4 SILENT FILM The dawn of silent films went hand-in-hand with the rising popularity of vaudeville entertainment in the 1920 s. Vaudeville shows consisted of a wide variety of random acts including music, dance, comedy, feats of acrobatic strength, magic shows, and eventually short movies. As these short films gained popularity among audiences, they became longer and more polished. They developed more complex storylines, characters, settings and costumes. Filmmakers soon realized that without sound to accompany the film, the use of live music provided by an organ could serve as a voice to tell the story. A talented organist would create mood and atmosphere with his music, and the organs were equipped with realistic sound effects to bring certain elements of the story to life. Because there was no spoken dialogue, titles would appear onscreen in the middle of a scene to explain the action or present the dialogue to be read by the audience. Without the use of their voices, actors would have to use expressive body language and facial gestures to tell their story. By the end of the 1920 s, when technical advancements made talking pictures possible, silent films soon disappeared as an art form.
5 MIGHTY WURLITZER ORGAN (PAGE 1) The Paramount s Mighty Wurlitzer organ harkens back to Seattle s role as a hub of vaudeville entertainment during the 1920 s. Built in 1927 at a cost to the theatre of $46,500, the organ was used to accompany live vaudeville performances as well as to provide the soundtrack to silent films. At one time, pipe organs were considered standard equipment in all theatres showing silent movies in the 1920 s. Today, the Paramount Wurlitzer remains the only organ still playing in its original home. (continue next page)
6 MIGHTY WURLITZER ORGAN (PAGE 2) Organs such as the Wurlitzer are built very differently from church or concert-hall organs, because they serve a different purpose. They can produce a much wider variety of sounds - including realistic sound effects such as train whistles, birdcalls, thunder, and horse hoofs in order to accompany the movie. In effect, the organist must help tell the story and bring a silent film to life with the instrument. For more info on the organ, click here. Photo by BOB CERELLI Today, the Wurlitzer organ is regularly featured as the star of the Paramount Theatre s Silent Movie Mondays series. Restoration on the organ is ongoing, and the instrument is currently cared for and maintained by the Puget Sound Theatre Organ Society.

7 TEDDE GIBSON ORGANIST Tedde Gibson is one of a few musicians able to play not only classical and theatre pipe organ, but also jazz and gospel organ on the Hammond and piano. He integrates all of these styles into his playing of the Wurlitzer theatre pipe organ and classical pipe organ which for him are the ultimate vehicles to showcase his talents. A native of Tacoma, Washington, Tedde began playing piano at age four. He later studied pipe organ with the late Dr. Edward Hansen, president of the American Guild of Organists and organ professor at the University Of Puget Sound (UPS). He also studied piano and has studied classical improvisation While attending UW, he studied pipe organ. Tedde has also coached with international theatre organists. He is able to play not only classical and theatre pipe organ, but also jazz and gospel organ on the Hammond and piano. He integrates all of these styles into his playing of the Wurlitzer theatre pipe organ and classical pipe organ which for him are the ultimate vehicles to showcase his talents.
8 PAUL HANSEN SOUND EFFECTS Paul has been active as one of the top percussionists in Seattle's music and theater circles for thirty years, having performed with many popular talents such as Johnny Mathis, Quincy Jones, Idina Menzel, and Michael Feinstein to name just a very few. As a concert musician he performs regularly with the Seattle Symphony Orchestra, the Pacific Northwest Ballet and Auburn Symphony. In Musical Theater he has been a mainstay in Seattle's top pit orchestras at the Paramount and Fifth Avenue Theaters with over 120 musicals to his credit, and is a busy recording musician in jingles, and film soundtracks. He has also composed film and stage scores for his wife, filmmaker and director Janice Findley.
9 THE PARAMOUNT THEATRE During the Roaring Twenties, particularly before the first talkies were invented in 1927, vaudeville and silent movies were the dominant form of national and local entertainment. Seattle alone had more than 50 movie palaces, the finest grouped together on 2nd Avenue. On March 1, 1928, Seattle Theatre opened. Since 2002, the not-for-profit organization, Seattle Theatre Group, has operated The Paramount Theatre and continues to ensure the theater is kept alive and vibrant.

