Great Stars and Great Characters in Great Moments from Great Movies! The Roaring Twenties (1939) is action director Raoul Walsh's first gangster film (and first film for Warner Bros.). [Walsh replaced director Anatole Litvak at the last minute.] This newsreel-like, semi-documentary, authentic-looking film, with both hard-hitting gangster genre action and romantic sentiment, shares a lot of similarities and is reminiscent of the greatest gangster films of the 30s, including Little Caesar (1930) Scarface: The Shame of the Nation (1932) , and Public Enemy (1931) . All of these films portray bootlegging, numerous murders, gangster life, and the death of the hero at the conclusion. At the end of the thirties, Walsh's 'social history' film eulogizes and recreates the entire Jazz Age decade, Prohibition and its repeal (including the process of manufacturing bathtub gin), and the Depression era (through the mid 1930s) with an expansive, eulogistic perspective within an historical framework. However, the protagonist is portrayed as a reluctant victim of social and environmental conditions during the time period - as a returning WWI doughboy to a 1918 America of unemployment, he is lured to a corruptible life as a small-time hood after being denied his old job and after taking advantage of poorly-conceived government laws. Then, as a struggling taxi-cab driver after a change of fortune during the Depression, he becomes a poverty-stricken, alcoholic "forgotten man" in the 30s.

Extractions: On Saturday, September 11, 1926, copies of the first issue of the Electric Refrigeration News were placed at a breakfast table in Waldenwoods, MI. Scheduled to meet there that morning were 100 representatives from leading refrigeration manufacturers, who had gathered to discuss the state of their rapidly expanding industry. An industry full of promise now had its own specialized trade publication. The 1920s heralded an explosion in refrigeration and air conditioning that would continue throughout the twentieth century and beyond. The roots of cooling technology stretch back beyond the 20th century, even to antiquity. Yet historians point to the developments of the latter half of the nineteenth century as the beginning of mechanical refrigeration. It is the efforts of these early refrigeration pioneers that made the burgeoning growth of refrigeration and air conditioning in the early twentieth century possible. American physician Dr. John Gorrie is credited by many as the first to design, construct, and operate a refrigeration system for comfort cooling. Gorrie, in search of cool air to ease the suffering of malaria patients in Apalachicola, FL, had experimented as early as 1842 with blowing air over buckets of ice brought in from northern cities to cool the sickrooms of patients.

Extractions: A Black Perspective of American History By Leon Dixon, Gerald Hynes, and Carolyn Gaines Nelson This endeavor is an attempt to show how the events and flow of American history affected and were effected by Black people. It is written from a Black perspective. It is hoped that the reader will discern trends and patterns, such as, how Black folks were co-opted to deal with certain events and issues and were ruthlessly discarded when they were no longer beneficial (e.g. reconstruction, populist movement, and all of the major wars). It should also be noted how the Black population enlarged in certain areas of the country as laborers were needed (e.g. the ante-bellum south, the northern ghettos during the world wars). In addition to this, special attention should be paid to the cause and effects that the economy and economics of the times had on Black folks. It is hoped that this undertaking can provide for teachers and parents basic reference material for helping to include the causes, effects, and contributions of Black folk throughout American history. We have not tried to profile any persons, but rather dealt with trends and social phenomena.
