Jack Bowdery papers

These records relate to both Jack Bowdery and Alicia Ammon. The records include: scripts, short stories, reminiscences, publicity material, scrapbooks, interviews and an audiotape of a performance by Jack Bowdery. A significant section of the records is the "Millie and Lizzie" scripts, written by Jack and Alicia Ammon. "Millie and Lizzie" was a radio situation comedy that was broadcast over Vancouver radio stations from 1930 to 1934 and in 1936. The main characters, two charladies living in England then moving to British Columbia, were acted by Alicia and Jack Ammon. The series was the first radio sitcom in Canada. Another large part of the records are publicity material that include newspaper clippings, magazine articles, playbills, photographic presentations, resumes and videotape promotions. They were compiled both for personal reasons and for career promotion. These records were frequently used in the preparation of resumes and other presentations. Also included is an audiotape, recorded in 1993, in which Jack Bowdery performs a simulation of two "Millie and Lizzie" episodes, call number T-4402:1.

Madeleine

The item is a film print from 1969. It is a "short film about Madeleine, a window dresser in a downtown clothing store in British Columbia. Her imagination brings mannequins to life and turns people into mannequins. She also day dreams of a clown friend, whose real-life counterpart she meets at the film's conclusion. The film makes use of several photo montage sequences." (NAC description). Director Sylvia Spring later expanded this film idea into her feature film Madeleine is . . . (1970).

Pacific Cinematheque collection

  • PR-2235
  • Collection
  • 1944-1975

The collection consists of film printing elements and film prints accumulated by the Pacific Cinematheque as part of their archival mandate.

The collection also includes a few release prints of older National Film Board productions (1944-1968), most of which are no longer circulated by the NFB. These films on British Columbia subjects were selected from the Cinematheque's collection of NFB prints, most of which were acquired from the Vancouver Public Library. There is also a video transfer of the NFB film "Breakdown" (1951).

A smaller part of the collection (accession F1987:21) comprises prints and/or printing elements of nine films made in the period 1969-1975 by Vancouver independent and student filmmakers, including Peter Bryant, Fred Cawsey, Tom Shandel, Sylvia Spring, and Richard Watson. Most of these are short 16 mm films, but there are also 35 mm theatrical release prints of two B.C. features: Shandel's "Another Smith for Paradise" and Spring's "Madeleine Is . . .", both released in 1971.
