The main tower was constructed with single monolith caissons of dimensions 55.31 x 24.8 m with 21 shafts, each 6.25 metre square. The Chief Engineer of the Port Trust, Mr. J. McGlashan, wanted to replace the pontoon bridge, with a permanent structure, as the present bridge interfered with North/South river traffic. Work could not be started as World War I (1914-1918) broke out. Then in 1926 a commission under the Chairmanship of Sir R. N. Mukherjee recommended a suspension bridge of a particular type to be built across the River Hoogly. The bridge was designed by one Mr.Walton of M/s Rendel, Palmer & Triton. The order for construction and erection was placed on M/s.Cleveland Bridge & Engineering Company in 1939. Again World War II (1939-1945 ) intervened. All the steel that was to come from England were diverted for war effort in Europe. Out of 26,000 tons of steel, that was required for the bridge, only 3000 tons were supplied from England. In spite of the Japanese threat the then ( British ) Government of India pressed on with the construction. Tata Steel were asked to supply the remaining 23,000 tons of high tension steel. The Tatas developed the quality of steel required for the bridge and called it Tiscom. The entire 23,000 tons was supplied in time.

Aen. ix. 5) and Electra, and sister of the Harpies. (Hes. Theog. 266, 780; Apollod. i. 2. § 6; Plat. Theaet. p. 155. d; Plut. de Plac. Philos. iii. 5.) In the Homeric poems she appears as the minister of the Olympian gods, who carries messages from Ida to Olympus, from gods to gods, and from gods to men. (Il. xv. 144, xxiv. 78, 95, ii. 787, xviii. 168, Hymn. in Apoll. Del. 102, &c.) In accordance with these functions of Iris, her name is commonly derived from erô eirô; so that Iris would mean \"the speaker or messenger:\" but it is not impossible that it may be connected with eirô, \"I join,\" whence eirênê ; so that Iris, the goddess of the rainbow, would be the joiner or conciliator, or the messenger of heaven, who restores peace in nature. In the Homeric poems, it is true, Iris does not appear as the goddess of the rainbow, but the rainbow itself is called iris (Il xi. 27, xvii. 547): and this brilliant phenomenon in tile skies, which vanishes as quickly as it appears, was regarded as the swift minister of the gods. Her genealogy too supports the opinion that Iris was originally the personification of the rainbow. In the earlier poets, and even in Theocritus (xvii. 134) and Virgil (Aen. v. 610) Iris appears as a virgin goddess; but according to later writers, she was married to Zephyrus, and became by him the mother of Eros. (Eustath. ad Hom. pp. 391, 555; Plut. Amat. 20.) With regard to her functions, which we have above briefly described, we may further observe, that the Odyssey never mentions Iris, but only Hermes as the messenger of the gods: in the Iliad, on the other hand, she appears most frequently, and on the most different occasions. She is principally engaged in the service of Zeus, but also in that of Hera, and even serves Achilles in calling the winds to his assistance. (Il. xxiii. 199.) She further performs her services not only when commanded, but she sometimes advises and assists of her own accord (iii. 122, xv. 201. xviii. 197. xxiv. 74, &c.). In later poets she appears on the whole in the same capacity as in the Iliad, but she occurs gradually more and more exclusively in the service of Hera, both in the later Greek and Latin poets. (Callim. Hymn. in Del. 232; Virg. Aen. v. 606; Apollon. Rhod. ii. 288, 432; Ov. Met. xiv. 830, &c.) Some poets describe Iris actually as the rainbow itself, but Servius (ad Aen v. 610) states that the rainbow is only the road on which Iris travels, and which therefore appears whenever the goddess wants it, and vanishes when it is no longer needed: and it would seem that this latter notion was the more prevalent one in antiquity. Respecting the worship of Iris very few traces have come down to us, and we only know that the Delians offered to her on the island of Hecate cakes made of wheat and honey and dried figs. (Athen. xiv. p. 645; comp. Müller, Aegin. p. 170.) No statues of Iris have been preserved, but we find her frequently represented on vases and in bas-reliefs, either standing and dressed in a long and wide tunic, over which hangs a light upper garment, with wings attached to her shoulders, and carrying the herald's staff in her left hand; or she appears flying with wings attached to her shoulders and sandals, with the staff and a pitcher in her hands.", "precise_score": 3.5158913135528564, "rough_score": -0.7127674221992493, "source": "search", "title": "IRIS - Greek Goddess of the Rainbow, Messenger of the Gods" }, { "answer": "Iris", "passage": "\"Sokrates (Socrates) : He who said that Iris (Rainbow ) was the child of Thaumas (Wonder) made a good genealogy.\"", "precise_score": 1.7485188245773315, "rough_score": -5.344216346740723, "source": "search", "title": "IRIS - Greek Goddess of the Rainbow, Messenger of the Gods" }, { "answer": "Iris", "passage": "IRIS GODDESS OF THE RAINBOW", "precise_score": 4.8781657218933105, "rough_score": 5.341232776641846, "source": "search", "title": "IRIS - Greek Goddess of the Rainbow, Messenger of the Gods" }, { "answer": "Iris", "passage": "\"Zeus . . . charioted upon the Anemoi (Winds), Euros (the East), Boreas (the North), Zephyros (the West-wind), and Notos (the South) [the four-wind gods in the forms of horses] : for Iris rainbow-plumed led 'neath the yoke of his eternal ear that stormy team.\"", "precise_score": -1.9803143739700317, "rough_score": -2.3331949710845947, "source": "search", "title": "IRIS - Greek Goddess of the Rainbow, Messenger of the Gods" }, { "answer": "Iris", "passage": "\"Iris, in her thousand hues enrobed traced through the sky her arching bow . . .

It contains a number of seeds, about the size of an olive-stone, which are good to eat: and these are eaten both green and dried.

Hesiod's Theogony follows the Homeric description: he makes the Chimera the issue of Echidna: \"She was the mother of Chimaera who breathed raging fire, a creature fearful, great, swift-footed and strong, who had three heads, one of a grim-eyed lion; in her hinderpart, a dragon; and in her middle, a goat, breathing forth a fearful blast of blazing fire.

The fascination with the monstrous devolved by the end of the seventh century into a decorative Chimera-motif in Corinth, while the motif of Bellerophon on Pegasus took on a separate existence alone. A separate Attic tradition, where the goats breathe fire and the animal's rear is serpent-like, begins with such confidence that Marilyn Low Schmitt is convinced there must be unrecognized or undiscovered local precursors.

The tragedies relate the deeds of Achilles during the Trojan War, including his defeat of Hector and eventual death when an arrow shot by Paris and guided by Apollo punctures his heel. Extant fragments of the Achilleis and other Aeschylean fragments have been assembled to produce a workable modern play. The first part of the Achilleis trilogy, The Myrmidons, focused on the relationship between Achilles and chorus, who represent the Achaean army and try to convince Achilles to give up his quarrel with Agamemnon; only a few lines survive today. In Plato's Symposium, Phaedrus points out that Aeschylus portrayed Achilles as the lover and Patroclus as the beloved; Phaedrus argues that this is incorrect because Achilles, being the younger and more beautiful of the two, was the beloved, who loved his lover so much that he chose to die to revenge him.

The House of hades was described as full of \"guests,\" though he rarely left the Underworld. He cared little about what happened in the Upperworld, as his primary attention was ensuring none of his subjects ever left. When he did venture above ground, he generally wore his helmet of invisibility, which he obtained from the Cyclopes. He strictly forbade his subjects to leave his domain and would become quite enraged when anyone tried to leave, or if someone tried to steal the souls from his realm. His wrath was equally terrible for anyone who tried to cheat death or otherwise crossed him, as Sisyphus and Pirithous found out to their sorrow. While usually indifferent to his subjects, Hades was very focused on the punishment of these two people; particularly Pirithous, as he entered the underworld in an attempt to steal Persephone for himself, and consequently was forced onto the \"Chair of Forgetfulness\". Another myth is about the Roman god Asclepius was originally a demigod, fathered by Apollo and birthed by Coronis, a Thessalian princess. During his lifetime, he became a famous and talented physician, who eventually was able to bring the dead back to life. Feeling cheated, Plouton persuaded Jupiter to kill him with a thunderbolt. After his death, he was brought to Olympus where he became a god. Hades was only depicted outside of the Underworld once in myth, and even that is believed to have been an instance where he had just left the gates of the Underworld, which was when Heracles shot him with an arrow as Hades was attempting to defend the city of Plyus. After he was shot, however, he traveled to Olympus to heal. Besides Heracles, the only other living people who ventured to the Underworld were all heroes: Odysseus, Aeneas (accompanied by the Sibyl), Orpheus, who Hades showed uncharacteristic mercy towards at Persephone's persuasion, who was moved by Orpheus' music, Theseus with Pirithous, and, in a late romance, Psyche.

He was married to Persephone, the daughter of Demeter. In the division of the world among the three brothers, Hades obtained \"the darkness of night,\" the abode of the shades, over which he rules. (Apollod. i. 1. § 5, 2. § 1.) Hence he is called the infernal Zeus (Zeus katachthonios), or the king of the shades (anae enerôn, Hom. Il. ix. 457, xx. 61. xv. 187, &c.). As, however, the earth and Olympus belonged to the three brothers in common, he might ascend Olympus, as he did at the time when he was wounded by Heracles. (Il. v. 395; comp. Paus. vi. 25. § 3; Apollod. ii. 7. § 3; Pind. Ol. ix. 31.) But when Hades was in his own kingdom, he was quite unaware of what was going on either on earth or in Olympus (Il. xx. 61, &c.), and it was only the oaths and curses of men that reached his ears, as they reached those of the Erinnyes. He possessed a helmet which rendered the wearer invisible (Il. v. 845), and later traditions stated that this helmet was given him as a present by the Cyclopes after their delivery from Tartarus. (Apollod. i. 2. § 1.) Ancient story mentions both gods and men who were honoured by Hades with the temporary use of this helmet. (Apollod. i. 6. § 2, ii. 4. § 2.) His character is described as fierce and inexorable, whence of all the gods he was most hated by mortals. (Il. ix. 158.)

Fab. 146.) Pluto accordingly carried her off while she was gathering flowers with Artemis and Athena. (Comp. Diod. v. 3.) Demeter, when she found her daughter had disappeared, searched for her all over the earth with torches, until at length she discovered the place of her abode. Her anger at the abduction obliged Zeus to request Pluto to send Persephone (or Cora, i. e. the maiden or daughter) back. Pluto indeed complied with the request, but first gave her a kernel of a pomegranate to eat, whereby she became doomed to the lower world, and an agreement was made that Persephone should spend one third (later writers say one half) of every year in Hades with Pluto, and the remaining two thirds with the gods above. (Apollod. i. 5. 1, &c,; Or. Met. v. 565; comp. Demeter.) The place where Persephone was said to have been carried off, is different in the various local traditions. The Sicilians, among whom her worship was probably introduced by the Corinthian and Megarian colonists, believed that Pluto found her in the meadows near Enna, and that the well Cyane arose on the spot where he descended with her into the lower world.

(Hom. Il. xiv. 326, Od. xi. 216; Hes. Theog. 912, &c. ; Apollod. i. 5. § 1.) Her name is commonly derived from pherein phonon, \"to bring\" or \"cause death,\" and the form Persephone occurs first in Hesiod (Theog. 913; comp. Hom. Hymm. in Cer. 56), the Homeric form being Persephoneia. But besides these forms of the name, we also find Persephassa, Phersephassa, Persephatta, Phersephatta. Pherrephassa, Pherephatta, and Phersephoneia, for which various etymologies have been proposed. The Latin Proserpina, which is probably only a corruption of the Greek, was erroneously derived by the Romans from proserpere, \"to shoot forth.\" (Cic. de Nat. Deor. ii. 26.) Being the infernal goddess of death, she is also called a daughter of Zeus and Styx (Apollod. i. 3. § 1 ); in Arcadia she was worshipped under the name of Despoena, and was called a daughter of Poseidon Hippius and Demeter, and said to have been brought up by the Titan Anytus. (Paus. viii. 37. § 3, 6, 25. § 5.) Homer describes her as the wife of Hades, and the formidable, venerable, and majestic queen of the Shades, who exercises her power, and carries into effect the curses of men upon the souls of the dead, along with her husband. (Hom. Od. x. 494, xi. 226, 385, 634, Il. ix. 457, 569; comp. Apollod. i. 9. § 15.) Hence she is called by later writers Juno Inferna, Auerna, and Stygia (Virg. Aen. vi. 138; Ov. Met. xiv. 114), and the Erinnyes are said to have been daughters of her by Pluto. (Orph. Hymn. 29. 6, 6, 70. 3.)

