Podcast appearances and mentions of Jackie Coogan

Tread Perilously's WandaVision month continues with an episode The Brady Bunch called "The Winner." When Cindy comes home with a trophy for winning a jacks tournament at the park, Bobby laments that he is the only member of the family to lack an award. Talking it over with Mike and Carol, he resolves to win at something. Anything. It soon leads to strife with the other kids as he becomes an increasingly sore loser. But will the Kartoon King offer him the chance to be the right sort of winner? And will Bobby learn the true value of competition without Mike lecturing on the topic? Justin finally watches his first true episode of The Brady Bunch and is amazed to see Mike without a perm. He also determines the series' premise. Jackie Coogan's Disease gets a new awareness advocate. Ann B. Davis is honored, even if she is mistaken for another actor. Gary Cole is celebrated for his contributions to Brady lore. Geography Corner somehow summons 7th Heaven. The pair recast Thomas Magnum for some reason. Robert Reed's feelings about the show are discussed. Carol's hatred of a certain word becomes a centerpiece of the story and Greg gets drafted into a company of notable TV veterans. Also: the "wholesomeness" of The Brady Bunch leads in strange directions.

When family stories become show biz stories, the world listens. Fitting that very bill we've got actor Keith Coogan, the grandson of the original child star, Jackie Coogan, whose namesake law in the state of California, is the first to safeguard the rights of young performers in Hollywood. Keith talks about growing up with this legend plus his own iconic roles as a prolific film and TV child actor!Keith's career proves that show business blood runs thick: He told his mother he wanted to act before he even knew of his family legacy. His great grandfather, Jack Coogan Sr. was a Vaudeville and silent film star. His grandfather, Jackie Coogan was known, in the 1920s as, “the most famous boy in the world!” Keith began booking roles by the age of eight and quickly became a go-to casting choice, for TV guest spots and commercials starring Henry Fonda and Robert Morse.Keith's show biz success made his grandfather proud but a little jealous and relieved when Keith developed into a working actor rather than America's darling.Keith tells us about the legendary events, which led to The Coogan Act - After Jackie's father died in a car crash, the young superstar's hard earned fortune was squandered by his stepfather.Passed in 1939, The Coogan Law requires that a portion of a child's earnings be placed in a blocked trust account until the child turns 18.Keith recalls with great fondness his experiences working with stellar casts and crews on the “Babysitter” cult greats, 'Adventures in Babysitting', and Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter's Dead. Plus Toy Soldiers, The Waltons and The Fox and The Hound.We play IMDB Roulette and get into Laverne and Shirley, Mork and Mindy, and Little House!In recommendations-- Weezy: Netflix series, North of NorthFritz: Book, How Democracies Die by Daniel Ziblatt and Steven LevitskyPath Points of Interest:Keith Coogan Keith Coogan on WikipediaKeith Coogan on IMDBKeith Coogan on InstagramKeith Coogan on XKeith Coogan on YouTubeKeith Coogan on FacebookKeith Coogan MerchNorth of NorthHow Democracies Die by Daniel Ziblatt and Steven LevitskyMedia Path Podcast

Charlie Chaplin's The Kid represents the 3rd-oldest movie we've ever reviewed, but it continues to be an accessible story 104 years later. Chaplin adopts Jackie Coogan and they live a life of squalor---and also chicanery---but they ARE happy together. There's genuine affection between these two actors. Coogan's performance was a landmark for child actors while Chaplin was, as always, a comic virtuoso. He's responsible for 6 jobs in one movie, which was typical for him. The biggest bugaboo is that Chaplin's film is more touching than it is funny. Just look at that kid plead for his "dad"! In any case, episode #640 of Have You Ever Seen is another Ryan monologue, so devour one man's thoughts about The Kid. Check out our sponsor's website: "sparkplug.coffee/hyes".

