Page 91 of "For Your Own Good Hidden Cruelty in Child-Rearing and the Roots of Violence." by Alice Miller, 1980 - (Am Anfang war Erziehung, 1980) / Chapter 7 of "Another Time" by @imadewritingmyjob on Ao3.

Theres so much I can analyse from chapter seven in regards of Julius, and the interesting language he uses which was highlighted in this post. It's clear in Julius' speech highlighted in the post that he is both parroting his own fears about what he could be himself, a "pansy" or "weak", descriptors that Julius despises in others, and most certainly fears to be true about himself.

Alongside the quote "The child's plasticity, flexibility, defenselessness and avaliablity make it the ideal object for this projection," particularly stuck out in regards to Aaron, since in AT as a child he has a heightened sensitivity to his surrounding, compared to Franklin due to being a much younger child and also autistic, and Julius definitely did not like to deal with that further vulnerability of his younger son, hence treated him much much worse as a result of that fear and disgust Julius holds.

It also implies failure on his part to "toughen" Aaron up as well, and in his mind he is too perfect to "fail" to parent the desirable son. Instead in Julius' own mind, its soley the child's (Aaron's) fault for his own flaws, as it is believed and stated in the practice of poisonous pedagogy Miller speaks about.

And so punishment and retribution is the only way Julius expresses his negative feelings of that failure and percived disobedience/disrespect from Aaron, in the form of those training sessions, not to truly prepare Aaron from the horror's he'd seen at war, but rather punish and also discipline what Julius sees as a part of himself which is wholly unprepared, something which the older man cannot allow, lest he allow an extention of himself and also his property to be harmed in the process.

Vanessa Etienne, Liz McNeil, and Jenny Haward at People Magazine:

Dr. Ruth Westheimer, the sex therapist who became a pop culture phenomenon in the 1980s for her frank and humorous approach to human sexuality, has died. She was 96. The one-time radio talk show host died on Friday, July 12, her publicist, Pierre Lehu, who co-authored books with Westheimer, confirmed to PEOPLE on Saturday, July 13. "She was restful when she passed away. Her son and daughter were with her and holding her hand at that moment," Lehu says, adding, "It was as peacefully as she could possibly go. She was 96." He continued of his late friend, "It's amazing, there was stuff still going on in her life [she has a book coming out this fall with Allison Gilbert] and someone wants to make a biopic about her."

[...]

Westheimer was born Karola Ruth Siegel on June 4, 1928, in Wiesenfeld, Germany.

A Jewish refugee, Westheimer called herself “an orphan of the Holocaust” after losing her entire family during World War II. Her father, Julius, was taken away by the Nazis in 1938. Approximately six weeks later, her mother and grandmother put her on a train to Switzerland as part of the ‘”kindertransport,” the organized escape of thousands of Jewish children out of Germany. After the war, she emigrated to Palestine in 1945, where she began going by her middle name, Ruth, and was trained to be a sniper for the Israeli Army. From there, she moved to Paris to study psychology at Sorbonne University and then, New York City. Twice married and divorced, she met Manfred Westheimer, a telecommunications engineer and fellow Jewish refugee, in 1961. He became her third husband, and she called their 36-year union her “real marriage.”

Dr. Ruth Westheimer died at 96. Westheimer was best known for providing sex therapy advice. She also played Dr. Wordheimer on PBS's Between The Lions.

January to April 2004. Fans of MY ADVENTURES WITH SUPERMAN would likely enjoy this poignant 2004 miniseries by Kurt Busiek and Stuart Immonen, about a young man named Clark Kent in a world very much like ours, where Superman is a familiar — and fictional — pop culture icon. Clark grows up the butt of many jokes, but when he's in high school, he discovers that he really does have powers like Superman's, something that has no precedent in his world outside of comic books.

If this premise sounds familiar, it's because it's a lot like the origin of the Earth-Prime Superboy, before he became a way for Geoff Johns to mock comics fans (and for DC to play out its institutional hostility toward Siegel and Shuster). In the pre-Crisis era, Earth-Prime, one of editor Julius Schwartz's little jokes, was supposed to be our world, where comics artists, writers, and editors transcribed the adventures of the real heroes of the other Earths. In the afterword to the trade paperback compilation of SECRET IDENTITY, Busiek admits that the similarities were wholly intentional, and that while he didn't mention it in his proposal (and DC didn't advertise it as such), this was essentially his extrapolation of that 1985 concept by Elliot S! Maggin, Curt Swan, and Al Williamson.

After moving to New York City in his '20s, this Clark becomes a reporter — though not for the Daily Planet — and meets a young woman named Lois Chaudhari. To my knowledge, this was the first time a counterpart of Lois Lane was presented as an Asian woman (although of course she's not precisely Lois Lane).

Throughout most of the story, Clark uses his powers only in secret, but he does make himself a Superman costume. Eventually, he feels compelled to come clean with Lois:

Like Busiek's ASTRO CITY, SECRET IDENTITY is a very introspective story, less interested in action (of which there's relatively little) than in emotion and small observations of life with superhuman abilities. If you're expecting bigger dramatic stakes, you may find the series underwhelming — there are no supervillains or alien invasions, just Clark's reflections on his life and family, from childhood to old age — and the fact that the story never reveals why Clark has powers may frustrate. However, its autumnal wistfulness is appealing if you're in the right frame of mind for it. Immonen's art is gorgeous, and I can't think of a better artist for this story, which straddles the line between a real-world environment and the "heroic realism" of the modern superhero genre.