(Schol. ad Theocrit. iii. 48.) Hence Plutarch identifies her with spring, and Cicero De Nat. Deor. ii. 26) calls her the seed of the fruits of the field. (Comp. Lydus, De Mes. pp. 90, 284; Porphyr. De Ant. Nymph. p. 118. ed. Barnes.) In the mysteries of Eleusis, the return of Cora from the lower world was regarded as the symbol of immortality, and hence she was frequently represented on sarcophagi. In the mystical theories of the Orphics, and what are called the Platonists, Cora is described as the all-pervading goddess of nature, who both produces and destroys every thing (Orph. Hymn. 29. 16), and she is therefore mentioned along, or identified with, other mystic divinities, such as Isis, Rhea, Ge, Hestia, Pandora, Artemis, Hecate. (Tzetz. ad Lyc. 708, 1176; Schol. ad Apollon. Rlod. iii. 467; Schol. ad Theocrit. ii. 12 ; Serv. ad Aen. iv. 609.) This mystic Persephone is further said to have become by Zeus the mother of Dionysus, Iacchus, Zagreus or Sabazius. (Hesych. s. v. Zagreus; Schol. ad Eurip. Or. 952 ; Aristoph. Ran. 326; Diod. iv. 4; Arrian. Exped. Al. ii. 16; Lydus De Mens. p. 198; Cic. de Nat. Deor. iii. 23.) The surnames which are given to her by the poets, refer to her character as queen of the lower world and of the dead, or to her symbolic meaning which we have pointed out above. She was commonly worshipped along with Demeter, and with the same mysteries, as for example, with Demeter Cabeiria in Boeotia. (Paus. ix. 25. § 5.) Her worship further is mentioned at Thebes, which Zeus is said to have given to her as an acknowledgment for a favour she had bestowed on him (Schol. ad Eurip. Phoen. 687): in like manner Sicily was said to have been given to her at her wedding (Pind. Nem. i. 17; Diod. v.2; Schol. ad Theocrit. xv. 14), and two festivals were celebrated in her honour in the island, the one at the time of sowing, and the other at the time of harvest. (Diod. v. 4; Athen. iv. p. 647.) The Eleusinian mysteries belonged to Demeter and Cora in common, and to her alone were dedicated the mysteries celebrated at Athens in the month of Anthesterion. (Comp. Paus. i. 31. § 1, &c.) Temples of Persephone are mentioned at Corinth, Megara, Sparta, and at Locri in the south of Italy. (Paus. iii. 13. § 2; Liv. xxix. 8, 18; Appian, iii. 12.) In works of art Persephone is seen very frequently: she bears the grave and severe character of an infernal Juno, or she appears as a mystical divinity with a sceptre and a little box, but she was mostly represented in the act of being carried off by Pluto.

It was becoming clear that Montreal's original airport, Saint-Hubert Airport, in operation since 1927, was no longer adequate for the city's needs. The Minister of Transport purchased land at the Dorval Race Track, which was considered the best location for the new airport because of its good weather conditions and few foggy days. Trudeau opened on September 1, 1941, as Dorval Airport with three paved runways. By 1946 the airport was hosting more than a quarter of a million passengers a year, growing to more than a million in the mid-1950s. During World War II thousands of Allied aircraft passed through Dorval on the way to England. At one time Dorval was the major transatlantic hub for commercial aviation and the busiest airport in Canada with flights from airlines such as British Overseas Airways Corporation (BOAC).", "precise_score": 3.1581382751464844, "rough_score": 4.434690475463867, "source": "wiki", "title": "Montréal–Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport" }, { "answer": "Canada", "passage": "In November 1960 the airport was renamed Montreal–Dorval International Airport/Aéroport international Dorval de Montréal. On December 15 of that year the Minister of Transport inaugurated a new $30 million terminal. The structure was built by Illsley, Templeton, Archibald, and Larose. At its height, it was the largest terminal in Canada and one of the biggest in the world. It was the gateway to Canada for all European air traffic and served more than two million passengers per year. Eight years later, Montréal–Dorval International Airport underwent a major expansion program. Despite this, the Government of Canada predicted that Dorval would be completely saturated by 1985 and also projected that 20 million passengers would be passing through Montreal's airports annually. They decided to construct a new airport in Sainte-Scholastique (Montréal–Mirabel International Airport). As the first phase in the transition that would eventually have seen Dorval closed, all international flights (except those to and from the United States) were to be transferred to the new airport in 1975.", "precise_score": 5.504454612731934, "rough_score": 6.700788974761963, "source": "wiki", "title": "Montréal–Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport" }, { "answer": "Canada", "passage": "On November 29, 1975, Mirabel International Airport went into service. With an operations zone of 70 km2 and a buffer zone of 290 km2, it became the largest airport in the world. Many connecting flights to Canadian centres were transferred to Mirabel and 23 international airlines moved their overseas activities there. As a consequence, the mission of Montréal–Dorval was redefined to service domestic flights and transborder flights to the United States. Mirabel's traffic decreased due to the advent in the 1980s of longer-range jets that did not need to refuel in Montreal before crossing the Atlantic Ocean. Montreal's economic decline in the late 1970s and 1980s had a significant effect on the airport's traffic, as international flights bypassed Montreal altogether in favour of Toronto Pearson International Airport. The Trudeau government had developed Mirabel Airport to handle an expected growth in international traffic and eventually, to replace Dorval. The extra traffic never materialized and due to its closer proximity to downtown Montreal all scheduled air services have now returned to Dorval/Trudeau, while Mirabel ceased passenger operations in 2004. In May 2007 it was reported that the International Centre of Advanced Racing had signed a 25-year lease with Aéroports de Montréal to use part of the airport as a racetrack, the Circuit ICAR.

Sharp's brother suggested in 1973 that it was on this drive that Wood first sketched the house on the back of an envelope. Wood's earliest biographer, Darrell Garwood, noted that Wood \"thought it a form of borrowed pretentiousness, a structural absurdity, to put a Gothic-style window in such a flimsy frame house.\" At the time, Wood classified it as one of the \"cardboardy frame houses on Iowa farms\" and considered it \"very paintable\". After obtaining permission from the Jones family, the house's owners, Wood made a sketch the next day in oil on paperboard from the house's front yard. This sketch displayed a steeper roof and a longer window with a more pronounced ogive than on the actual house, features which eventually adorned the final work.", "precise_score": 1.5543642044067383, "rough_score": 1.5415828227996826, "source": "wiki", "title": "American Gothic" }, { "answer": "Grant Wood", "passage": "A high horizon line running along the exaggerated width of the composition paradoxically creates simultaneous feelings of expansion and compression in this depiction of an eastern Iowa landscape.

Instead of a donor and saint with attributes, there are a farmer and farmwoman. Wood originally intended the pair to be father and spinster daughter but they have generally been perceived as a married couple. The highly realistic depiction is heightened by the almost non-detectible brushwork and glazed surfaces. Wood’s attention to telling detail, such as the rickrack trim on the farmwoman’s apron, her cameo, and the Gothic tracery in the vernacular architecture of the farmhouse, can also be found in Spring Turning. All the details of Spring Turning were worked out in the full-scale preparatory drawing, now in the collection of the Huntington Library and Art Gallery (see Study for Spring Turning, 1936. Pencil, charcoal, and chalk on paper, 17 1/2 in x 39 ¾ in. In the collection of the Henry E. Huntington Library and Art Gallery, San Marino, California. Gift of the Virginia Steele Scott Foundation, 83.8.53). In both the study and the painting, the cottonwood trees along the stream in the lower right-hand corner, the fence post “stitching” in the square fields created by the initial outmost furrow of each field, and the visual “stippling” of cattle on the hillside behind the farmhouse have a hypnotic effect upon the viewer. Although Wood employs the basic tools of linear perspective in the recession of forms into deep space, he also activates the picture plane by use of careful brushwork, as in his crosshatching light and darker green in the fields and the squared-off strokes of light on dark sienna brown to show the plowed earth in the near fields that eventually smooth to ribbon in the distance. The viewer’s gaze is kept within the composition by the horizontal tilt-up of the landscape towards the picture plane, which also has the effect of directing the viewer’s gaze away from the observation of minute details to seeing the overall geometric forms of the landscape. As his fellow Regionalist painter Thomas Hart Benton often did, Wood created a scale model in clay prior to painting his canvas, in order to accurately depict the shadows that would be cast. The support of this painting is the smooth side of a Masonite panel, with a commercial white oil-based paint as the ground and incorporating drawing and multiple layers of transparent, pigmented glazes made from equal parts linseed oil, damar varnish, turpentine and oil paint. The significant use of modifiers to the paint may be the cause of wrinkling and craquelure that can be found in this and other of Wood’s painted surfaces (see James Horns and Helen Mar Parkin, “Grant Wood: A Technical Study,” in Grant Wood: An American Master Revealed, San Francisco: Pomegranate Artbooks for Davenport Museum of Art, 1995, 85).", "precise_score": 4.048327445983887, "rough_score": 1.0115951299667358, "source": "search", "title": "Spring Turning | Reynolda House Museum of American Art" }, { "answer": "Grant Wood", "passage": "Wood’s landscape paintings and lithographs capture the seasonal motifs of farming, i.e. spring planting, summer hoeing, fall plowing and fallow fields in winter. Although raised on a farm until a teenager, Grant Wood never considered becoming a farmer himself. Yet Spring Turning, like his other images of Iowa, presents an optimistic, inviting landscape in contrast to his difficult childhood on the farm with a distant and reserved father. Much has been made of the fact that this painting was done during the artist’s four-year marriage to Sara Sherman Maxson, and after the death of his mother Hattie, to whom he was immeasurably devoted. Wanda Corn and other critics read the landscape of Spring Turning as a reclining female nude, or as a large patchwork quilt draped over a female body (Corn 90). More recent scholars including Robert Hughes, Henry Adams, and Tripp Evans assert that Grant Wood was a closeted homosexual; Evans suggests that this image is “the most erotically charged landscape Wood ever created,” and that these same fields suggest “a man’s body, rather than the reclining figure of an earth goddess” that Wanda Corn suggested (see Tripp R.

The composition encompasses four fields, side by side in pairs and receding at a diagonal away from the picture plane. Their geometric demarcation is man-made, indicated by the plowed furrows that are being turned under in preparation for planting, the rusty red-orange furrows highlighted against the velvety green growth. Each field is surrounded by posthole fences. One can see the fence posts but not the strung wires, thus reinforcing the repetition of the posts as hemmed stitches on a vast quilt. The left of the rear fields has been completely plowed, while the other three are in the process of being plowed. The tiny form of a farmer works the square from the outside to its center. There is a hint of one work-team silhouetted against the sky. The foreground field is being worked by a farmer and team of draft horses, while the mid-ground field is being worked by a farmer driving a team of oxen. In the bottom right third of the composition, a small bridge crosses a shaded stream. At the far end of the recessional diagonal created by the contour of the foreground hill is a single tree casting a shadow, as if in response to the distant pink-flowering tree back by the foot bridge.

Regionalism was more populist, nostalgic, and representational, while Social Realism was more urban, critical, and expressionistic. Participants in both movements were reacting against European influence on American art in the development of Modernism, especially non-objectivism, and felt that artists should be actively engaged in modern life.

Regionalism and Social Realism would give way to Abstract Expressionism, which grew out of European art movements such as Surrealism and German Expressionism. Abstract Expressionism emphasized the primacy of the artist’s individual imagination and/or subconscious as well as the formal qualities of art production—the process and product itself—as appropriate subject matter for art.

He studied the next summer with Batchelder. After a year as a teacher, Wood lived in Chicago from 1913 to 1916, enrolling in night classes at the Art Institute of Chicago, and attempting to sell jewelry and other metalwork in the Arts & Crafts style. He returned to Cedar Rapids in 1917 and served in the army from 1918-1919, designing camouflage for artillery in Fort Dodge Iowa and Washington D.C. In the early 1920s, Wood traveled to Paris, where he took classes at the Académie Julian. Back in Cedar Rapids, Wood found work as an art teacher and designed a unique studio and living space in an old carriage house. This studio showcased Grant Wood’s wit and ingenuity in its unique furnishings and decorative features such as a front door fashioned from a coffin lid with a clock face to indicate the artist’s whereabouts and expected return. By 1925, Wood had left his teaching job to focus on his art and was doing free-lance work as an artist and home decorator. At this time, Wood began to wear his signature denim overalls, which emphasized his Midwestern and specifically Iowa roots. His third and final visit to Paris was during the summer of 1926, at the end of which he had a one-man exhibition of forty-seven paintings, mostly done in an Impressionist style, at the Galerie Carmine. The exhibition did not receive critical attention or result in sales. Upon his return to Iowa, Wood’s fortunes improved with a major commission in 1927 to create a stained glass window for the Cedar Rapids Veterans Memorial Building. In 1928, he traveled to Munich, where for three months he supervised production of the window, and studied art by Gothic and Northern Renaissance masters at the Alte Pinakothek. He was profoundly affected by their highly detailed realism and use of symbolic objects, and this affected a dramatic change in his work, most notably American Gothic of 1930. Other famous works in his signature style are Woman with Plants (1929), Midnight Ride of Paul Revere (1931), Daughters of Revolution and Arbor Day (1932), and Parson Weems’ Fable (1939).