La loi Cooganprotège les enfants stars de cinéma et de télévision en veillant à ce qu'une partie de leurs revenus soit préservée pour leur avenir. Elle a été établie en 1939en Californie, après un cas tristement célèbre impliquant l'enfant acteur Jackie Coogan, qui avait gagné des millions de dollars dans les années 1920, mais s'est retrouvé sans argent à l'âge adulte. 1. Origine de la loi Coogan Jackie Coogan est devenu une star mondiale après avoir joué aux côtés de Charlie Chaplin dans le film "The Kid"(1921). En tant qu'enfant acteur, il a accumulé une fortune grâce à ses rôles et à ses apparitions publiques. Cependant, lorsque Coogan a atteint l'âge adulte, il a découvert que presque tout son argent avait été dépensé par sa mère et son beau-père, qui géraient ses finances. À l'époque, il n'existait aucune loi obligeant les parents à mettre de l'argent de côté pour leurs enfants stars. Après avoir intenté un procès et récupéré une petite partie de sa fortune, l'affaire Coogan a suscité une vive réaction du public, entraînant l'élaboration de la loi Cooganpour protéger les jeunes acteurs. 2. Principes de la loi Coogan La loi Coogan impose que 15 % des revenusd'un enfant acteur soient placés dans un compte bloqué, appelé le "Coogan Trust"ou "Coogan Account", auquel seul l'enfant aura accès lorsqu'il atteindra l'âge de la majorité (généralement 18 ans). Ce mécanisme vise à garantir qu'une part des revenus de l'enfant lui sera conservée et qu'il ne se retrouvera pas sans ressources une fois sa carrière enfantine terminée. La loi exige également que les conditions de travaildes enfants stars soient régulées, notamment en ce qui concerne les heures de travail, la présence d'un tuteur sur le plateau, et des pauses pour les études. Ces mesures visent à protéger leur santé physique et mentale, et à s'assurer que leur éducation ne soit pas compromise par leur carrière artistique. En France, Les revenus des enfants stars en France sont également protégés pour garantir qu'ils puissent bénéficier de leur travail une fois majeurs. La loi n° 2015-177 du 16 février 2015 impose que les employeurs versent une part significative des gains de l'enfant (généralement 90 % du salaire net) dans un compte bloqué, géré par la Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations. Ce compte est accessible uniquement par l'enfant lorsqu'il atteint sa majorité, c'est-à-dire à 18 ans. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

La "hauteur de vanité"d'un immeuble est un terme informel utilisé pour décrire la partie supérieure d'un bâtiment, souvent une extension architecturaleou une structure décorative qui n'ajoute pas d'espace utilisable, mais qui augmente artificiellement la hauteur totale de l'édifice. Cette hauteur est destinée à donner à l'immeuble un aspect plus imposant et à atteindre un statut de prestigeen le faisant paraître plus grand qu'il ne l'est réellement en termes d'espaces habitables. 1. Fonction de la hauteur de vanité La hauteur de vanité est couramment utilisée pour rehausser le profil visueld'un immeuble, notamment dans les gratte-ciel. Dans les villes où la hauteur des bâtiments est une mesure de prestige et de reconnaissance (par exemple, New York, Dubaï, ou Shanghai), les promoteurs immobiliers et les architectes peuvent ajouter des structures non fonctionnelles au sommet du bâtiment pour augmenter la hauteur totale déclarée. Cela permet de classer l'immeuble parmi les plus hauts, même si une partie de cette hauteur ne contribue pas aux espaces fonctionnels. 2. Exemples de hauteurs de vanité - Flèches et couronnes: Il est fréquent que des gratte-ciel aient des flèches décoratives au sommet, qui n'ont aucune utilité pour les occupants mais qui ajoutent des dizaines, voire des centaines de mètres à la hauteur totale. Par exemple, le Burj Khalifaà Dubaï inclut une flèche qui fait partie de sa hauteur déclarée, mais qui n'est pas accessible aux personnes. - Toits pointus ou pyramides: Certains bâtiments intègrent des structures pyramidales ou des toits en pointe, qui donnent l'illusion d'une hauteur plus grande sans ajouter d'espace utilisable. - Antennes et mâts: Bien que les antennes puissent parfois être fonctionnelles, elles sont souvent ajoutées dans un but esthétique ou symbolique, tout en contribuant à l'élévation de l'immeuble. 3. Critiques et débats autour de la hauteur de vanité La hauteur de vanité est parfois critiquée dans le domaine de l'architecture, car elle peut être perçue comme une manière artificielle de gonfler la hauteur des bâtiments. Les classements internationaux des plus hauts bâtiments prennent souvent en compte la hauteur totale, y compris la hauteur de vanité, ce qui peut conduire à des débats sur la manière de mesurer la vraie hauteur fonctionnelle d'un immeuble. Certains préfèrent ainsi distinguer la hauteur architecturale(qui inclut la hauteur de vanité) de la hauteur utilisable(qui mesure uniquement les niveaux accessibles aux occupants). En somme, la hauteur de vanité contribue à l'impact visuel d'un bâtiment et peut accroître sa reconnaissance, mais elle ne représente pas nécessairement un espace utile. Elle symbolise souvent l'ambition architecturale et le désir de prestige, mais elle reste purement décorative dans la plupart des cas. 5/ Comment la loi Coogan protège-t-elle les enfants stars ?La loi Cooganprotège les enfants stars de cinéma et de télévision en veillant à ce qu'une partie de leurs revenus soit préservée pour leur avenir.

