James Craig (actor)

James Craig (born James Henry Meador, died June 27, 1985) was an American actor. He is best known for appearances in films like Kitty Foyle (1940) and The Devil and Daniel Webster (1941), and his stint as a leading man at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer in the 1940s where he appeared in films like The Human Comedy (1943).

Biography
He was born in Nashville, Tennessee and studied at the Rice Institute (now Rice University), planning a career in medicine. After graduation he worked for a time as a professional football player, and a debt collector. A visit to Hollywood made him decide to become an actor. He returned home and worked in theatre for a year, then went back to Hollywood. He did a screen test for Paramount, which offered him a contract.

Paramount
He began appearing in films at Paramount, originally using the name James Mead. He appeared mostly in B-movies and serials. His early credits included Sophie Lang Goes West (1937), This Way Please (1937), Thunder Trail (1937), Born to the West (1937), The Buccaneer (1938), The Big Broadcast of 1938 (1938), and Swing, Teacher, Swing (1938). He was in Pride of the West (1938).

Craig left Hollywood and went to New York. He appeared on Broadway in Missouri Legend (1938), which re-ignited Hollywood's interest in him.

Columbia
Craig tested for the role of Rhett Butler in Gone with the Wind and had the lead in North of Shanghai (1939) for Columbia.

He was in The Lone Wolf's Daughter (1939) and the serial Flying G-Men (1939). He was in Blondie Meets the Boss (1939), Romance of the Redwoods (1939), Blind Alley (1939), Outside These Walls (1939), and Missing Daughters (1939). He was in a Buster Keaton short, Pest from the West (1939), then Good Girls Go to Paris (1939) and the serial Overland with Kit Carson (1939). He did a short with Andy Clyde, Trouble Finds Andy Clyde (1939), then Behind Prison Gates (1939), The Man They Could Not Hang (1939), and Konga (1939).

Craig was in some Charley Chase shorts, Skinny the Moocher (1939) and Static in the Attic (1939). After A Woman Is the Judge (1939) he appeared in the Three Stooges film Oily to Bed, Oily to Rise. Craig followed this with Taming of the West (1939), Scandal Sheet (1939), Forestalled (1939), and Cafe Hostess (1940).

Universal
Craig signed with Universal in November 1939. The studio announced it wanted to build him into a leading man. He had a support role in Black Friday (1940), then he did The House Across the Bay (1940) for Walter Wanger.

He returned to Universal for Zanzibar (1940), where he had the male lead. He was down the cast list for Secret Enemy (1940), and the serial Winners of the West (1940) but had a lead part in South to Karanga (1940). Craig had smaller parts in I'm Nobody's Sweetheart Now (1940), Seven Sinners (1940), and Lucky Ralston (1940).

RKO
Craig's big break happened when RKO bought out his contract with Universal to play one of Ginger Rogers' suitors in Kitty Foyle (1940). This was a big hit.

RKO gave him the romantic lead in Unexpected Uncle (1941), and he played a New Hampshire farmer who sells his soul in All That Money Can Buy, also titled The Devil and Daniel Webster (1941), with Walter Huston and Edward Arnold.

He appeared with Lucille Ball in an RKO Western, Valley of the Sun (1942). Edward Small cast him in Friendly Enemies (1942), supporting Charles Ruggles and Charles Winninger.

MGM
Louis B. Mayer, head of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, thought Craig resembled the studio's most popular male star Clark Gable. Mayer signed Craig to a seven-year contract to potentially fill in for Gable when he enlisted in the United States Army Air Forces.

MGM started off Craig as the lead in some B Westerns, The Omaha Trail (1942) and Northwest Rangers (1942). The latter was a remake of Manhattan Melodrama with Craig playing the role played by Gable in the original. Both films lost money.

Craig went back to RKO for Seven Miles from Alcatraz (1942) then did a naval propaganda short, Freedom Comes High.

MGM launched Craig as a star in The Human Comedy (1943), which was a massive success. He was Ann Sothern's love interest in Swing Shift Maisie (1943) and supported Margaret O'Brien in Lost Angel (1943).

In 1944, Craig co-starred with William Powell and Hedy Lamarr in The Heavenly Body. That year exhibitors voted him the second most likely to be a "star of tomorrow".

Craig supported Ronald Colman in Kismet (1944), and Lana Turner in Marriage Is a Private Affair (1944); the latter was a big hit. Craig was given the star role in Gentle Annie (1945) and Dangerous Partners (1945); he was reunited with O'Brien in Our Vines Have Tender Grapes (1945).

Craig starred in She Went to the Races (1945), and two with Butch Jenkins, Boys' Ranch (1946) and Little Mister Jim (1947), which both lost money. Craig replaced Van Johnson in the final film of the Dr. Kildare series. The film, Dark Delusion (1947), lost money.

Craig was loaned to Eagle Lion to appear in The Man from Texas (1948). Eagle Lion borrowed him again for Northwest Stampede (1948) then he went back to MGM to play the villain in Side Street (1949). It flopped as did A Lady Without Passport (1950), where Craig supported Lamarr and John Hodiak, and The Strip (1951) with Mickey Rooney.

Craig had the lead in a Western, Drums in the Deep South (1951), for the King Brothers and RKO. He supported Yvonne De Carlo in Hurricane Smith (1952). He wrote the script for the Western Scorching Fury (1952). The Los Angeles Times noted that Craig's MGM contract "seems to go on and on... notwithstanding he only seems to appear in the company's films at well-spaced intervals."

Walter Wanger gave him the lead in Fort Vengeance (1953). He supported in Code Two (1953) for MGM. In 1953 his $2,500 a week contract with MGM ended.

Later career
Craig began appearing on TV in "The Westerner" for Chevron Theatre and Studio 57 and "Wedding March" for Ford Television Theatre. He did "Dead Reckoning" for Science Fiction Theatre (1955).

