not wonder at Louisa Hamilton’s baby. We hear nothing, can listen to nothing. Boom, boom, goes the cannon – all the time. The nervous strain is awful, alone in this darkened room. “Richmond and Washington ablaze,” say the papers. Blazing with excitement. Why not? To use these last days’ events seem frightfully great. We were all in that iron balcony. Women – men we only see at a distance now. Stark Means, marching under the piazza at the head of his regiment, held his cap in his hand all the time he was in sight. Mrs. Means leaning over, looking with tearful eyes. “Why did he take his hat off?” said an unknown creature. Mrs. Means stood straight up. “He did that in honor of his mother – he saw me.” She is a proud mother – and at the same time most unhappy. Her lovely daughter Emma is dying in there, before her eyes – consumption. At that moment I am sure Mrs. Means had a spasm of the heart. At least, she looked as I feel sometimes. She took my arm, and we came in. --- April 13, 1861. Nobody hurt, after all. How gay we were last night. Reaction after the dread of all the slaughter we thought those dreadful cannons were making such a noise in doing. Not even a battery the worse for wear. Fort Sumter has been on fire. He has not yet silenced any of our guns. So the aides – still with swords and red sashes by way of uniform – tell us. But the sound of those guns makes regular meals impossible. None of us go to table. But tea trays pervade the corridors, going everywhere. Some of the anxious hearts lie on their beds and moan in solitary misery. Mrs. Wigfall and I solace ourselves with tea in my room. These women have all a satisfying faith. “God is on our side,” they cry. When we are shut in, we (Mrs. Wigfall and I) ask, “Why?” We are told: “Of course He hates the Yankees.” “You’ll think that well of Him.” Not by one word or look can we detect any change in the demeanor of these negro servants. Laurence sits at our door, as sleepy and as respectful and as profoundly indifferent. So are they all. They carry it too far. You could not tell that they hear even the awful row that is going on in the bay, though it is dinning in their ears night and day. And people talk before them as if they were chairs and tables. And they make no sign. Are they stolidly stupid or wiser than we are, silent and strong, biding their time? So tea and toast come. Also came Colonel Manning, A.D.C. – red sash and sword – to announce that he has been under fire and didn’t mind. He said gaily, “It is one of those things – a fellow never knows how he will come out of it until he is tried. Now I know. I am a worthy descendant of my old Irish hero of an ancestor who held the British officer before him as a shield in the Revolution. And backed out of danger gracefully.” Everybody laughs at John Manning’s brag. We talked of St. Valentine’s Eve; or, The Maid of Perth and the drop of the white doe’s blood that sometimes spoiled all. The war steamers are still there, outside the bar. And there were people who thought the Charleston bar “no good” to Charleston. The bar is our silent partner, sleeping partner, and yet in this fray he is doing us yeoman service. April 15, 1861. I did not know that one could live such days of excitement. They called, “Come out – there is a crowd coming.” A mob indeed, but it was headed by Colonels Chesnut and Manning. The crowd was shouting and showing these two as messengers of good news. They were escorted to Beauregard’s headquarters. Fort Sumter had surrendered. Those up on the housetop shouted to us, “The fort is on fire.” That had been the story once or twice before. --- When we had calmed down, Colonel Chesnut, who had taken it all quietly enough – if anything, more unruffled than usual in his serenity – told us how the surrender came about. Wigfall was with them on Morris Island when he saw the fire in the fort, jumped in a little boat and, with his handkerchief as a white flag, rowed over to Fort Sumter. Wigfall went in through a porthole. When Colonel Chesnut arrived shortly after and was received by the regular entrance, Colonel Anderson told him he had need to pick his way warily, for it was all mined. As far as I can make out, the fort surrendered to Wigfall. But it is all confusion. Our flag is flying there. Fire engines have been sent to put out the fire. Everybody tells you half of something and then rushes off to tell something else or to hear the last news. Manning, Wigfall, John Preston, etc., men without limit, beset us at night. In the afternoon, Mrs. Preston, Mrs. Joe Heyward, and I drove round the Battery. We were in an open carriage. What a changed scene. The very liveliest crowd I think I ever saw. Everybody talking at once. All glasses still turned on the grim old fort. Saw William Gilmore Simms, and did not recognize him in his white beard. Trescot is here with his glasses on top of the house. --- Russell, the English reporter for the Times, was there. They took him everywhere. One man got up Thackeray, to converse with him on equal terms. Poor Russell was awfully bored, they say. He only wanted to see the forts, etc., and news that was suitable to make an interesting article. Thackeray was stale news over the water. --- Mrs. Frank Hampton and I went to see the camp of the Richland troops. South Carolina had volunteered to a boy. Professor Venable (The Mathematical) intends to raise a company from among them for the war, a permanent company. This is a grand frolic. No more. For the students, at least. Even the staid and severe-of-aspect Clingman is here. He says Virginia and North Carolina are arming to come to our rescue – for now U.S.A. will swoop down on us. Of that we may be sure. We have burned our ships – we are obliged to go on now. He calls us a poor little hot-headed, headlong, rash, and troublesome sister state. General McQueen is in a rage because we are to send troops to Virginia. There is a frightful yellow flag story. A distinguished potentate and militia power looked out upon the bloody field of battle, happening to stand always under the waving of the hospital flag. To his numerous other titles they now add Y.F. Preston Hampton in all the flush of his youth and beauty, his six feet in stature – and after all, only in his teens – appeared in lemon-colored kid gloves to grace the scene. The camp, in a fit of horseplay, seized him and rubbed them in the mud. He fought manfully but took it all naturally as a good joke. Mrs. Frank Hampton knows already what civil war means. Her brother was in the New York Seventh Regiment, so roughly received in Baltimore. Frank will be in the opposite camp. --- [No date.] Home again. In those last days of my stay in Charleston I did not find time to write a line. And so we took Fort Sumter. We – Mrs. Frank Hampton etc., in the passageway of the Mills House between the reception room and the drawing room. There we held a sofa against all comers. And indeed, all the agreeable people South seemed to have flocked to Charleston at the first gun. That was after we found out that bombarding did not kill anybody. Before that we wept and prayed – and took our tea in groups, in our rooms, away from the haunts of men. Captain Ingraham and his kind took it (Fort Sumter) from the battery with field glasses and figures made with three sticks in the sand to show what ought to be done. Wigfall, Chesnut, Miles, Manning, etc., took it, rowing about in the harbor in small boats, from fort to fort, under the enemies’ guns, bombs bursting in air, etc. And then the boys and men who worked those guns so faithfully at the forts. They took it, too – their way. Old Col. Beaufort Watts told me this story and many more of the jeunesse dorée under fire. They took it easily as they do most things. They had cotton-bag bombproofs at Fort Moultrie, and when Anderson’s shot knocked them about, someone called out, “Cotton is falling.” Down went the kitchen chimney, and loaves of bread flew out. They cheered gaily, “Breadstuffs are rising.” Willie Preston fired the shot which broke Anderson’s flagstaff. Mrs. Hampton, from Columbia, telegraphed him, “Well done, Willie!” She is his grandmother, the wife or widow of General Hampton of the Revolution, and the mildest, sweetest, gentlest of old ladies. It shows how the war is waking us all up.    