We take a brief pause from our Hitchcock countdown this week with our first Chaplin Checkpoint. Bonnie had never seen a Chaplin movie before. We start with his hit 1921 comedy The Kid. The Tramp takes in an abandoned baby, who grows into an adorable child, played by Jackie Coogan. Counsin Jenny joins us as our special guest co-host!

Mary Iannelli sits down with Emma Green, Head of Emma Green Casting, to discuss the role of a casting director and what up and coming actors should know about the casting process.Credits:Audio Engineer Gary GlorOne Heartbeat Away is provided to The Theater Project by Gail Lou and Damian DeSandiesReferences:Emma Green Bio:  Emma Green is a seasoned Casting Director and Development Producer. Originally from Australia, Emma forged her way into the world of Casting and Producing from humble beginnings as an eager intern with companies such as Maura Fay/Tom McSweeney (AUST) and Cast Iron Productions (USA). She has a keen eye for talent and a relentless willingness to find the right person for every role no matter how big or small. This has helped her climb the ranks from Associate to Coordinator to Producer and Director in a relatively short amount of time. She worked for several years with Fremantle Media USA- focusing on development casting needs as well as several seasons on the hit NBC show- America's Got Talent. From there Emma branched out as a Development & Casting Producer for TV and was appointed Manager for US Factual Development at Temple Street Productions, the company best known for Orphan Black, Killjoys & Million Dollar Critic. Now she is at the helm of Emma Green Casting; a boutique company that provides casting services for US and International Productions, with a specialization in foreign castings and talent for TV, Film, Commercial and New Media projects. Emma has earned her reputation as a hardworking professional in the world of entertainment with keen attention to detail, a personalized and refreshing 'out of the box' approach to get every job done right!Casting websites:StarNowhttps://www.starnow.com/Backstagehttps://www.backstage.com/Casting Networkshttps://www.castingnetworks.com/Actor's Accesshttps://actorsaccess.com/Breakdown Serviceshttps://breakdownservices.com/Upcasthttps://getupcast.com/Casting Frontierhttps://castingfrontier.com/Warner Brothers Internship Opportunitieshttps://careers.wbd.com/global/en/internship-opportunitiesFremantle Mediahttps://fremantle.com/Coogan Work Permit:  All actors under the age of 18 in the state of California—which is to say, actors who either live here or are doing work here, even if they legally reside in another state—are required to open a Coogan Account (also known as a blocked trust account) before they are allowed to work.This means that if you are coming to Los Angeles to audition for anything—even for a short time, like a week or two—you need to have this account set up and in place. If your audition leads to a role, depending on the type of role/production, you could be on set literally the next day, and production will expect you to have the paperwork in order. No Coogan Account, no work.This applies not only to film and TV, but also to commercials, modeling, voiceover work, etc. New York, Louisiana, and New Mexico have similar laws. The intention of the Coogan law is that a minimum of 15% of each dollar a young actor makes goes into an account that is untouchable until they turn 18. It is named after Jackie Coogan, the child star from the 1930s whose fortune was squandered by his parents

Charles Chaplin war Anfang der 1920er dank seiner zahlreichen kurzen Filme, in denen seine Kunstfigur, der Tramp Charlie, die Hauptrolle spielte, bereits ein Weltstar. Einen Wendepunkt in seinem Schaffen bildet sicherlich die Mit-Begründung der United Artists, die ihn finanziell und kreativ unabhängiger machen sollte, sowie die Entdeckung des 4 Jahre alten Jackie Coogan. Die Zusammenarbeit mit ihm führte zu Chaplins erstem Langfilm „The Kid“, der eine riesiger Erfolg war und in über 50 Länder exportiert wurde. Premiere feierte der Film am 21. Januar 1921, kam aber erst beinahe 3 Jahre später, am 9. November 23 in Deutschland in die Kinos. Dies nahmen zahlreiche Zeitungen zum Anlass, über Chaplin zu schreiben. Auch der Berliner Lokal-Anzeiger vom 5. November tat dies in seiner 5 Milliarden teuren Ausgabe. Wie sehr Chaplin neben des Schauspiels auch die Regie und andere Gewerke des Films an sich riss liest für uns Frank Riede.