Thai lag so far behind the other airlines in those departments, that you wonder how long it would take them to catch up. They are quite frankly a mess, at present. I think the future for Thai in the mid-term is to consolidate its east Asia trade, where it has traditionally been a very strong player to the likes of Japan and Taiwan. Conversely, Thai is being destroyed by Emirates and the other members of the ME4 for flights from Bangkok to Europe, so there is no room for expansion there, yet there is room for improvement in India, especially the central areas such as Hyderabad and Bangalore. European routes need to be trimmed; get rid of flights to Milan, Arnhem, Madrid, and Munich, and consolidate flights to high-yielding destinations such as London, Paris, and Frankfurt, with daily flights with the A380, rather than double daily flights. This would allow for Thai to sell some of their aircraft, as latest figures show they are running an average of 60% load factor across their entire network – and in 2014 traffic plunged a whopping 43%. A great detailed analysis of Thai Airways’ recent strife and future goals can be found at this page from the ever-reliable Centre for Aviation .", "precise_score": -100, "rough_score": 3.433344602584839, "source": "search", "title": "Garuda vs Thai vs Singapore Airlines vs Malaysia Airlines ..." }, { "answer": "Indonesia", "passage": "Being a key SkyTeam member, it is clear that Garuda is now a big player in the ASEAN region , and now they have ditched their plans for ultra-long-haul non-stop service to London Gatwick from Jakarta, they can focus more on the Indonesia-Japan market, which has a lot of room for expansion now there is so much disposable income among the Indonesian middle-class.

That Vaughan was also influenced by (and an influence on) her friend and mentor, Billy Eckstine, is obvious in the numerous duet recordings they made together. However, since no recordings exist of Vaughan prior to her joining Eckstine in the Earl Hines band (nor with the Hines band) it is difficult to know with any certainty what stylistic nuances she absorbed during the critical first years of her performing career. Perhaps because of the individuality of her style, Vaughan has rarely been overtly imitated by subsequent generations of singers, unlike such contemporaries of hers as Ella Fitzgerald, Judy Garland, Frank Sinatra or, later, Aretha Franklin. Many modern artists, however, have claimed Sarah Vaughan as a major influence, chief among them Teena Marie, Anita Baker, Chaka Khan, Chrisette Michele, Amy Winehouse & Alison Goldfrapp. Even in death she retains a loyal following and attracts new fans through her recorded legacy, most of which remains in commercial release.", "precise_score": -100, "rough_score": 0.6571739315986633, "source": "search", "title": "Sarah Vaughan - YouTube" }, { "answer": "Earl Hines", "passage": "Vaughan sang in church as a child and had extensive piano lessons from 1931-39; she developed into a capable keyboardist.

He also worked on the subject of terrestrial magnetism. In 1896, his previous work was overshadowed by his discovery of the phenomenon of natural radioactivity. Following a discussion with Henri Poincaré on the radiation which had recently been discovered by Röntgen (X-rays) and which was accompanied by a type of phosphorescence in the vacuum tube, Becquerel decided to investigate whether there was any connection between X-rays and naturally occurring phosphorescence. He had inherited from his father a supply of uranium salts, which phosphoresce on exposure to light. When the salts were placed near to a photographic plate covered with opaque paper, the plate was discovered to be fogged.

The apparatus employed by me for the purpose consists essentially of a plate condenser, AB (Figure 1). The active body, finely powdered, is spread over the plate B, making the air between the plates a conductor. In order to measure the conductivity, the plate B is raised to a high potential by connecting it with one pole of a battery of small accumulators. P, of which the other pole is connected to earth. The plate A being maintained at the potential of the earth by the connection CD,an electric current is set up between the two plates. The potential of plate A is recorded by an electrometer, E. If the earth connection be broken at C, the plate A becomes charged, and this charge causes a deflection of the electrometer. The velocity of the deflection is proportional to the intensity of the current, and serves to measure the latter. But a preferable method of measurement is that of complensating the charge of plate A, so as to cause no deflection of the electrometer. The charges in question are extremely weak; they may be compensated by means of a quartz electric balance, Q, one sheath of which is connected to plate A and other to the earth. The quartz lamina is subjected to known tension, produced by placing weights in a plate,T; the tension is produced progressively, and has the effect of generating progressively a known quantity of electricity during the time observed. The operation can be so regulated that, at each instant, there is compensation between the quantity of electricity that traverses the condenser and that of the opposite kind furnished by the quartz. In this way, the quantity of electricity passing through the condenser for a given time, i.e., the intesity of the current, can be measured in absolute units. The measurement is independent of the sensitiveness of the electrometer. (Source Resonance, March 2001) (fig.6).

This discovery led him on a new path of investigation. Since uranium nitrate ceases to luminesce when dissolved or melted in its water of crystalization, Becquerel, in darkness, heated a crystal in a sealed glass tube, protecting it even from the light of the alcohol flame. He then allowed it to recrystallize in darkness. All phosphorescence had been destroyed in this process, yet the salt still produced results on a photographic plate as strong as crystals exposed to light. Indeed, Becquerel admitted the anomalous behaviour of his samples: All salts of uranium emitted the invisible radiation, while other phosphorescent bodies did not.

Rutherford named the positively charged rays alpha rays and the negatively charged ones beta rays (also known as alpha particles and beta particles).

She found that she could measure the current so conducted with a galvanometer and offset it with the potential of a crystal under pressure. By measuring the amount of pressure it took to balance the current, she could obtain the reading of the intensity of the radioactivity. She systematically tested radioactive salts and succeeded in showing that the degree of radioactivity was in proportion to the amount of uranium in the radioactive material thereby narrowing the source of the radioactivity in her samples down to uranium. Then in 1898 she made yet another find: the heavy element thorium was also radioactive. It was already known that natural pitchblende is three or four times more active than uranium. Even more interesting is the fact that as Marie was working to separate uranium out of pitchblende, she found that the residues she produced had a much higher measurement of radioactivity than the uranium content alone could account for. Since the other minerals present in the ore were not radioactive, that could mean only one thing. Some other radioactive element, in amounts too small to detect, must also be present! By this time, Marie's work had developed so much potential that her husband Pierre joined her to help with the backbreaking, tedious work of crystallizing the elements from the ores. Though himself a fine scientist with a successful career, he set his own work aside and spent the remaining seven years of his life assisting her, recognizing both her extraordinary gifts as a scientist and the importance of the path she was following. By July 1898 the two had succeeded. Working together, they had isolated a tiny amount of powder from the uranium ore from the fraction that contained bismuth. It was a new element, never before detected, with a level of radioactivity 400 times higher than uranium. They named the new element polonium, after Marie's home country. But something still seemed strange. The ore still gave off more radioactivity even than the uranium and polonium combined could account for. There must still be something else. In December 1898 they found the answer: another, even more radioactive element obtained from the fraction that contained barium which was 900 times more active than uranium. This one they named radium (from Latin radius meaning ray). Marie and Pierre could not really offer a good description of new element radium because the amount they were able to derive from the ore they had was so minuscule. They could measure its radiations, and Eugene Demarcay, a specialist in elemental line spectra, was able to provide the spectral characteristics. (Different elements give off different wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation or light, and these can be observed as discrete lines.) The next project was to produce a large enough quantity of radium that they could weigh it and measure it and see it. For this, they required a much bigger laboratory and financial resources which Sorbonne University could not provide. Undaunted by the circumstances, they set to work in a make-shift laboratory housed in a neighbouring abandoned court-yard. Through the courtesy of the Academy of Sciences, Vienna, they managed at a reasonable cost, stacks of the required ore pitchblende. The new laboratory was damp with a leaky glass roof, walls made of card-boards, a few tables knocked together as the work tables, a gas stove and no exhaust to remove noxious fumes arising from the work upto 20 kg of the ore every day. It was a back breaking, hazardous and almost suicidal adventure with no help coming from any quarters. They spent their life savings to obtain large masses of waste ore from a nearby mine, and they began the monumental task. They spent four years, during which Marie lost 5 pounds, purifying and repurifying the ore into small amounts of radium, say, about 0.1 gram. Marie Curie wrote her doctoral dissertation on the subject in 1903, for which she, Pierre and Henri Becquerel shared the Nobel Prize in physics that year. In 1906, two years after receiving an appointment as professor of physics at the Sorbonne, Pierre Curie was run over by a horse-drawn truck at the age of 47. Marie was appointed in his place and she became the first woman to teach physics at the Sorbonne. Eight years after Pierre's death (1914), she received another Nobel for her discovery of two new elements, viz. Polonium and Radium, this time in chemistry and this time alone, Pierre - her partner and collaborator - no longer at her side. Years later, in 1935 to be precise, their daughter Irene and her husband Frederic Joliot-Curie - the second husband and wife team - were awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry for their discovery of artificial radioactivity.", "precise_score": -100, "rough_score": -9.158609390258789, "source": "search", "title": "Antoine-Henri Becquerel - Vigyan Prasar" }, { "answer": "Radioactivity", "passage": "Nobel Prizes awarded for work with radioactivity", "precise_score": -100, "rough_score": -6.512937068939209, "source": "search", "title": "Antoine-Henri Becquerel - Vigyan Prasar" }, { "answer": "Radioactivity", "passage": "The discovery of radioactivity brought about a revolution in our conceptiual understanding of the matter and found applications various fields of human activity.

Wilde's mother, under the pseudonym \"Speranza\" (the Italian word for 'Hope'), wrote poetry for the revolutionary Young Irelanders in 1848 and was a lifelong Irish nationalist. She read the Young Irelanders' poetry to Oscar and Willie, inculcating a love of these poets in her sons. Lady Wilde's interest in the neo-classical revival showed in the paintings and busts of ancient Greece and Rome in her home. William Wilde was Ireland's leading oto-ophthalmologic (ear and eye) surgeon and was knighted in 1864 for his services as medical adviser and assistant commissioner to the censuses of Ireland. He also wrote books about Irish archaeology and peasant folklore. A renowned philanthropist, his dispensary for the care of the city's poor at the rear of Trinity College, Dublin, was the forerunner of the Dublin Eye and Ear Hospital, now located at Adelaide Road. On his father's side Wilde was descended from a Dutchman, Colonel de Wilde, who went to Ireland with King William of Orange's invading army in 1690. On his mother's side Wilde's ancestors included a bricklayer from County Durham who emigrated to Ireland sometime in the 1770s.

In \"E Tenebris\" the poet states: \"And well I know my soul in Hell must lie/If I this night before God's throne should stand.\" As Philip Cohen noted in The Moral Vision of Oscar Wilde, this moral strain is paradoxically woven throughout the fabric of Wilde's work, despite his seemingly definitive statements to the contrary, such as in the preface to The Picture of Dorian Gray: \"No artist has ethical sympathies. An ethical sympathy in an artist is an unpardonable mannerism of style.\" This moralism and remorse receive their fullest expression in the letter from jail, De Profundis. Perhaps the best poems of the 1881 volume are those titled \"Impressions,\" in which \"Wilde attains sharpness and total complexity in the depiction of scenes,\" San Juan remarked. \"Colors, tactile sensations, and a weird 'animistic' vibration characterize physical movements, as in 'Impressions du Matin.'\"", "precise_score": -100, "rough_score": -11.009866714477539, "source": "search", "title": "Oscar Wilde - Poetry Foundation" }, { "answer": "Oscar Wilde", "passage": "Between the publication of Poems in 1881 and his next significant book in 1888, Wilde went on a lecture tour of America, was married to Constance Lloyd, fathered two sons, became editor of a fashionable magazine, Woman's World, and continued to build his reputation as the most sought-after dinner guest in the British Isles. Frances Winwar, in Oscar Wilde and the Yellow Nineties, described this social aspect of his fame: \"His life from now on assumed an air of arrogance. He would do nothing in moderation—except work. But then, his real work was accomplished when he talked. Before a group of listeners, especially if they were young and handsome and titled, he outdid himself. In the spark of their admiration his mind quickened. Epigram followed epigram, one more dazzling, more preposterous than the other, yet always, like the incandescent core of the firework, with a burning truth at the heart.\" In addition to his epigrams, Wilde's table talk frequently consisted of his original fairy tales; they were later published in two volumes, The Happy Prince and Other Tales and The House of Pomegranates.", "precise_score": -100, "rough_score": -10.844694137573242, "source": "search", "title": "Oscar Wilde - Poetry Foundation" }, { "answer": "Oscar Wilde", "passage": "Wilde's fairy tales deserve more notice than they have generally received. A few of them are minor prose masterpieces, most notably \"The Happy Prince,\" \"The Nightingale and the Rose,\" \"The Selfish Giant,\" and \"The Fisherman and His Soul.\" But they should be taken seriously for another reason as well: they embody some of the conflicts and themes that run throughout Wilde's work. \"The Happy Prince\" stresses the importance of giving of oneself, even of making the ultimate sacrifice, in order to ameliorate the conditions of the poor. This message foreshadows some of Wilde's ideas in his later work The Soul of Man under Socialism. \"The Nightingale and the Rose\" deals in a similar way with giving, but here the emphasis is on the need to sacrifice for love. Wilde's love of beauty and his conception of its fleeting quality find expression in this story of a nightingale who sacrifices its life to produce the perfect rose. In the story's final satirical twist the beautiful rose is rejected because it does not match the color of a young girl's dress. In Oscar Wilde, Robert K. Miller declared that this ironic turn reveals Wilde's \"ambivalence toward love\" that is \"related to his ambivalence about women.\" In \"The Selfish Giant\" the title character overcomes his selfishness toward children and thus serves as an allegory of Christian redemption. The imaginative sympathy of the giant is similar to that which Wilde ascribes to Christ in his later work, De Profundis. \"The Fisherman and His Soul,\" from the second volume, is the most complex of Wilde's fairy tales; it was described by John A. Quintus in Virginia Quarterly Review as \"another treatment of the doppelgänger theme in which the body and the soul are separated, as they are in The Picture of Dorian Gray.\" In a reversal of the usual situation in which the body corrupts the soul, the Fisherman's soul—which the Fisherman has dispensed with so that he can love a mermaid—tempts his body to sin and through the resultant suffering body and soul are reunited.", "precise_score": -100, "rough_score": -11.039846420288086, "source": "search", "title": "Oscar Wilde - Poetry Foundation" }, { "answer": "Oscar Wilde", "passage": "\"In spite of its many weaknesses,\" asserted Edouard Roditi in Oscar Wilde: A Critical Guidebook, \"The Picture of Dorian Gray yet remains, in many respects, a great novel.

