  2. Chautauqua in Arkansas, 1919 Photo: LOC The Chautauqua Movement grew out of the Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Circle. As its members and graduates spread the ‘chautauqua’ idea, many towns, especially in rural areas where opportunities for secondary education were limited, established “chautauquas.” Chautauquas had a degree of cachet and became shorthand for an organized gathering intended to introduce people to the new, great ideas and issues of public concern. “Independent assemblies,” those with permanent buildings and staff could be found throughout the U.S. by 1900, but were mainly concentrated in the Midwest. After 1900, the “circuit chautauqua” became the principle expression of the movement. At the height of the Chautauqua Movement, around 1915, some 12,000 communities had hosted a chautauqua. Many of the lecturers and performers were contracted by chautauqua agencies, the most notable of which was the Redpath Agency in Iowa. The quality of the offerings varied from Vassar-educated lecturers and Shakespeare to animal acts and vaudeville farce. The Chautauqua movement nearly died in the mid-1930s. Most historians cite the rise of car culture, radio, and movies as the causes, but there were several other important yet subtle reasons for the decline. One reason was the sharp increase in fundamentalism and evangelical Christianity in the 1920s; the bland, non-denominationalism exhibited at most chautauquas couldn’t accommodate these impulses. Many small independent chautauquas, however, became essentially camp meetings or church camps. Another seemingly contradictory influence was the rise of the liberated, educated woman. Chautauquas functioned for many lower- and middle-class women much as elite women’s colleges did for upper-class women. They were training grounds from which women could launch “real” careers. When professional and educational opportunities increased, women’s interest in chautauquas dwindled. Finally, the Depression itself made chautauquas economically impossible for organizers and audiences. Today, chautauquas are experiencing a small renaissance. People are discovering that lifelong learning is one of the keys to living a happy, fulfilling life. Throughout North America, existing chautauquas are thriving and ones from the past are being resurrected. Source: www.chautauqua.com <><><><> Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Archival Collection Daniel D.

  4. That is your best bet...test. See theory in practice. Share your tests with us when you get them done.
  5. Ummmm...that is nice! Is that the original film or your copy? Very pristine, looks new. Do you do any scanning in your dept Frank or are you all film? If you do scans, what type of scanner do you operate? What sort of material do you have on Bay State Film? Looks like you can find out as much about them as can be found out about Cine Art aka Hollywood Film aka Hollywood Featurette...very little on Google. Do you know anything about Cine Art, Frank...that is my pet interest. Cine Art produced lots of shorts in the 20's - 40s. Cine Art film - NSFW Tons of stuff on Houdini at eBay. Good luck!
  6. The Acting Genius of Maggie Smith - Clip From 'The Prime Of Miss Jean Brodie' 1969 D.D.Teoli Jr. A.C. : D.D.Teoli Jr. A.C. : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive 4 actors in the scene. Everyone acting their part to perfection. The amount of work needed to edit an actual feature film, on film, as opposed to digital must be mind boggling. I cut up lots of other people's films and have to go back and forth to split second the edits for comparison...but it is all digital. I can't imagine the work needed to go back and forth with one edit compared to another when doing film. I did some actual film editing in Jr. College at LACC back in the day. Didn't particularly like it. And now that I got old, too much concentration irritates my stomach ulcer. In any case, I do lots of basic edits now, so making up for all that lost time doing film edits. Edits, acting, along with camerawork, make or break the film. But just having the best equipment won't guarantee the best result. Talent is the key! ...an archer is known for their aim and not their arrows. <><><><> Cine' Kodak 1931 DDTJRAC Daniel D.

  7. Before magnetic tape, they used magnetic wire. $295 was a lot of $ back then. I just scanned some projector sales literature from the 1950's. Some of the projectors were very pricey.

  8. Baia ad 1948 - DDTJRAC Perry had made a film trimmer something like this to cut custom size leader. His was just more robust than the Baia. Look at that crazy fade attachment! Don't know how it worked, but came with a cable release. Been finishing up scanning gloss catalogs / paperwork. Still have about 10 inches to go. Will start on matte black ink soon. They have to be flatbed scanned by hand or the matte back ink fouls the sheet fed rollers and everything gets ruined. So far, this year have scanned 20 + linear feet of paper. I still tons more to scan, but it still was a big help with freeing up a little floor space. When you have no space for shelving...the floor is your shelving. <><><><> Daniel D.