Keith Coogan was born Keith Eric Mitchell on January 13, 1970 in Palm Springs, California. The grandson of legendary character actor Jackie Coogan, Keith began his acting career doing TV commercials -- his first gig was as a stand-in in a McDonald's TV spot -- as well various TV shows and made-for-TV movies. Coogan did the voice of Young Tod for the charming animated Disney picture "The Fox and the Hound." His first on-screen role was the smitten Brad Anderson in the delightful teen comedy cult favorite "Adventures in Babysitting." Keith gave a very funny and engaging performance as Christina Applegate's stoner layabout brother Kenny in the equally enjoyable "Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead" and was impressive as Jonathan "Snuffy" Bradberry in "Toy Soldiers." Among the television programs Coogan has made guest appearances on are "The Love Boat," "Eight Is Enough," "Mork & Mindy," "Knight Rider," "CHiPS," "Starman," "21 Jump Street," and "Tales from the Crypt." Keith graduated from Santa Monica High School and attended Santa Monica College, where he majored in Drama and minored in English Literature. He also attended Los Angeles City College, where he majored in Java Programming. Coogan resides in Los Angeles, California and continues to act with pleasing regularity. In his spare time he runs a couple of blogs.Support the show

 To our American listeners, a belated happy 4th of July! As we celebrate our country's independence, we thought it appropriate to celebrate that all-American hero, who fights for truth, justice, and the American way -Superman! The Planet 8 crew revisits the classic 1978 Superman movie, which promised that we would believe a man could fly. And we did indeed! Actor Christopher Reeve remains iconic as the Man of Steel in this light-hearted film.As always, we'll discuss the cast and crew, how the film came together, and our feelings about the film, from when we first saw it and now. Although Reeve was an unknown when cast as Superman, he was surrounded by an all-star cast, with actors such as Marlon Brando as his Kryptonian father, Jor-El, Gene Hackman as villain Lex Luthor, Ned Betty as Luthor's henchman, Otis, Glenn Ford as Pa Kent, and Jackie Coogan as Daily Planet editor Perry White. The cast absolutely makes the film, with Reeve and his utter sincerity in the role essential to selling it.There's also a wonderful chemistry between Reeve and Margot Kidder as Lois Lane -although we could all live without Lois' "Can you read my mind?" segment! But the two actors are absolutely charming together.The effects in the film are a mixed bag, but the most important effect -Superman's flying -still holds up and gives us a thrill. The way Superman flies in the movie is graceful and majestic -truly beautiful, and Reeve again is the element that clinches it, the way he moves his body and hands as he flies. Of course, the music also gives it a lot of oomph!Speaking of music, who could forget the grand John Williams score? The Superman theme is unforgettable! Williams' soundtrack here is every bit as good as his work on Star Wars or Jaws or anything else from his catalog.There's a reason that this film, even 40 plus years later, continues to show up on favorite super-hero film lists. It's just a fantastic film. As we prepare to release this episode, it has been announced that director Richard Donner has passed. He truly deserves so much credit for the success of Superman. He was greatly loved and respected by his cast and crew. Rest in peace.For this episode's Sensor Sweep, Commander Larry shares the Hasbro Stormbreaker, Thor's hammer/axe. This thing is crazy! It's full size, about 4 feet long, and makes a racket! It also lights up. If you feel the need to be a thunder god, or fear you might have to protect yourself against a mad titan, go online and pick one up.We hope you enjoyed this episode. Be sure to tell us about your first time seeing Superman. How do you feel about the movie today? As always, you can leave comments on the site, or go to our other hangouts:Twitter: https://twitter.com/Planet8CastFacebook: www.Facebook.com/Planet8PodcastUp, up, and away!!!!

Des vies multiples Entretien avec Pierre Smolik, essayiste et écrivain vaudois, autour de "The Freak. Le dernier film de Chaplin", dans lequel il évoque le film testament de Chaplin qui met en lumière l'ensemble de son œuvre. "The Freak" aurait été, entre autres, une satire sur la toute puissance de l'argent et du commerce, sur l'emprise de la publicité et sur la montée du fanatisme religieux et son exploitation médiatique. L'opus d'un homme libre qui le fait apparaître - encore et toujours - en avance sur son temps. Photo: Charlie Chaplin et Jackie Coogan dans "The Kid", qui évoque l'enfance de l'acteur lui-même.