This exotic one-act play has more the atmosphere of the earlier poem The Sphinx in its variations on the themes of obsession, lust, incest, and violence. Salomé moves forward largely on the basis of ritualistic repetition and a unifying pattern of imagery. Richard Ellmann, in Oscar Wilde: A Collection of Critical Essays, described this unity as \"the extreme concentration upon a single episode which is like an image, with a synchronized moon changing color from pale to blood-red in keeping with the action, and an atmosphere of frenzy framed in exotic chill.\" Salomé is Wilde's most completely decadent work. While the play exhibits a few traces of a moral point of view—Jokanaan's rejection of Salomé and Herod's fearful conscience at the end—the dominant impression is one of macabre beauty, and the climax is reached when Salomé's kisses the bitter lips of Jokanaan's severed head. This impression was undercut for critic Alan Bird, who, in The Plays of Oscar Wilde, contended that even in this play Wilde's wit shows through: \"Yet the reader (or audience) can never escape the uncomfortable sensation that the author is actually parodying the action, the words, the characters, the whole ensemble of the drama. This suspicion of parody, however faint, produces an intentional distancing, a deliberate alienation, which far from allowing us to dismiss the drama seems to increase the total effect of decadence.\"", "precise_score": -100, "rough_score": -11.1073579788208, "source": "search", "title": "Oscar Wilde - Poetry Foundation" }, { "answer": "Oscar Wilde", "passage": "George Woodcock, who in The Paradox of Oscar Wilde examined at length the social ideas in Wilde's other comedies, found \"no explicit social theme\" in The Importance of Being Earnest.

Perhaps Freedman was correct when in The Moral Impulse he described the play as \"an account of the search of several young persons for meaning in a society extraordinarily reluctant, even impotent, to assign importance to anything except the superficial.\" However, the second part of this statement is much easier to accept than the first part, because the young people participate in this farcical society, and they live by its rules—or break them in acceptable ways.

He had been writing critical essays since 1879, when he arrived in London from Oxford and began to write on art for various London periodicals. In 1882 he lectured in America, and these lectures were published after his death by his bibliographer Stuart Mason. His most important critical essays were \"The Decay of Lying,\" \"Pen, Pencil, and Poison,\" \"The Critic as Artist,\" and \"The Truth of Masks,\" first published in Intentions; \"The Soul of Man Under Socialism,\" which first appeared in the Fortnightly Review in 1891; and De Profundis, a long letter written to Lord Alfred Douglas from prison and published in 1905. Richard Ellman, in his introduction to The Artist as Critic: Critical Writings of Oscar Wilde, placed him at the end of a clear progression of English critics from Matthew Arnold to Ruskin to Pater. Wilde clearly had Arnold in mind in \"The Critic as Artist,\" when he turned upside down his predecessor's famous dictum that the function of criticism is to see the object as it really is: Wilde would have it that \"the aim of the critic is to see the object as in itself it really is not.\" This is no mere playing with paradox for Wilde, because this whole essay strives to show that criticism is creative, that the critic uses the work of art as a jumping-off place for his own imaginative activity. The higher the imagination soars, both from the work of art and from reality, the better the criticism. Just as the critic in this sense can be superior to the artist, so the artist is superior to the man of action.

Wilde advocates a nonauthoritarian socialism under which the individual would be freed from either the burden of poverty or the burdens of greed and guilt.

Wilde lost the case, and as a result of the testimony against him at the trial, he was arrested and tried for homosexuality. Since the jury could not agree on a verdict, Wilde was tried a second time and ultimately convicted. The record of these trials, which was published by H. Montgomery Hyde in 1948 as Trials of Oscar Wilde, makes fascinating reading, revealing as it does the vanity of Wilde, the eccentricities of Queensbury, and exultation of the British public at the verdict.

The ballad tells a very moving story of a man condemned to death for the murder of his young wife and records the horror of his fellow prisoners as they watch him go through his last days. Though the poem has much of the realism that Wilde always abhorred, it transcends nineteenth-century prison life in its handling of the themes of suffering, isolation, and collective guilt (\"Yet each man kills the thing he loves\").

Its \u0013 HYPERLINK \"http://www.answers.com/topic/plot\" \\t \"_top\" \u0014plot\u0015 usually revolves around intrigues of lust and greed, the self-interested cynicism of the characters being masked by decorous pretence.

Witty, ironic form of drama that satirizes the manners and fashions of a particular social class or set. Comedies of manners were usually written by sophisticated authors for members of their own social class, and they typically are concerned with social usage and the ability or inability of certain characters to meet social standards, which are often exacting but morally trivial. The plot, usually concerning an illicit love affair or other scandalous matter, is subordinate to the play's brittle atmosphere, witty dialogue, and pungent commentary on human foibles.

Satire: a mode of writing that exposes the failings of individuals, institutions, or societies to ridicule and scorn. Satire is often an incidental element in literary works that may not be wholly satirical, especially in \u0013 HYPERLINK \"http://www.answers.com/topic/comedy\" \\t \"_top\" \u0014comedy\u0015. Its tone may vary from tolerant amusement to bitter indignation. Satire seeks to affect a change in the society it is mocking. High Comedy: evokes intellectual laughter, graceful, witty, elegant, mocks pretentiousness. 4. Oscar Wilde: Ever the aesthete, Wilde himself was profoundly affected by beauty and lived and dressed flamboyantly compared to the typical Victorian styles and mores of the time. He was often publicly caricatured and the target of much moral outrage in Europe and America. His writings such as Dorian Gray with homoerotic themes also brought much controversy for him but he was part of the ever-growing movement of 'decadents' who advocated pacifism, social reform, and libertarianism. While many vilified him, he was making his mark with style and wit and enjoyed much success with many of his plays. Wilde was lauded by and acquainted with many influential figures of the day including fellow playwright \u0013 HYPERLINK \"http://www.online-literature.com/george_bernard_shaw/\" \u0014George Bernard Shaw\u0015, American poets \u0013 HYPERLINK \"http://www.online-literature.com/walt-whitman/\" \u0014Walt Whitman\u0015 and \u0013 HYPERLINK \"http://www.online-literature.com/henry_longfellow/\" \u0014Henry Wadsworth Longfellow\u0015, and English author and social critic John Ruskin. His works have inspired countless fellow authors, have been translated to numerous languages, and have been adapted to the stage and screen many times over. After school Wilde settled in London and continued to write poetry; his first collection simply titled Poems was published in 1881. That same year he set off on a long tour of America and Canada to deliver lectures on aestheticism. He arrived back in Europe in 1883 and while not further lecturing lived in Paris, France. In 1884 Wilde married Constance Mary Lloyd (1858-1898) with whom he would have two sons; Cyril (1885- 1915), who was killed during World War I, and Vyvyan (1886-1976), who would become an author, penning his memoir Son of Oscar Wilde (1954) and publishing Oscar Wilde: A Pictorial Biography in 1960. The Wildes settled in Chelsea, London where Oscar continued to write and work for such magazines as the Pall Mall Gazette and became editor of Woman's World in 1887. In 1891 Wilde met English poet Lord Alfred Douglas \"Bosie\" (1870-1945), son of John Douglas, 9th Marquess of Queensberry (1844-1900). It was the beginning of a tumultuous relationship that would cause many problems for Oscar and eventually lead to his downfall. Alfred had a tempestuous relationship with his father that did not help matters. He disapproved of his son's lifestyle and when he learned of his openly living with Wilde, he set out to defame Wilde. For the opening performance of The Importance of Being Earnest in 1895 at St. James's Theatre in London the Marquess planned to publicly expose and humiliate Wilde. Oscar took legal steps to protect himself against the 'brute' but he ultimately won a case whereby Wilde was charged with \"gross indecency\" for homosexual acts. The outcome of the sensational trial was a sentence of two years hard labor which Wilde served most of at the Reading Gaol outside of London. After Wilde was imprisoned Constance had her and her sons' last names changed to Holland. Now prisoner C. 3.3, Wilde turned to his pen and wrote many essays, poems, and letters including one to Alfred, \"De Profundis\" (a heavily edited version was first published in 1905; the complete version in 1962). After his release from prison in May of 1897, Wilde wrote \"Ballad of Reading Gaol\" (1898) about the injustice of the death penalty and the hanging of Charles Thomas Wooldridge. Adopting the name Sebastian Melmoth, Wilde went to Paris, penniless, and is said to have reunited with his friend and lover of many years, Canadian journalist Robert Baldwin \"Robbie\" Ross (1869-1918), who was also executor of Wilde's estate. He took up residence in the H�tel d'Alsace on rue des Beaux-Arts. On his deathbed, Ross by his side, Wilde was baptised into the Roman Catholic Church and received Extreme Unction. Oscar Wilde died of meningitis on 30 November 1900. He now rests in P�re Lachaise cemetery in Paris; Ross' ashes were added to the angel-adorned tomb in 1950. Biography written by C. D.

We wanted a new director whom we had chosen, Tom O'Horgan. We wanted casting to be done all over again. We wanted new designers, and, most assuredly, we wanted the rewritten, restructured, expanded script of HAIR to be done.