Fourteen years later, Busiek tried to do a similar story with Batman, BATMAN: CREATURE OF THE NIGHT, with John Paul Leon, which doesn't work nearly as well, wallowing in some uncomfortable attitudes about mental illness and an inappropriate though deliberately ambiguous supernatural element. Leon's art is interesting, but the story leaves a sour taste, and it does not succeed (at all) in doing for Batman what SECRET IDENTITY does for Superman, which is disappointing.

According to Julius Schwartz, Jerry Siegel corresponded with Chicago newspaper reporter and science fiction fan, Walter Dennis in 1930 and with Joe Shuster used his likeness to co-create Clark Kent, alter-ego of Superman in Action Comics, 1938. Clark came from the name Clark Gable and Kent, from actor Kent Taylor.

Ida Lupino (4 February 1918 – 3 August 1995) was an English-American actress, singer, director, and producer. She is widely regarded as the most prominent female filmmaker working in the 1950s during the Hollywood studio system. With her independent production company, she co-wrote and co-produced several social-message films and became the first woman to direct a film noir with The Hitch-Hiker in 1953. Among her other directed films the best known are Not Wanted about unwed pregnancy (she took over for a sick director and refused directorial credit), Never Fear (1949) loosely based upon her own experiences battling paralyzing polio, Outrage (1950) one of the first films about rape, The Bigamist (1953) (which was named in the book 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die) and The Trouble with Angels (1966).

Throughout her 48-year career, she made acting appearances in 59 films and directed eight others, working primarily in the United States, where she became a citizen in 1948. As an actress her best known films are The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (1939) with Basil Rathbone, They Drive by Night (1940) with George Raft and Humphrey Bogart, High Sierra (1941) with Bogart, The Sea Wolf (1941) with Edward G. Robinson and John Garfield, Ladies in Retirement (1941) with Louis Hayward, Moontide (1942) with Jean Gabin, The Hard Way (1943), Deep Valley (1947) with Dane Clark, Road House (1948) with Cornel Wilde and Richard Widmark, While the City Sleeps (1956) with Dana Andrews and Vincent Price. and Junior Bonner (1972) with Steve McQueen.

She also directed more than 100 episodes of television productions in a variety of genres including westerns, supernatural tales, situation comedies, murder mysteries, and gangster stories. She was the only woman to direct an episode of the original The Twilight Zone series ("The Masks"), as well as the only director to have starred in an episode of the show ("The Sixteen-Millimeter Shrine").

Lupino was born in Herne Hill, London, to actress Connie O'Shea (also known as Connie Emerald) and music hall comedian Stanley Lupino, a member of the theatrical Lupino family, which included Lupino Lane, a song-and-dance man. Her father, a top name in musical comedy in the UK and a member of a centuries-old theatrical dynasty dating back to Renaissance Italy, encouraged her to perform at an early age. He built a backyard theatre for Lupino and her sister Rita (1920–2016), who also became an actress and dancer. Lupino wrote her first play at age seven and toured with a travelling theatre company as a child. By the age of ten, Lupino had memorised the leading female roles in each of Shakespeare's plays. After her intense childhood training for stage plays, Ida's uncle Lupino Lane assisted her in moving towards film acting by getting her work as a background actress at British International Studios.

She wanted to be a writer, but in order to please her father, Lupino enrolled in the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. She excelled in a number of "bad girl" film roles, often playing prostitutes. Lupino did not enjoy being an actress and felt uncomfortable with many of the early roles she was given. She felt that she was pushed into the profession due to her family history.

Lupino worked as both a stage and screen actress. She first took to the stage in 1934 as the lead in The Pursuit of Happiness at the Paramount Studio Theatre.[10] Lupino made her first film appearance in The Love Race (1931) and the following year, aged 14, she worked under director Allan Dwan in Her First Affaire, in a role for which her mother had previously tested.[11] She played leading roles in five British films in 1933 at Warner Bros.' Teddington studios and for Julius Hagen at Twickenham, including The Ghost Camera with John Mills and I Lived with You with Ivor Novello.

Dubbed "the English Jean Harlow", she was discovered by Paramount in the 1933 film Money for Speed, playing a good girl/bad girl dual role. Lupino claimed the talent scouts saw her play only the sweet girl in the film and not the part of the prostitute, so she was asked to try out for the lead role in Alice in Wonderland (1933). When she arrived in Hollywood, the Paramount producers did not know what to make of their sultry potential leading lady, but she did get a five-year contract.

Lupino starred in over a dozen films in the mid-1930s, working with Columbia in a two-film deal, one of which, The Light That Failed (1939), was a role she acquired after running into the director's office unannounced, demanding an audition. After this breakthrough performance as a spiteful cockney model who torments Ronald Colman, she began to be taken seriously as a dramatic actress. As a result, her parts improved during the 1940s, and she jokingly referred to herself as "the poor man's Bette Davis", taking the roles that Davis refused.

Mark Hellinger, associate producer at Warner Bros., was impressed by Lupino's performance in The Light That Failed, and hired her for the femme-fatale role in the Raoul Walsh-directed They Drive by Night (1940), opposite stars George Raft, Ann Sheridan and Humphrey Bogart. The film did well and the critical consensus was that Lupino stole the movie, particularly in her unhinged courtroom scene. Warner Bros. offered her a contract which she negotiated to include some freelance rights. She worked with Walsh and Bogart again in High Sierra (1941), where she impressed critic Bosley Crowther in her role as an "adoring moll".

