Year 1928 (MCMXXVIII) was a leap year starting on Sunday (link will display full calendar) of the Gregorian calendar and a leap year starting on Saturday of the Julian calendar. This was the last year that the Julian calendar was used and by 1 January 1929, every state in the entire world had adopted the Gregorian calendar.

Man Ray (born Emmanuel Radnitzky) (August 27, 1890 – November 18, 1976) was an American artist who spent most of his career in Paris, France. Described as a modernist, he was a significant contributor to both the Dada and Surrealist movements; although his ties to each were informal. Best known in the art world for his avant-garde photography, Ray produced major works in a variety of media and was a renowned fashion and portrait photographer, even though he considered himself a painter above all. Ray is also noted for his work with photograms, with the artist coining the term "Rayographs" in reference to himself.

Whilst appreciation for Ray's work beyond his fashion and portrait photography was not forthcoming during his lifetime, especially in his native United States, his reputation has grown steadily in the decades since.[citation needed]

From the time he began attracting attention as an artist until his death more than sixty years later, Man Ray allowed little of his early life or family background to be known to the public, even refusing to acknowledge that he ever had a name other than Man Ray.

Harold Clayton Lloyd, Sr. (April 20, 1893 – March 8, 1971) was an American film actor and producer, most famous for his silent comedies.

Harold Lloyd ranks alongside Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton as one of the most popular and influential film comedians of the silent film era. Lloyd made nearly 200 comedy films, both silent and "talkies", between 1914 and 1947. He is best known for his "Glasses Character", a resourceful, success-seeking go-getter who was perfectly in tune with 1920s era America.

His films frequently contained "thrill sequences" of extended chase scenes and daredevil physical feats, for which he is best remembered today. Lloyd hanging from the hands of a clock high above the street in Safety Last! (1923) is one of the most enduring images in all of cinema.[citation needed] Lloyd did many of these dangerous stunts himself, despite having injured himself in August, 1919 while doing publicity pictures for the Roach studio. An accident with a bomb mistaken as a prop resulted in the loss of the thumb and index finger of his right hand (the injury was disguised on future films with the use of a special prosthetic glove, though the glove often did not go by unnoticed).

Carl Theodor Dreyer, Jr. (3 February 1889 – 20 March 1968) was a Danish film director. He is regarded by many critics and filmmakers as one of the greatest directors in cinema.

Dreyer was born illegitimate in Copenhagen, Denmark. His birth mother was an unmarried Scanian maid named Josefine Bernhardine Nilsson, and he was put up for adoption by his birth father, Jens Christian Torp, a married Danish farmer living in Sweden who was his mother's employer. He spent the first two years of his life in orphanages until his adoption by a typographer named Carl Theodor Dreyer, Sr., and his wife, Inger Marie (née Olsen). His adoptive parents were emotionally distant and his childhood was largely unhappy. He later recalled that his parents "constantly let me know that I should be grateful for the food I was given and that I strictly had no claim on anything, since my mother got out of paying by lying down to die." But he was a highly intelligent school student, who left home and formal education at the age of sixteen. He dissociated himself from his adoptive family, but their teachings were to influence the themes of many of his films.

Joan of Arc, nicknamed "The Maid of Orléans" (French: Jeanne d'Arc,IPA: [ʒan daʁk]; ca. 1412 – 30 May 1431), is a folk heroine of France and a Roman Catholic saint. A peasant girl born in what is now eastern France who claimed divine guidance, she led the French army to several important victories during the Hundred Years' War, which paved the way for the coronation of Charles VII of France. She was captured by the Burgundians, transferred to the English in exchange for money, put on trial by the pro-English Bishop of Beauvais Pierre Cauchon for charges of "insubordination and heterodoxy," and was burned at the stake for heresy when she was only 19 years old.