The story of football at Centenary College of Louisiana in the 1920s is so dramatic and unique that it deserves special treatment all of its own. A small, obscure liberal arts college with a student body of less than 300 suddenly fields a powerful football team in 1922, and for the next 20 years plays and defeats teams in the Southwest Conference (Texas) and some of the nation's best in other athletic conferences, including Boston College, the University of Iowa, the University of Mississippi, Oklahoma A & M, and Louisiana State University. How was this accomplished, what did it mean, and what was its contribution to the history of Centenary College of Louisiana? This special brochure will attempt to answer these questions. Intercollegiate athletics was not a tradition that Centenary College brought to its Shreveport campus in September 1908, when the school opened for its first semester of academic work. College authorities had frowned upon any organized teams of baseball or football as reflected in the following resolution adopted by the Board of Trustees in 1898: \"Resolved, that we will not countenance or permit students of the college or any professor to engage in any intercollegiate contests of baseball or football, or in any physical games outside the college campus, and we forbid all ball play within a hundred yards of any building.\" Prior to this resolution, and no doubt the reason for it, a makeshift Centenary football team had played Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge and was not only beaten by a large score, but two of Centenary's players had to be hospitalized in Baton Rouge for several days. In 1901 these restrictions were eased somewhat for the baseball teams as recorded in the Trustee minutes: \"Games with other schools are allowed provided our boys do not travel on Sunday going to or returning from games.\" The Glory Years of Football, Centenary College of Louisiana 1922-1942 The first official records of athletic teams at Centenary College in Shreveport are to be found in the 1908-1909 college catalog and the November 1909 issue of the Maroon and White, a monthly publication edited by the students. The 1908 catalog states that the Centenary Athletic Association was organized and included all students interested in baseball, football, tennis, and track teams. Professor James Hinton who taught Latin and Greek, was president of the Association. One year later, the college catalog announced that a spacious and attractive athletic park was ready for use. This park was no doubt on the northwest section of the campus, which had been cleared \"out of the woods\" and would be the site of the first athletic grandstand erected a few years later. The Maroon and White gave the schedule and scores of the football games played in 1909. The team was called the \"Maroons,\" and Professor James Hinton was listed as the coach. Players were listed as follows: Clint Willis, Archie Johnson, William C. Honey cutt, Earl Whittington, K. Hundley, and D.B. Boddie. No games were won that year. Scores were as follows: Louisiana Industrial Institute in Ruston 60, Centenary 0; Henderson College, Arkadelphia, Arkansas 83, Centenary 0; Louisiana State Normal, Natchitoches, Louisiana 17, Centenary 0. This same year a girls' basketball team was announced with Professor H.C. Henderson as coach. In November 1910, another student publication called The Lookout representing the Union Literary Society listed members of the football team with D.B. Boddie, one of the players, as manager and coach. Boddie later became a Methodist preacher in the Louisiana Conference. The college catalog for 1912-1913 noted that an \"outdoor gymnasium\" had been erected and included rings, parallel bars, vaulting horses, ladders, etc. No doubt it included basketball goals since the College was fielding basketball teams at that time. This was the year when military drill was introduced and the War Department furnished rifles and other equipment. Candidates for all the teams mentioned were in short supply since there were only 70 students enrolled in 1913, and 36 of these were in the Academy (prep school attached to the College). In 1912, Paul M. Brown, Jr., was a student in the College and participated in the athletic program. In 1981, as an honored alumnus and trustee, he was interviewed by Dr. Walter Lowrey of the History Department, who gave his account of the program: \"I was involved in athletics and hungry all the time. We had a whole lot of light bread and syrup in the dining hall; The Glory Years of Football, Centenary College of Louisiana 1922-1942 and when we came in, they would fill us up with this. I don't know how good it was for our health, but we endured it. I ran with the baseball team most of the time. We played baseball in the spring and football in the winter. Two of my friends, Clint Willis and A.W. Baird, went on to LSU and Tulane University, where they starred in football and baseball. The sports we had at Centenary were \"pick up,\" and there was no such thing as pure amateurism. It was an accepted practice to pick up a good athlete, pay his way, and give him some spending money.\" In 1916, President Wynn, in his annual report to the Board of Trustees, stated that Centenary's venture into intercollegiate athletics was too costly since the total school enrollment was 77 and only 25 of these were college students. Post- War Athletics in the 1920s After World War I, the men and women of the United States armed forces returned to civilian life and began to channel their competitive energies into the arena of sports, creating a new generation of heroes unrelated to war. In baseball Babe Ruth was the famous name. His team, the New York Yankees, had a spring training camp in Shreveport in 1921, and the natives began to dream of a team of national prominence to make Shreveport its home. Other sports heroes of that day were Jack Dempsey in boxing, Bobby Jones in golf, Bill Tilden in tennis, and Jim Thorpe in football. In American colleges and universities, football was becoming king, and the famous coaches and players, trainers, cheerleaders, academic tutors (seldom mentioned), and camp followers were the subjects of a growing army of sports writers who kept the public informed as to school ratings, won-and-lost records, and statistics of individual players. The big-name schools were building huge stadiums to accommodate the growing crowds. Winning teams brought publicity and fame to their schools, and recruiters were hired to lure the best high school players. Ivy League schools such as Yale, Harvard, and Princeton were producing great teams. The University of Notre Dame was widely known through its great coach Knute Rockne and his famous football backfield called the \"Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.\" (The public knew this much about the Book of Revelation.) Some thought the Roman Catholic Church in some way brought divine wisdom and power to this winning team and its great coach! The Glory Years of Football, Centenary College of Louisiana 1922-1942 Move to Upgrade Athletics in 1919 - 1920 Homer Norton Arrives During the presidency of W.H. Bourne, beginning May 27, 1919, Centenary College made a definite move toward an academic renaissance with the ultimate goal of qualifying for an \"A\" grade status and being accepted into the highest accrediting associations of the nation. As one of the steps toward this goal, a full-time coach and athletic director, Homer Norton, was brought in during the 1919 - 1920 school year. Norton had excelled as an athlete at Birmingham-Southern College, where he was named best all-round college athlete of the southeast. After his college career, he played professional baseball two years prior to his coming to Centenary. Since President Bourne had come to Centenary from the faculty of Birmingham-Southern, he no doubt had known Norton and saw in him a man of character and coaching ability who would enhance the athletic program of Centenary. Norton also was the son of a Methodist minister, and this fact added to his credentials. After he arrived at Centenary, Norton began to put together respectable teams in basketball, football, and baseball, and the College was playing as a member of the LIAA (Louisiana Intercollegiate Athletic Association), having been admitted in 1921. In 1922, the basketball team, built around the \"Coushatta five,\" won the LIAA championship and added Ole Miss as one of its victims. Homer Norton By the fall season of 1921, Norton was able to rejuvenate the football program and make a respectable record of four games won and three lost against mostly Louisiana teams. Team members were from Shreveport or from nearby Louisiana towns. The names of this 1921 team are as follows: George Pattison, Coty Rosenblath, Lloyd McDade, Clyde Wafer, Robert L. \"Dugan\" Brown, Lamar \"Red\" Lowery, James Horton, Haywood Manheim, W.B. Worley, Albert Harper, Lloyd Townsend, Robert Read, Larry Armstrong, Stith Bynum, J.V. Hendrick, Sidney Conger, Eugene Williamson, Erwin LeBlanc, and John Preston. Several members of this 1921 team became prominent Shreveport doctors and businessmen, and one became a Methodist minister. The Glory Years of Football, Centenary College of Louisiana 1922-1942 A College Football Team That Prayed In 1920, a small church-related institution in Danville, Kentucky, Centre College, captured the imagination of the nation with a football team that had not lost a game since 1917. Coached by a unique man, Uncle Charlie Moran, who was not only coach but a friend, guide, philosopher, and trainer to the team, Centre had beaten teams such as Syracuse and Princeton, and in 1920 was invited to the Harvard stadium for a game with this national giant. Centre's team, known as the \"Praying Colonels\" of Kentucky, and led by the famous quarterback \"Bo\" McMillin, was of such national renown that over 40,000 football fans greeted them as they entered the stadium on that momentous day. Although losing 24 to 14, Centre scored twice on a Harvard team that had not been scored on in two years. The climax came the next year, 1921, when the Centre team returned for a re-match and beat the Harvard aggregation 6-0. It was accomplished by a reverse run of 32 yards by none other than the famous \"Bo\" McMillin. He had taken the measure of mighty Harvard University. This electrifying news was announced to the Centenary student body by President Sexton on November 4, 1921, when the College had a special interest in securing the services of this Centre College athlete. This famous football hero received attention from all the major newspapers and magazines of the country. His coach and the athletic director at Centre College, who produced the \"Praying Colonels,\" were placed in the spotlight as noble characters who drew upon the resources of Divine Power to inspire the team to victory. In explanation of how the Centre team had come to be known as the \"Praying Colonels,\" Bo relates the following incident: \"We were in the gymnasium getting ready for the game (with Kentucky State) and Uncle Charles (the coach) had been outlining our battle tactics. Presently he stopped short, and when he spoke again his voice was low and serious. 'I suppose I've been what some folks would call a rough cuss, but I've always played the game of life straight. You know that. I don't go in for religion, and I reckon most of you don't, either. But I believe in God and I'm sure He looks after folks who are doing their best. Won't one of you say just a word of prayer?' And then one of the players, asking The Glory Years of Football, Centenary College of Louisiana 1922-1942 the privilege of doing so in a very unconventional way, to say the least, prayed. \"It wasn't a prayer for victory. It was just an honest, whole-hearted appeal that every man that day might give the best he had in him for Old Centre; that he might play a clean game, and not be hurt badly enough so that he would have to be taken out. And Centre won the game, 3-0! That is a prayer for all of us-that we may play a clean game, and that we may not be hurt badly enough to have to be taken out. Since that afternoon, no Centre College football team has gone on to the field for a game without that word of prayer. We don't pray to win. We play to win, and pray to play our best. But we believe there's a God who wants people to be square and give the best they've got to everything they go into. I have noticed, however, that there has seldom been any profanity or rough talk around the dressing room or on the field since we started this particular habit. And I don't think there's a man of us who doesn't feel that he's stronger and finer as a result of it.\" Shreveport and Centenary Venture into Big Time Football Needless to say, the sports-minded citizens of Shreveport were fascinated by the Cinderella story of \"Bo\" McMillin and his famous football team from Centre College. Here, indeed, was another version of David and Goliath. Little Centre was the giant killer among the great universities. And a football team that prayed! Sunday School teachers could use this fact to illustrate their lessons on prayer. Youth were inspired by the example of the \"Praying Colonels,\" and a Methodist College would certainly be blessed with a football coach such as \"Bo\" McMillin. \"Bo\" McMillin Members of the Board of Trustees were impressed, especially the sports-minded, and there were several. President Sexton, forever an opportunist in his relation to the Shreveport community when Centenary College was involved, began to dream of a new coach and great football team. If Centre College could do it, Centenary could do it better! The Glory Years of Football, Centenary College of Louisiana 1922-1942 In February 1921, a key person in the \"Bo\" McMillin episode, Miss Laura Bishop, was added to the Centenary faculty as professor of English. She had been a teacher in North Fort Worth, Texas, where \"Bo\" was one of her favorite students in grammar school and later in high school. She had been teacher, counselor, and friend of this restless young athlete, and when the Fort Worth school secured R.L. Meyer from Centre College as coach, this team won the North Texas championship with \"Bo\" as the quarterback. When Coach Meyer returned to Centre College as athletic director, he took with him \"Bo\" McMillin and five other members of this high school championship team. This group of athletes from the North Fort Worth High School formed the core of the famous Centre College football team of the early 1920s. \"Bo\" McMillin was calling signals for his former high school teammates. Miss Laura Bishop knew all about the six members of the \"Praying Colonels\" football team. When the Trustees of Centenary College voted to offer \"Bo\" McMillin the coaching job, President Sexton turned to Miss Laura Bishop as the one person who could persuade him to come to Centenary. She had continued her correspondence with \"Bo\" after he went to Centre College, and now she was given authority to negotiate with him for the job at Centenary. After she contacted him, he wired back to her that he had offers from a school in Birmingham and one in Dallas at $7,000 per year. Player McMillin Miss Bishop conveyed this information to President Sexton and a Board of Trustees meeting was called for December 10, 1921. Dr. George Sexton, wise in the way of worldly publicity, presented the name of \"Bo\" McMillin as a possible coach for the Centenary College football team. This was done in an apologetic manner since he saw no way the College could pay $8,000 a year for a coach. The salary of the president was only $6,000. But E.A. Frost immediately rose to the occasion, perhaps not unprepared, and moved that McMillin be offered $8,000 per year on a two-year contract and that the citizens of Shreveport guarantee the money. The Glory Years of Football, Centenary College of Louisiana 1922-1942 Soon thereafter, McMillin signed a contract and arrived in Shreveport to make preparations for the 1922 football season. President Sexton made it plain to the student body that the popular Coach Norton would be retained. It is interesting to note that McMillin came to Shreveport from Centre College, in Danville, Kentucky, the town which had given the College of Louisiana its first president in 1825, a Presbyterian minister, the Reverend Jeremiah Chamberlain. A college that had eschewed football as a brutal and distracting game and intercollegiate athletics as wasteful of time, energy, and money, now embraces the sport with all fervor as a means of attracting attention to itself. Madison Avenue could have learned some lessons from President George Sexton. The Maroon and White (Centenary's student newspaper) ran the following headline on December 16, 1921: \"Santa Klaus puts McMillin in Centenary 's Sock! \" Other headlines followed: \"For a secluded college, Centenary has leaped into fame overnight! \" \"The histories of McMillin and Centenary are being run on presses in every state in the Union. \" \"Bo McMillin signs a 3-year contract with Centenary\" was the flaring headline that streamed across the sport pages of the leading newspapers of the United States and caused the nation's eyes to focus on Centenary. Soon thereafter a new song was written for the Centenary student body, including the following stanza and chorus (not necessarily approved by the English Department!): Unto Shreveport from the north and from the south, the east and the west, Crowds the jam of eager students to the city's pine clad crest. To develop brain and body Centenary gets the best. Great \"Bo \" is coming here. Glory, Glory, Hallelujah! Great \"Bo \" is coming here! The Glory Years of Football, Centenary College of Louisiana 1922-1942 On January 13, 1922, the new coach and his bride of a few weeks were introduced at a chapel service, and he spoke of his delight in coming to Centenary and his plans for a great football team. Soon thereafter, a group of prominent citizens organized the Shreveport-Centenary Athletic Association and gave a banquet for 250 people at the Youree Hotel honoring the new coach and saluting Centenary's promising future. Members of this new athletic association included several prominent trustees and other strong supporters of the college: George Wray, chairman, J.C. Palmer, E.A. Frost, J. B. Atkins, B.C. Garrett, T.C. Clanton, and H.B. Hearn. This new Athletic Association, organized to aid and promote athletics at Centenary, was another link in the chain that bound the city and the College together in mutual helpfulness.