Craig returned to features with Last of the Desperados (1955), where he had the lead, and While the City Sleeps (1956), which he had a support role. He could be seen in starring roles in B films like The Women of Pitcairn Island (1956), Shoot-Out at Medicine Bend (1957) with Randolph Scott, The Persuader (1957), The Cyclops (1957) for Bert I. Gordon, Naked in the Sun (1957), Ghost Diver (1957), Man or Gun (1958) and Four Fast Guns (1960).

He guest starred on shows like The Millionaire (1956), Broken Arrow (1957), Have Gun – Will Travel as Ralph Coe in S1 E26 "Birds of a Feather" (1958), Colgate Theatre (1958), Death Valley Days (1960), and Tales of Wells Fargo (1962).

B films
Craig went to Japan for The Revenge of Doctor X (1967), also known as Venus Flytrap. He had support roles in Hostile Guns (1967), Fort Utah (1967) and Arizona Bushwhackers (1968) and guest starred in Daniel Boone, Custer, and The Virginian

Craig could also be seen in The Devil's Brigade (1968), If He Hollers, Let Him Go! (1968), Bigfoot (1970), and The Tormentors (1971).

Both his last film and television performance came in 1972: he played Dr. Hainer in the sci-fi movie Doomsday Machine and John Rodman on The ABC Afternoon Playbreak episode "This Child Is Mine".

Personal life
Craig was married to Mary June Ray (from 1939 to 1954), Jil Jarmyn (married 1959, divorced 1963) ) Jane Valentine 1963-1964, and Sumie Jassi; each union ended in divorce.

Craig's first wife claimed he hit her. In 1963, a judge issued an arrest warrant to Craig for refusing to attend a divorce hearing involving his second wife Jane. He turned himself in and successfully argued for his release. Jane alleged he had broken into their home, beaten her and cut up her clothes; she also alleged he had a problem with drinking. In 1967 Jane killed her eleven year old son by a previous marriage, then committed suicide.

Craig had two sons, Robert and James Jr., and a daughter; one of the sons predeceased him.

During his 1954 divorce hearing, Craig revealed he made money from a variety of sources in addition to acting, including race horses, a cafe, a chicken ranch, and carpentry.

After retiring from acting in 1972, Craig became a real estate agent.

Death
Craig died of lung cancer at Western Medical Center in Tustin, California, in 1985. He was 74.

The Voyage (opera)

The Voyage is an opera in three acts (plus a prologue and an epilogue) by the American composer Philip Glass. The English/Latin/Spanish libretto was written by David Henry Hwang.

The work was commissioned by the Metropolitan Opera, New York City, and first performed there on October 12, 1992 (that date being the 500th anniversary of Christopher Columbus discovering the Americas). The British premiere was in Leeds, England, performed by Leeds Youth Opera, with Johnathon Clift and Mike Williamson as the directors, with Richard Pascoe and Alex Simpson playing Columbus.

Synopsis
Glass did not want to create a biographical opera about Columbus, especially in a year when there were countless films, documentaries and other events doing the same job. Instead he opted to make his opera a more general study of exploration – of the oceans, of space and time and of the mind. Columbus remains a central character though, appearing in the second act and the epilogue.

Prologue
We see a scientist in a wheelchair (reminding us of Professor Stephen Hawking), pondering time and space. He sings that despite man's inadequate mind, body and technology, the will to explore and follow one's vision "towards holes on the horizon" has always existed. Meanwhile, the chorus poses eternal questions about time and space repeatedly, growing in volume and intensity.

Act 1
Above an ice-age Earth, a spacecraft hurtles through space out of control. Its occupants are frantic; the Commander sings that nothing on the ship works properly, whilst the rest of the crew call out the ship's status and instrument readings. They see that the planet they are passing can support life, and they decide to make for it. As they await the inevitable crash landing, they recall moments from their lives. They survive the crash and decide to split up, each taking with them one of the "directional crystals" from the ship. Any two of these crystals will, when brought together, indicate the course back to the crew's home planet. The crew consider their new home and what sort of world they would like to live in; each has their own markedly different ideal world. The Commander leaves the wrecked ship to see what awaits her. Outside, she is met by a group of natives that dance a rite of spring and imagine the Commander to be a fantastic god descended from the sky. They sweep her up and she goes with them, becoming part of their celebration.

Act 2
Spain, 1492

Columbus is at the court of Queen Isabella bidding them farewell as he prepares to set sail for the Indies. He is promised untold riches and power on his return. Suddenly this scene fades and we realise that we are aboard Columbus' ship; he has been reminiscing about his departure. It is the 32nd day of the voyage. Doubts are beginning to set in as they sail the endless blue ocean. Isabella appears to him in a vision and reminds him of the faith of Noah and of the Virgin Mary and tells him to hold fast to his faith. She promises him that by seeing the journey through he will further the kingdom of God, as well as gain riches and power. Suddenly the First Mate shouts that he has sighted land.

Act 3
Year 2092

In a space station above the Earth, two astronomers ("Space Twins") scan for signs of life in the cosmos. At the same time, on the Earth, two archeologists (the "Earth Twins") have discovered two of the Directional Crystals from the ship that crashed thousands of years earlier. As they bring the crystals together, their scanning equipment homes in on the planet from which the space travellers in Act I originated. A mission to travel to the planet is begun and we see a terrific celebration as the ship prepares for launch, with dignitaries, politicians, dancers, musicians and a large crowd of well-wishers. The explorers enter the ship and bid farewell to their loved ones. The ship blasts off and another journey of discovery begins.