Peter picked the 1921 movie The Kid to review, starring Charlie Chaplin and Jackie Coogan. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/david-g68/message

Oh, hey! Welcome back to another wickedly delicious episode of this crazy podcast! Joining me this time around is one Mr. Keith Coogan! A Hollywood icon who's films were cornerstones in our lives... Adventures in Babysitting, Cousins, Toy Soldiers, Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead, as well as countless commercials and television appearances...He gets candid about his family's connection to Hollywood history via his grandfather, Jackie Coogan, who was one of the first child stars back in the 1920's starring in Charlie Chaplin's "The Kid", was also one of the very first stars to be heavily merchandised on various products, and because of the mishandling of his earnings, his legal case in 1939 helped enact The California Child Actor's Bill or Coogan's Law to help ensure and protect future child actors by having a portion of their earnings set aside in a trust. And if that wasn't enough, Keith's grandfather went on to act in a little tv show called The Addams Family as Uncle Fester!! So it's only natural that Keith went forward and carved his own path through Hollywood and into our hearts by being a part of those 80's and 90's cult classic films that we all still watch and enjoy to this very day. The icing on the cake?? He loves to cook! His enthusiasm and passion for food made for some amazing conversation. Highly educated, and knowledgeable as all get out, Keith wound up picking MY brain and teaching me a thing to two about culinary history, his own methods for cooking ribs, steaks, sweet potatoes, and more! From the origins of Stone Soup, to how his role as Kenny in Don't Tell Mom inspired so many to become Chef's themselves, Keith's impact and influence on pop culture is rightfully getting the recognition he so deserves. Now go prepare your self a snack, grab a tasty beverage, and make sure the dishes are done, man!

Keith was quite the legend in his own right however, guest starring in almost every big TV show of the 80s including Love Boat, Fantasy Island, Growing Pains, Knight Rider, Chips and my personal favorite Silver Spoons.

Day 2 of Death by DVD's exploration into the death of slasher films with The Horror Show (1989) & The Prey (1983) discussed

Am 26. Oktober 1914 erblickte Jackie Coogan in Los Angeles das Licht der Welt. Und ein paar Jahre später stand er bereits vor der Kamera - mit Charlie Chaplin in "the Kid".

Movies don't go back a whole lot further than the 1920s.  Most of the ones that did are lost forever.  Jackie Coogan, best known to modern audiences as the original Uncle Fester, got his first role in 1917 and didn't stop until his death many decades later.  You could call him the original guy who was in everything.  Keith, his grandson, has been carrying the torch well. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We talk to Keith Coogan - Actor and Star of the classic films 'Adventures In Babysitting', 'Toy Soldiers' and 'Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter's Dead'. Keith recalls his time growing up in Hollywood and his journey from breaking out in classic TV shows and making the jump to motion pictures. He talks of his legendary grandfather Jackie Coogan, auditions with River Phoenix, why Hollywood is doing so many remakes and we also try and solve the mystery behind the name change of 'Adventure's in Babysitting' to 'A Night On The Town' when it hit the UK.

This might be a good show to listen to to with the family. I’m empowering our youth to help Armenians in artsahk TODAY!

Jackie Coogan landed his first movie role when he was just an infant. A few years later, when he was performing the shimmy on stage, Charlie Chaplin was taken by his performance. He cast little Jackie in a couple of his films, and with that, Jackie’s career took off. Jackie became one of the industry’s biggest stars. By the time he was 12, he’d earned a million dollars. By the time he was 21, he’d earned four million. He was set for life. The money had all been set aside -- just waiting for him to hit adulthood. At least, that’s what he’d been told. Then Brandi tells us about a troubled marriage. Jennifer and Frederick Trayers had been married for nearly two decades. They’d been through ups and downs together. Frederick’s career in the navy took them all over the place, but they always had each other. But in 2002, Frederick began an affair. Suspicious, Jennifer installed spyware on Frederick’s computer. She began reading every emotionally-charged email between the two. She read and read and read, and eventually, she took action. And now for a note about our process. For each episode, Kristin reads a bunch of articles, then spits them back out in her very limited vocabulary. Brandi copies and pastes from the best sources on the web. And sometimes Wikipedia. (No shade, Wikipedia. We love you.) We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the real experts who covered these cases. In this episode, Kristin pulled from: “Coogan Case Spurs Move to Safeguard Wealth of Minors” by Martha Martin, The Daily News, 1938 “California Child Actors Bill,” entry on Wikipedia “Jackie Coogan,” entry on Wikipedia “Jackie Coogan wins fortune fight decision,” Los Angeles Times, 1938 “Mother of Jackie Coogan reweds,” The Pomona Progress Bulletin, 1936 “In life, as on screen, pathos marks career of the kid,” Frederick Othman, The Oklahoman, 1938 In this episode, Brandi pulled from: “The Love Triangle Murder of Lt. Commander Fred Trayers” by Bryan Lavietes, The Crime Library “Jennifer Trayers”http://murderpedia.org “Trayers v. Johnson” casetext.com

Matthew Sweet features a selection of music for films that have been led by actors not yet in or out of their teens. From the likes of Jackie Coogan, Shirley Temple, Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland, to more recent stars such as Jodie Foster, Daniel Radcliffe and Asa Butterfield.

