 | | Progressive Education in the 1940s - 436 sec
This video presents a positive view of progressive education although it begins with a parent complaining that children are not learning the fundamentals. Various educators are seen including famed John Dewey. One skeptic asserts that ideas similar to progressive education caused a collapse of the ancient Greek civilization. Current debates about educational techniques in many respects seem similar to what was occurring in the 1940s.

| | Compilation of Hibari Misora's songs-1940s - 380 sec
Hibari Misora recorded a total of 2 songs in the 1940s, both of them in 1949. They were;
1. 河童ブギウギ(Kappa Boogie Woogie)
2. 悲しき口笛(Kanashiki Kuchibue)
(Which translates to "Sad Whistle")
I've uploaded both of them here. Kappa Boogie Woogie is her debut song of what is going to be a total of over 1500 songs she will record in the next four decades until her death in 1989.
For those wondering what a Kappa is, it's a Japanese imaginary creature, green or yellow in colour, and translates to 'river child'. They resemble the looks of monkeys with tortoise shells on their backs. Young Hibari, 12 years old at the time, dressed up as one in the movie 'Odoru Ryugujyou' and sang this song.It is apparent that this song was not her favourite, as she later recalled in her interviews that dressing up like a Kappa was simply embarassing, and considers her next song, 'Kanashiki Kuchibue' to be her true debut song.
She recorded 'Kanashiki Kuchibue' a total of four times during her entire career. This version is the original.
Please rate, comment and enjoy!!

| | Scenes in Tibet (1940s) - extracts - 196 sec
These extraordinary scenes were filmed in Tibet in the 1940s and include shots of the current Dalai Lama (then still a very young boy) and his family. The opening scenes show the Dalai Lama's parents and siblings, and a procession of high-ranking men and women. This is followed by a clip of a procession with the Dalai Lama in a golden palanquin, his presence indicated by the peacock feather umbrella being carried alongside. The final scenes, in contrast, show ordinary children dancing and ice-skating in Lhasa.
Highlights from the BFI National Archive's extensive collection of films shot in Tibet prior to the Chinese occupation can now be seen in the BBC/BFI co-production, 'The Lost World of Tibet' (2008). Featuring a potent interview with the Dalai Lama an extended version the documentary is available to buy on DVD from the BFI Filmstore - http://filmstore.bfi.org.uk
You can now watch over 20 hours of films made in Tibet between 1922 and 1949 in the Mediatheque at BFI Southbank. These include the films of plant hunter and botanist George Sherriff (his love of nature is reflected in the remarkable jewel-like colours of his films); James Guthrie, a Medical Officer who - among rather more important things - removed a cyst from the eye of one of the Dalai Lama's peacocks and Frederick Bailey: Political Agent, butterfly collector and spy. http://www.bfi.org.uk/mediatheque

| | The Victory March of Notre Dame - 1940's - (78RPM) - 165 sec
This is an RCA Victor 78 RPM record of The Victory March of Notre Dame as performed by Tex Beneke with The Miller Orchestra. Its a very unique take on this classic fight song.
The record came in an "Album" (set P183), as many record sets of the era did (thus the term Record Album). The actual record number is 20-2340-B
Oddly enough, The set was called "Prom Date - Famous College Songs in Dance Tempo". I may record more in time an set up a playlist. Some of the 7 other tracks include Anchors Aweigh and On Wisconsin.
Oh, and mid-song my dog started clickin' around the kitchen, and then got a drink. Sorry for the background noise :) The record is being played on my 1956 Philco.