Epilogue
1506

We see Columbus on his deathbed. Monks chant around him and Isabella appears to accompany the explorer on his final journey into the unknown. (She has already passed on to that realm herself). He accuses her of breaking her promises to him but she claims that he undertook his voyage for pride and vanity, guided by Lucifer. Even so, she offers herself to him but he rejects her, saying that the journey he is about to undergo is far more seductive. Pondering man's eternal quest for knowledge and exploration, he is transported up to the stars.

The libretto is published as part of Trying to Find Chinatown: The Selected Plays of David Henry Hwang by Theatre Communications Group.

Recording
In July 2006, a long-awaited complete recording of the opera became available on Glass' Orange Mountain Music label, based on the staging by the Landestheater Linz (Austria) and conducted by Dennis Russell Davies.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Hsy. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Hsy~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

James Earl Ray
You've contributed a lot of useful information about Ray's claim, after his conviction, to have been framed for the murder. However, as written it appears clearly to endorse the view that this claim is correct. While I appreciate that you probably believe so, on Wikipedia the policy of "Neutral Point of View" says that articles cannot take sides in any dispute. It would help you to consider how to rephrase the article so that it did not appear to be making a case for Ray's innocence. David | Talk 14:51, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

Please help save Repo Man movie article
Hi,

This guy, Dædαlus, is in there trying to remove parts that you, I and many others contributed to the Repo Man article. Please add to the bottom of this thread on the Repo Man talk page that you think the "Notable Motifs" section should not be blanked (erased), but left as is since the Pulp Fiction article also has a "Notable Motifs" section that isn't being considered for removal at all (even by Dædαlus himself).

While I agree that the "Notable Motifs" section could use some work, it certainly won't help the article to delete the whole thing and erase all our work which consists of many multiple contributers over a course of years. I'm willing to work on it and better incorporate it into the article, he just wants to delete it all!

With consensus, we can stop this guy from deleting all our work soon!

Thanks in advance. Cowicide (talk) 01:56, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Stalin Society

Untitled
I am not going to edit out the removal of references to the NCP without getting support from others who agree as I'm not sure which point of view is more neutral on this one. I'd point out that no prominent member of the Labour Party is currently also a member of Socialist Appeal but that doesn't mean the two organisations aren't linked... Or indeed the relationship between Ken Livingstone and Socialist Action.

While I don't expect to see Andy Brooks stand up at a Stalin Society meeting, and indeed there may have been a factional disagreement over the increasing domination of the society by the Brar-ites, I still feel the link between the organisations is relevant.

However, I don't have the open sources to state a watertight case.

Samchallis 14:52, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

Samchallis -- I've replied on the NCP discussion page. The point is that the NCP as a party does not have any connection with the Stalin Society and the disagreements pre-date Brar. Those disagreements were not based on the NCP's understanding of the role of Stalin but on the petty sectarian nature of the officers of the Stalin Society that made it impossible for the NCP to work with them in any capacity. This is a simple fact. Whether any individual members of the NCP are members of the Society is irrelevant as the Society is not proscribed by the NCP. The question is simply the relationship between the NCP as a party and the Society. There is none and there hasn't been one for over a decade.

This society exists in Sweden to. http://www.geocities.com/stalinsallskapet Why don´t you write about it?

User user:Cmdr has been repeatedly removing the following paragraph from the article, claiming it to be nNPOV:

The society publishes essays on its website denying any of the crimes of Stalin and the Stalinist regime including the Katyn Massacre [2] the Ukrainian Famine (Holodomor) [3] and the Stalinist show trials [4] which they variously blame on Germans, dismiss as propaganda, and describe as fair process.

I cannot understand how this can be seen to be the case, as all information is fully referenced to the Society's own website, and following the links fully confirm its claims. If there is any disagreement over the form of the words, that can be raised and discussed here, but blanking a relevant and fully-referenced paragraph over nebulous claims of nNPOV is entirely inappropriate.86.0.203.120 21:49, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

 * The paragraph is written from a hostile POV. However, even rewriting the paragraph from a NPOV would not add anything to this wiki article, as it would simply be listing links to documents that appear on the organization's website (and a link to the Stalin Society's website is already provided in this wiki article). Some of the documents in question originally appeared in other publications (i.e. various communist newspapers/journals), and were simply reposted on the Stalin Society's website. Finally, I see no point in stating the obvious - that there are pro-Stalin articles on a pro-Stalin website. It would be redundant, and debating the history of Stalin is not appropriate for this article (there is already a Joseph Stalin article). This is why I think the paragraph should just be cut out entirely. Cmrdm 05:50, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

 * I cannot see that it is written from a hostile point of view: it merely refers to a series of clearly referenced statements that can be found on the Society's own website. If, however, there is disagreement over the form of words, blanking the information is still not the answer. The fact that some of the articles appear on other websites is neither here nor there: their uncritical reproduction on the Stalin Society website appears as a clear endorsement. Morever, the paragraph in question actually begins "The society publishes essays on its website", so I'm not sure where the bone of contention actually lies. Once more, your point that "debating the history of Stalin is not appropriate for this article (there is already a Joseph Stalin article)" is irrelevant in this context: the inclusion of the information is not intended as a discussion of the crimes of Stalin, but of the position of Stalin Society regarding them. It is of course true that one would expect to see pro-Stalin articles on a pro-Stalin website, but it is always helpful to include specifics, and difficult to justify the removal of relevant and properly sourced details from a very small article on grounds of "stating the obvious". Not that it actually is obvious: it would be entirely possible to generally support Stalin's position whilst accepting the historically orthodox position on particular negative events and activities. This constitutes important information that is not included on the Stalin page, nor should it be.193.195.75.20 (talk) 14:44, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

tiny, ageing and schism-ridden society
Feels like censorship. Is it a tiny organization? Has it not had a lot internal break ups with people leaving or kicked out the organization? Schism? Is not the organization trying to address long dead political leaders? Ageing? Review NPOV designation - Four reasonable, verifiable descriptions about the organization. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bobanni (talk • contribs) 07:34, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