Since several players on this first McMillin team were destined to be famous names in the athletic world, we herewith list the roster of lettermen: *Coty Rosenblath, Captain *Clyde Wafer Mickey Lyvers * John Preston Les Phillips James Weaver Herman Hilden Bryan Bush Maurice Ellsworth Sam York Cal Hubbard Harry White Bard Ferrall James Pierson Charles Dutton *R.

Mitchell, La. Ft. Worth, Tx. Ridgefarm, 111. Champagne, 111. Waxahachie, Tx. Shreveport, La. Only six players were carried over from the previous squad coached by Homer Norton and they are marked with asterisks. The first innovation of the new coach was a football summer camp in 1922. As previously mentioned, Centenary had acquired a tract of land on Rich Mountain near Mena, Arkansas, through some friends of President Sexton. The College experimented with a summer school at that location in 1922, and the McMillin team set up training at \"Camp Standing Rock\" in connection with the 10 The Glory Years of Football, Centenary College of Louisiana 1922-1942 summer school. One player wrote of his experience there as follows: \"Never will we forget those days spent at Camp Standing Rock. It is true that the greater part of the time was spent in intensive training. When we were not out on the field in the hot August sun we were up in the classroom listening to a lecture. But we did have some time to ourselves and many of us got a good knowledge of the mountains before leaving. The moonlight nights in the Ouachita Mountains are wonderful and they were especially impressive from the top of Standing Rock where we congregated after supper.\" * Centenary Yoncopin 1923. When the fall of 1922 arrived, the Centenary community and the citizens of Shreveport were in full anticipation of a new day in Centenary College football. President Sexton had christened the team \"Centenary Gentlemen,\" remembering the \"Praying Colonels of Kentucky\" who sent the famous \"Bo\" McMillin to Centenary. \"Doc George,\" as the president was affectionately called, attended the 1922 Summer School and continued to be an avid fan, accompanying the team on its many trips. McMillin Team Opens New Era The first game of the 1922 season was with Marshall College, and when Centenary won 77-0, the athletic world realized that something new had been added to the Shreveport school. At the end of the season with the Centenary Gentlemen scoring 295 points and the opponents scoring only 41, there was no doubt that a great new football dynasty was at hand at Centenary College. The one loss of the season was to the University of Tennessee Medical School at Memphis 0-14. Fifty players reported for duty when the season opened in 1923. Nine new names were added to the 1922 team roster: Murrell Hogue, Clarence Davis, Paul Rebsamen, Glenn Letteer, Wilburn Miller, Wayne Stone, Oscar Hill, and Hiram Lawrence. All nine came from the Ark-La-Tex. This was the year when the team lost only to Boston College in Boston, and Centenary's Cal Hubbard was named All-American. Twenty-three thousand fans saw the game in Boston, and the eastern newspapers gave little Centenary College (400 students) good national exposure. From the results of the 1923 football season, it was clear that Centenary was ready to drop the weaker teams and seek competition in the stronger athletic conferences. 11 The Glory Years of Football, Centenary College of Louisiana 1922-1942 The 1923 scores tell the story: 35-0 Southwestern Louisiana Institute 40-3 Henderson-Brown 46-7 Chattanooga 31-13 Hendrix College 46-0 Louisiana State Normal 23-0 Texas Christian University 75-0 Kentucky Normal 0-14 Boston College 34-0 Southwestern (Texas) University 14-0 Oglethorpe 27-0 Louisiana Polytechnic Institute This 1923 season heralded things to come when Centenary ventured into the Southwest Conference for the first time and defeated TCU in Fort Worth 23-0. The Gentlemen played against a team coached by Matty Bell, who had also come from Centre College and was later to become famous at Southern Methodist University. McMillin's Last Year - 1924 Eight new names appear on the 1924 team roster: O.K. Place, Theodore Schwarzer, Bryon Faulkner, Pat Weekley, Percy Wood, Emmett Meadows, Mack Flenniken, and O.W. Maddox. The previous loss to Boston College was avenged by a score of 10-9. Centenary lost only one game and that to the \"Tennessee Doctors\" of Memphis. One excuse offered for the loss was that doctors knew just where to hit to cause the most bodily injuries. This was not sustained by any scientific evidence! At the end of the 1924 football season, the three \"Bo\" McMillin football teams had won 90 percent of their games (26 out of 29) and as a result Centenary was favorably known throughout the nation. But there were also irritating problems in connection with the program. One of the obstacles to Centenary's entrance into the SIAA (Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association) was its over- emphasis on football and the cost of the athletic program. There was also considerable criticism by other schools that Centenary was using ineligible players, so much so that President Sexton, in 12 The Glory Years of Football, Centenary College of Louisiana 1922-1942 November 1923, requested the College's athletic committee to folly investigate the classroom standing of all football players. At this time, Centenary was hopefol of entering the Southwest Conference, made up primarily of Texas schools. Football Program Costly The College trustees were gravely concerned over the deficits incurred in the athletic budget, and, despite the winning record of the team, the gate receipts did not cover the expenses. Historically, this was a new and troublesome condition faced by the trustees, who in a previous century had opposed all intercollegiate athletics and banned football in particular as a brutal and dangerous game. The 1924 financial report for the football program alone showed a loss of $7, 199. Gate Receipts $28,293 Student Fees 523 Signs and Ad Space 600 Total Receipts $29,416 Coach: Salary & Housing $9,000 Assistant Coaches 2,775 Game Expenses 1 9,8 1 3 Supplies 2,500 Field 369 Other Expenses 1,872 Total $36,615 The above budget does not include athletic scholarships. The athletic budget was a disproportionate amount for a college with fewer than 500 students and a total budget of only $1 19,585. Some disturbing reports surfaced at the December meeting of the College trustees that same year. Centenary had been denied entrance into the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools as well as the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association because of the large salary of Coach McMillin and his general reputation in athletic circles. It appeared that the chief factor in making Centenary nationally known and providing growth incentive was now the chief factor in preventing the College from entering the 13 The Glory Years of Football, Centenary College of Louisiana 1922-1942 best academic and athletic circles of the South and of the nation. These agencies had serious reservations about admitting a college with an enrollment of 404 (as of June 4, 1924) that paid its football coach a $9,000 (including housing) salary and its president a salary of $6,000 plus housing. After much discussion at the December 19, 1924 meeting, the Board of Trustees ordered that McMillin be offered a one-year contract at $5,000 per annum. This of course was tantamount to a request for resignation, and it was soon forthcoming. The Centenary Conglomerate (student newspaper) of December 19, 1924, stated that after McMillin' s salary was reduced and he was relieved as coach of the football team, Centenary was admitted into the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association. The article further states that \"in losing Bo McMillin Centenary loses one of the most spectacular football players and one of the most successful coaches found in college football. Such was the price Centenary had to pay for membership in the SIAA.\" McMillin quickly accepted a coaching position at Geneva College in Pennsylvania, and a large contingent of students and other well- wishers gathered at the railway station on February 6, 1925, to bid this remarkable athlete farewell. Four Centenary players followed McMillin to Geneva : Cal Hubbard, Carl Anderson, Mack Flenniken, and O.W. Maddox. With the help of these four, Geneva was able to defeat Harvard in 1926, another upset. Cal Hubbard went on to the professional football and baseball leagues. He was later elected to both the Football Hall of Fame and the Baseball Hall of Fame, a unique honor for one of the great players of Centenary College. Earl Davis, a One- Year Coach On February 18, 1925, Centenary obtained a new coach in the person of Earl Davis from McKendree College, Lebanon, Illinois, another Methodist institution, to replace McMillin. However, the job was too difficult for the new coach. He was unpopular with the faculty and the student body, and the football players, for whatever reasons, rejected him outright. A scurrilous letter purported to be written by one of the football players raised some doubts as to the intelligence and leadership of Coach Davis. This widely distributed letter may or may not have influenced the College administration to release the coach, but in any event he was soon fired. 14 The Glory Years of Football, Centenary College of Louisiana 1922-1942 The Homer Norton Era Begins The 1925 team, with the impetus carried over from the McMillin era, lost only two games, to Tulane and Butler. The powerful Tulane team was a member of the Southwestern Conference and drew 10,000 to the game on Thanksgiving Day in Shreveport. Members of this 1925 Centenary varsity team were: Paul Rebsaman, Percy Wood, Byron Faulkner, W.F. Bozeman, Otto Duckworth, John Preston, Ernest Kepke, Audie Marsalis, Glen Crawford, Sam York, Jim Pierson, Clarence Davis, Zolie Benett, Wayne Stone, J. Horton, Hiram Lawrence, Crawford Young, Clyde Faulk, Walter Stewart, Glen Letteer, Emmet Meadows, Files Binion, Harry White, Al Beam, Beverly Faulk, and Lloyd Clanton. A strong freshman team was waiting in the wings. Most of these players were from the Ark-La-Tex. For the 1926 football season, a wise move was made when Norton was named head coach and George D. Hoy, coach of the strong Shreveport High School football team, was brought to Centenary as assistant coach. Coach Hoy brought with him several of his football players who graduated that year, including Jake Hanna, who became an outstanding star and later the head coach of the Gentlemen. The choice of Norton as head coach in 1926 was soon followed by another national honor for Centenary when Norton was elected to membership in the National Coaches Association. Homer Norton George Hoy Curtis Parker Joins Coaching Staff Another successful deal in 1926 brought Curtis Parker as basketball coach and coach of the freshman football team. Parker was a recent graduate of the University of Arkansas where he had been an all-round athlete. He fitted into the Centenary tradition with his zeal, intelligence, and dedication not only to the athletic program but to the general welfare of the College. He was a popular figure on the campus and in the Shreveport community. His basketball teams had a winning record, and, at a later date, Curtis Parker 15 The Glory Years of Football, Centenary College of Louisiana 1922-1942 after Norton left, he moved up to head football coach, in which position he was a winning coach in his own right. Winning in the Southwest Conference As previously noted, the Centenary Gentlemen in 1923 played one game in the Southwest Conference, defeating Texas Christian University in Fort Worth. President Sexton and his coaching staff had high hopes of Centenary's being admitted to this conference, and beginning in 1926 teams from this conference were scheduled on a regular basis. The 1926 schedule included Texas Christian, Southern Methodist, and the University of Arkansas. Although losing to all three by a close margin in 1926, Centenary soon took the full measure of these powerful schools and became the scourge of that conference. One year later, four of these schools were victims of the undefeated Centenary Gentlemen. The 1927 Undefeated Team By 1927, the Centenary football team began to reach its zenith. Coach Parker, of the freshman team, was feeding well-trained players into the varsity unit, and coaches Norton and Hoy were producing great teams from a large roster of young athletes who were coming mostly from the surrounding towns and cities. This 1927 team was the first to go through the season without a loss, and among the teams defeated were four powers in the Southwest Conference - Southern Methodist, Baylor, Rice, and Texas Christian. > I >*,<\"« 1927 Undefeated Centenary Football Team 16 The Glory Years of Football, Centenary College of Louisiana 1922-1942 The large roster of varsity players gives some idea of the dominant place football now played in the program of Centenary: Franklin Allday, W. F. Bozeman, Robert Brown, Emory Browne, John T. Cox, Paul Crawford, Elwood Davis, Harry Davis, Beverly Faulk, Roland Faulk, Robert Goodrich, Ted Gregg, Ernest Guinn, Clarence Hamel, Jake Hanna, Tony Hernandez, Joe Holloway, Ted Jefferies, Louis Jennings, Wiltz Ledbetter, Charles Lindsay, Joe Magrill, Peyton Mangum, Audie Marsalis, J. B. Parrish, Leon Price, Hubert A. Reaves, Jerome Scanlon, R. D. Sims, Charles Smith, Marvin Speights, Kermit Stewart, Stanley Thomas, Tom Wafer, W. E. Ward, Fred Willis, E. L. Zechiedrich, Files Binion, Fritz Blackshear, Otto Duckworth, Morris Jarratt, William A. Robinson, and Ryland Schaal. In 1927, as Centenary began to win games in the Southwest Conference, sports writers in some of the Texas newspapers accused it of playing \"ineligible ringers,\" even declaring that some players were sent by McMillin from his Geneva team for the SMU game to be played in Shreveport. These libelous reports aroused the ire of President Sexton, and he fired off telegrams and letters stating clearly that Centenary played only eligible players under the rules of the SIAA. The Dallas Times Herald, heeding the warning of President Sexton, quickly published an apology and correction on October 8, 1927: A Correction \"There appeared in The Times Herald of Wednesday, October 5, 1927, a paragraph under the heading 'Pigskin Cracklins, 1 by Bill Parker, reflecting upon the character, personnel and eligibility of Centenary college football team. \"The statement that 'they will be playing a bunch of ringers,' referring to Centenary college football team, made by Bill Parker, is untrue. It unjustly reflects upon Centenary college football team. n The Times Herald apologizes to Centenary college and to the boys composing the football team for this statement made by Bill Parker.\" 17 The Glory Years of Football, Centenary College of Louisiana 1922-1942 The Jake Hanna Years We are indebted to Jake Hanna, bearing a famous Shreveport family name, for a colorfiil account of his years as a football player at Centenary and later as coach. \"I entered Centenary in February 1927 with 12 other members of the Byrd High School football team because our assistant coach, George Hoy, was joining the athletic department there. On September 24, 1927 I played my first varsity game on our home field, and a local newspaper promoted it with the following article: Bargain price for Gents first battle of year \"In an effort to bring out new patrons and to stimulate interest in football, admission price has been cut to $1 . Interest in the Centenary football team has been high and season ticket sales greater than ever. President Sexton hopes to increase the football colony this fall. \"Coaches Norton and Hoy had an aggregation of young fellows who loved the game of football, and the great psychologist Norton used more than we realized to produce the undefeated team of 1927 and other successful seasons to follow. \"As the Gentlemen became more and more a threat to Southwest Conference teams there was much speculation as to the chances for Centenary to become a member of that powerful conference. Texas sports writers and the Associated Press spoke favorably for this, but practical evaluation must have prevailed. At this time Centenary's total enrollment was about 500 and this must have had a great bearing in the matter being dropped.\" \"On October 13, 1928 after Centenary defeated Texas A & M, the lead story from College Station read as follows: 18 The Glory Years of Football, Centenary College of Louisiana 1922-1942 Coach Homer Norton's Centenary College Gentlemen dropped in from Shreveport Saturday afternoon to hand the Texas Aggies the first licking they had received on Kyle Field since 1926. \"Coach Dana X. Bible's Texas Aggies had been conference champions in 1927. \"During those years Shreveport fans were the most loyal to be found. When the special trains of supporters followed the team to out of town games there can be no doubt that their kind of enthusiasm carried over to the players. Newspaper coverage for all the games was superb.