Directed by Kenneth Branagh, it has a new score by Patrick Doyle, and stars 15 year old Ferdia Shaw. The programme features music from ‘What Ever Happened To Baby Jane?, ‘Finding Neverland’, ‘The Kid’, ‘Bright Eyes’, ‘Captains Courageous’, ‘Babes In Arms’, ‘Hunted’, ‘Willie Wonka And The Chocolate Factory’, ‘The Parent Trap’, ‘Pollyanna’, ‘Taxi Driver’, ‘Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children’, ‘Harry Potter And The Philosopher’s Stone’ as well as music from Patrick Doyle’s new score. The Classic Score of the Week is Miklos Rosza’s music for the 1940 ‘Thief Of Baghdad’ starring Sabu.

Catch a glimpse of the silent movie era and how it was an integral part of your ancestors' lives. In this episode, I find out more about the silent movies my grandmother catalogued in her diary, and how they molded a generation. The cultural influences of the “Picture Shows” Below is a page from my grandmother's journal documenting the silent films she saw that year, including the actors who starred in them. Just like today, the stars who light up the silver screen were mimicked and followed for fashion trends, hair styles, decorating ideas, and moral behavior. Understanding who the role models were at the time gives us a better understanding of the cultural influences of the era.  Films are NOT primary resources, but they certainly paint a picture of life at any given time in history. Finding silent films in my area To learn more about silent films, I started with a simple Google search, altering my search criteria until I found movie theaters that showed silent films in my area. The first theater I found was the Stanford Theatre, located in Palo Alto, California. It was first opened in 1925 and stood as Palo Alto's premier theater house for several decades. In 1987, the David and Lucile Packard Foundation bought the theater and restored it. It is now owned and operated by the non-profit Stanford Theatre Foundation. - The website provides all the movie schedules from 1929-1961, compiled from ads that appeared in the Palo Alto Times. Vaudeville acts were also regularly included in the lineup. And the Wurlitzer organ live accompaniment was a staple. Grandma's Diary Entry – Sunday, April 22, 1928 I have to lead singing at church. Walter and I went to the lake. Met Helen Weathers and Jesse Jay and Ed Taylor. Helen and I went in swimming. Went to the show afterwards. The vaudeville was keen. Lew Cody in “Adam and Eve.” The first silent movie I saw was “Diary of a Lost Girl”, a German movie starting Louise Brooks. It was a late entry silent film released on April 24, 1930. It tells the story of an innocent young girl, who is raped by the clerk of her father's pharmacy. After she becomes pregnant, she is rejected by her family and must fend for herself in a cruel world. It was not the wholesome far I expected but was riveting nonetheless. (I must acknowledge the organ accompaniment of Dennis James because he added a drama and magic to the film that was priceless.) The next film I saw was the classic 1923 comedy “Safety Last” starring Harold Lloyd. This is a must-see, full of laugh-out-loud humor. I was starting to get a feel for what drew Grandma to the pictures as a young girl. It was magical, glamorous, and hugely expanded her social network.   Society's views on the silent film era To learn more, I was combed through newspapers from her home town in the 1920s at the State Archives. I came across two newspaper articles: “Getting Back to the Home” from January of 1925, and “Harking Back to those Old Home Days” from February 5, 1925. The first article leads in… “Much has been said as to the methods of checking the crime and rebelliousness among the young people of today. The automobile, trains and other means of travel as well as moving pictures, dance halls, etc. that attract young people, and so lead them to seek amusement away from home have contributed to the fact that the home is not the center of attraction for the majority of families as it once was.” The article went on to say that there were plans in the works for a community get-together. The February 5th article reported the events of that evening, which was called “Back to the Home.” The local residents ate pumpkin pie, sang songs, listened to speeches and music, and comic readings. (And I happened to recognize the name of the cellist in the orchestra as being the man who signed as witness on my great-grandfather's naturalization papers!) The even was a huge success and was deemed “something that will in surely bear repeating.” Immediately my grandmother's diary entries bemoaning her mother who was “from the old country” started to become clearer. Grandma felt that Great-Grandma just didn't understand her. Having experienced the thrill of the old movie theater experience myself, and reading in the newspapers how it was affecting society, I began to better understand that she lamenting more than just the woes of being 15 years old. Society was changing. And as a mother, I began to sympathize with my great-grandmother's plight of trying to raise three teenagers in the new world. Enjoying Silent Movies at Home I live 25 minutes from a little town that has a Silent Film Museum devoted to a company that produced hundreds of them locally back in the teens.  Every Saturday night, they show two shorts, and one full length movie each week with live piano accompaniment. Last week my husband and I went to the regular Saturday night show, and we found ourselves watching the original full-length versions of two movies about San Francisco in 1906.  In the last podcast, I covered the San Francisco Earthquake and other historical events, and included a Youtube.com playlist that I created full of old and new videos about the earthquake.    