 * It all sounds relevant to the article, which is anyhow too short, can well use some expansion. I think the objection (from someone else) was that the reference was already there -- it's better style to use the second time around. So why not try adding that material from the Independent article, again, but with more attention paid to style? Turgidson (talk) 15:55, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

opinion peice
This article is basically an opinion piece, written in a vulgar style deliberately designed to misrepresent the Stalin Society. I corrected a number of things which were undone. Yet I can't see any justification for saying that the Stalin Society "blames it on the Germans", when in fact they blamed the Nazi Regime, or in privileging the work of Johan Hari - a known liberal, anti-communist polemicist - as somehow authoritative on the Stalin Society, due to him attending one meeting, which he then reported on for a liberal, anti-communist newspaper. Hari's article contains no content and no political analysis. So why should his hearsay be put in this article with the disclaimer "the society has been called...", well, no, one polemicist called it that. Those are weasel words. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lenin2008 (talk • contribs) 17:53, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

 * I agree completely. User:Biophys also vandalized the article by adding a crude sentence in the reference section, which contained expletive language. I also corrected a few spelling mistakes, if you don't mind. Cmrdm (talk) 22:49, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

 * No problem.

Also, User:Biophys justifies her/his argument by saying that s(he) was "restoring sourced views. If "this is only one view", please provide alternative views with sources per WP:NPOV)" (see discussion of the main article page). However, I don't see this logic. It remains "only one view" whether or not I can find "alternative" views on the internet (in fact I can, because the Stalin Society responded to Johan Hari in a letter, which is included on the same page as his Independent article, however, I don't see hwo this minor dispute merits discussion on this page). In fact it will remain onyl one view, until considerably more people can be found expressing that they share that view, and prefereably backing it up with authoritative knowledge and understanding.

Perhaps I should go on to the Johan Hari page and mention that the Stalin Society criticised him. No? Didn't think so.(talk) 13:14, 3 June 2008 (UTC)Lenin2008Lenin2008 (talk) 13:14, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

 * If you can not provide alternative sourced views, it means that cited view is a majority view. The deletion of a sourced majority view is unacceptable per WP:NPOV.Biophys (talk) 19:01, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

 * There is no basis of replacing "Nazis" with "Germans", or your removal of anti-revisionist, or for saying that Bill Bland was "the leader of a movement". The articles on the organization's website do not "blame Germans", they expose crimes committed by the Nazis. Cmrdm (talk) 22:28, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Lenin2008, I think that section of the article needs to be rewritten so that readers can understand the context of the situation (showing how minor/irrelevant it was). The criticism parts of the article need to be organized into a criticism section, which most other Wikipedia articles have.

 * I can't really think how the information in this article would be better presented than in a stand-alone article. The Stalinism article, for instance, is about history and ideology, and sections about national Stalin Societies would probably not be appropriate. In Britain the Stalin Society has garnered coverage from the mainstream press because its support for Stalin's legacy is so unusual. There are articles from the Telegraph, Independent and New Statesman cited in the references, which should help with WP:NOTE. Polly Tunnel (talk) 12:33, 8 December 2015 (UTC)

Johann Hari's "criticism"
Do we really need to report the smug virtue signalling of this bourgeois liberal journalist? There is no serious critique, just comparing Marxist-Leninism to people who believe the earth is flat?? I would say this belongs on his own article. Claíomh Solais (talk) 12:31, 16 March 2017 (UTC)

Nikolai Yezhov
I propose we remove the following content concerning Nikolai Yezhov:

"The responsibility for these events is generally ascribed to the NKVD during the time of Stalin's leadership, but articles published online by the Stalin Society deny this, citing Nikolai Yezhov, and not Stalin as responsible."

This has been marked as unsourced for some time and I cannot find anything on the Stalin Society website to substantiate it, or even make sense of it. Some of those associated with the Stalin Society (Grover Furr, Paul Cannon etc.) consider Yezhov to be a counter-revolutionary responsible for NKVD repressions and conspiring with foreign powers. However, the text above is confusing as it suggests that the Stalin Society believe the NKVD was not responsible for the events but that Yezhov, its head, was.

Lost and the Apple II
Hey... Just a friendly warning: your edit on "Man of Science, Man of Faith" will probably be reverted soon. It's been put up several times, and removed several times, and I diligently participated in a discussion defending the reference, but was ultimately persuaded otherwise. The discussion starts here, but since it is quite long and involved and contentious, you could just read the conclusion, if you care to know why it will be reverted someday soon.

 * Re: can of worms. Yes, it was! I think I learned a lot about Wikipedia through taking part in that discussion.  I, too, thought it wasn't a big deal (especially since I see all sorts of details in the episode summaries that don't see too far away from that one), but there are a group of very dedicated editors who are concerned about standards, and I can understand that.

Terry Gilkyson

Terry Gilkyson (June 17, 1916 – October 15, 1999) was an American folk singer and songwriter.

Biography
Gilkyson was born Hamilton Henry Gilkyson in Phoenixville, Pennsylvania, and graduated from St. George's School in Middletown, Rhode Island in 1935. By his early twenties, he had become a worker on a ranch in Tucson, Arizona, then joined the United States Army Air Forces during World War II. In 1947, he married Jane Haughton and moved to California to pursue a career as a folk singer.

He wrote and recorded "The Cry of the Wild Goose", which became a hit song for Frankie Laine in 1950, as well as the 1953 hit song "Tell Me a Story" recorded by Jimmy Boyd and Laine. In 1951 Gilkyson appeared in, as well as wrote continuing songs for, the Cinecolor Western film Slaughter Trail that, in the manner of High Noon, had ballads throughout the film relating to the plot. He was also featured vocalist on The Weavers No. 1 hit recording of "On Top Of Old Smokey", as well as their recording of "Across The Wide Missouri". He appeared and sang in the 1956 Western Star in the Dust with John Agar, Mamie Van Doren, and Richard Boone.

