"THE NICHOLAS BROTHERS: CLASSIC CINEMA STARS OF THE MONTH" The Nicholas Brothers, FAYARD and HAROLD, are arguably two of the greatest dancer to ever hit Hollywood. Born to musician parents, they learned their craft working the vaudeville scene and appearing at the famous Cotten Club during the Harlem Renaissance before landing in Hollywood. In Tinseltown, they made movie magic dancing in some of Hollywood's biggest musicals. The brothers mixed tap-dancing with acrobatics to perfect thrilling routines that we're still win awe of today. They also had to endure the limits put upon them by the racism of the day. Join us this week, as we celebrate these icons of dance who are our Stars of the Month.  SHOW NOTES:  Sources: Brotherhood in Rhythm: The Tap Dancing of the Nicholas Brothers (2002), by Constance Valis Hill; Dorothy Dandridge: An Intimate Biography (1970), by Earl Mills; “The Nicholas Brothers, Fayard and Harold: Tap Dance Legends,” February 17, 2024, Dance Mogul magazine; “The Incredible Nicholas Brothers: A Classic Hollywood Black Dance Duo Everyone Should Be Obsessed With,” October 30, 2022, by Maureen Lee Lenker, Entertainment Weekly; “The Nicholas Brothers: Every Generations Dance Heroes,” February 17, 2020, by Najja Parker, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution; “Celebrating The Nicholas Brothers,” September 16, 2011, by Daniel Eagan, Smithsonian magazine; www.nicholasbrothers.com TCM.com; IMDBPro.com; IBDB.com; Wikipedia.com; AcademyMuseum.com Movies Mentioned:  Pie Pie Blackbird  (1932) - starring Nina Mae McKinney & The Nicholas Brothers; Stoopnocracy (1933), starring Budd Hulick & Harold Nicholas; The Emperor Jones (1933), starring Paul Robeson & Harold Nicholas; Kid Millions (1934), starring Eddie Cantor, Ann Sothern, & Ethel Merman; Jealousy (1934), starring Nancy Kelly & George Murphy; The Big Broadcast of 1936 (1935), starring Jack Oakie, George Burns, Gracie Allen, Bing Crosby, & Ethel Merman; Coronado (1935), starring Johnny Downs; My American Wife (1936), starring Francis Lederer & Ann Sothern; Don't Gamble with Love (1936) starring Ann Sothern; Babes in Arms (1937), starring Mickey Rooney & Judy Garland; Down Argentine Way (1940), starring Betty Grable, Don Ameche, Carmen Miranda, & Charlotte, Greenwood; Tin Pan Alley (1940), starring Betty Grable, Alice Faye, Jack Oakie, & John Payne; The Great American Broadcast (1941), starring Alice Faye & John Payne; Sun Valley Serenade (1941), starring Sonja Henie & John Payne; Orchestra Wives (1942), starring George Montgomery & Ann Rutherford; Stormy Weather (1943), starring Lena Horne; Reckless Age (1944), starring Gloria Jean & Harold Nicholas; Carolina Blues (1944), starring Kay Kyser & Ann Miller; The Pirate (1948), starring Judy Garland & Gene Kelly; Botta e Riposta (1950); El Mensaje le la Muerte (1953); Musik I'm Blut (1955); L'Empire de la Nuit (1964); The Liberation of L.B.

It's Women's History Month, so we're devoting this episode to the women of Chamonix 1924--all 13 of them.  At the first Winter Olympics, women competed in ladies and pairs figure skating. We take a look at this competition, as well as the men's event, to learn just how different this Olympic sport was back in the day when Austria was a powerhouse (let's just say it doesn't include ice set on a specific Pantone color base).  The competition features Olympic and figure skating legend Sonja Henie in her first Olympics.

Madame Alexander had a dream to educate through dolls and 100 years later, Madame's legacy is still inspiring new generations of children.   Designer and author Bruce A. de Armond joins host Louisa Maxwell to discuss the life and work of Beatrice Alexander.   Madame was born Bertha (Beatrice) Alexander, in New York's lower East side where her father had a doll shop and hospital. Beatrice trained and worked as a bookkeeper but the advent of World War One and a shortage of the supply of dolls from Europe inspired Beatrice and sisters to create their own cloth dolls. The success of the cloth dolls persuaded Beatrice to launch the Alexander Doll company in 1923 and began her legendary collaboration with toy store FAO Schwarz in New York. Beatrice styled herself as “Madame “ Alexander capitalising on her European roots to give an aura of glamour to the brand. Madame Alexander had vision as a designer and as a business person. She negotiated a variety of licensed deals to make dolls in the likenesses of Hollywood stars: Jane Withers, Judy Garland, Sonja Henie, Carmen Miranda and Scarlett O'Hara. She launched the chic fashion doll Cissy who gained world wide recognition as the face of British beauty brand Yardley. Now in 2023, a century later, Madame Alexander's dolls are still celebrated and collected as they appeal, not only to doll collectors but to lovers of film and pop culture. Bruce A. de Armond is an interior designer  with an international portfolio creating signature styes for hotels, casinos and department stores. Bruce combines his interests in art, dolls and fashion by working with museum collections, auction houses, and contributing to books on vintage dolls. Bruce A. deArmond's blog dolledition.com explores the ever evolving story of dolls and fashion.

