Book Synopsis Beyond Ballyhoo by : Mark Thomas McGee
Download or read book Beyond Ballyhoo written by Mark Thomas McGee and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2001-03-15 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William Castle, for instance, was a master promoter. In one scheme involving The Tingler, Vincent Price warns in the movie that "the only way to stop the monster is to scream. That's the signal to the projectionist to throw the switch. Under ten or twelve seats were some electric motors, war surplus things that Castle got a bargain on. The motors vibrated the seat, in the hope of scaring a scream out of someone. Just in case it didn't Castle planted someone in the audience to get the screams rolling." This book is about flamboyant promotion, the con artist side of the movie world--everything the ballyhoo boys did to separate the customer from the price of a movie ticket--Emergo, HypnoVista, 3-D, Wide Screen, Cinemagic, Duo-Vision, Dynamation, Smell-O-Vision, plenty more. Supporting the text are 107 photos and illustrations, some never-before-published, and a filmography.

Download or read book Ballyhoo! written by Jon Langmead and published by University of Missouri Press. This book was released on 2024-01-29 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ballyhoo! The Roughhousers, Con Artists, and Wildmen Who Invented Professional Wrestling is a history of professional wrestling’s formative period in the U.S., from roughly 1874 to 1941, and the contested interplay of wrestlers and promoters who built the “sport” as we know it. During this period, the major conventions that would define wrestling to the present day were perfected and codified, as wrestling morphed from a rough sport practiced on farms and at town gatherings to melodramatic mass entertainment that reliably drew large crowds in cities across the nation. The narrative uses the life and career of Jack Curley—a boxing promoter whose fortune took a turn for the better when he began promoting wrestling matches—as a compass as it charts the development of wrestling. By the late 1910s, Curley’s shows were selling out Madison Square Garden monthly. Ballyhoo chronicles his competition with the other promoters, as well as the lives of colorful athletes like “Strangler” Ed Lewis, Frank Gotch, the “Masked Marvel,” Jim Londos, “Gorgeous George” Wagner, “Farmer” Martin Burns, and “Dynamite” Gus Sonnenberg.

Book Synopsis Heroes & Ballyhoo by : Michael K. Bohn
Download or read book Heroes & Ballyhoo written by Michael K. Bohn and published by Potomac Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2009-11-30 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A handful of star athletes, along with their promoters and journalists, created America's sports entertainment industry during the 1920s, the Golden Age of American sports. The period had an extraordinary impact, profoundly changing individual sports, establishing the secular religion of sports and sports heroes, and helping bond disparate social and regional sectors of the country. It's when sports became a cornerstone of modern American life. Heroes and Ballyhoo profiles the ten most prominent Golden Age heroes and describes their effect on sports and society. Babe Ruth saved baseball after the Black Sox Scandal. Boxer Jack Dempsey made the “sweet science” a respectable sport. Red Grange single-handedly set professional football on a path to eventual success. Knute Rockne helped transform college football from a game to a colossal enterprise. Bobby Jones changed golf into a spectator sport, and Walter Hagen sparked the first national interest in professional golf. Bill Tilden put tennis on the front of the sports section. Tennis player Helen Wills Moody joined swimmer Gertrude Ederle in empowering women athletes. Johnny Weissmuller astonished international swimming before becoming Tarzan. The book also explores the ballyhoo artists—sportswriters, promoters, and press agents—who hyped the stars to a receptive public. Simultaneously, the spectators established themselves as the focus of popular sports. The personalities and events of the 1920s thus created today's entertainment conglomerate of heroes, promoters and advertisers, fans, arenas—and money. Sports as a profit center started with the Golden Age's heroes and PR artists, and the public's obsessive interest in sports helped shape America's emerging mass society. Heroes and Ballyhoo tells the story of what was both a symptom and a cause of modern America.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My motto in life is I am not beautiful like you, I am beautiful like me. If I have to think back to my school days, I always think of myself as the queen of the bitches! I was a snob deluxe and looked down on other people. But I always say, but God! While I never knew Him during my early years, He NEVER left me. This is my story, how I saw things through my brokenness. The purpose of this book is for people to see that our Father can use any ordinary person and that although your life feels normal, it is full of His Goodness and Grace. My story is how He prepared me for my purpose for which He created me. Each of us has a unique purpose so each of us has a unique story. As you read my life story look at your own life and see the Goodness and Love of our Father in it. You will also be able to see why He created you and how He is preparing you for your purpose. For this time, this place, these people. His Hand is in everything, before He created everything He had me in mind for my unique purpose, as well as for you - think about that! In my opinion, people can sometimes be so super-spiritual that they forget to live! I know because I was also there. Your life is the platform that the Lord uses to prepare you for your purpose, it is part of your destiny. Life is like a patchwork blanket. Some of the pieces are colorful, other paper-thin and torn, some dull and others beautiful with embroidery. Wonderfully made and beautiful. At first I just wanted to tell you the ugly, but as I've been thinking about my life lately, I've realized that it would be unfair to do so, so I decided to tell the good, the bad, and the ugly. And the funny! The Lord also gave us a sense of humor, and I Luv it !!! There are many good times. I think the Lord sometimes giggles when He thinks of my past ... Hope that you'll enjoy my journey, enjoy.

Book Synopsis BALLYHOO BUCKAROO & SPUDS by : Quinion M
Download or read book BALLYHOO BUCKAROO & SPUDS written by Quinion M and published by Smithsonian Books (DC). This book was released on 2004-10-17 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The real story of a word or phrase’s origin and evolution is often much stranger—and much more humorous—than the commonly accepted one; the many entries will certainly leave you “happy as a clam.” Happy as a clam? Really, what’s so happy about being a clam? The saying makes much more sense when it’s paired with its missing second half: “at high water.” Now a clam at high water is a safe clam, and thus a happy clam. From the bawdy to the sublime, Quinion’s explanations and delightful asides truly prove that the “proof is in the pudding.”