In 1956, he formed a group called The Easy Riders with Richard Dehr and Frank Miller. The group had a major hit with "Marianne". The record sold in excess of one million copies, earning a gold disc. The three also wrote "Memories Are Made of This", which became a popular song in several versions, most particularly the one sung by Dean Martin backed by the Easy Riders. An adaptation of the song became an anthem for refugees from the 1956 Hungarian Revolution. In 1959, he wrote and recorded an album, 8 Story-Songs from the Bible. The song "Greenfields" co-written with band-mates Frank Miller and Richard Dehr became a number two song in North America in 1960 when performed by The Brothers Four.

In the 1960s, he left the group to work for the Walt Disney Studios, writing music both for movies and the television series The Wonderful World of Disney especially "The Scarecrow of Romney Marsh." In 1968, he was nominated for an Academy Award for "The Bare Necessities" from the 1967 animated film The Jungle Book.

Other songs Gilkyson wrote for Disney films were:
 * Swiss Family Robinson (1960) Song: "My Heart Was An Island'"
 * Savage Sam (1963) Song: "Savage Sam and Me"
 * The Three Lives of Thomasina (1964) Song: "Thomasina"
 * The Moon-Spinners (1964) Song: "The Moon-Spinners"
 * The Jungle Book (1967) Song: "The Bare Necessities", as well as several unused songs composed for the film ("Brothers All", "The Song of the Seeonee", "Monkey See, Monkey Do", "I Knew I Belonged to Her", "In A Day's Work", and "The Mighty Hunters")
 * The Aristocats (1970) Song: "Thomas O'Malley Cat"

Death
He died in Austin, Texas, while visiting family. His interment was at Morris Cemetery in his hometown of Phoenixville, Pennsylvania. He was survived by his children, guitarist Tony Gilkyson (formerly of the bands Lone Justice and X), singer-songwriter Eliza Gilkyson, and Warner Bros. Records executive Nancy Gilkyson.

Filmography

 * Slaughter Trail (1951)
 * Star in the Dust (1956)

There seems to be no logical reason for this to be cateogirzed under "Tori Amos" or "Y Kant Tori Whatever". It's not a Tori Amos song.

Deleting irrelevant info.

I deleted it from the category of "1988 singles" as well. Deathawk 04:50, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

I think it should also be mentioned that there seems to be a connection between this song, Johnny dear, and Mark Z. Danielewski's character Johnny Truant in the novel house of leaves. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.27.22.236 (talk) 18:18, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

WDSU

WDSU (channel 6) is a television station in New Orleans, Louisiana, United States, affiliated with NBC and owned by Hearst Television. The station's studios are located on Howard Avenue in the city's Central Business District, and its transmitter is located on East Josephine Street in Chalmette.

History
The station first signed on the air on December 18, 1948. It was the first television station to sign on in the state of Louisiana, the first in the city of New Orleans, the first on the Gulf Coast, the first in the Deep South, and the 49th in the nation. It was founded by New Orleans businessman Edgar B. Stern, Jr., owner of WDSU radio (1280 AM, now WODT; and 93.3 FM, now WQUE-FM). Stern had inherited the construction permit to build the television station a few months earlier when he bought the WDSU radio stations for $750,000. The station has been a primary NBC affiliate since it signed on, owing to WDSU radio's longtime affiliation with the NBC Red Network; however, it initially also carried programming from the three other major broadcast networks at the time: CBS, ABC, and the DuMont Television Network. It lost DuMont programming when that network ceased operations in August 1956. Even after WJMR-TV (channel 61, now Fox affiliate WVUE on channel 8) signed on in November 1953 as a primary CBS and secondary ABC affiliate, WDSU continued to "cherry-pick" a few of the higher-rated programs carried by those two networks until September 1957, when WWL-TV (channel 4) signed on as a full-time CBS affiliate. At that time, WJMR became a full-time ABC affiliate, leaving WDSU exclusively with NBC.

The radio station was originally located at the DeSoto Hotel (now the Le Pavillon Hotel) on Baronne Street; the "D" in the name stood for the DeSoto, while "S" referred to the now-defunct New Orleans States newspaper (which had maintained a news share agreement with WDSU radio that lasted for one year; the paper later merged with the New Orleans Item-Tribune in 1960, which in turn merged with the Times-Picayune in 1980) and the "U" stood for Joseph Uhalt, who founded the radio station as WCBE in 1923. WDSU-TV originally operated out of studio facilities located within the Hibernia Bank Building, the tallest building in New Orleans at the time (a plaque commemorating its distinction as the station's original broadcasting facility is located on the 14th floor of the building). The WDSU stations moved into the historic Brulatour Mansion on Royal Street in the French Quarter in April 1950; Stern had also bought other buildings near the mansion (including a lumber yard and an ice house) to construct production studios for the radio and television stations. At that point, Stern reorganized his business interests as the Royal Street Corporation. The transmitter site remained at the Hibernia Bank Building until 1955, when it moved to its tall tower in Chalmette.

In the 1950s, WDSU-TV became the springboard for the career of Dick Van Dyke, first as a single comedian and later as the emcee of a locally produced comedy program on the station; among his duties, Van Dyke had also served as a staff announcer, hosted music programs and appeared in a segment during the station's noon newscast. WDSU-TV became the first television station in the New Orleans market to telecast its programming in color in 1955. WDSU-TV was the ratings leader in New Orleans for over a quarter century, largely because of its strong commitment to coverage of local events and news. It originated the first live broadcasts of the Sugar Bowl and Mardi Gras, and was the first area station to provide extensive local hurricane coverage. The station was also the first television station in the market to provide statewide election coverage, as well as the first to utilize a mobile newsgathering unit.