Her performance in The Hard Way (1943) won the New York Film Critics Circle Award for Best Actress. She starred in Pillow to Post (1945), which was her only comedic leading role. After the drama Deep Valley (1947) finished shooting, neither Warner Bros. nor Lupino moved to renew her contract and she left the studio in 1947. Although in demand throughout the 1940s, she arguably never became a major star although she often had top billing in her pictures, above actors such as Humphrey Bogart, and was repeatedly critically lauded for her realistic, direct acting style.

She often incurred the ire of studio boss Jack Warner by objecting to her casting, refusing poorly written roles that she felt were beneath her dignity as an actress, and making script revisions deemed unacceptable by the studio. As a result, she spent a great deal of her time at Warner Bros. suspended. In 1942, she rejected an offer to star with Ronald Reagan in Kings Row, and was immediately put on suspension at the studio. Eventually, a tentative rapprochement was brokered, but her relationship with the studio remained strained. In 1947, Lupino left Warner Brothers and appeared for 20th Century Fox as a nightclub singer in the film noir Road House, performing her musical numbers in the film. She starred in On Dangerous Ground in 1951, and may have taken on some of the directing tasks of the film while director Nicholas Ray was ill.

While on suspension, Lupino had ample time to observe filming and editing processes, and she became interested in directing. She described how bored she was on set while "someone else seemed to be doing all the interesting work".

She and her husband Collier Young formed an independent company, The Filmakers, to produce, direct, and write low-budget, issue-oriented films. Her first directing job came unexpectedly in 1949 when director Elmer Clifton suffered a mild heart attack and was unable to finish Not Wanted, a film Lupino co-produced and co-wrote. Lupino stepped in to finish the film without taking directorial credit out of respect for Clifton. Although the film's subject of out-of-wedlock pregnancy was controversial, it received a vast amount of publicity, and she was invited to discuss the film with Eleanor Roosevelt on a national radio program.

Never Fear (1949), a film about polio (which she had personally experienced replete with paralysis at age 16), was her first director's credit. After producing four more films about social issues, including Outrage (1950), a film about rape (while this word is never used in the movie), Lupino directed her first hard-paced, all-male-cast film, The Hitch-Hiker (1953), making her the first woman to direct a film noir. The Filmakers went on to produce 12 feature films, six of which Lupino directed or co-directed, five of which she wrote or co-wrote, three of which she acted in, and one of which she co-produced.

Lupino once called herself a "bulldozer" to secure financing for her production company, but she referred to herself as "mother" while on set. On set, the back of her director's chair was labeled "Mother of Us All".[3] Her studio emphasized her femininity, often at the urging of Lupino herself. She credited her refusal to renew her contract with Warner Bros. under the pretenses of domesticity, claiming "I had decided that nothing lay ahead of me but the life of the neurotic star with no family and no home." She made a point to seem nonthreatening in a male-dominated environment, stating, "That's where being a man makes a great deal of difference. I don't suppose the men particularly care about leaving their wives and children. During the vacation period, the wife can always fly over and be with him. It's difficult for a wife to say to her husband, come sit on the set and watch."

Although directing became Lupino's passion, the drive for money kept her on camera, so she could acquire the funds to make her own productions. She became a wily low-budget filmmaker, reusing sets from other studio productions and talking her physician into appearing as a doctor in the delivery scene of Not Wanted. She used what is now called product placement, placing Coke, Cadillac, and other brands in her films, such as The Bigamist. She shot in public places to avoid set-rental costs and planned scenes in pre-production to avoid technical mistakes and retakes. She joked that if she had been the "poor man's Bette Davis" as an actress, she had now become the "poor man's Don Siegel" as a director.

The Filmakers production company closed shop in 1955, and Lupino turned almost immediately to television, directing episodes of more than thirty US TV series from 1956 through 1968. She also helmed a feature film in 1965 for the Catholic schoolgirl comedy The Trouble With Angels, starring Hayley Mills and Rosalind Russell; this was Lupino's last theatrical film as a director. She continued acting as well, going on to a successful television career throughout the 1960s and '70s.

Lupino's career as a director continued through 1968. Her directing efforts during these years were almost exclusively for television productions such as Alfred Hitchcock Presents, Thriller, The Twilight Zone, Have Gun – Will Travel, Honey West, The Donna Reed Show, Gilligan's Island, 77 Sunset Strip, The Rifleman, The Virginian, Sam Benedict, The Untouchables, Hong Kong, The Fugitive, and Bewitched.

After the demise of The Filmakers, Lupino continued working as an actress until the end of the 1970s, mainly in television. Lupino appeared in 19 episodes of Four Star Playhouse from 1952 to 1956, an endeavor involving partners Charles Boyer, Dick Powell and David Niven. From January 1957 to September 1958, Lupino starred with her then-husband Howard Duff in the sitcom Mr. Adams and Eve, in which the duo played husband-and-wife film stars named Howard Adams and Eve Drake, living in Beverly Hills, California.[22] Duff and Lupino also co-starred as themselves in 1959 in one of the 13 one-hour installments of The Lucy–Desi Comedy Hour and an episode of The Dinah Shore Chevy Show in 1960. Lupino guest-starred in numerous television shows, including The Ford Television Theatre (1954), Bonanza (1959), Burke's Law (1963–64), The Virginian (1963–65), Batman (1968), The Mod Squad (1969), Family Affair (1969–70), The Wild, Wild West (1969), Nanny and the Professor (1971), Columbo: Short Fuse (1972), Columbo: Swan Song (1974) in which she plays Johnny Cash's character's zealous wife, Barnaby Jones (1974), The Streets of San Francisco, Ellery Queen (1975), Police Woman (1975), and Charlie's Angels (1977). Her final acting appearance was in the 1979 film My Boys Are Good Boys.

