Castle well known for his utilization of promotional gimmicks implemented a "Fright Break" for "Homicidal;" a 45-second timer which overlays the impending climax with Castle's voice-over advising the audience they could leave the theater and receive a full refund if they were too frightened to see the ending of the film audience members who chose to leave however would have to wait in a yellow cardboard booth entitled the "Coward's Corner" manned by a nurse with a blood pressure cuff.<br /> <br /> 40 x 60 inches.

1928136596Hollywood: Paramount Pictures / Famous Lasky Corporation 1928. Vintage black-and-white reference photograph from the 1928 film. Based on Jim Tully's 1924 book "Beggars of Life: A Hobo Autobiography."<br/><br/>The story of a girl Louise Brooks known only as "The Girl" who kills her treacherous stepfather disguises herself as a boy joins up with a vagabond Richard Arlen as "The Boy" and attempts to escape the country into Canada. <br/><br/>The first Paramount film to have a small amount of spoken dialogue added in post-recording to the music and effects track. Much of it was filmed on location including footage of an actual train derailment. Louise Brooks performed her own stunt in a scene where she jumps onto a moving train. <br/><br/>Brooks' appearance in the film as a boy began a trend in popular film beauties playing androgynous roles culminating 13 years later when Veronica Lake played another boyish vagabond character simply called "The Girl" in Sullivan's Travels. Preston Sturges was likely inspired by the William Wellman scenario. <br/><br/>8 x 10 inches. Near Fine. <br/><br/>Complete collation details available on request.

Daily life in this rapidly evolving landscape is captured through personal stories and family photographs. These differ from the widely known photographs taken by the government oil companies missionaries and travelers. They were not intended to document media events or official protocol; instead these candid images captured private lasting memories. This is the first publication of such important vernacular material. A group of eight Emirati female students of Zayed University began this project four years ago with nearly fifty students gradually contributing their family family photographs and oral histories to a collaboratively designed and authored book. Their professor Dr. Michele Bambling and renowned photographer Susan Meiselas guided the students' creative approach to exploring their family photographs. Documented by their own cameras and told through their own memories the book offers an Emirati perspective on life in their nation during the second half of the twentieth century. <br /> <br /> "This book and its accompanying exhibition and archive was conceived as an extended research project I conducted with my students of curatorial practices at Zayed University Abu Dhabi over a three-year period beginning in 2010. Building on that foundation I helped establish 'Lest We Forget' as a creative archival initiative under the auspices of the Salama bint Hamdan Al Nahyan Foundation. To date more than one hundred Emirati female university students interns and volunteers have since contributed their photographs stories memories artistic talent and time to create the integral book exhibition and archive collaboratively."
