If it's true that we're known by the company we keep, then Texas humorist, First Amendment Advocate, "Hee Haw's homespun philosopher, and 1950's media blacklist buster, John Henry Faulk's character was first quality. His story intersects some of America's best and brightest: Eugene Victor Debs, the "Texas Triumvirate," Edward R. Murrow, Mark Goodson, Louis Nizer, Myrna Loy, Eleanor Roosevelt, Joe Papp, and host of others. Consciously risking a lucrative television career, he seized "the buz...

À travers la figure exemplaire des cheikhat c’est l’ensemble des mutations et contradictions du Maroc moderne que l’auteur donne à voir. Entre tradition et modernité. Entre villes et campagnes. Entre islam et islamisme. Mais aussi entre tradition et folklore, entre émancipation et exploitation. La cheikha, chanteuse traditionnelle autrefois respectée et honorée, seule maîtresse de la fête, est devenue une danseuse lascive méprisée, repoussée aux franges de la misère et de la prostitution. Que deviennent ces femmes ? Qui revendique une parenté avec les cheikhat ? On s’en détache, on s’en distingue. On les met à distance. Transgresser les espaces, entre les hommes et les femmes, du domaine public au domaine privé, de l’intime à la rue, tel est l’ultime outrage des cheikhat aux normes sociales. Corps séduisant, corps licencieux, la cheikha incarne le contre-exemple, la femme affranchie des codes de bonne conduite qui régissent la société marocaine. Une enquête aux fortes consonances humaines sur une face cachée du Maghreb.

As part of its effort to rid the nation of Communist influence and infiltration, the House Un-American Activities Committee subpoenaed hundreds of actors, screenwriters, producers, and directors with suspected ""Red"" leanings in 1947. Some of these film industry veterans, including screenwriter Paul Jarrico (1915--1997), refused to testify on Capitol Hill and were denied subsequent employment. In The Marxist and the Movies, Larry Ceplair illuminates the life, career, and political activism of Jarrico, the recipient of an Oscar nomination for his screenplay for Tom, Dick, and Harry (1941) a

To trace the life of Marie Dorval through the turbulences and exhilarations of her epoch is to engage not just with the genesis and the full flowering of a rare theatrical genius but also with the teeming literary, emotional, economic and material dramas in which such a genius is implacably embroiled. Dumas, Vigny, Hugo, Sand, Gautier and many others mingle their creative and affective energies with Dorval’s in a ceaseless dynamic interplay. But to read Bettina Knapp’s exceptional story is to realize too the so easily overlooked backcloth to life in Marie Dorval’s times: poverty, the need to will one’s survival, unimaginably trying circumstances in which theatre is performed, whether in the provinces or in Paris. And the account that follows further seeks, upon this at once intimate and societal canvas, to give us some real insight into the uniqueness of Dorval’s acting techniques, simultaneously instinctive, viscerally natural, and learned, studied, though more from life than instruction. A book for actors, indeed; but a book, too, for lovers of the theatre and, beyond that, of the sheer improbable drama of existence.