Lupino has two distinctions with The Twilight Zone series, as the only woman to have directed an episode ("The Masks") and the only person to have worked as both actor for one episode ("The Sixteen-Millimeter Shrine"), and director for another.

Lupino's Filmakers movies deal with unconventional and controversial subject matter that studio producers would not touch, including out-of-wedlock pregnancy, bigamy, and rape. She described her independent work as "films that had social significance and yet were entertainment ... base on true stories, things the public could understand because they had happened or been of news value." She focused on women's issues for many of her films and she liked strong characters, "[Not] women who have masculine qualities about them, but [a role] that has intestinal fortitude, some guts to it."

In the film The Bigamist, the two women characters represent the career woman and the homemaker. The title character is married to a woman (Joan Fontaine) who, unable to have children, has devoted her energy to her career. While on one of many business trips, he meets a waitress (Lupino) with whom he has a child, and then marries her.[25] Marsha Orgeron, in her book Hollywood Ambitions, describes these characters as "struggling to figure out their place in environments that mirror the social constraints that Lupino faced".[13] However, Donati, in his biography of Lupino, said "The solutions to the character's problems within the films were often conventional, even conservative, more reinforcing the 1950s' ideology than undercutting it."

Ahead of her time within the studio system, Lupino was intent on creating films that were rooted in reality. On Never Fear, Lupino said, "People are tired of having the wool pulled over their eyes. They pay out good money for their theatre tickets and they want something in return. They want realism. And you can't be realistic with the same glamorous mugs on the screen all the time."

Lupino's films are critical of many traditional social institutions, which reflect her contempt for the patriarchal structure that existed in Hollywood. Lupino rejected the commodification of female stars and as an actress, she resisted becoming an object of desire. She said in 1949, "Hollywood careers are perishable commodities", and sought to avoid such a fate for herself.

Ida Lupino was diagnosed with polio in 1934. The New York Times reported that the outbreak of polio within the Hollywood community was due to contaminated swimming pools. The disease severely affected her ability to work, and her contract with Paramount fell apart shortly after her diagnosis. Lupino recovered and eventually directed, produced, and wrote many films, including a film loosely based upon her travails with polio titled Never Fear in 1949, the first film that she was credited for directing (she had earlier stepped in for an ill director on Not Wanted and refused directorial credit out of respect for her colleague). Her experience with the disease gave Lupino the courage to focus on her intellectual abilities over simply her physical appearance. In an interview with Hollywood, Lupino said, "I realized that my life and my courage and my hopes did not lie in my body. If that body was paralyzed, my brain could still work industriously...If I weren't able to act, I would be able to write. Even if I weren't able to use a pencil or typewriter, I could dictate."[31] Film magazines from the 1930s and 1940s, such as The Hollywood Reporter and Motion Picture Daily, frequently published updates on her condition. Lupino worked for various non-profit organizations to help raise funds for polio research.

Lupino's interests outside the entertainment industry included writing short stories and children's books, and composing music. Her composition "Aladdin's Suite" was performed by the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra in 1937. She composed this piece while on bedrest due to polio in 1935.

She became an American citizen in June 1948 and a staunch Democrat who supported the presidency of John F. Kennedy. Lupino was Catholic.

Lupino died from a stroke while undergoing treatment for colon cancer in Los Angeles on 3 August 1995, at the age of 77. Her memoirs, Ida Lupino: Beyond the Camera, were edited after her death and published by Mary Ann Anderson.

Lupino learned filmmaking from everyone she observed on set, including William Ziegler, the cameraman for Not Wanted. When in preproduction on Never Fear, she conferred with Michael Gordon on directorial technique, organization, and plotting. Cinematographer Archie Stout said of Ms. Lupino, "Ida has more knowledge of camera angles and lenses than any director I've ever worked with, with the exception of Victor Fleming. She knows how a woman looks on the screen and what light that woman should have, probably better than I do." Lupino also worked with editor Stanford Tischler, who said of her, "She wasn't the kind of director who would shoot something, then hope any flaws could be fixed in the cutting room. The acting was always there, to her credit."

Author Ally Acker compares Lupino to pioneering silent-film director Lois Weber for their focus on controversial, socially relevant topics. With their ambiguous endings, Lupino's films never offered simple solutions for her troubled characters, and Acker finds parallels to her storytelling style in the work of the modern European "New Wave" directors, such as Margarethe von Trotta.

Ronnie Scheib, who issued a Kino release of three of Lupino's films, likens Lupino's themes and directorial style to directors Nicholas Ray, Sam Fuller, and Robert Aldrich, saying, "Lupino very much belongs to that generation of modernist filmmakers." On whether Lupino should be considered a feminist filmmaker, Scheib states, "I don't think Lupino was concerned with showing strong people, men or women. She often said that she was interested in lost, bewildered people, and I think she was talking about the postwar trauma of people who couldn't go home again."

Author Richard Koszarski noted Lupino's choice to play with gender roles regarding women's film stereotypes during the studio era: "Her films display the obsessions and consistencies of a true auteur... In her films The Bigamist and The Hitch-Hiker, Lupino was able to reduce the male to the same sort of dangerous, irrational force that women represented in most male-directed examples of Hollywood film noir."