WDSU-TV was also the first to originate an international broadcast, relaying a Today broadcast from Bimini to the United States in 1955, using a 300,000 watt transmitter built by WDSU-TV engineers via special permission granted to NBC by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).

In January 1972, Royal Street merged with Columbia, South Carolina–based Cosmos Broadcasting in a $17 million deal. Cosmos decided to sell off the radio stations because the ownership of the three station properties combined would exceed ownership limits of the time set by the FCC. Cosmos eliminated much of the local flavor that had been the station's hallmark, opting to concentrate on its already strong news operation (channel 6 had been saluted by Time as a news pioneer in 1966). By the early 1980s, rival WWL-TV had overtaken WDSU as the top-rated station from sign-on to sign-off as well as in local news. WDSU has been a solid runner-up to WWL for most of the last quarter-century, although since the mid-2000s, it has had to fend off a strong challenge from a resurgent WVUE. In 1984, WDSU built the first working television studio at a World's Fair for the station's live broadcasts from the event held in New Orleans that year. On February 17, 1986, WDSU became the first NBC affiliate in Louisiana to broadcast its programs in stereo.

Cosmos sold WDSU to Pulitzer, Inc. for $47 million in 1989. Under Pulitzer, channel 6 finally dropped the "-TV" suffix from its calls in 1993, more than 20 years after it and its former radio sisters had gone their separate ways. In March 1996, the station moved into its current facility on Howard Avenue, located a few blocks from the Le Pavillon Hotel, where WDSU radio began operations in 1923. Also during the 1990s, WDSU became the first New Orleans station to operate its own Doppler weather radar system ("Super Doppler 6000"). Pulitzer sold its entire television station division, including WDSU, to Hearst-Argyle Television (predecessor to the present-day Hearst Television) in 1999 for $1.8 billion. WDSU celebrated its 60th anniversary of broadcasting on December 18, 2008.

Since 2009, WDSU has simply branded with its callsign in most verbal references, despite retaining the "channel 6" red dot logo it has used since 2000. In 2015, the NBC Peacock logo was added to the "channel 6" red dot logo, due to the network's requirement that the NBC logo be included with any affiliate's logo.

Hurricane Katrina
Prior to the landfall of Hurricane Katrina, WDSU shut down operations at its studios in New Orleans around 9:30 p.m. on August 28, 2005, in order to allow station staff to take shelter from the oncoming hurricane. At that point, WDSU's broadcasts began to originate from the studios of ABC-affiliated sister station WAPT in Jackson, Mississippi, where some of WDSU's on-air staff had already evacuated. Fellow sister station, NBC affiliate WESH in Orlando, Florida, also originated some on-air weather content during the storm. In the weeks that immediately followed the hurricane, WDSU's news programming originated from the WAPT facility, using meteorologists and anchors from both stations, with programs being simulcast in Jackson and New Orleans.

The Howard Avenue studio facility largely withstood Hurricane Katrina with minimal damage, but WDSU's analog and digital transmitters were both destroyed in the storm. In early September, WDSU arranged to transmit its signal via i: Independent Television affiliate (now Ion Television owned-and-operated station) WPXL-TV (channel 49) through the end of December 2005; WDSU also partnered with i O&O KPXB-TV in Houston to simulcast WDSU's morning newscast and continuing coverage of the storm's aftermath that channel 6 had aired between 6 and 11 p.m. from September 7 to 13, 2005. The station restored its analog signal, operating at reduced power, in October 2005. WDSU chose to replace its existing transmitter building with an elevated and rugged hurricane resistant building to house its analog and digital transmitters; construction of this building was completed in early February 2008. WDSU's digital signal was restored on August 1, 2007, having temporarily shared a frequency with LeSEA Broadcasting-owned WHNO's digital signal on UHF channel 21. In late February 2008, WDSU's analog signal was upgraded to full power; its digital signal on channel 6.1 was restored on March 6, 2008.

Hurricane Gustav
In September 2008, WDSU broadcast continuous coverage of the approach, landfall and aftermath of Hurricane Gustav for five consecutive days. The storm prompted a massive evacuation of much of the station's viewing area. As a result, on September 1, 2008, satellite provider DirecTV began simulcasting WDSU's coverage of Hurricane Gustav nationally on channel 361. Its storm coverage was also streamed on the station's website, while its broadcast audio was carried by the stations within Citadel Broadcasting's New Orleans radio cluster. C-SPAN2 and ABC affiliate WBRZ (channel 2) in Baton Rouge also ran portions of the station's live news coverage of Gustav.

WDSU tapped the resources of parent company Hearst-Argyle Television, and brought in personnel from Hearst-owned television stations across the country to assist in various capacities. Some members of WDSU's news staff were relocated to support studios in Baton Rouge and Orlando, and provided reports via satellite. All three locations stayed operational throughout the storm's duration. Another of WDSU's sister stations, ABC affiliate KOCO-TV in Oklahoma City, also provided WDSU's coverage of Hurricane Gustav via its second digital subchannel for evacuees who came to Oklahoma City.

Programming
Today, WDSU clears the entire NBC programming lineup, only preempting certain programs during instances in which the station has to carry extended breaking news or severe weather coverage.

Among the station's notable local programs over the years included Midday, one of the earliest magazine programs in the United States, hosted by Terry Flettrich (later Rohe, who eventually served as senior citizens affairs correspondent for Good Morning America); the 3:00 Money Movie, a Saturday afternoon movie showcase with irreverent wraparound segments hosted by Sam Adams, who regularly performed parody songs on a piano serving as clues to the answers during phone-in contests for cash prizes; and Morgus the Magnificent, a program hosted by a mad doctor character played by Sid Noel.

