SUMMARY:Alice in the Rosenbach Collection (Spring 2010 Meeting)
DESCRIPTION:The spring 2010 meeting of the LCSNA was held at the Rosenbach Museum & Library in Philadelphia\, PA on Saturday\, April 24th\, 2010. Canadian member Andy Malcolm presented a funny and illuminating talk and hands-on demonstration about his work as foley (sound effects) artist for Tim Burton’s new Alice in Wonderland film\, ably aided by ProTools expert Jenna Dalla Riva and sound engineer Jack Heeren. The enormously talented Nancy Wiley shared an entertaining history of her career as a doll artist (with a great Demi Moore story!) and spoke about her beautiful new doll-themed edition of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. She kindly signed copies of her book and displayed some of her Carrollian dolls afterward. Noted Harvard scholar Maria Tatar gave a fascinating talk about the importance of nonsense\, and our instinctive need to find some kind of sense in it. To close the meeting\, Rosenbach Librarian Elizabeth Fuller treated attendees to an up-close look at a wealth of rare Carrolliana\, including an 1865 Alice\, correspondence\, and photographs\, all selected especially for us. In addition\, Please Touch Museum held its Storybook Weekend\, perfect for a Friday or Sunday visit\, and Stacey Swigart kindly arranged for free admission for LCSNA members. From beginning to end\, it was a brillig meeting\, and those in attendance voted it one of the LCSNA’s best. After the meeting\, attendees reconvened at The Black Sheep Pub (taking over the entire first floor!) for a delicious dinner and delightful conversation. Our thanks again to everyone at the Rosenbach for being such gracious hosts.

SUMMARY:Alice in Fort Lee\, New Jersey (Fall 2009 Meeting)
DESCRIPTION:David Schaefer\, a founding member and past president of the LCSNA\, began the meeting by giving a succinct overview of Alice in films\, starting with the 1903 Cecil Hepworth production at Walton on the Thames in England\, through the 1910 Edison company film and up to the Alice films of the 1930s\, including the first “talkie” version\, made in Fort Lee. Our first speaker\, film historian Prof. Richard Koszarski of Rutgers University\, did a remarkable job of sketching for us the interrelated social\, cultural\, economic\, and artistic history which had made Fort Lee\, New Jersey\, the first American movie capital. Alan Tannenbaum\, another past president of our society\, gave an entertaining hands-on talk about Alice film strip toys. Dr. Greg Bowers\, Assistant Professor of Theory and Composition in the Music Department of William and Mary College\, and composer of the musical “Lewis Carroll and Alice\,” spoke about “Timid and Tremulous Sounds: What Film Scores Should Like to Explain about Alice’s Adventures.” This brilliant talk greatly helped this writer to just begin to see what he had been hearing\, consciously or not\, and hear what he had been seeing. We then screened the extremely rare 1930 Producer “Bud” Pollard Alice\, the first talkie\, shot at the Metropolitan (formerly Peerless) Studio\, in Fort Lee. Young Ruth Gilbert (later a TV regular on Milton Berle’s show) played Alice; members of her family were in the audience for this special screening. Her slight New Jersey accent would have perhaps horrified audiences accustomed to Oxbridge English but Ruth gave a perky performance as Alice. Some liberties were taken with the book. For example\, the film added a peculiar love relationship between the Duchess and the White Rabbit! The story concludes with Alice saying\, again in her American patois “Come on all of you\, who’s afraid of a paltry deck of cards?” Delightful fun.

SUMMARY:Alice\, Mooney and Spooney in Santa Fe (Spring 2009 Meeting)
DESCRIPTION:Our Santa Fe\, New Mexico\, meeting began with a brief talk by Theaterwork’s artistic director\, David Olson\, on their first performance of Lewis Carroll’s juvenile operetta La Guida di Bragia since the young Charles Lutwidge Dodgson staged it for his family. Together with LCSNA’s multi-talented Jonathan Dixon\, Olson talked about the marionette play we would see in the evening: how children’s dolls\, rescued from the local Goodwill store\, were turned into doll puppets representing the characters of Mooney\, Spooney\, Sophonisba\, and her husband Orlando; how they designed a stage that was a miniature theater\, about six feet tall with the stage window itself about three feet high and four feet wide\, with a recreation\, highly carrollized\, of a sitting room on the floor in front of it with miniature furniture and even a tiny tool set perhaps much like the one Lewis Carroll had made as a boy. After a hearty southwestern style lunch\, we were treated to a live performance of Gerald Fried’s chamber piece “The Chess Game” for narrator\, flute/piccolo\, oboe (played by the composer himself)\, violin\, cello\, and piano. Fried\, a composer of four symphonies and three operas\, is perhaps best known for his works for film and television\, including the score for Stanley Kubrick’s “Paths of Glory” and many “Star Trek” episodes \, including the Alice-themed “Shore Leave.” The Chess Game was a brilliant musical piece with narration of three scenes from Through the Looking-Glass: the running in-place scene\, how the flowers protect themselves\, and the two bumbling knights. It reminded one of us of the early 1950s Omnibus performance of Peter and the Wolf. Jonathan Dixon read the text passages introducing and separating the music\, which itself was simply wonderful – its perky leitmotifs and sequences capturing in another kind of language the quirkiness and beauty of Carrroll’s text. Next\, Jonathan Dixon\, Andrew Ogus\, and Mark Burstein treated us to an account of how the LCSNA produced a hardback book of La Guida di Bragia with illustrations by Dixon. It all started with a conversation Jonathan Dixon had with Prof. Morton N. Cohen in 1992. Cohen suggested that the society publish Carroll’s La Guida di Bragia\, which had only been published once before\, in the Christmas 1931 number of the British magazine The Queen. The original manuscript had been sold at Sotheby’s from a lot identified as “the property of Major C.H.W. Dodgson” on Feb. 14\, 1929 and much later was bought by the American pencil magnate\, Alfred Berol\, who gave it to the Fales Library of New York University with the rest of his magnificent Carroll collection. Former LCSNA president Peter Heath wrote an introduction to the text which with a transcription of the play and illustrations by Jonathan Dixon was published in the Knight Letter\, no. 61\, Fall 1999. Some years later\, Marvin Taylor at the Fales Library was able to supply us with digital copies of the pages of Carroll’s original text\, which we included in our 2007 hardback edition. To conclude the meeting\, LCSNA members and local attendees were treated to a private (and hilarious) performance of La Guida di Bragia. A remarkable achievement\, capping off a remarkable meeting.