Lupino did not openly consider herself a feminist, saying, "I had to do something to fill up my time between contracts. Keeping a feminine approach is vital — men hate bossy females ... Often I pretended to a cameraman to know less than I did. That way I got more cooperation." Village Voice writer Carrie Rickey, though, holds Lupino up as a model of modern feminist filmmaking: "Not only did Lupino take control of production, direction, and screenplay, but [also] each of her movies addresses the brutal repercussions of sexuality, independence and dependence."

By 1972, Lupino said she wished more women were hired as directors and producers in Hollywood, noting that only very powerful actresses or writers had the chance to work in the field. She directed or costarred a number of times with young, fellow British actresses on a similar journey of developing their American film careers like Hayley Mills and Pamela Franklin.

Actress Bea Arthur, best remembered for her work in Maude and The Golden Girls, was motivated to escape her stifling hometown by following in Lupino's footsteps and becoming an actress, saying, "My dream was to become a very small blonde movie star like Ida Lupino and those other women I saw up there on the screen during the Depression."

Lupino has two stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for contributions to the fields of television and film — located at 1724 Vine Street and 6821 Hollywood Boulevard.

NOTES: Beautiful HD capture of one of the Final Dress Rehearsals. Top notch production and thrilling performances from Alice, Keaton, and the whole cast! This is quite a unique capture since it was the first time the blood was dropped. Too many amazing things to point out here, don't miss this one!!! A+ Well filmed with a nice mix of close-ups and full stage shots and no obstructions. Based on the revised Off-Broadway version, and presented at the Balagan Theatre. Because this was recorded at the final run-through prior to opening night, there are a few “holds” as they worked out any kinks: * After “Evening Prayers” there is a hold to change all microphone batteries, resulting in most of the song being run a second time (the sound check was removed and put as a bonus at the end of act two). * During the scene where Carrie is getting ready for the prom a microphone made a "farting" noise and Alice grabbed her butt and said "sorry" which made the cast and tech crew laugh.

Carrie: The Musical - Stagedoor Manor - July 31, 1999

FORMAT:  MP4 (SD)

CAST: Julie Kleiner (Carrie White), Vivienne Cleary (Margaret White), Nina Sturtz (Miss Gardner), Kaily Smith (Chris), Erin Evers (Sue), Blair Late (Tommy)

NOTES: Another abridged version. Video suffers from gen loss but has cleaned up decently. Piano is the only instrument in the orchestra, and it drowns out some of the singers. This has been incorrectly labelled as an authorized production,which is incorrect - this was an unauthorized production (e.g., no rights were secured before the production), though Gore (and Cohen) were in the audience of this performance and chose not to sue Jeff Murphy and Stagedoor over copyright infringement, partly because Gore said he had always wanted to see the show done with actual teenagers (reported by Jeff Murphy, the director).

Shot from first row mezzanine center with no obstructions with audio taken directly from the soundboard. Mostly a full stage shots without zooms. This is usually incorrectly labelled as "Opening Night (February 13, 1988)", which is incorrect, as on opening night, Barbara Cook was almost decapitated right after the set changes from "Don't Waste The Moon", which not seen in this video (also verified by the person who copied this from the archives).

NOTES: Great HD capture of this Judy Garland bio musical focusing on her early years, leading up to The Wizard of Oz, with a couple of fun tap numbers! Act One starts when Judy sings a version of Somewhere Over the Rainbow (same tune but with different lyrics). Act Two starts part way through the number right before they enter the MGM studio.

NOTES: Beautiful HD close-ups but some long drop-outs and quite a few obstructed scenes. The rake in the mezzanine at the Neil Simon kinda stinks and I'm pretty sure the ushers were playing flashlight tag with each other the entire show. but I began to care a lot less as the night went on Video is very Cher-centric...choreography in "Dark Lady" is captured beautifully, but for the rest of the show I was mostly focused on getting those Stephanie, Teal, and Micaela zooms. We start at the scene before "Half Breed" and when Stephanie tells everyone to stand up for the finale it's all over for my filming ability.

CAST: Robert LuPone (Zach), Thommie Walsh (Bobby Strong), Clive Clerk (Larry), Ron Khulman (Don), Kay Cole (Maggie), Wayne Cilento (Mike), Baayork Lee (Connie), Michael Stuart (Greg), Donna McKechnie (Cassie), Kelly Bishop (Sheila), Nancy Lane (Bebe), Patricia Garland (Judy), Ronald Dennis (Richie), Don Percassi (Al), Renne Baughman (Kristine), Pam Blair (Val), Cameron Mason (Mark), Sammy Williams (Paul), Priscilla Lopez (Diana)

NOTES: The original Broadway cast filmed prior to moving to Broadway. Professionally filmed using multiple cameras for the Lincoln Center Theatre on Film and Tape (TOFT) archives. Newly surfaced video which is a HUGE improvement over the previous version which has been in circulation for a while. This is also complete and includes the opening announcement alerting the audience that the show is being filmed. Amazing quality, but still has a little generational loss. In black and white. The DVD has been enhanced with chapter stops for all of the musical numbers. This, along with the tapes of Crazy for You and Passion, is amongst the only three TOFT tapes that have been leaked.