| | Paulette Goddard ~ 1930's And 1940's Actress - 296 sec
To watch in HQ:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fWE9MEdPR0&fmt=18
Paulette Goddard, born Marion Pauline Levy, (June 3, 1910 -- April 23, 1990) was an Oscar-nominated American film and theatre actress. A former child fashion model and in several Broadway productions as Ziegfeld Girl, she was a major star of the Paramount Studio in the 1940s. She was married to several notable men, including Charlie Chaplin, Burgess Meredith and Erich Maria Remarque.
Her stage debut was in the Ziegfeld revue No Foolin in 1926. The next year she made her stage acting debut in The Unconquerable Male. She also changed her first name to Paulette and took her mother's maiden name (which also happened to be her favorite uncle Charles' last name) as her own last name. She married an older, wealthy businessman, lumber tycoon Edgar James, in 1926 and moved to North Carolina to be a socialite, but divorced him in 1930 and received a huge divorce settlement.
In 1929 she came to Hollywood with her mother after signing a contract with Hal Roach Studios, and appeared in small parts of several films over the next few years, starting with Laurel & Hardy shorts.
At Samuel Goldwyn Productions, she also joined other such future notables as Betty Grable, Lucille Ball, Ann Sothern, and Jane Wyman as "Goldwyn Girls" with Eddie Cantor in films such as The Kid from Spain, Roman Scandals and Kid Millions.
In 1932, she met Charlie Chaplin and began an eight-year personal and cinematic relationship with him. Chaplin bought Goddard's contract from Roach Studios and cast her as a street urchin opposite his Tramp character in the 1936 film Modern Times, which made Goddard a star. During this time she lived with Chaplin in his Beverly Hills home.
Their actual marital status was and has remained a source of controversy and speculation. During most of their time together, both refused to comment on the matter. At the premier of The Great Dictator in 1940, Chaplin first introduced Goddard as his wife. The couple split amicably soon afterward, and Goddard allegedly obtained a divorce in Mexico in 1942, with Chaplin agreeing to a generous settlement. For years afterward, Chaplin stated that they were married in China in 1936, but to private associates and family, he claimed they were never legally married, except in common law.
Goddard began gaining star status after appearing in The Young in Heart (1938), Dramatic School (1938), and a supporting role in The Women (1939) which starred Joan Crawford, Norma Shearer and Rosalind Russell.
During filming of The Women, Goddard was considered as a finalist for the role of Scarlett O'Hara in the 1939 film Gone with the Wind, but after many auditions and a Technicolor screen test, lost the part to Vivien Leigh. It has been suggested that questions regarding her marital status with Chaplin, in that era of morals clauses, may have cost her the role.
Nonetheless, in 1939, Goddard signed a contract with Paramount Pictures and her next film The Cat and the Canary (1939) with Bob Hope, was a turning point in the careers of both actors.
Goddard starred with Chaplin again in his 1940 film The Great Dictator, and then was Fred Astaire's leading lady in the musical Second Chorus (1940), where she met Burgess Meredith. One of her best-remembered film appearances was in the variety musical Star Spangled Rhythm (1943) in which she sang a comic number "A Sweater, a Sarong, and a Peekaboo Bang" with contemporary sex symbols Dorothy Lamour and Veronica Lake.
She received her only Academy Award nomination, for Best Supporting Actress, in 1944 for So Proudly We Hail! (1943). Her most successful film was Kitty (1945), where she played the title role. In The Diary of a Chambermaid (1946), she starred opposite Meredith, by then her husband.
Her career faded in the late 1940s. In 1947 she made An Ideal Husband in Britain for Alexander Korda films, being accompanied on a publicity trip to Brussels by Clarissa Churchill, niece of Sir Winston and future wife of Prime Minister Anthony Eden. In 1949, she formed Monterey Pictures with John Steinbeck. Her last starring roles were the English production A Stranger Came Home (known as The Unholy Four in the USA), and Charge of the Lancers in 1954. She also acted in summer stock and on television, including in the 1955 television remake of The Women, playing a different character than she played in the 1939 feature film. In 1964, she attempted a comeback in films with a supporting role in the Italian film Time of Indifference, but that turned out to be her last feature film. Her last acting role was in The Snoop Sisters (1972) for television.