  9. They used to just bang that stuff out. They didn't think anything of it. Those are the witness marks on the lab head to show it has been run though the various color dyes. The lab tail had the same. Yes, Bob Pace and Frank Tartaro, in NYC were some of the last of their generation of dye transfer printers. Pace used to print for Irving Penn when he had a lab in NYC. Lots of interesting printing material from back then. This is a Kodachrome print. It was an early 'Type R' material for direct from slides print. It was plastic coated like a Cibachrome print. DDTJRAC I think most of you would have been happy if Kodak still made 16mm Kodachrome for cine' shooting. I've got some old 16mm Kodachrome from the early 1940's that still looks good. Even some from the late 1930's. The earlier Kodachrome had fade issues until they changed the formula. Kodachrome was gorgeous stuff! Kodachrome 35mm slide 1950s - DDTJRAC The dyes Kodak used for dye transfer were also improved over the years. I had tested Kodak dyes for light stability from the 50's 60's 70's and 80's. I had asked the dye transfer forum at Yahoo for scrap samples of work prints from the latter dyes in the 1990s to test, but never got any help. Kodak stopped making dye transfer material in 1994. Dye Transfer print 1950's - 6 months of sun DDTJRAC 1980's vintage dyes Kodak used were pretty good. Almost as good a lower end inkjet print. But not as good as an archival pigment inkjet print. I also tested carbro prints for fade resistance in the sun. They seem very good, but can't find the test samples. When I closed down and moved the storage locker, lots of stuff got lost. I don't want to test the carbro prints again. They are $$ if you can even find some and hate cutting them up. Well, if you can't reproduce Technicolor, use some Technicolor films in your film projects. Work them in some how to keep the process known. Like have a person into film running some Technicolor shorts on a pair of rewinds and show some of it. Cinecolor is another process they used, mainly of cartoons of their day. tons of processes that have evolved. That is what I'd do. Just like textured 3D roofs...most everyone in the know of how Technicolor worked, is in the graveyard...or near to it. A photo forum was trying to recreate the early autochrome process. They couldn't do it. Lots of history has been lost.
  10. Keep at it, you will find some. England has lots of film collectors selling stuff on eBay. I would love to buy some of the 16mm from England, but shipping generally kills it. Same with Canada...crazy shipping. They have interesting titles we don't see here in the USA.
  11. Oh, I know film photography is still being taught...somewhere. But when you read some of the comments on the film forums, they are ecstatic if they get anything to 'come out' as we used to say. Film was no big deal back in the day. It was just what we did to get an image. Never thought a thing about it. Same way we shot manual. Now kids brag like 'shooting manual' is something big. The lenses were not all dummied down and the cameras had actual shutter speeds on the bodies. The big deal was color chemistry and nitrogen burst processing. It has to be pretty exacting. I liked BW better, more forgiving. I only brought up BW film to compare it to Technicolor which was the pinnacle of complexity compared to BW and how things have degreaded. I found some vintage material on carbon / carbro printing. Article on Carbro Process Chambers 1941 D. D. Teoli Jr. A. C. : D. D. Teoli Jr. A.

  12. Well, I.A. took it down. There was a copyright complaint. Bob Ross's estate battles is an interesting read on Wikipedia.
  13. You want to see some dye transfer prints...buy some on eBay. Not that pricey for 16mm shorts, like trailers. 16mm IB Tech for sale | eBay But you have to keep looking. I picked up a nice IB Tech trailer for $12+ shipping. 35mm IB Tech is even cheaper sometimes. 35mm IB Tech for sale | eBay But whether it is 16 or 35, hold out for a nice example to do the IB Tech process justice in your edification process.

  14. Do you have Pace's dye transfer book? Ctein was going to loan me his copy to scan, but I had a falling out with him and that was that. I worked with Pace in the early 1970's in Hollywood at Graphic Process Co. Lots of stuff, including videos of Pace at the Internet Archive. Look, dye transfer had its day...cine and still. It is gone! The kids nowadays can't even develop BW film...hardly. During my short time at the dye transfer forum at Yahoo, there were some Germans that had brought it back...but only for paper prints. I may have some of that info in the Archive. I was only there for a few weeks before they banned me. GD...those technicolor prints had a look all their own...huh! You can tell it is a 3-strip print as soon as you look at it. Even without the lab head. Dye Transfer lab head DDTJRSGFA Here is some DT stuff on YT. (1285) technicolor process - YouTube Here is a nice book on the DT history.

  15. That's wild! I gave up cable about 15 years ago. All I get is one or two channels here on air. I don't do much with TV. Just look at the propaganda news at night and copy the Olympics every few years to speed through...if the channel even comes in!

You never know when someone wants the plug pulled on things, no matter how ancient it is. I spent a month of more scanning old 1960's and 70's 'Playboy VIP Club' magazines from the bunny tail days. Very obscure and nothing that great in them...but Playboy complained and the whole archive was removed from the I.A. Everyone liked his voice. Most people that watched him just liked to see him paint and talk. Very few viewers actually painted. It was a relaxing, meditation sort of thing. Here are some VHS clips from his first show.