FORMAT:  MP4 (HD)

CAST: Zoe Gertz (Beverley/Annette & others), Douglas Hansell (Kevin T./Garth & others), Richard Piper (Claude & others), Simon Maiden (Oz & others), Sarah Morrison (Janice & others), Nicholas Brown (Kevin J./Ali & others), Nathan Carter (Nick/Doug & others), Katrina Retallick (Diane & others), Sharriese Hamilton (Hannah & others), Emma Powell (Beulah & others), Kellie Rode (Bonnie & others), Kolby Kindle (Bob & others)

NOTES: HD capture of the Australian company of this fantastic musical. Includes a video of a post-show Q&A with the cast in honour of the 18th anniversary of September 12. Shot from the back row of the dress circle, so a head blocks the centre at times but it’s shot around where possible. Most noticeable in the group numbers where a lot of the action is downstage. The first 4 minutes or so is mostly wandering shots as I was setting up my camera and evading ushers. A lot of great close-ups - Zoe’s “Me and the Sky” is a highlight.

Come From Away - Toronto - January 7, 2020 (The Musical Speakeasy's master)

FORMAT:  MP4 (HD)

CAST: Eliza-Jane Scott (Beverley/Annette & others), Jeff Madden (Kevin T./Garth & others), George Masswohl (Claude & others), Cory O’Brien (Oz & others), Cailin Stadnyk (u/s Janice & others), Ali Momen (Kevin J./Ali & others), Clint Butler (u/s Nick/Doug & others), Barbara Fulton (Diane & others), Kate Etienne (u/s Hannah & others), Lori Nancy Kalamanski (u/s Beulah & others), Kristen Peace (Bonnie & others), Kevin Vidal (Bob & others)

NOTES: As far as I know, the first ever video of the Toronto production! I had the entire show in VOB format ready to post but, unfortunately, I lost the USB it was on in the middle of an airport. Luckily I was able to salvage all but thirty minutes of the original footage, so all that's lost is part of the scene after "I Am Here" and a portion of "Somewhere In The Middle Of Nowhere". If you find a USB the size of a thumbnail around Pearson, it's a $5 reward! A flu passed around the cast that they were all just recovering from, and at one point you can see Bev take a tissue out of her pilot's jacket and blow her nose. It explains the large number of understudies on, particularly of interest is that of the role of Hannah being played by a Caucasian actress, which causes her absence for the bus scene and leads to a severely different dynamic I'd not seen the character played as before.

NOTES: The bottom left of the video is slightly obstructed by a lighting rail. The master accidentally stop recording during '38 Planes' but realized right away so it’s only missing a second or two. Some nice close-ups. Clive misses the cue for the first “Welcome to the Rock!”

NOTES: Incomplete: starts 12 mins in. Shot around heads. The combination of the revolve and the lighting of this show might make it a jolty watch but the action is caught as best as possible. If I had to decide who to film, I chose Rachel Tucker.

NOTES: My first video ever. I couldn’t see what I was filming so the camera has a tendency to film upward toward the ceiling. You can hear me laugh pretty loudly since I was holding the camera close to my face.

According to Julius Schwartz, Jerry Siegel corresponded with Chicago newspaper reporter and science fiction fan, Walter Dennis in 1930 and with Joe Shuster used his likeness to co-create Clark Kent, alter-ego of #Superman in Action Comics, 1938. Clark came from the name Clark Gable and Kent, from actor Kent Taylor. https://www.instagram.com/p/CM8nMk4hDB7/?igshid=7x1gfzkftple

The Sheet Music of Cellist Carlo Fischer

Minneapolis Central Library is home to an extensive and notable sheet music collection. In addition to purchases, the collection has been built by donations from many local professional and amateur musicians. One such person is Carlo Fischer.

Carlo Fischer was born in Washington, D.C. on November 20, 1872 and died in Minneapolis on June 2, 1954. “By the time he was 6, Fischer had but one ambition. That was to be a cellist. Lessons were begun with Ernest Lent, a pupil of the distinguished cellist Julius Klengel of Leipzig, and later at the Dr. Hoch’s conservatory with Bernhard Cossmann and Hugo Becker.”[1]

After living and working in Europe for several years, he returned to the United States and spent three years at the first desk of the Pittsburgh Symphony under Victor Herbert. He came to Minneapolis in 1902 to teach at Northwestern Conservatory and was solo cellist at the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra’s first concert on November 5, 1903. However, due to a previous contractual obligation, he wouldn’t become a permanent member of the Minneapolis Symphony until 1906.

In addition to cellist, Carlo served the Orchestra in many capacities including assistant manager, manager, program annotator, announcer for young people’s concerts, manager of broadcasting and publicity, and librarian. Until his retirement in 1944, Carlo “had complete charge over the editing and publishing the programs—a responsibility which began in 1911.” He established the orchestra’s reference library in 1911 and “began a card file system which covers the conductors of the orchestra, every musician who has been a member along with their years of service, and every guest conductor and artist who has appeared in concert with it.” In his own words, he was the “one-man band” of the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra.

Carlo Fischer was a well-known and popular figure. His obituary appeared on the front page of the Minneapolis Star and the first program of the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra’s 1954-55 season included a full-page tribute to him. He is buried in Lakewood Cemetery.

Based on shelflist notations, Fischer made a substantial donation of scores to the Minneapolis Public Library in September, 1942 and the 1955 Music Department Annual Report includes a reference that “Carlo Fischer’s music brought us some unusual cello material” (presumably part of his estate). Within these donations are several rare and unique scores that are particularly noteworthy.

Dotzauer, J. J. F. Introduction et rondeau pour le violoncelle, avec accompagnement de deux violons, alto, et basse (flute ad lib.) (ou de piano forte), op. 78. (Bonn : N. Simrock ; Paris : Ade. Farrenc, between 1827 and 1829) - HCL has the version for cello and piano, and, in addition to being nearly 200 years old, HCL owns one of only four documented copies in Worldcat.