In the early 1980s, the station sustained criticism among its viewers when it chose to preempt Late Night with David Letterman in favor of airing the syndicated late night talk show Thicke of the Night, which was a notorious flop; around this time, the station also carried feature films during the overnight hours instead of airing the short-lived news program NBC News Overnight. Cox Cable provided a feed of Late Night from WRBT (now WVLA-TV) in Baton Rouge as an interim solution for their subscribers. When WDSU began clearing Late Night, the station aired the show an hour later than the recommended 11:35 p.m. timeslot for the network's Central Time Zone stations, instead airing syndicated reruns of The Love Boat.

WDSU serves as the local over-the-air broadcaster of Monday Night Football games involving the New Orleans Saints, airing simulcasts of ESPN-televised games. WDSU's corporate parent, Hearst Communications, holds a 20% ownership stake in ESPN (the network's remaining ownership interest is held by The Walt Disney Company), and the company has right of first refusal for simulcasts of ESPN's NFL telecasts in a team's home market, which it has never declined for WDSU (in these situations, the station reschedules NBC's Monday lineup). The station also provides additional game analysis from former Saints coach Jim E. Mora. Prior to 2006, when NBC gained the rights to Sunday night games, WDSU also aired Saints games from 1970 to 1997 whenever the team played host to an AFC team at Tulane Stadium/the Superdome, via NBC's contract to broadcast AFC games in those years. The station also provided local coverage of Super Bowl IX, which was hosted at Tulane Stadium, and Super Bowls XV and XX, both of which were hosted at the Superdome.

The station was unusual in airing Maury from its September 1991 premiere, carrying the show for 27 years until September 2018, despite the program taking a tabloid/conflict focus in the late 1990s and becoming universally associated with affiliates of smaller networks such as The WB, UPN and The CW. WDSU ended carriage of the show upon the launch of a noon newscast, effectively leaving the program off the station schedule, though it quickly found a new home in the market on WNOL-TV.

News operation
WDSU presently broadcasts 38 hours of locally produced newscasts each week (with six hours each weekday, $3 1/2$ hours on Saturdays and $4 1/2$ hours on Sundays). The station also maintains a content partnership with Cumulus Media's New Orleans FM radio cluster (KKND [106.7], KMEZ [102.9], WZRH [92.3] and WRKN [106.1]), which also allows the station to simulcast its broadcast audio during hurricane coverage.

From the start of its news operation, WDSU's newscasts were the highest-rated in the New Orleans market for many years. For much of the time since the early 1980s, WDSU's newscasts have been in second place among the market's news-producing stations. By the mid-2000s, WVUE overtook WDSU for second place among the market's 5 p.m. newscasts; the two stations traded second at 5 p.m. until WDSU overtook WVUE in May 2011. In July 2011, WDSU claimed ratings wins in key demographics at 5 and 6 p.m.—marking the first time in a quarter-century that a station other than WWL-TV had placed first among viewers most sought by advertisers. Newscasts in less competitive time periods of 4:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. also scored wins in key demographic categories, as well as in household ratings.

Among WDSU's first staffers was meteorologist Nash Roberts, one of the first television weather forecasters in the United States, who drew predicted weather conditions by marker on wall maps (Roberts left the station in 1973 to become meteorologist at WVUE-TV); and Mel Leavitt, who served as the station's original sports director and later as its special events director. The station's news department began in 1955, under the guidance of original news director Bill Monroe (who later joined NBC News, first serving as Washington-based news editor for Today and later as moderator of Meet the Press); Monroe also provided editorials on the station, becoming one of the first stations in the country to provide such segments for television. During the 1950s and 1960s, the station carried editorial cartoons (similar to those commonly found in many newspapers) drawn by cartoonist John Churchill Chase; the twice-daily segments featured his take on major local, national and international news stories with commentary over the illustrated pieces (Chase, who died in 1986, has a street in the Warehouse District named in his honor ). Many of the station's reporters in the early years of its news department included staffers from the Times-Picayune newspaper (including Iris Kelso, who worked at WDSU from 1967 to 1978, before returning to the Times-Picayune). On November 11, 2006, after 51 years in New Orleans broadcast television—nearly all of them with WDSU—anchor and former news director Alec Gifford (who died in March 2013) officially announced his retirement from broadcasting. Gifford left the station in December 2006. On December 14, 2008, WDSU entered into a content partnership with Biloxi newspaper Sun Herald, to provide supplementary news and weather coverage focused on South Mississippi. WDSU discontinued its noon newscast on September 11, 2009; three days later on September 14, the station launched an hour-long 4 p.m. newscast; this program gained a competitor on September 12, 2011, when Fox affiliate WVUE debuted its own hour-long newscast in the 4 p.m. timeslot.

On July 10, 2010, WDSU began broadcasting its local newscasts in 16:9 widescreen standard definition, along with the introduction of updated graphics. WDSU is one of now two stations in the New Orleans market that have yet to upgrade production of their local news programming to high definition. WGNO began broadcasting high-definition local news in mid-2011 when it installed a new HDTV control room and studio cameras. WVUE was the first only station in the market that broadcasts its local newscasts in true high definition, having upgraded to HD in April 2007. WWL-TV made the switch to full HD on October 1, 2014. On August 16, 2010, WDSU expanded its weekday morning newscast to $2 1/2$ hours, by adding a 4:30 a.m. newscast entitled WDSU News First Edition. On September 3, 2018, WDSU relaunched an hour-long midday newscast, ending a nine-year absence.

As of August 1, 2019, WDSU is now one of three remaining Hearst Television stations to have yet to upgrade production of their local newscasts to HD (Albuquerque ABC affiliate KOAT and Louisville CBS affiliate WLKY are the others).