The first movie short was called “A Trip Down Market Street.” This is in my Youtube.com playlist under the title “San Francisco 1905 - 1906 (short form).” The Archivist at the museum said that research has uncovered that this film was shot just about four days before the earthquake hit in April 1906. The filmmaker shot the entire movie from the back of a cable car slowly moving down Market Street toward the Ferry Building. He told us that the reason the movie survived is that the filmmaker shipped the film to their New York offices for processing just one day before the quake. The second movie short was produced by Blackhawk Films immediately following the earthquake, () and was aptly titled “Destruction of San Francisco.” Portions of this film can also be found on the YouTube playlist. If you don't live within driving distance to a theater showing silent films, here are some options for viewing at home: Netflix (UPDATED) – They have an incredible catalogue of films that can be hard to find. You can stream movies from any device at home at . Type “silent” in the search box and click the GENRE matches tab. You can also search by your favorite silent movie star (Mary Pickford, Clara Bow, Harold Lloyd, Douglas Fairbanks, Jackie Coogan, etc). Not all films are available to stream, but many can be delivered in DVD form with a subscription to . Turner Classic Movies (TCM) – - Go to the website and type SILENT in the search box, then click GO. Scroll down to the KEYWORD MATCHES to see what's available. They often run “Silent Sundays.” I find the best way to approach TCM it to review the schedule for the week on my cable TV menu, and set movies of interest to be recorded. The Public Library – A quick search of my local library catalogue online showed dozens of silent movies. I found that searching a particular silent era actor as an “author” worked better than searching ‘silent movies' alone. Beware, movies held over the one week time limit incur hefty fees. But the titles were free, and in the case of my local library, I can place a request for a movie from another library in the same county system, and they will deliver it to my local branch and hold it for me for pick up free of charge. For a global search of libraries try Amazon.com – If you have a specific title or actor in mind, a quick search will tell you if Amazon has it. And if it's been released, they probably do. However, browsing is more challenging. To narrow your search to only silent movies, select DVD  in the SEARCH area, and click GO. Then click “BROWSE GENRES.” From the next page click CLASSICS. Then, in the Browse box on the right, click SILENT FILMS. I got over 400 results.  If you're not looking for a Charlie Chaplin film, add “-Chaplin” to your search and you'll get the results down to 282 films. You can help support this free podcast by always starting your searches in our Amazon search boxes located throughout the Genealogy Gems website at Ebay.com – If you're looking for a title that is particularly hard to find, EBay may be the best source. Grandma's Diary Entry – Friday, November 2nd, 1930 “Alfred, Len, Mama and I went to the show in Merced.  “Four Son's.”  It was sure good!” I looked the movie up at IMDb.com, the biggest movie database on the internet. The description stated that the movie revolved around a mother and her four grown sons living happily in a German village prior to WWI. The oldest son, Joseph, yearns to go to America, and his mother gives him her savings to realize his dream. After the war begins, two of the sons go off to battle and are killed. Meanwhile, Joseph becomes an American citizen and joins the army to fight against Germany. The youngest son then leaves to join his battalion, and is killed in battle. After the war, Joseph goes home to New York and sends for his mother. She makes the journey through Ellis Island and they finally reunite. My grandma's parents had emigrated from Germany in 1910, just prior to the start of the war.  Great-grandfather came over first to find work. When great grandmother discovered she was pregnant with Alfred, she followed three months letter, which was sooner than planned. She secretly made the trip with her 3-year-old daughter. I had to get a copy of this film! I couldn't find “Four Sons” at any of the usual places, so I went to Ebay.com. There I found someone who had a copy, and I bought it. The movie was extremely moving, and I cheered for the naive yet faithful mother as she made her way alone through the confusing world of Ellis Island and the streets of New York. This movie must have been very touching for Great grandmother to watch, and I would guess that it generated conversation about her own trip.  Many years later, Grandma fulfilled a life long dream and made the trip to Ellis Island to see it for herself. Before her death, she told an eager granddaughter all about Mama, the journey through Ellis Island, and about her love for the moving pictures. GEM: Interview with Sam Gill – April 19th, 2007 Do you by chance research your own family history? Not much now. As a child I helped my mother quite a bit with her genealogical research, joining her on trips to libraries, helping at home, typing up manuscripts, filling in sheets, etc. My mother published a little pamphlet on the John Ashton family of London, Ontario, Canada for which I'll provide a link to a recent description. In my youth, I also recorded via reel-to-reel tape, important family members (father's mother in depth; mother's step-mother briefly; mother and father, and siblings casually) in the 1960s and 1970s. They—the older family members-- are all