11 ABOUT ALICE SHORTS Disney's Alice Comedies were a series of short films released during the 1920s. They featured Alice and Julius (a cat) in a cartoon world. These shorts were produced by Walt Disney through Laugh-O-Gram studios, produced in Kansas City. Unfortunately in 1923, the company filed for bankruptcy. Fifty-six Alice Comedies were produced between 1923 and By the time Alice the Peacemaker was in production in 1924, Disney had built a studio staff that included animators and camera crew. Over the years 4 different young actresses - Virginia Davis, Dawn O'Day, Margie Gay, and Lois Hardwick - portrayed Alice. Virginia Davis, from Kansas City, first began working for Walt when she was just 6-years-old. She appeared in the first 13 titles of the Alice Comedies. She became a Disney Legend in Alice Comedies proved to be a major stepping stone in Walt s career.
12 WALT DISNEY Walter Elias "Walt" Disney was born on December 5, 1901, in Hermosa, Illinois. He and his brother Roy cofounded Walt Disney Productions, which became one of the best-known motion-picture production companies in the world. Disney was an innovative animator and created the cartoon character Mickey Mouse. He won 22 Academy Awards during his lifetime, and was the founder of theme parks Disneyland and Walt Disney World. Disney was in High School when he started attending the Chicago Art Institute. When Disney was 16, he dropped out of school to join the Army but was rejected for being underage. Instead, he joined the Red Cross and was sent to France for a year to drive an ambulance. When Disney returned from France in 1919, he moved back to Kansas City to pursue a career as a newspaper artist. His brother Roy got him a job at the Pesmen-Rubin Art Studio, where he met cartoonist Ubbe Eert Iwerks, better known as Ub Iwerks. During this time, Walt started exploring with his own animation business. While working in an ad he met and recruited Fred Harman, as his first employee.
13 WALT DISNEY S LIFE In 1923, however, the studio had become burdened with debt, and Disney was forced to declare bankruptcy. Disney and his brother Roy soon pooled their money and moved to Hollywood. Iwerks also relocated to California, and there the three began the Disney Brothers' Studio. During this time, they invented Oswald the Lucky rabbit which unfortunately the rights were stolen by two past acquaintances. It was around that time, he met an ink and pen artist, called Lilian Bounds, who he fell in love with and married. Together, they creatively bounced ideas and developed a character called Mickey Mouse.
14 ALICE THE PEACEMAKER Walt Disney Walt Disney is known for using locations and events in his life as inspirations for films. Perhaps, Alice the Peacemaker is not a popular film in Walt s career but this film gives us a glimpse into his life. During his youth, he worked as a newsboy, selling papers and snacks to passengers that came through in train through Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway train. Walt is the boy in the center of this photo, on the right. The photo was taken from a meeting of newsboys. About Alice the Peacemaker Two newsboys begin fighting about their newspaper sale. Alice, comes in to help ease the situation. Alice uses story telling to share why they should be friendly, instead of competing against each other.
15 ALICE S EGG PLANT Given the current state of the world in the 1920 s Walt Disney was very clear about IWW. The Industrial Workers of the World. A world memberrun union. While some may argue that he was supportive of employees. Others argue that he was against fair wages. What do you think after viewing this film? About Alice s Egg Plant Alice and her companion cat, Julius operate an egg plant. The hen s don t want to work but Julius becomes stricter on them. An agitator hen, arrives from Moscow, Russia, who encourage all the other hens to strike for shorter hours and smaller eggs. Just then, Lice and Julius get a significant large egg order which they fulfill.
16 STEAMBOAT WILLIE Mickey Mouse Oswald the Rabbit Originally, Walt had worked on Oswald the Rabbit but the rights to Oswald the Rabbit were claimed by two people Disney had worked with. For many, this would have been a devastating time but Walt was able to move beyond that and introduced Walt Disney s new cartoon character- Mickey Mouse. The first short featuring Mickey Mouse was Plane Crazy and The Gallopin Goucho. The Third, sound equipped short was called Steamboat Willie, with Walt as the voice of Mickey. This cartoon was a total success and put place Walt as a innovator. Steamboat Willie was the first cartoon to be show to public. Walt Disney wanted to implement the cartoons with sound. In fact, Steamboat Willie was the first cartoon of all time to make use of sound and it was specifically created to put that new technology to its full potential.

18 POST QUESTIONS HERE ARE SOME QUESTIONS TO ASK YOUR STUDENTS AFTER THE FILMS! Walt Disney and the Disney franchise focus on making films for kids, there is always a message behind each of them. For all three films, can you identify some themes? Are there any connecting themes between all three movies?! Alice s Egg Plant is the story of a young girl and her cat assistant working at an Egg Plant, trying to fulfill an egg order. What are some differences and similarities from 1920 work life to today?! In Alice the Peacemaker we see newsboys who are selling newspapers in the streets. In 1992 a movie called NEWSIES was released. In 2012 NEWSIES the Musical opened on Broadway, why did Walt Disney and the Disney company focus so much on Newsboys? What makes the Newsboys so important?! Steamboat Willie was not the first film introducing Mickey Mouse, the first two films prior to Steamboat Willie, were Plane Crazy and The Gallopin Gaucho. However, both of those films were not successful. What is it about Steamboat Willie, that appealed to audience members? Why was this movie so popular? Bonus Questions! Do you know who Oswald the Rabbit is? If so, how is he connected to Walt Disney and Mickey Mouse?