Subchannels
The station's signal is multiplexed: {{legend|#DFEBF6|Broadcast on behalf of another station}}

Since March 31, 2012, WDSU digital subchannel 6.2 has been affiliated with MeTV; the subchannel originally launched in 2006 as an affiliate of NBC Weather Plus, before affiliating with The Local AccuWeather Channel in 2009, shortly after Weather Plus' shutdown. Channel 6.2 can be seen on Cox Communications digital cable channel 108 in the New Orleans area, on channel 115 for Charter Spectrum customers on the Northshore, and on channel 136 for Spectrum customers on the Southshore.

Analog-to-digital conversion
WDSU shut down its analog signal, over VHF channel 6, on June 12, 2009, the official date on which full-power television stations in the United States transitioned from analog to digital broadcasts under federal mandate. The station's digital signal continued to broadcast on its pre-transition UHF channel 43, using virtual channel 6. Like all stations broadcasting on channel 6 prior to the digital switchover, WDSU's audio signal could be heard on 87.75 MHz on the FM band in New Orleans and the surrounding areas.

As part of the SAFER Act, WDSU kept its analog signal on the air until July 12 to inform viewers of the digital television transition through a loop of public service announcements from the National Association of Broadcasters.

Digital retransmission disputes
In October 2006, a dispute between WDSU's owner, Hearst-Argyle Television, and Cox Communications caused WDSU's high definition feed to be pulled from Cox's New Orleans area system. As a result, no HD program content was available from WDSU via any medium (over the air, cable, or satellite), forcing New Orleans viewers looking for high-definition NBC programming to attempt to receive a signal from Baton Rouge affiliate WVLA-TV. In April 2007, WDSU-DT was added to DirecTV's lineup, after which local cable providers gradually began to add the feed as well. On September 27, 2007, Cox Communications and Hearst-Argyle announced an agreement to restore WDSU-DT to Cox's New Orleans area cable systems; WDSU-DT and WDSU's WeatherPlus channel were added to Cox's channel lineup the next day.

Born and raised in the village of Tielen (in the Kempen region, just on the Belgian side of the Belgian-Dutch border), Peeters was the youngest child in a family of eleven. When sixteen years old, he began his studies at the Lemmens Institute in Mechelen (since moved to Leuven), which was named after the nineteenth-century organist Jacques-Nicolas Lemmens. At this college, Peeters's teachers were Lodewijk Mortelmans, Jules Van Nuffel and Oscar Depuydt. Depuydt was well known at the time for his collaboration with the Desmet brothers on the first set of Gregorian accompaniments produced by the Lemmens Institute.

Peeters would later collaborate with Van Nuffel and the institute's other professors, to produce the Nova Organi Harmonia. In 1923 he became an organ teacher at the institute; simultaneously he acquired the position of chief organist at the St. Rumbold's Cathedral in Mechelen, which he held for most of the rest of his life; Van Nuffel had already been choirmaster there for many years.

As an organist and pedagogue, Peeters enjoyed great renown, giving concerts and liturgical masterclasses all over the world. He also made recordings of sixteenth-, seventeenth- and eighteenth-century organ music; some of these have been reissued in recent years on compact disc. Most of his own pieces (he wrote well over 100) were for his own instrument, for choir, or for both. Among his many compositions is the well-known Entrata Festiva (opus 93) for choir, brass, timpani, and organ. Other works include Aria (opus 51) and Toccata, fugue and hymn on "Ave Maris Stella" (opus 28),

Peeters studied Renaissance music, particularly of the school of Flemish polyphony. This style was also absorbed into his music. In addition, he showed an interest in twentieth-century techniques such as polyrhythms and polytonality.

He died on his eighty-third birthday; fifteen years before, he had been made a baron by King Baudouin of Belgium.

Pupils of Peeters include the American organist and composer Kathleen Thomerson.

Chacchoben

Chacchoben (chak-CHO-ben; Maya for "the place of red corn") is a Maya ruin approximately 110 mi (177 km) south of Tulum and 7 mi (11 km) from the village from which it derives its name.

History
Settlement by the Maya at the site is estimated at 200 BC, and the structures date from 700 AD. It is characterised by large temples and massive platform groups.

Modern discovery
In the 1940s a farm was established near the site by the Cohuo family. The site was reported visited by archeologist Loring Hewen and briefly described in a letter to ethnohistorian Ralph Roys in 1962. The principal pyramid was apparently then still used as a site for religious worship. The ruins were officially reported to the Mexican government in June 1972 by Dr. Peter Harrison, an American archaeologist who was working on a project for The Royal Ontario Museum, and who also made the first maps of Chacchoben. Harrison stumbled upon this site while flying a helicopter over Mexico and noticed numerous hills in predominantly flat lands. Harrison realized there were temples beneath these hills, which were naturally covered over a period of 2000 years.

Restoration
In 1994 the Mexican National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) excavated and restored the site, which was closed to the public until 2002. Today one temple is still overgrown with nature, and they were unable to restore it.

Chacchoben today
Visitors to the site today can walk a circular path that includes three excavated and restored pyramids, as well as many walls and staircases. Excavation is continuing on several mounds which are known to contain further buildings. Some structures still bear traces of the red paint with which they were originally coated, and INAH has set up shaded areas to prevent further degradation of this pigment by the sun. Also notable at the base of the largest pyramid is a large stone slab called a stela with a Maya hieroglyphic inscription. Chacchoben is one of the more popular ruin sites in southern Quintana Roo, with regular tourist trips from the port of Costa Maya.

The surrounding jungle is characterized by abundant species of fauna, such as deer, peccary, armadillo, gray fox, spider monkey and howler monkey. Deeper into the jungle, more dangerous animals like jaguar, ocelot, puma and tapir can be found.