deceased now, and I am very glad I did this. I am currently transferring these tapes to CD. My brothers George and Paul are very interested in family history, too—now, actually more so than I am, which is very surprising considering my brother Paul showed very little interest in family during his youth. I was extremely interested in family history in my youth, but not as much now, unless it be to discover whatever I can about the personal relationships family members had to one another, as well as to their friends and other loved ones. How accurately do you think they portray life at that time? One needs to be very careful with film, today as well as yesterday. Most film—even documentaries—often depict people as they want to be seen, or to perform in stories the way they themselves want to appear, or the way the filmmakers specifically want their characters to appear. I have a friend who once coordinated the locating of antiques in the Los Angeles area for Christie's in London, who commented that frequently the furniture he saw in teens silent films of the fairly common society-drama type, were extremely high-end antiques that would command extremely high figures in current auctions, and are the kind of antiques never seen in today's films, or at least very rarely. I mention this because it's a good example of the fact that each person may see something of interest that another person would not even notice or care about. Also, films from the silent era can be important historically and culturally in showing us the way life was; but as with any photograph, it may take a lot of interpretation and understanding to know exactly what it is that we are looking at. What influence do you believe the young medium of movies had on the culture of that time? Huge influence. I believe films from the very beginning had an enormous impact on our culture, and the culture of every country when and where films began to be shown. And as sound was added, even with radio, and later with the immediacy of television, the impact has become even more profound. Many immigrants have commented, too, then as now, on the importance of going to the movies to learn the language and culture of their new country. I believe youth especially has been affected, but probably all ages. I mention youth because young people are so impressionable, and so things such as fashion, dating techniques, job aspirations, desires of where one might live and play, attitudes toward family and community, nearly every aspect of life has been represented and thus made available to audiences for their “selecting,” taking what each person wants or “needs” and leaving the rest. With what they take, they can mold their lives, or re-define what it is they believe they know and want. How would you advise a family historian to approach the silent movies as a resource?  See as many films as he or she can, starting with whatever seems of most interest—documentaries; travel films; comedies; dramas; westerns; whatever. For more of the genuine “feel” of the movie-going experience, I believe what we are doing here at the Niles Essanay Silent Film Museum on Saturday nights, is very important. These silent films were shown with music accompaniment, which aids greatly the impact and accessibility of these films. With what movie or actor / actress would you recommend they start to become introduced to silent films? That's an interesting question, and one that gets at the root of what I mean when I say these films can have a profound impact on a person—especially youth. Just as someone today may be enormously impressed with Johnny Depp or Christina Ricci, or a film about the mafia life, or corporate life in New York City, or even a horror or fantasy film, the same holds true for silent films seen today. Each of our audience members seems to relate in a highly individualistic way to a film, often to a particular “star”—perhaps being impressed with the steely reserve of William S. Hart; laughing at the often-surreal physical stunts of Buster Keaton who becomes a kind of Every Man against the harsh realities of our physical world; the adventurous-spirit of Douglas Fairbanks; the spunkiness of Mary Pickford who never let anything get her down; and so on. The film A TRIP DOWN MARKET STREET (1906) has become a great favorite here, where a camera was placed on the front of a street-car heading down from about 8th Street to the Ferry Building in April 1906 just a few days before the earthquake and fire. Horse-drawn wagons, cars and vehicles, automobiles, people on foot, bicycles, you name it, all these methods of transportation are fascinating; but most fascinating, we are watching the people themselves, some oblivious to the filming, others intensely interested, staring right at the camera! Any other thoughts on the subject as it pertains to folks interested in learning more about the era of 1900-1930? There are more and more films available on DVD but I still love books, and what one can discover going to the library and pulling film books off the shelves to read at one's leisure—historical works, cultural studies, picture books (even coffee table books), encyclopedias, biographies and autobiographies, corporate histories of film companies, on and on. It's all fascinating, and it's all out there…to be discovered. Many years ago, someone told me he thought I “lived in the past,” and implied that that was a pretty terrible thing to do. I answered, “I don't think of it as LIVING in the past, but of EXPLORING the past, like an archaeologist.” I think the truth of that may be the same for genealogists, to explore the past through the discovery of family history, which is after all, human history.