| | The Trip, 1940's chevrolet car commercial vivid Technicolour - 50 sec
http://www.myxboxhacks.com
In this 1939 short, a suburban California family gets all dressed up to drive their new 1940 Chevrolet to see grandma and grandpa, who still live on the family farm. Dad's in a suit and tie, and Mom has on a dressy dress and chic hat. Are they dressed up to go see the grandparents or are they dressed up to ride in their new Chevrolet? They pack their expensive looking luggage in the trunk This family has money to spend. When we think of the 1930's and families on the road, we're more likely to think of the old Model T in "The Grapes of Wrath" than of this affluent nuclear family. Is this image pure fantasy, or was America truly coming out of the Depression in 1939? The announcer mentions the car's"utmost economy" but that's not the real message of the ad. The Chevrolet symbolizes comfort (the kids asleep in the back seat), glamour, conspicuous consumption and personal mobility. The farm is another affluent place from what we see of it. Grandma and Grandpa sure don't resemble WPA photographs of dustbowl farmers, although who knows? Americans wanted to put the poverty and deprivation of the 30s behind them and this ad with its conspicuous display of wealth reflects that longing.

| | 1940's Cheesecake Adult Film #2 not Porn - 151 sec
The is film number 2. I recently purchased a box of 16mm films at an estate sale. Mostly home movies circa WWII, however there was 1 film loaded on an unmarked reel inside an unmarked box. It consists of several 2 1/2 minute episodes of Bebe, Zona, and Lou. 3 naughty girls who love to show their underwear. This is NOT porn by any stretch of the imagination, but in the 1940s, this was adult entertainment! VERY funny compared to today's world.

| | Early RAF jet planes of the 1940s and 50s. - 410 sec
Early RAF jet planes of the 1940s and 50s. I have not included all of the RAF jets of the 40s and 50s just my favourites starting with the Gloster Meteor the first operational allied jet fighter. The Meteor entered RAF squadron service beginning in July 1944 and was used to intercept German V-1 flying bombs. Meteor IIIs flew to the Continent in January 1945 and operated out of the Low Countries with the 2nd Tactical Air Force until the end of the war in early May 1945. They performed ground strafing attacks there is some war time footage of this shown in the video. The next jets to appear in the video in the order that you see them are the de Havilland vampire also developed during the war but did not see any combat it holds two key distinctions in the history of aviation. It was the first jet-powered aircraft to successfully land on a moving aircraft carrier (the Sea Vampire) and was the first single-jet-powered aircraft in British service. Next the The de Havilland Venom FB.1 went into service with RAF Germany in the summer of 1952. The Hawker Hunter follows that it first entered service with the RAF in July 1954. Then we get into the bombers the first being the English Electric Canberra a really successful design it remained in service with the Royal Air Force until 23 June 2006, 57 years after its first flight. it was also one of the few foreign aircraft to be purchased by the Americans with the designation B57. Then come the V bombers. The Vickers Valiant was the first of the V-bombers and also the first to see combat, during the Anglo-French-Israeli Suez intervention in October and November 1956. Next in the video is the Handley-Page Victor it entered RAF service with Number 232 Operational Conversion Unit (OCU) in November 1957. Although the Victor never fired a shot in anger, it did see action in the tanker role during the Falklands war. The second combat operations of the Victor took place in the first Gulf War. Following Saddam Hussein's invasion of Kuwait. Eight Victors provided tanker support. The Victors flew 229 sorties, providing refueling services for US Navy aircraft along with the RAF fleet. Victors also provided tanker support for air patrols over Iraq into 1993. The last Victor unit, Number 55 Squadron, was disbanded in October 1993. The last aircraft shown in the video is the Avro Vulcan it was the second of the V-bombers to enter service into service with the Number 230 Operational Conversion Unit (OCU) in early 1957. They only saw combat at the end of their service in the Falklands war during the 7 black buck raids which also involved the Victor tankers. The Avro Vulcan performed its last flight in bomber service in December 1982 and as tankers they were retired in the spring of 1984.
