From Cowboys to Clara Bow: A College Student's Motion Picture Autobiography
From Cowboys to Clara Bow: A College Student's Motion Picture Autobiography
Description:
Fears about the impact of movies on youth led to the Payne Fund research project, which brought together nineteen social scientists and resulted in eleven published reports. One of the most fascinating of the studies was Movies and Conduct (1933), in which more than fifteen hundred high school students wrote "autobiographies" of their experiences going to the movies. In this autobiography, a twenty-year-old college "boy" from an immigrant Jewish family describes his changing tastes in movies.