Haydn, Joseph. Concerto pour violoncelle avec accompagnement d’orchestre ou de piano, op. 101. (Offenbach s/M : Jean André, [186-])

Raff, Joachim. Concert für Violoncell mit Begleitung des Orchester, op. 193. (Leipzig : C.F.W. Siegel’s Musikalienhandlung, 1875?)

What makes these last two scores unique is that the cello parts each contain handwritten cadenzas signed “B. Cossmann.” Bernhard Cossmann was a noted 19th century cellist, composer, and pedagogue with whom Fischer studied. It is very likely that HCL owns the only existing examples of these cadenzas.

Carlo Fischer has been gone for 65 years and memories of him have faded, but his legacy lives on through his work with the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra and his contributions to the Minneapolis Public Library. Through his generosity and others like him, Hennepin County Library is the beneficiary of an extensive and notable printed music collection.

This post was researched and written by David Klaiber, Senior Librarian, Collection Management Services. See more photos of Fischer in the Hennepin County Library Digital Collections.

Bat-Tin-Tin

In the fall of 1954, Rin Tin Tin returned as a TV star in a new ABC series called THE ADVENTURES OF RIN TIN TIN. Of course, it wasn't the original Rinty, who died in 1932, but one of the dogs who played the character was allegedly a descendant of the first Rin Tin Tin. The show, which had a Western setting, proved popular, running for five seasons and 164 episodes.

Toward the end of the first season in 1955, a new supporting character debuted in BATMAN: Ace, The Bat-Hound.

Although signed by Bob Kane, this story was drawn by artist Sheldon Moldoff, who was Kane's ghost for many years. (Kane drew little if any Batman art after the feature's early years, although he had a much more favorable deal with National than Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster did with Superman, so he got more credit and a steady paycheck.) Moldoff later admitted that Ace was modeled on TV's Rin Tin Tin — not that that's a particular surprise to anyone.

This was another case of DC striking while the iron was hot; the TV show debuted in mid-October 1954 and this issue was on newsstands by the end of the following April.

Next, we come to a controversial point that is much-mocked among comics fans: why Ace has a mask. The story explains it this way:

So, the point is not that people might discover the dog's secret identity, but that Bruce Wayne has JUST published a series of prominent newspaper ads with pictures of this specific dog, presumably also calling attention to his distinctive markings. (The forehead markings are emphasized more in dialogue than in the actual art, but that's another matter.) As comic book origins go, this really isn't THAT ridiculous.

Naturally, Bat-Hound proves an invaluable aide to the Caped Crusaders. Movie and TV dogs normally wait for cues from their handlers, but heroic dog characters must be more proactive:

Batman and Robin subsequently discover that Bat-Hound belongs to a man named John Wilker, an engraver, who has mysteriously disappeared, leaving his suburban cottage a shambles. Later, Bat-Hound detects a familiar scent on the scene of a robbery at General Paper Company:

Note that despite the mask, John Wilker immediately recognizes his own dog, whose real name we learn is Ace. Unfortunately, the pooch is swiftly knocked out again.

Fortunately, Bat-Hound is only out for a while. Guessing that he'll come around soon, the captured Batman and Robin contrive a … dubious plan.

Amazingly, this works:

Note that a reporter does in fact recognize Ace from Bruce Wayne's newspaper ad, so at least within the context of the story, Bruce and Dick's concerns were valid. Maybe not the MOST plausible pretense for giving the dog a bat-mask, but an effort was made.

Ace did indeed become Bat-Hound again, appearing next in BATMAN #97 (February 1956). In his early appearances, he was still John Wilker's dog, requiring some plot contrivances to explain how he was able to hang around with Batman and Robin, but this was resolved in BATMAN #125 (August 1959):

Wilker obviously knew that Ace had been Bat-Hound in the incident in which Ace, Batman, and Robin rescued him, but in Ace's interim appearances, Wilker was out of town or out of the country during his Bat-Hound exploits, so I guess he just didn't hear that Bat-Hound had returned, or something? (Continuity is not the strongest suit of these stories; there's some, but it's not what you'd call rigorous.)

Ace continued to appear semi-regularly through 1964, his adventures growing progressively sillier, but when Julius Schwartz took over as editor of BATMAN and DETECTIVE and instituted the "New Look," Ace was one of the various elements discarded from the series without so much as a nod.

Other versions of Ace have popped up since then — Batman ended up adopting another dog he called Ace in the early '90s, and the elderly Bruce Wayne in the pilot of BATMAN BEYOND has a mean guard dog named Ace. Ace appeared in the KRYPTO animated series and made several appearances in the 2009–2011 BATMAN: THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD animated series. Most recently, a version of Ace appeared in the DC LEAGUE OF SUPER-PETS animated film, voiced by Kevin Hart; there, he's a shelter dog who befriends Krypto, and ends up gaining super-powers, which the original Ace never had.

There are people who really hate the concept of Bat-Hound, but I can say with assurance that there are far weirder (and far stupider) things in the vast lexicon of old Batman comics.

He's a good dog, Bront.