Sonja Henie foi campeã mundial e olímpica de patinação artística. Conseguiu levar seu talento nos rinques também para as telonas, tornando-se atriz de Hollywood. Sonja Henie nasceu em Oslo, em 1912. Tendo começado a patinar aos seis anos de idade, ganhou prêmios de patinação artística aos dez e, com apenas doze, competiu nas Olimpíadas de Inverno de 1924. Tendo incorporado movimentos do ballet clássico às suas apresentações, inspirada pela bailarina Anna Pavlova (#mulherdefibra), Sonja se tornou um fenômeno da patinação, misturando técnica com graciosidade. Durante sua carreira, venceu dezenas de competições nacionais na Noruega, seis títulos na Europa, dez mundiais, e ainda levou três medalhas de ouro nas Olimpíadas de 1928, 1932 e 1936. Depois de todos seus triunfos, em 1936 Sonja Henie passou a apresentar números de patinação no gelo nos Estados Unidos, sendo a produtora de seus próprios espetáculos; seu sucesso por lá foi tanto que, no mesmo ano, Henie assinou um contrato com a Twentieth Century-Fox, se tornando uma das atrizes mais bem pagas de sua época e exigindo controle total sobre os números de patinação nos filmes em que atuava. Seu grande sucesso de bilheteria nos cinemas fez com que suas apresentações de patinação ao vivo passassem arrecadassem fortunas tanto nos Estados Unidos quanto na Europa, tornando-a milionária. Sonja Henie tinha inúmeros fãs, e dentre eles estava Adolf Hitler, com quem a patinadora parecia ter algum nível de amizade; sua proximidade com líderes nazistas e suas declarações públicas reticentes sobre a Segunda Guerra Mundial foram alvos de críticas ferozes na Noruega e EUA. Durante a ocupação alemã da Noruega, nenhuma de suas propriedades foi confiscada ou danificada pelas tropas nazistas... Em 1941, Henie se tornou cidadã dos Estados Unidos e tentou fazer com que suas posições políticas fossem esquecidas. Em 1969, Sonja Henie faleceu, aos 57 anos, vítima de leucemia.

