Talk:E. M. Newman Travelogues

Untitled

This is an article “in progress”. Feel free to make any corrections (including any spelling error not done on purpose) and add any major credit names or movie titles overlooked. Release dates of films listed are a mix of what is available at the time and are also subject to correction.

The purpose here is to provide an outline of the Warner Brothers theatrical short films, series by series. Individual titles can be examined in detail with their own articles or on other sites like IMDb.com [1]. Right now, roughly 60% of Warner’s live-action shorts are accounted for over there at least by titles and very basic credits. This is a pretty good percentage considering that less than 20% of Paramount and 20th Century-Fox’s live-action shorts are acknowledged to even exist. In fact, many movie buffs and writers often either forget or simply don’t know that all of the major studios continued releasing ten to twenty minute “short subjects” through the 1960s. Universal officially stopped in 1972, while United Artists kept the Pink Panther going for a few more years.

Fortunately, the animated cartoons enjoyed a second life thanks to television and, at least by the mid-seventies, began to enjoy some of the same critical attention reserved for features of importance. However, the live-action short not produced by Hal Roach, Mack Sennett or featuring Columbia’s Three Stooges is the “lost frontier” of movie research, much like the newsreel.

I just transcribed an article from the New York Times dated 29 November 1920 that has this to say:

E. M. Newman's second Traveltalk, "Damascus and Syria," was delivered at Carnegie Hall last night.

I'm not sure how to incorporate this into the article, but provides a clue to the origins of the travelogues dating from 1920 at the latest.

Thanks so much for that tidbit.

I went ahead and added a section on his early career, limited that it is... for now. I was prompted to research him a bit more online. Feel free to add more and make corrections. If we get a considerable amount of detail on his early life, the heading can easily be changed to "E.M. Newman" and the "Travelogues" can be a sub-article. Jlewis68 15:27, 3 August 2014 (UTC)
