Marion Harris - After You've Gone (1918)
Marion Harris - After You've Gone (1918)
Marion Harris (1896 - April 23, 1944) was an American popular singer around 1920. She was the first widely known white singer to sing jazz and blues songs. Born Mary Ellen Harrison, probably in Indiana, she first played vaudeville and movie theatres in Chicago around 1914. She was spotted by dancer Vernon Castle, who enabled her entrance into the New York theatre scene where she debuted in a 1915 Irving Berlin revue titled Stop! Look! Listen!. In 1916 she began recording for Victor Records, singing a variety of songs such as "Everybody's Crazy 'Bout the Doggone Blues, But I'm Happy", "After You've Gone", "When I Hear that Jazz Band Play", her biggest success "I Ain't Got Nobody", and "A Good Man Is Hard to Find", later recorded by Bessie Smith. In 1920, after the Victor label would not allow her to record WC Handy's "St. Louis Blues", she joined Columbia Records where she recorded the song successfully. Sometimes billed as "The Queen of the Blues", she tended to record blues- or jazz-flavoured tunes throughout her career. Handy wrote of Harris that "she sang blues so well that people hearing her records sometimes thought that the singer was colored". She herself said:"..you usually do best what comes naturally [and] so I just naturally started singing Southern dialect songs and the modern blues songs.." In 1922 she moved to the Brunswick label. She also continued to appear in Broadway theatres throughout the 1920s. She regularly played the Palace Theatre, appeared in <b>...</b>

Civil War 1918 1/4
Civil War 1918 1/4
When Finland was declared independent on December 6th 1917, it already had a senate and the infrastructure of an independent country. The one thing it lacked was an army. The only military presens on Finnish soil were the Russian troops that the last czar had put there in case of an uprising in Finland. The radical elements of the workers movement seized the moment and formed their own army, the Red Guards. The conservatives on the other hand formed the White Guards. The nationalist movement also had the Jaeger troops (Jääkärit), young men who had been training in Germany for 3 years, ready to form the core of a future Finnish army. Part 1 of 4 videos with old pictures and interviews, both with experts and with people who lived at the time and experience those events firsthand. This is a shortened and somewhat re-edited version of a documentary by YLE2.

Klimt 1918 - Skygazer
5/1/2009 - Edit II 2000+ views! Hope this will do good to the band's notoriety! Thank you! [Original text:] Fourth musical slideshow representing a song from an Italian Alternative Rock band. As always, credits go to Google for the images. All creations belong to their respective autors. Before going on with the lyrics, I'd like to explain a few things about this slide. As you'll notice, the development is very slow compared to my other uploads: the average photogram lasts about 10 seconds, and the last one starts at 4:24 and ends at 4:44, about twice the average. Also, lots of pictures (almost all of them) are pictures of the sky, instead of various lyric-related images. Why this? That's quite simple: first of all, this song is the most beautiful tribute to the sky I've ever met. The kingdom of calm and serenity deserves the same calm while showing itself, so I decided to promote a slow development for the vid. Picture-wise, I wanted to respect this song's beauty in full, and placing beautiful pictures that were too different from the vast blue vault sounded like a heresy to me. I love the sky in all its wonderful meanings and I hope you'll like it too. Thanks for your attention. Finally, here are the lyrics: [Solo] "Till the colours dissolve A slight difference in the air I feel Whatever wind says I am, that's what I'm not I don't cry over you [Pre-Chorus:] My hands are so cold My face is so pale With more sky than words I live Season has changed Each loss of my breath <b>...</b>

Tarzan of the Apes First ever film 1918 Gordon Griffith
Tarzan of the Apes First ever film 1918 Gordon Griffith
The very first Tarzan movie shot in 1918. Some scenes Of Tarzan of the Apes staring The child actor Gordon Griffith as the boy Tarzan. aged 10. These are a few clips cut short to fit the 10 minute limit. Its a very pixilated copy of a historically important silent film. The whole movie is now public domain and can be found in many Internet movie sites. A full clear version can be easily downloaded. This was the movie that brought Tarzan to the masses and set the ball rolling. Only those that had read the book knew of the ape man prior to this film. Even today every one knows of Tarzan but how many have read the book? Gordon Griffith (1907-1958) was big in his day and had been acting in short films for children. Griffith was already an experienced actor when, at age seven, he got his first acting role as a regular character in the Little Billy serials. Mack Sennett of Keystone Studios cast Griffith in many of his slapstick features, where he eventually earned supporting roles in Charlie Chaplin films, including Tillie's Punctured Romance. His big break came with the role of young Tarzan, in the 1918 film Tarzan of the Apes. He was required to do his own stunts, such as climbing trees, swinging from vines, and interacting closely with a chimpanzee. Griffith also has several nude scenes in the first half of the film, making him one of the first pre-teens to appear on screen naked. Griffith appears before the actor portraying the adult Tarzan—Elmo Lincoln—making him the first <b>...</b>

Claude Debussy (1862-1918): "La cath茅drale engloutie"
Claude Debussy (1862-1918): "La cath茅drale engloutie"
The composer Claude Debussy needs little introduction. As a pianist, he was noted for his avoidance of the crisp, dry and articulated style which typified French pianism of the nineteenth century. His style of playing was simple, highly tone-conscious and completely uncluttered by over-expressive angst. This piece is number ten in the first book of Préludes. The recording is a piano roll recording made by Debussy for Welte in 1913 (just three years after the work was composed). The piano rolls for Welte are amongst the most accurate we have, conveying the original performed dynamics, attack and pedalling rather faithfully, and when a good roll is played on a properly conditioned piano, the problems of dubious rhythmic bumpiness which infect many roll playbacks can vanish. This rendition seems as fine as we could hope for. Debussy makes important changes to the music here, doubling the tempo when bars are notated in 3/2 (the prevailing tempo being 6/4).

The Influenza Pandemic of 1918
The Influenza Pandemic of 1918
Scientists have built an organism from scratch in an experiment that raises questions about the very nature of life. The research, reminiscent of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, will horrify many religious leaders, politicians and philosophers. The world's first synthetic organism is a tiny polio virus constructed artificially in the laboratory. But it is a first step towards creating more complex forms of life. Within a century, some scientists believe it will be possible to 'reconstruct' species that have become extinct, or create totally new organisms. The researchers who created the version of the polio virus said they wanted to prove how easy it would be for terrorists to make deadly biological weapons. A team at the University of New York at Stony Brook assembled the virus and then injected it into mice. The animals were just as they would have been by a naturally-occurring polio virus, and then killed. 'The reason we did it was to prove that it can be done and it now is a reality,' said Dr Eckard Wimmer, leader of the research team, which reports its findings today in the journal Science. 'This approach has been talked about, but people didn't take it seriously.' The polio virus is tiny in genetic terms, but building an artificial replica took several years. The scientists followed a genetic 'recipe' for polio downloaded from the Internet and using genetic material - DNA --from a mail-order supplier to use as building blocks. They made a series of small genetic <b>...</b>