I thank you for joining me again, Beyond the big Screen., [00:00:00] this is beyond the big screen podcast with your host, Steve Guerra. Thank you again for joining us today on beyond the big screen. And we're here to discuss today. The 1958 fictionalized documentary called hello London, alternatively known as London calling. We will discuss the evolution. Figure skating over the course of the 20th century, the famous figure, skaters, Sonja Henie and the complex sport and industry of figure skating.I'm very happy today to be joined by Ryan Stevens to discuss this interesting production. Thanks for joining us, Ryan. Ryan Stevens as a former competitive figure skater and C F S a skate Canada judge. [00:01:00] He has been writing about figure skating since 2013. Ryan has had media credentials with skate Canada covering the 2016 Canadian tire national skating championship and Halifax as well as conducting interviews with many top figure skaters past and present in June, 2017, Ryan released a full length biography of British actress, figure skater and dancing.Belita Jepson Turner, a contemporary and perceived rival of Sonja. Henie who we're going to talk a lot about today. Ryan's blog skate guard can be found at skate guard, one.blogspot.ca and in the show notes I'll, uh, briefly just. Discuss the production details. It was a limited release in 1958. The film was never officially widely released in the United States.And as a runtime of 78 minutes. [00:02:00] And as I said, it was released in the UK in 1960 as London calling Sonja Henie, which we'll talk about more as well, was a very popular actress in about the middle part of the previous century. And this was her last film. Uh, Ryan, maybe you can give us a little bit of background on this film and how it ties into early and mid.20th century figure skating. Well, I'll go. London was really, it was an attempt at a comeback for Sonja Henie. She'd been after turning professional, uh, and coming to America in 1936 after winning her third Olympic gold medal. Uh, she was signed with 20th century Fox and she produced these very lavish, uh, skating, driven, uh, films that were huge box office hits, but over after the war, [00:03:00] and as, as, as the case with many, um, actresses that he'd look at, um, an actress like Esther Williams, who was, uh, she was a swimmer.So. These kind of vehicles, uh, that are driven by a specialty such as swimming or skating. Obviously the skaters that were in the skating movies, they were able to sustain that fame for a certain level of time and it's windled off. And that kind of happened with Sonia a little bit. And at the time she was doing shows at the center theater in New York and touring with her own ice reveal.So when hello, Came out. It was an attempt at a comeback of sorts for her in the film world. She was going to do a planning to do a series of films where she visited different cities. So this one was, was based around her tour, going to London. And then she was, you know, looking at doing hello, Paris. Hello?Uh, [00:04:00] St. Marets hello, Oslo. Just know different European cities in capitals around the world. And kind of tying in the stars, uh, musical and theatrical stars from the country that she visited. So unfortunately that didn't happen. This ended up being her last film, but it's certainly is a really wonderful example of how skating carnival.Like hotel shows and carnival style productions and touring productions were thriving during that. And it spoke more to the road show aspect of skating, a professional skating then of the twat driven stories that were in her other films. Yeah. But I thought it was a really cool idea, especially when, uh, before we were, when we were planning this, that this was a promotional piece that probably worked really well for her skating enterprise, [00:05:00] as well as a tourism type show, almost like a Prado travel channel show.Yeah. Yeah. I'd agree with that. Definitely. Well, at the time, at the time in England, uh, these ice pantomimes were thriving, uh, which was quite interesting because in America it was all, it was all about these hotels shows and touring productions, but the ice pantomimes in England, uh, during the era, when this.We're released. They were almost like staged shows on ice where the skaters would lip sync along, uh, to prerecord it prerecorded voice tracks. So it was, yeah, it was really quite interesting because at the time skating was thriving in a different way in England, professional skating wise, and it wasn't a American.And I think that this was in a way Sonia's way of trying to get in on that Marquez. You use that term hotel show. Maybe you can tell us a [00:06:00] little bit more about what a hotel show was. Well, imagine going into a, a supper club or a, or a restaurant at a hotel being seated at a table to have your supper, to have a few cocktails and watching figure skating shoe.On a small tank of ice while you were having dinner or having a few drinks, uh, they would, these shows would have usually a live singer or two they'd have a small cost of skaters. And usually some novelty acts. They might have a juggler. They might have. Um, a physical comedian, something along those lines, but they were small variety shows, uh, centered around skating that you could watch while you were having supper.And they were huge in hotels across America, in, uh, the 19. Well, they actually started, uh, back before prohibition died out for some time, and then they made a comeback. And during the era that this film would have come out, they still would have [00:07:00] been thriving and. Oh, that sounds like a lot of fun actually.Yeah. What would it, what would it be? Is there a, an analogy to that today or did, uh, did they carry through at all to closer to our times? I mean, if you look at today, uh, skating has certainly changed, uh, on the professional side, there isn't a lot of it, unfortunately, um, There are still skating shows, uh, on cruise ships that people can watch.There are skating shows, um, that hits, uh, different, uh, Uh, theme parks, like for instance, Canada's Wonderland. I know they've had a nice show a before as well. So those kinds of things still go on, but not in the same scale as they did. Ice skating is a really interesting sport in that it has a really hyper-competitive world-class athletic element to it.But like you're saying, it also has this [00:08:00] entertainment element. Do those. Facets of the, of the sport or of the industry clash at all? I think they absolutely. If you look at the competitive side of figure skating today and how it's developed, um, they certainly clash quite a bit, um, in the 1990s, um, after the whole scandal with, uh, Nancy Kerrigan and Tonya Harding skating was absolutely huge.You couldn't turn on your television on a Saturday. Without having, uh, three different channels, having a professional, a professional competition or an ice show, um, that we're usually competing with competing with each other. And the market is so saturated that by the late nineties, um, perhaps early two thousands, it just absolutely went Kaboom.

A lot of listeners want to know where Tom and Ray latched onto phrases like 'Don't drive like my Brother!' or 'No matter what it is, it's gonna cost you $200, if that's what it is.' Well ok, very few listeners actually asked, but the puzzler's still on vacation and there's a lot of air time to fill, alright? Enjoy this week's offering from the 'Car Talk Folklore Dissemination Division': "Sonja Henie's Tutu!'