Twenty-five years after her execution, an inquisitorial court authorized by Pope Callixtus III examined the trial, pronounced her innocent, and declared her a martyr. Joan of Arc was beatified in 1909 and canonized in 1920. She is – along with St. Denis, St. Martin of Tours, St. Louis IX, and St. Theresa of Lisieux – one of the patron saints of France. Joan said that she had visions from God that instructed her to recover her homeland from English domination late in the Hundred Years' War. The uncrowned King Charles VII sent her to the siege of Orléans as part of a relief mission. She gained prominence when she overcame the dismissive attitude of veteran commanders and lifted the siege in only nine days. Several additional swift victories led to Charles VII's coronation at Reims and settled the disputed succession to the throne.

Eines Abends setzte sich ein alter Mann zu mir und erzaehlte:
"Weisst Du, mein Sohn, irgendwann einmal,
kurz nach diesem gewaltigen, allerletzten Knall,
wenn's auf der Erde nur mehr grosse, nackte Steine gibt,
mit einer fettigen, schwarzen Russschicht bedeckt,
wird ein grosses, weisses, strahlendes Raumschiff landen.
Irgendwo zwischen dem ehemaligen Los Angeles
und dem verdampften Schwarzen Meer."
"Und diese fremden, hochgewachsenen Wesen
werden Pillen an Bord haben,
die sie uns Menschen als Geschenk ueberreicht haetten,
so wie man immer, wenn man irgendwelche Wilde besucht,
ihnen kleine Geschenke ueberreicht.
Pillen gegen die Traurigkeit haetten sie uns geschenkt,
wenn wir noch dagewesen waeren.
Stell Dir wor, mein Sohn -"
sagte der alte Mann ganz traurig -
"wunderbare, kleine Pillen gegen die Traurigkeit."
"Und diese fremden, hochgewachsenen Wesen
werden ihr Raumschiff verlassen,
sie werden sich umsehen und sofort wissen,
dass hier vor kurzem ein gewaltiger,
ein allerletzter Knall war.
Und dann werden sie sich kopfschuettelnd
zwischen die grossen, nackten Steine setzen
und schwer durchatmen.
Und jeder von ihnen wird schnell
eine Pille gegen die Traurigkeit schlucken.
Einer von ihnen wird sogar mit dem Finger
in die fettige, schwarze Russschicht an einem
grossen, nackten Steine schreiben:
"Wir haetten so gerne gewusst, wie Du bist!
Wie Du aussiehst! Wie Du sprichst!
Mensch!"
"Und dann ploetzlich wird einer von ihnen was rufen,
er wird rufen, dass er was gefunden hat.
Und das wird ein alter, verbeulter, kleiner Filmprojektor sein,
mit einem eingespannten Film.
Ja, warum nicht", sagte der alte Mann.
"Und sie werden sich freuen,
die hochgewachsenen fremden Wesen,
sie werden warten, bis es dunkel ist
und den Film auf ihr strahlendes, weisses Raumschiff projizieren.
Und sie werden sehr staunen,
denn sie werden einen Micky Maus-Film sehen.
Einen Micky Maus-Film, mit Donald Duck,
Kater Carlo und Goofy.
"Und diese fremden, hochgewachsenen Wesen
werden in ihr Raumschiff steigen und sagen,
sie waren lustig, diese Menschen.
Sie haben lustig ausgesehen,
sie haben lustig gesprochen,
wir haetten unsere Pillen gegen die Traurigkeit
voellig umsonst ueberreicht."
Diese Geschichte hat mir der alte Mann erzaehlt.
Ich habe nachgedacht und folgende Zeilen aufgeschrieben.
An einem bestimmten Tag, im Jahr 1928,
standen sie ploetzlich links,
der seine Pflicht tuende Mond, und rechts,
die ihre Pflicht tuende Sonne,
am selben Himmel gegenueber.
Erschreckt starrten sie sich an
und in diesem kurzen Schreckensmoment vergassen beide
fuer Bruchteile von Sekunden ihre Pflicht zu tun.
Die Folgen waren verheerend.
Bitte, dieser Tag sei in alle Ewigkeit verflucht!