Dr. Dre And The Multi-Million Dollar Divorce

By Danny Siegel, University of Iowa Class of 2022

January 27, 2021

Famous Rapper and Producer Dr. Dre has recently been through one of the “messiest” divorces in recent memory. The famed artist has been fighting legal battles against ex-wife Nicole Young and is asking for “$2 Million a month in temporary spousal support” after their divorce filing. In addition to this extreme monetary request, she is also seeking an additional $5 Million in legal fees.[1] 

The couple split in June of this past year, after 24 years of marriage. Despite the separation, nothing has changed for the couple. Young still has access to Dre’s luxuries. Including their Malibu home, private chefs, all of their cars, and many other assets.

Like most Hollywood divorces, this courtship has come down to one main agenda: Money. Young claims that Dre tore up their prenup agreement after he felt "bad" for allegedly pressuring her into signing it. However, Dre claims the former couple signed an ironclad prenuptial agreement which would prevent him from losing a percentage of his sizable fortune after the couple got divorced.

After many months of legal battles trying to determine whether the prenup agreement is valid, Dr. Dre, whose real name is Andre Young, agreed to advance Nicole Young the $2 million sum she was seeking to cover her bills and other expenses on January 11th, 2021.[2][3]

Dre and his ex-spouse are due back in court on April 14th. Then, the couple will begin fighting for spousal support and legal fees. Dre suffered a brain aneurysm on January 5th. Assuming his recovery continues to progress, the proceedings will take place on that scheduled day.

Dre has now joined a potential list of celebrities who may be legally obligated to pay multi-millions of dollars to an ex-spouse. Joining celebrities such as Rupert Murdoch, Mel Gibson, Kenny Rogers, and Michael Douglas.

Dre has amassed a net worth of roughly $1 Billion. He will be able to buy the best legal protection in the United States. However, paying some sum for spousal support appears inevitable. Since 2010, there has been a reported 380,000 divorce cases ending with the female receiving some sum of support.[4]

Legal experts are predicting that this case will likely end sooner rather than later.  Peter Walzer, a Los Angeles-based family law firm partner, spoke on Dre's divorce. "She's going to get half of what he's worth. But the good news for Dr. Dre is she probably won't need spousal support. She asked for temporary support and she'll probably get it and that will be huge by our standards, it will be probably hundreds of thousands of dollars a month, and she'll be entitled to that." [5]  

Recently, Nicole Young has come out with new allegations against Dre. She claims to be a victim of both physical and emotional abuse. Dre has denied all of these allegations.  The prenup can only be terminated or altered through writing. As of now, there have been no new prenups presented in this case. Thus, the legal battles will continue as the former couple continues to fight over assets.

Assuming Dre's health progresses, the proceedings will continue sometime in the spring of 2021.[6]

Denny O'Neil passed away on June 11, 2020. He was born on May 3, 1939. He was a comic book writer and editor who wrote for Charlton, DC and Marvel and was an editor at both Marvel and DC. When Julius Schwartz became editor of the SUPERMAN title after Mort Weisinger's retirement, he asked Denny O'Neil to become the new writer for the series. He only lasted for a year before asking editor Schwartz to take him off the title because he found it hard to relate to an omnipotent character. This episode will feature O'Neil's Superman stories.

During the 2011 MegaCon, I attended a panel that Denny O'Neil was on: EPISODE 117 PART IV: COMICS WRITERS ON THE ART OF WRITING! posted on March 29, 2011.

Die Schwabentorbrücke - Die Schwabentorbrücke An dieser Stelle standen im Laufe der Jahrhunderte mehrere Brücken in Holz- oder Steinbauweise. Nachdem beim Jahrhunderthochwasser am 9. März 1896 zwei der drei Bögen der Steinbrücke weggerissen wurden, wurde eine Eisenbrücke an diesem Dreisamübergang errichtet. Die heutige moderne Betonbrücke stammt zu großen Teilen aus dem Jahre 1974, als die Eisenbrücke dem hohen Verkehrsbedarf und der Verkehrsführung der Leo-Wohleb-Straße angepasst wurde. In die Neukonstruktion wurden Elemente der Brücke von 1897 integriert, so zum Beispiel das gusseiserne Geländer mit den Wappenfeldern. Zur Brücke gehören zwei Türme und ein Brunnenhaus in neogotischer Bauweise und zwei in historisierender Weise von Julius Seitz gefertigte Skulpturen; diese stellen Albertus Magnus an der Nordseite und Martin Malterer mit Leopold III. von Habsburg an der Südseite dar. Die Brücke wurde so stilistisch dem Schwabentor angepasst. Der nördliche Turm diente der Hochwasserwache, der südliche beherbergte das Stellwerk für den Kronenmühlenkanal. Am Nordturm ist eine Tafel zur Erinnerung an die Geheimen Oberregierungsräte Karl Siegel und Leopold Sonntag angebracht, die in der Nacht vom 9. März 1896 trotz Warnung der Feuerwehr sich selbst von der Standfestigkeit der Brücke überzeugen wollten, beim Einsturz von den Wassern mitgerissen wurden und so zu Tode kamen. Ebenso erinnert dort ein Schlussstein aus dem Jahr 1609 an die frühere Steinbrücke.[1] Schon bevor die Freiburger Straßenbahn ab dem 2. Dezember 1901 die Schwabentorbrücke passierte, fuhren Pferdeomnibusse vom Hauptbahnhof zur Nägelseestraße über die Brücke, Vorläufer der Straßenbahnlinien B zum Alten Messplatz und C zur Lorettostraße. Heute fährt die Linie 1 von Landwasser nach Littenweiler über die Brücke. Text Wikipedia /* */ - #Schwabentorbrücke Schwabentorbrücke #Historisches #Freiburg #HistorischesFreiburg