\" 1932 Undefeated Centenary Football Team The great team of 1932, which helped celebrate the opening of the new stadium by beating Louisiana State University and going on to an undefeated season, was composed of the following who won letters that year: Melford Allums, Perry Ames, John Henry Blakemore, Ben Cameron, Paul Geisler, Louis Glumac, Joe Guillory, Morse Harper, Maurice Morgan, Ralph Murff, Joe Oliphant, Wood Osborne, Harold Oslin, Raymond Parker, Jerry Sellers, Manning Smith, Theo Taylor, Eddie Townson, Robert Waters, Fred Williams, Tommy Wilson and Richard Young. After the win over Louisiana State University, a Shreveport sports writer noted, \"A tiny gridiron spark that had been smoldering in the hearts of successive Centenary College football players for about ten years burst into a roaring flame at Centenary College stadium Saturday afternoon and claimed as its victim the LSU Tigers, a prey it had stalked lo these many moons.\" The Associated Press wrote of this 1932 team: \"Centenary College of Shreveport with about 400 students and hardly enough players to make two football teams, has the title 'wonder team of the south'. Not since the praying colonels of little Centre College 19 The Glory Years of Football, Centenary College of Louisiana 1922-1942 wrote southern football history a decade ago has a smaller college taken the spotlight like the Centenary Gentlemen of 1932. It's a little team that never gives up.\" So great were the achievements of Coach Homer Norton in this 1932 season that the college Yoncopin of 1933 was dedicated to him. Football Wins Wide Support In the middle and late 1930s when the economic depression was taking its greatest toll on the nation, and the College was cutting back on all expenditures, even to the point of delaying salary payments to the faculty, the football teams lifted the spirits of the College and the Shreveport community with victories against some of the great colleges and universities of the nation. The football trip to Los Angeles and to schools in Iowa, Kentucky, Ohio, Illinois, Oklahoma, and Arizona generated excitement and enthusiasm as special trains carried the teams, the band, the cheering squads and large contingents of Shreveport supporters. Pullman cars were plastered with Centenary banners and graffiti for all to see as the trains moved through the towns and cities. In 1936 a special football train of the Illinois Central was announced for the game with the University of Mississippi at Jackson on November 23. The train left Shreveport at 7 a.m. and arrived at Jackson at 12:15 p.m. After the game, the train left Jackson at 6: 1 5 p.m. and arrived in Shreveport at 1 1 :45 p.m. The round-trip fare in the day coach was $3.25. In 1937, for the game with Loyola at Los Angeles, special cars carried the team, the band, the Maroon Jackets, and a large group of students and Shreveport supporters. The trips into Texas for games at Dallas, Houston, Austin, and Fort Worth provided ample opportunity for fun and frolic by the student body and the numerous Shreveport fans. The Texas sports writers gave wide publicity to this little Shreveport school; and when the team won, it was an easy matter to recruit students from the Lone Star State. We have already mentioned the benefits of the football program in the Shreveport community in drawing support for the College from wealthy citizens who had a special interest in sports. The spectacular athletic teams of Centenary provided the Shreveport- Bossier City complex with bragging rights and a measure of civic pride. 20 The Glory Years of Football, Centenary College of Louisiana 1922-1942 Ten Years of Football Glory Beginning in 1927, when the football program at Centenary had fully developed, and continuing through the 1936 season, the teams of that decade wrote a glorious chapter in the annals of the oldest chartered liberal arts college west of the Mississippi River. With fewer than 900 students in any one year and during the darkest days of the economic depression this little Southern college was able to fashion a football team made up of athletes recruited mostly from Louisiana and the nearby states, that won 73 games, lost 22, and tied 1 1 in competition with some of the great schools of the nation. Playing against the powerful teams of the Southwest Conference during these ten years, Centenary established a record of 23 victories, 1 1 losses, and 5 ties. In addition to the teams named above, Centenary played and defeated several of the outstanding colleges and universities of the country: Boston College, University of Chattanooga, University of Iowa, University of Arizona, University of Mississippi, Loyola University of Los Angeles, De Paul University, University of Louisville, St. Louis University, and Louisiana State University. w; Homer Norton to Texas A & M 'ith a nation-wide reputation as coach and athletic director, and with a winning record against the football teams of the Southwest Conference, Homer Norton was persuaded to accept a lucrative coaching job at Texas A & M in 1934. Norton was soon well established there, and after a successful career in coaching he settled in College Station as a successful businessman. At Centenary, Curtis Parker moved up to athletic director and head football coach with E. T. Renfro as assistant. Walter \"Cowboy\" Hohmann: A Football Great Tells His Story O: ne of the athletes playing on the football team 1933-1936 (was Walter \"Cowboy\" Hohmann. He heard of Centenary College as a football power from the coach of his high school near Chicago. His arrival at Centenary in 1933 and his subsequent experiences there are the subject of a taped interview made by the author after Hohmann' s retirement. \"After arriving by bus from Chicago I was checked in and then had to wait to see if I made the football team. It was hard living and my scholarship required that I work on the 21 The Glory Years of Football, Centenary College of Louisiana 1922-1942 campus. Our team played and beat some of the great schools of the nation. Homer Norton, our coach from Birmingham-Southern College, was a great influence on the lives of the players, and after he went to Texas A & M Curtis Parker carried on. All athletes were required to meet the academic requirements. I found the teachers to be wonderful people as well as great instructors, and I especially remember Dean Hardin, Dr. R.E. Smith, Dr. J.B. Entrikin, Mrs. Arthur Campbell, Dr. Pierce Cline, Dr. S.A. Steger, Dr. Mary Warters, and others. \"The Shreveport business community was very much in support of the college, and the athletic teams in their games proved to be a rallying point for the town people, and the entire college community. All of us were aware of the strong sense of fellowship throughout the life of the college. When I came back in 1963 as dean of students I found a college that had grown in amazing proportions with many new professors and buildings, but the same great community spirit in the students and faculty.\" Hohmann fitted into the Centenary tradition not only as an outstanding football player but also as an all-round student and leader on the campus, serious about getting an education and being useful in society. In 1937, he was named freshman football coach. Centenary Football Casualty of Word War II With the advent of World War II in 1939, the great years of Centenary football came to an end. The actual decline in football power began in 1937 with an increase in the number of games lost and a decrease in the number of major teams scheduled. With former coach Homer Norton installed as the successful coach of Texas A & M and the rising powers of the Southwest Conference, recruiting in Texas was no longer an easy matter for the Gentlemen. Centenary continued to be a small college with fewer than 1,000 students as opposed to the great schools of the Southwest Conference and other conferences included in Centenary's schedule. Since Centenary was never admitted to the major athletic conferences, it became more and more difficult to include the larger schools in its schedule. Interest in the home games began to wane, and subsequent losses in income created a continuous financial crisis at a time when the College could ill afford any financial losses. 22 The Glory Years of Football, Centenary College of Louisiana 1922-1942 The decline of the great Centenary Gentlemen football program may be plotted by the won and lost records beginning in 1937: 1937 Won 6, lost 4, tied 2 1938 Won 7, lost 4 1939 Won 2, lost 9, tied 1 1940 Won 3, lost 7 1941 Won 1, lost 7, tied 2 Although these were losing seasons, there were several outstanding players on the teams whose personal records are worthy of note: Alvin Birklebach, Winfred Bynum, Ogbourne Rawlinson, Ed Whitehurst, Claude Teel, Jimmy Patterson, and others. Curtis Parker Resigns - Jake Hanna Returns The year 1940 brought another coaching change for the Centenary Gentlemen football team when Curtis Parker resigned to enter the oil business in Shreveport and Centenary brought Jake Hanna, one of its own great players of recent years, back to the campus as head coach. The 1940 Yoncopin presented a full-page picture of Hanna with this caption: \"A Star Returns.\" C Coach Hanna' s Last Teams oach Jake Hanna has written an interesting account of the last teams prior to the end of World War II. \"Eleven years after graduation from Centenary the great privilege of returning to the school was given me when I was offered the position of athletic director and head coach. In January 1940, my contract was presented by the Centenary Athletic Committee composed of Charlton H. Lyons, Sr., John McCormick, Henry O'Neal, Bonneau Peters and Allen Norris. Dr. Pierce Cline, who had been my history professor while I was a student, was now president of the college and he encouraged me to accept the coaching position. He had been one of the best of friends to me as a student and continued to be to the end of his life. Returning to my alma mater as a member of the faculty might be considered my post-graduate degree. \"I was fortunate to have continue on the athletic staff the capable service and support of Elmer Smith as backfield 23 The Glory Years of Football, Centenary College of Louisiana 1922-1942 coach and scout, Tom Cobb as line coach, and trainer Marvin \"Hoof Gibson. \"I was soon to meet a group of strong, talented and knowledgeable young men who were the material I was to work with in preparing for a football season in 1940. \"I was not prepared for the financial difficulties under which the athletic department had operated for a number of years. This obstacle combined with the cloud of World War II became my major problems and made long-range planning a dismal prospect. \"Perhaps the best summary of events taking place in the athletic department over the next two years, 1940-1942, may be compared to another era in Centenary College's history when in 1861 inscribed in the faculty minutes were written the dramatic words: 'Students have all gone to war. College suspended. And God help the right.\"' ■ v - - ?* \\ x /^ 1939 team meets new coach, Jake Hanna As Coach Jake Hanna indicated in his article previously quoted, the military draft in 1940 and 1941 wrought havoc with his squad of players, and Centenary's football program declined precipitously. The record for the 1940 season was three games won and seven lost. The final season, 1941, recorded no games won, eight lost and two tied against the following opponents: 24 The Glory Years of Football, Centenary College of Louisiana 1922-1942 Centenary 0, Millsaps 20 Centenary 20, Creighton 32 Centenary 6, Louisiana Normal 6 Centenary 6, Hardin - Simmons 27 Centenary 0, Texas Tech 25 Centenary 7, Washington Univ. (St. Louis), 13 Centenary 0, Rice University 54 Centenary 7, Texas Christian University 35 Centenary 0, Southwestern (Memphis) Centenary 7, Louisiana Tech 39 After football was dropped, Jake Hanna continued at Centenary as athletic director and developed an excellent program of intramural sports that included most of the student body. Demise of the Football Program As early as May 1939, the trustees began to think seriously about discontinuing the football program. Two of the strongest trustees, J.B. Atkins and George Wray, headed the athletic committee. They were well aware of the problem of deficit financing for the program each year. The gate receipts continued to decline. At the end of the 1939 season, two meetings of the executive committee gave full attention to problems of the athletic program. At the annual meeting of the College trustees on May 21, 1940, it was reported that $5,000 had been advanced to the football program from the operating fund, and again the program was placed on probation. One year later the Board of Trustees again considered scrapping the football program. Attendance and gate receipts continued downward, and the team was no longer playing colleges from the major athletic conferences. The executive committee of the Board of Trustees finally blew the whistle on the football program on December 12, 1941, after another disastrous season. For the duration of the war, football was dead at Centenary. A committee was named to solicit funds to pay the athletic program deficit, a problem which had plagued the College since the glory years of football in the 1920s and 1930s despite the support of the Chamber of Commerce and many sports- minded citizens. After the war ended in 1945, the College moved to reinstate all phases of intercollegiate athletics. However, football had to wait 25 The Glory Years of Football, Centenary College of Louisiana 1922-1942 until 1947. The basketball program was reinstated in full, beginning with the 1946 season. In December of 1946, a committee of seven was created to reinstate a football program. Jess Thompson of Lawton, Oklahoma, was invited to the coaching position, with Paul Cochran as assistant. These two had been coaches at Cameron State Junior College in Lawton, Oklahoma. Mr. Charles Rollins, a local business executive, was employed as administrative assistant to the athletic committee, with responsibility for ticket sales and arranging the game schedules. The coach was paid $5500 and his assistant, $4000. Since the old wooden stadium was in disrepair, arrangements were made to use the Shreveport Fair Grounds stadium. Mr. Arch Haynes gave $10,000 to improve the Centenary athletic field for baseball and for football practice. Again we see the great interest of Mr. Haynes in the Centenary athletic program and his continual financial support of the College. The attempt to reinstate the football program came to a halt at the end of the 1947 season. The trial run of one year was a disaster in terms of the won-lost columns, the attendance for the home games, and consequently the financial loss. The 1948 college Yoncopin gave pictures of the coaches and players of the 1947 team and an apologetic write up of each game. Out often games, Centenary won only one and that was against lowly Louisiana College, never a great football power. Few of the competing colleges were well known in Shreveport. Perhaps the crudest blow of all that year was the loss to Centenary's ancient rival, Louisiana Tech, by a score of 51 to 14. This 1948 Yoncopin portrays coach Jess Thompson as a big muscular man with a hard-set jaw and serious demeanor. Thirty- five players are featured in various action poses with fierce and threatening gestures, carrying or throwing the ball, but on the playing field the whole aggregation was easily subdued. The Chamber of Commerce withdrew its subsidy of the program, and coaches Thompson and Cochran were relieved of their duties. The executive committee of the Board of Trustees on December 15, 1947 made it official and final that intercollegiate football was dead at Centenary College. This was confirmed at the annual meeting of the Board of Trustees on May 29, 1948, and President Mickle mildly lamented the demise of this once spectacular program at Centenary. Other programs were now developing that gave lasting fame and prestige to the institution. 26 The Glory Years of Football, Centenary College of Louisiana 1922-1942 Football Remembered The football program at Centenary College had written a glorious chapter and deposited a vast fund of memories in the annals of this ancient and honorable institution of learning. All hail to President George Sexton, who wisely set the enlarged football program in motion, to the Board of Trustees and the athletic committees, to the Shreveport Chamber of Commerce, and the loyal friends of the College whose financial support made it all possible. All hail to the capable and dedicated coaches, Homer Norton, \"Bo\" McMillin, Curtis Parker, and Jake Hanna, the trainers and business managers, and the assistant coaches. All hail to the outstanding athletes of the great teams including those who failed to win the coveted letter \"C\" but bore the brunt of pounding from the varsity squad. All hail to the supportive student body and the fans who filled the stadium and accompanied the team on its many trips. Hail to all those known and unknown who made possible this epic period in the history of Centenary College of Louisiana. To the glory years of football at Centenary, Hail and Farewell!

