May 1998
Films of Rouben Mamoulian to be Shown in Evening Class
As a special tribute to the centenary of the birth of the most famous Hollywood film director of
Armenian origin, Dr. Dickran
Kouymjian, Berberian Professor of
Armenian Studies and Director of
the Kalfayan Center, will present
nearly all of Rouben Mamoulian's
films in a fifteen week course at
Fresno State. The class, Armenian
Studies 120T, will meet Wednesdays from 6:10-9:00 PM. Non-
CSUF students and seniors can register through the extension division
of the 60 plus program. A limited
number of special scholarships will
be available directly through the
Armenian Studies Program.
During this entire period from
the late 1920s to the late 1950s one
name dominated the imagination
of Armenians everywhere in the
world who were even slightly interested in cinema: Rouben
Mamoulian (1898-1991).
In 1929 he was invited by
Paramount to visit their Astoria studios in New York for the shooting
of a film. In that same year he made
his first film, Applause, still one of
the great classics of early talking
films. His direction of Helen Morgan and the characteristic
Mamoulian instinct for movement
and rhythm made it clear to everyone that Mamoulian was not only
at home with the transition from
the theater to celluloid, but mat he
was a great creator and innovator.
During \he next 14 years, he
directed, and at times also produced,
14 films, most of which are among
the eternal classics of Hollywood.
His ingenuity and daring, his intelligence and cosmopolitan sophistication were to bring a dimension to
American cinema which it needed
badly. His last two films were
made after the second World War,
Summer Holiday (1947) and Silk

Stockings (1957). In films as di-
verse as Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
(1931), Queen Christina (1933),
The Mark ofZorro (1940), Becky
Sharp (1935), and Song of Songs
(1933), he directed the greatest actors of the time: Fredric March,
Greta Garbo, Helen Morgan,
Miriam Hopkins, Gary Cooper,
Marlene Dietrich, Maurice Chevalier, Randolph Scott, Irene Dunne,
Anthony Quinn, John Carradine,
Henry Fonda, Fred Astaire, Mickey
Rooney, Walter Huston, James
Cagney, Barbara Stanwyck and
many, many more.
Simultaneously, Mamoulian
was working on the Broadway
stage mounting some ofthe greatest American musicals: Porgy
and Bess (1935), Oklahoma!
(1943), Carousel (1945). His
work in American cinema and
theater has long been regarded as
"classical" and already a score of
Rouben Mamoulian Festivals
have been held around the world,
including two at the
Cinematheque francaise.
Many consider Mamoulian's
film Becky Sharp (1935) to be the
first to use the newly invented tri
color Technicolor in adramatic fashion.
Becky Sharp is based on one of
the classics of English literature,
Vanity Fair by William Thackeray.
It is one of those rare movies which
is successfully able to portray the
. essence of a great novel. In Miriam
Hopkins, Mamoulian displayed the
genius he always seem to have when
it came to showing off great actresses at their best on the screen.
Beside the innovative use of color,
the film has the usual Mamoulian
trademark of rhythm and elegance.