  17. That is an odd job to find people for me thinks. Looks like you don't need a degree in film preservation, you need real world, actual knowledge and experience. More and more of them are pushing up daisies Who knows, maybe they got some. It will be interesting to see who takes the job. Tell them to come here to answer our questions. You have been a go-to fixture here answering questions no one has a clue about. Thanks for all your help over the years, Frank. ...on another topic. The L.O.C. is terrible to deal with. They only offer super low-res postage stamp size jpegs of images or super high size, subpar TIFF files that don't deserve their massive size of 200 or 400mb. They are not hi-res, just high file size. And if it is anything good, you got to visit D.C. to get access. Just terrible for the peoples' archive. I know they can do better. I downloaded the famous image by Dorothea Lange of the Migrant Mother. It didn't need a thing, couldn't improve on it with any PP...perfect! OK, it was a special photo, but the L.O.C. does terrible with much of the rest. I model my Archive after the old Getty Open Content Archive. They used to give out high grade 30mb and 40 mb jpeg images for any use. While I don't have a large format copy camera like a Phase One, I give out decent scans and copy images in the 10 to 30 mb range on average. (If asked). Funny thing is; Getty cut back on the generosity and scaled back the image size to maybe 5 - 8 mb. No more super high-res jpegs from the Getty Museum. Well...good luck in your endeavors, Frank! <><><><> Park View Citizens Assn. Store L.O.C. - Glass Plate Post Processing: D.D. Teoli Jr.
  18. Just an update... A little less than 3 months of sun and the Smartbuy BD-R 25GB 1-6X had some errors. Once a disc shows errors, I fail it. But, most of the Smartbuy disc was still fine...as far as still photo scans go. The Ridata BD-R 25GB 6x passed 3 months of sun, and sun tests are ongoing. Beside M-Disc BD-R and Japan / Taiwan Verbatim BD-R, which all lasted a year of sun; the Ridata seems to be a decent choice for cheap BD-R. Time will tell if the Ridata lasts a year of sun. I will update if it fails or after 9 months of sun tests are finished.
  19. That's good you can get for free. I seldom get any freebies. You know, in photography nowadays, the famous photog gives and signs a copy of the photo the lab prints to the owner. I guess it is part of the payment for doing a good job, PP and all. That can add up to big $ for the lab. I'd hate scanning other people's movies as a commercial scanner, if I could not keep a copy for my Archive. I'd poll the Large Format Forum to ask how prevalent that practice is for custom photo labs to get free fine art photos...but they banned me 5 years ago.
  20. 275 feet for $1600+! Anything vintage L.A. / Bevery Hills / CA related can go for big $$. Same with films of vintage Times Square showing the porn industry back in the day. (1970s) A film student died and left a small outtake 16mm reel of vintage Times Square and it went for about $1400. Apparently, L.A. had a Beverycrest sign in the hills, along with Hollywoodland sign, that was later shortened to Hollywood. L.A. used to have tons of storybook roofs, fairytale roofs, textured roofs, 3D roofs, Hansel & Gretel roofs around town. They had lots of names for them. This is not a great example of the textured roof design, but it reminded me of them. These are what the roofs looked like. This one just off of the Miracle Mile in 2012, near where I grew up. They usually were built up with asphalt shingles. This one was out of wood. I guess people will be going to metal roofs once CA can bans all fossil fuels. Only problem is metal roofs use a rubber membrane underneath...and it is made from crude oil as well! Photo: DDTJR Well, some rich person or institution picked it up. It could also have gone to a stock footage company that sell it to you by the second. Point is, you and me will probably never see much, if any of it. I've closed down my film Archive more or less. Not having any luck raising $ to buy a half-ass scanner, so no use adding more fuel to the fire. But if something comes up that is cheap and would make a good addition to the film Archive, I will try to pick it up. IIn the last year I've only bought a handful of films. I bid on this one, but $88.93 didn't go far in bidding. Most 16mm home movies can be bought for $15 - $35...unless the film nuts get a hard-on for it, like this one. This is the most expensive home movie I've ever seen on eBay. <><><><> Publicity photo Wolfman Jack ~ 'American Graffiti' 1973 DDTJRAC Wolfman Jack Archive.
  21. 'Hell or High Water' had some good behind the scenes stuff in the special feature.
  22. I've got a few photography related 16mm films in the Archive. One is a fantastic 16mm salesman's reel on flash photography. (non-Kodak.) This one on paper looks interesting. Hopefully it has some of the paper coating production. It will be a long time before it ever gets scanned. You know the story with trying to get a scanner.
