This Day in History - 16 May 2013
THIS DAY IN HISTORY: MAY 16, 1929
The Academy Awards
are arguably the most hyped annual event in the world. But it wasn't always
thus. The first Academy Awards ceremony was a small, private affair that wasn't
even broadcast on radio — and didn't rate a mention in The Vancouver Sun.
About 270 people
attended the ceremony in the Blossom Room of the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel on
May 16, 1929. Members of the Academy
of Motion Picture Arts
The Outstanding
Picture award went to Wings. Set during the First World War, the movie featured
some thrilling aerial stunts, which earned it a second Oscar for Engineering
Effects. Wings remains the only silent movie to win Best/Outstanding Picture.(Obviously the
writer used old information as The Artist won best picture in 2012)
The Oscar statuette
was designed by MGM's art director, Cedric Gibbons, and executed by sculptor
George Stanley.
Bette Davis claimed
she named the statue "Oscar" after her then-husband, but an alternate
theory is that Hollywood columnist Sidney
Skolsky called it "Oscar" after hearing a secretary at the Academy
say the statue looked like her uncle Oscar.
Two Special Awards
were handed out, one to Warner Brothers for its breakthrough talking picture
The Jazz Singer, and one to Charlie Chaplin for his film Circus.
Chaplin wouldn't
receive another Oscar until 1971, when he was honoured for his lifetime
achievements.
The biggest
difference between the first Academy Awards and today's version, is the lack of
suspense.
In 1929, the
winners were announced three months before the ceremony.
John Mackie, Vancouver Sun
Douglas Fairbanks, shown as a pirate
with an unidentified damsel, was the first host of the Academy Awards.

Kinemacolor Theatre's stained glass sign turned up in a
|
Many people
think the first colour movie was Gone With The Wind in
1939. Others believe it was the Wizard of Oz, which came out the same year. In
fact, they were showing colour movies on Granville Street
Kinemacolor
was a primitive colour film process that was all the rage in Europe
just before the First World War. It was invented by English cinematographer George
Albert Smith, who ran film through a projector at 32 frames per second, twice
the normal speed, and then filtered it through red- and green-coloured lenses
to produce "the world's wonders in nature's colours"
Smith
patented his invention in 1906, and the first Kinemacolor film, A Visit to the Seaside , was unveiled to the masses in London
and New York Canada
Movies were
quite short in 1913, hence the Kinemacolor theatre bill
100 years ago featured several films. Some featured King George and members of
the Royal Family reviewing troops, cadets and boy scouts in England Panama Canal .
That
Skating Carnival was billed as "an English comedy of the burlesque
type." Fifty Miles From Tombstone was touted as a "gripping western
story combining strong dramatic action, pathos, and an irresistible vein of
delightful comedy: "There was even a "Kinemacomedy concert"
called Music By Proxy, which is some what perplexing, given that movies were
silent at the time. But the Kinemacolor theatre had its own nine-piece
orchestra.
Unfortunately,
the process never really caught on. In 1914, the Kinemacolor theatre closed and
the Colonial theatre took its place.
The
Colonial lasted until 1972, when it was torn down to
make way for the Pacific Centre Mall/ Block 42 development downtown.
Before the
Colonial was demolished, somebody salvaged a giant stained-glass sign from the
Kinemacolor theatre that had managed to survive the decades. It wound up in a
Keg and eventually at Architectural Antiques on Main Street