[ { "answer": "Joseph", "passage": "When at six months of age he tumbled down a flight of stairs unharmed, he was given the name \"Buster\" by Harry Houdini who, along with W.C. Fields , Bill Robinson (\"Bojangles\"), Eddie Cantor and Al Jolson shared headlines with \"The Three Keatons\": Buster, his father Joe Keaton and mother Myra Keaton . Their act, one of the most dangerous in vaudeville, was about how to discipline a prankster child. Buster was thrown all over the stage and even into the audience. No matter what the stunt, he was poker-faced. By the time Buster turned 21, however, his father was such a severe alcoholic that the stunts became too dangerous to perform and the act dissolved. He first saw a movie studio in March 1917 and, on April 23, his debut film, Roscoe 'Fatty' Arbuckle 's The Butcher Boy (1917), was released. He stayed with Fatty through 15 two-reelers, even though he was offered much more to sign with Fox or Warner Bros. after returning from ten months with the U.S. Army (40th Infantry Division) in France. His first full-length feature, The Saphead (1920), established him as a star in his own right. By the middle of 1921 he had his own production company--Buster Keaton Productions--and was writing, directing and starring in his own films. With a small and close team around him, Keaton created some of the most beautiful and imaginative films of the silent era. The General (1926), his favorite, was one of the last films over which he had artistic control. In 1928 he reluctantly signed with MGM after his contract with independent producer Joseph M. Schenck expired. MGM quickly began to enforce its rigid, mechanized style of filmmaking on Keaton, swamping him with gag writers and scripts. He fought against it for a time, and the compromise was initially fruitful, his first film for MGM-- The Cameraman (1928)--being one of his finest. However,with his creativity becoming increasingly stifled he began to drink excessively, despondent at having to perform material that was beneath him. Ironically, his films around 1930 were his most successful to date in terms of box-office receipts, which confirmed to MGM that its formula was right. His drinking led to a disregard for schedules and erratic behavior on the MGM lot, and a disastrous confrontation with Louis B. Mayer resulted in him being fired. The diplomatic producer Irving Thalberg attempted to smooth things over but Keaton was past caring. By 1932 he was a divorced alcoholic, getting work where he could, mostly in short comedies. In 1935 he entered a mental hospital. MGM rehired him in 1937 as a $100-a-week gag writer (his salary ten years before was more than ten times this amount). The occasional film was a boost to this steady income. In 1947 his career rebounded with a live appearance at Cirque Medrano in Paris. In 1952 James Mason , who then owned Keaton's Hollywood mansion, found a secret store of presumably lost nitrate stock of many of Buster's early films; film historian and archivist Raymond Rohauer began a serious collection/preservation of Buster's work. In 1957 Buster appeared with Charles Chaplin in Limelight (1952) and his film biography, The Buster Keaton Story (1957), was released. Two years later he received a special Oscar for his life work in comedy, and he began to receive the accolades he so richly deserved, with festivals around the world honoring his work.

Until the first DC-8-50 the company had ordered in early 1965 was delivered, long-haul services using the type were provided with wet-leased aircraft from KLM. By , the first DC-8-50 was already forming part of the company's fleet along with the three Convair 880s, while an additional DC-8-50 was on order. To complement these two DC-8-50s, the carrier ordered two Douglas DC-8-63s in early 1967. Two Convair 880s were sold to Cathay Pacific in mid-1967. Also in 1967, Viasa started up a Panamanian airline named Panameña Internacional de Aviación SA (PAISA), with KLM support; This company started operations on 3 May 1967 with two DC-9-10s leased to VIASA from Avensa, which were in turn sub-leased to PAISA. In 1968, VIASA set up a wholly owned, non-IATA member, national cargo airline named Transportes Aereos de Carga SA, more commonly known as Transcarga, which in its beginnings served Caracas, Curaçao, Maracaibo, Miami and New York.

He was often credited with virtually single-handedly inventing modern motion picture story-telling techniques. He did not actually invent such concepts as close-ups and editing, which had been around for years when he started making films in 1908. But Griffith, unlike many filmmakers of the early years, was able to recognize and exploit the dramatic impact of these devices, developing them to the point that film became a genuine expressive art form. Unable to make a living at his chosen profession of stage actor and playwright, he accepted a job as a film actor and soon turned to directing. At the Biograph studio he directed well over 400 short films, experimenting with different techniques, acting styles, and subject matter, and gauging their effect on the audience. With the help of veteran cameraman G.

He also helped pioneer filmed stories that lasted longer than about 15 minutes on the screen, or the amount of film that would fit on one 1,000-foot reel (the maximum capacity of most projectors of the time). Over the initial objections of his employers, by 1911 he was making two-reel films, and in 1913 secretly planned to make his production of Judith of Bethulia into a biblical epic that ran an hour, or four reels. It was not the first film of such a length, nor even the first four-reel American film (the French Queen Elizabeth and the American Richard III and Cleopatra are four- and five-reel productions from 1912 that have survived). Movie patrons were starting to develop a taste for \"feature-length\" attractions and Biograph officials were finally realizing this, but for defying their authority they demoted Griffith to a \"supervisor\" and delayed releasing the film for several months.", "precise_score": 3.4193952083587646, "rough_score": 1.3842482566833496, "source": "search", "title": "D.

Gentlemen Prefer Blondes is a triumph of a film, blatantly and unapologetically about sex, romance and savvy dames with phenomenal bodies who can sing and dance. Nightclub singers Dorothy Shaw and Lorelei Lee (Jane Russell and Marilyn Monroe) are \"Just Two Little Girls From Little Rock,\" as the song says, on a luxury cruise to Europe, paid for by gold digger Lorelei's wealthy beau. Dorothy falls for the private detective who's secretly spying on Lorelei, and some messiness about possible stolen diamonds ensue. The plot is secondary to the joys of watching the delicious Russell and Monroe together — Russell as the smart, street-wise Dorothy who's holding out for true love, and Monroe as the smart dumb blonde who knows how to get what she wants. The musical numbers are sexy, funny and brilliantly executed — the frankly homoerotic \"Ain't Anyone Here For Love?\" features Russell cavorting with a group of gymnast/dancers in revealing, flesh-colored swim trunks, thrusting muscled legs and tight butts akimbo, and Marilyn's classic turn in \"Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend\" still shows what a cut-rate poseur that Madonna person is.

Although De Forest ultimately won the case in the courts, Owens is today recognized as a central innovator in the field. The following year, De Forest's studio released the first commercial dramatic film shot as a talking picture—the two-reeler Love's Old Sweet Song, directed by J. Searle Dawley and featuring Una Merkel . [13] Phonofilms' stock in trade, however, was not original dramas but celebrity documentaries, popular music acts, and comedy performances. President Calvin Coolidge , opera singer Abbie Mitchell , and vaudeville stars such as Phil Baker , Ben Bernie , Eddie Cantor , and Oscar Levant appeared in the firm's pictures. Hollywood remained suspicious, even fearful, of the new technology. As Photoplay editor James Quirk put it in March 1924, \"Talking pictures are perfected, says Dr. Lee De Forest. So is castor oil.\" [14] De Forest's process continued to be used through 1927 in the United States for dozens of short Phonofilms; in the UK it was employed a few years longer for both shorts and features by British Sound Film Productions, a subsidiary of British Talking Pictures, which purchased the primary Phonofilm assets.

In June, a Fox sound newsreel depicting his return welcomes in New York and Washington, D.C., was shown. These were the two most acclaimed sound motion pictures to date. [23] In May, as well, Fox had released the first Hollywood fiction film with synchronized dialogue: the short They're Coming to Get Me, starring comedian Chic Sale . [24] After rereleasing a few silent feature hits, such as Seventh Heaven , with recorded music, Fox came out with its first original Movietone feature on September 23 : Sunrise , by acclaimed German director F. W. Murnau . As with Don Juan, the film's soundtrack was comprised of a musical score and sound effects (including, in a couple of crowd scenes, \"wild\", nonspecific vocals). Then, on October 6 , 1927 , Warner Bros.' The Jazz Singer premiered. It was a smash box office success for the mid-level studio, earning a total of $2.625 million in the U.S. and abroad, almost a million dollars more than the previous record for a Warners film.

These days, I never listen to it because I own all the albums that these songs come from. If you're just starting to get into Elton John, though, this album covers his great years from 1970-76. These days, I don't really love \"Daniel\" or \"Crocodile Rock,\" but this album is just fantastic. EJ is a true original. He rocks well, but there's something beyond simple rock or simple ballads in his music. Tupac and Mary J Blige have had hits sampling him. He's played with every great rock artist. His music has the best of pop, rock, soul, and classical touches. And that voice. He taught me how to sing. The person that wrote that Elton John didn't write his own songs is misinformed. He co-writes with lyricists, but he writes the music and melodies for all of his songs. All of these songs are co-written (lyrically) by Bernie Taupin. So what? Brian Wilson (of the Beach Boys) had a lyric co-writer. Paul McCartney and John Lennon wrote songs together. What's the guy's point? Oh, and the person that said that Elton John doesn't stand the test of time??? Name an artist who had had as many hits over such a long period of time and is still recognized today? Sure, EJ isn't churning out hits like he used to, but he's still relevant enough to have collaborated with boy bands and Eminem. I'd love to hear someone name an artist with as much staying power as Elton John. Even more \"important\" bands folded DECADES before Elton hit harder times. EJ is about 60. He's entitled to slow down, and that doesn't invalidate any of his earlier work. Anyone who thinks that you should forget ALL music that's more than a few years old needs to get a bit older...we'll see if he holds on to that opinion when he's 30 or so.", "precise_score": -100, "rough_score": -5.8869781494140625, "source": "search", "title": "Greatest Hits by Elton John on Apple Music" } ]