Special Guest: Singer, Model, and Actress Kristen Henry King  (http://kristenhenryking.com) - Kristen battles with Multiple Sclerosis. She was inspired to write the song IMPERVIOUS chronicling her experience with MS.. listen to the song here on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ScJit0ET-pw Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a potentially disabling disease of the brain and spinal cord (central nervous system). In MS, the immune system attacks the protective sheath (myelin) that covers nerve fibers and causes communication problems between your brain and the rest of your body.  Signs and symptoms of MS vary widely and depend on the amount of nerve damage and which nerves are affected. Some people with severe MS may lose the ability to walk independently or at all, while others may experience long periods of remission without any new symptoms. There's no cure for multiple sclerosis. However, treatments can help speed recovery from attacks, modify the course of the disease and manage symptoms.

Differing opinions, arguments and some notable complaints emerge (including the Showtime production budget and the limitations it may have placed on the film) during Infinite Gestation's discussion of Last Call, a made-for-cable biopic from 2002 concerning the final years of F. Scott Fitzgerald. This is not the "old sport" you know and love. Far from the Jazz Age, a weather-worn and alcoholic Fitzgerald (a fine performance by Jeremy Irons) resides on the fringes of Hollywood, writing The Last Tycoon between hallucinations of his (then institutionalized) wife Zelda and spats with his mistress, Hollywood gossip columnist Sheilah Graham. The author manages some progress on his novel with the assistance of his secretary Frances Kroll (whose 1985 memoir Against the Current: As I Remember F. Scott Fitzgerald serves as a basis for the film) before his sudden (though perhaps not unexpected) death at the age of 44.

“Les neiges du Kilimandjaro” (Las nieves del Kilimanjaro) es el título de una película del año 2011, dirigida por el francés Robert Guédiguian. La coincidencia con el relato de Ernest Hemingway y su posterior adaptación a la pantalla en 1952 dirigida por Henry King, es sólo el título. El protagonista, Michel, es un líder sindical del puerto que en medio de la crisis ha colaborado para encontrar una salida colectiva de los trabajadores para evitar el cierre de la empresa. Michel es un hombre honrado y con un profundo sentimiento de clase, enfrentado a una jubilación temprana que principio no parece traumática. Un suceso brutal y traumático va a alterar la vida y la percepción sobre las personas y las cosas de este hombre y de su esposa, gente con sentimiento de afirmación en la vida y que estaban punto de hacer el soñado viaje a África que les han regalado sus hijos y sus amigos. Para rodar “Las nieves del Kilimanjaro” Guédiguian, se inspira en un poema de Víctor Hugo, “Les pauvres gens” (La gente pobre), filmando una historia que nos enseña algunas cosas sobre cómo es la sociedad europea contemporánea. Entrevistamos a José Pérez López, crítico de cine, responsable de la página web Nosolocine.net (España). También a Ignacio Javier Lucero, el andinista mendocino que sobrevivió a un infarto y un ACV en la cordillera del Himalaya en 2011. Escaló hace poco más de un mes la montaña más alta de África, el Kilimanjaro. Llegó hasta 5.500 metros sobre el nivel del mar, a sólo 300 metros de la cumbre.

King read by Classic Poetry Aloud: http://www.classicpoetryaloud.com/ Giving voice to the poetry of the past. --------------------------------------------- A Contemplation upon Flowers by Henry King, Bishop of Chichester (1592 – 1669) Brave flowers—that I could gallant it like you, And be as little vain! You come abroad, and make a harmless show, And to your beds of earth again. You are not proud: you know your birth: For your embroider'd garments are from earth. You do obey your months and times, but I Would have it ever Spring: My fate would know no Winter, never die, Nor think of such a thing. O that I could my bed of earth but view And smile, and look as cheerfully as you! O teach me to see Death and not to fear, But rather to take truce! How often have I seen you at a bier, And there look fresh and spruce! You fragrant flowers! then teach me, that my breath Like yours may sweeten and perfume my death.