Sonja Henie var norskan som inte nöjde sig med att revolutionera och dominera isdansen. När hon lade skridskorna på hyllan hade hon redan siktet inställt på Hollywood, och allt annat än succé vore ett misslyckande. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Fornuftens stemme, også kjent som Hanne, har tatt seg fri fra guttegarderobens gufne griseri, og de gjenværende kulturtantene benytter anledningen til å begi seg ut på en ordentlig tøvete ekskursjon ned i sjangerfilmens dypeste avgrunner. Med supervikar Skjalg på laget forsøker Arne og Ida å kåre tidenes beste sportsfilm. Er «Rocky» bedre enn «Raging Bull»? Har kvinnfolk noe på en fotballbane å gjøre? Er det egentlig noen som har sett «Chariots of Fire», og kan nostalgitripper som «Mighty Ducks» og «Space Jam» velte forhåndsfavoritter som «Miracle» og «Air Bud: Golden Receiver» når dommerne er sveiseblinde på billig børst?Dette er typisk locker room talk på det aller grimmeste, og diskusjonen blir så lang at vi er nødt til å dele den i to omganger.

Rose's stories about her hometown are a staple of The Golden Girls, whether you love them or not. To open our second season, Golden Girls Sports will spotlight the games of St. Olaf, like ice skating, ice fishing and logrolling, which wasn't just athletic competition, but also a means of legal mediation and a bellwether of personal beauty. We'll also talk about Olympians that were referenced on the show including Sonja Henie, Jesse Owens and Jim Thorpe. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

For tiden jobber hun hardt med å kunne gå på skøyter på en overbevisende måte, slik at hun kan spille Sonja Henie på film. Historien om Sonja er også en historie om ensomhet og i et lite filmklipp der superstjerna spiser pommes frites fikk Ine plutselig direkte tilgang til mennesket Sonja Henie. På kveldstid står hun på scenen i teaterstykket "Hvem har æren", en komedie om æresdrap. Hun håper forestillinga kan minne oss på om at dette er ting som foregår i vårt eget land jevnlig og som må protesteres mot. Også forklarer hun hvordan det føles når man blir krøllete i hodet av å gjøre mange forskjellige ting på en gang. Ragnhild hyller alle kolleger og fellesskapet som hjelper oss gjennom livet.

Hørt om Gressholmen lufthavn? Ikke det, nei? I mellomkrigstiden var dette landets hovedflyplass, der Knut Hamsun, Sonja Henie og mange andre i sin tid ventet på forbindelsen ut til den store verden. Reporter: Halfdan Bleken

On the Minnesota rinks where I spent many days of my childhood, the skates made the man–or the boy, to be more accurate. Hockey skates had a boot of tough leather and a reinforced toe to protect against sticks and pucks, like work boots mounted on thick, sharp, rounded blades. In contrast, girls wore figure skates. The boots were made of softer leather, laced high up the ankle, with a tapered toe. And of course, the girls’ boots were white, whereas our hockey skates were black, preferably with plenty of scuffs. There were figure skates for boys and men, and these also had a black boot. But rare was the male who stepped on my neighborhood’s outdoor rink with figure skates. The few times it did happen, heads turned, fingers pointed, and the teasing was cruel. “Fairy nice skates” is what the boys said. Although we didn’t realize it, our taunts expressed a deep-rooted stereotype in the United States and Canada: figure skating is an activity for girls, and men who skate are certainly effeminate, and most likely gay. Like most stereotypes associated with gender, this view of figure skating as inherently feminine was not always held. A century ago, figure skaters were almost all men, and their performances were regarded as exhibitions of controlled and graceful athleticism. Only since World War II has skating come to be viewed, in North America, as an activity for cute, pixieish girls and dandy men with a taste for sequins. Periodically, there have been attempts to draw more boys into the sport, with the spotlight placed on the athleticism of a Dick Button or the ruggedness of an Elvis Stojko. But the boys on the rinks of Minnesota or Ontario, and their parents, are hard to convince. Sociologist Mary Louise Adams examines this gender history of figure skating in her book Artistic Impressions: Figure Skating, Masculinity, and the Limits of Sport (University of Toronto Press, 2011). As even she discovered in her research, the transformation of the sport is surprising. Our interview, and her book, reveal how influential a single athlete–in this case, Olympic champion Sonja Henie–can be for the popularity and the perceptions of a sport. And Mary Louise raises the troubling point that now, in an age of women’s boxing, rugby, and water polo, the gender limitations in sports might not be on what girls are able to do, but on what boys are allowed.
