Merrie Melodies is an American animated series of comedy short films produced by Warner Bros. between 1931 and 1969, during the golden age of American animation. Merrie Melodies
In 1931, a stranger appeared out of nowhere in the Canadian Arctic. Months later, the North's biggest manhunt was launched to find the elusive murderer and thief. The fugitive's unknown identity died with him, never to be discovered until now. Arctic Manhunt Hunt for the Mad Trapper
A tragic true story that began in the spring of 1931 when nine black men were pulled off an Alabama freight train and accused of raping two young white women. The nine young men were quickly tried and sentenced to the electric chair. News of their convictions spread, forcing an appeal to the United States Supreme Court. New York attorney Sam Leibowitz (Timothy Hutton) traveled to Alabama in 1933 during segregation to defend the nine young men - setting in motion a legal battle that ultimately changed the lives of everyone involved as well as the course of American jurisprudence. Heaven's Fall
When President Franklin D. Roosevelt took office in 1933, one in four Americans was out of work nationally, but in some cities and some industries unemployment was well over 50 percent. Equally troubling were the bank panics. Between 1929 and 1931, 4,000 banks closed for good; by 1933 the number rose to more than 9,000, with $2.5 billion in lost deposits. Banks never have as much in their vaults as people have deposited, and if all depositors claim their money at once, the bank is ruined. Millions of Americans lost their money because they arrived at the bank too late to withdraw their savings. The panics raised troubling questions about credit, value, and the nature of capitalism itself. And they made clear the unpredictable relationship between public perception and general financial healthâ€”the extent to which the economy seemed to work as long as everyone believed that it would. To stop the run on banks, many states simply closed their banks the day before Rooseveltâ€™s inauguration. Roosevelt himself declared a four-day â€œbank holidayâ€ almost immediately upon taking office and made a national radio address on Sunday, March 12, 1933, to explain the banking problem. Then until 1944 FDR spoke to America as the depression gave rise to World War II. FDR Fireside Chats 1933-1944
Cab Calloway -- the legendary Hi De Ho man -- was a energetic showman, gifted singer, and talented actor. A truly larger than life figure in American pop culture, immortalized in cartoons and caricatures, Calloway also led one of the greatest bands of the Swing Era.

The middle-class Calloway family hoped their son would become a lawyer like his father. But young Cabell, born in Rochester, New York, on Christmas Day in 1907, and raised primarily in Baltimore, Maryland, wanted to be an entertainer. Cab did attend law school in Chicago, but the hours past sunset found him performing in local nighclubs.It was in such a club where he met trumpeter Louis Armstrong, who taught him to sing in the scat style. Eventually, Cab left law school to sing with a band called the Alabamians.

In 1930, the Cotton Club emerged as a hip new club in Harlem known for its lavish stage shows and talented musicians like Duke Ellington. Cabs singing and showmanship captured the attention of the owner and his band was hired to replace the Ellingtons band. In 1931, Cab and his manager, Irvin Mills, put together a song that will forever be identified with Calloway -- Minnie The Moocher. The tune sold over one million copies and the group soon broke every existing record for all-black band audiences.

The success of Minnie the Moocher and its steady gig at the Cotton Club had Cabs big band in constant demand. The group spent quite a bit of time on the road and when racism reared its ugly head Cab used proceeds from the Cotton Club and Minnie money to travel lavishly by chartered train. Cabs scat singing, dancing, comedic personality and flashy elegance had made him a star and a million-selling recording artist. He continued to perform right up until his death in 1994 at the age of 88. cab calloway

Fluxus (from to flow) is an art movement noted for the blending of different artistic disciplines, primarily visual art but also music and literature. Fluxus was loosely organized in 1962 by George Maciunas (1931-78), a Lithuanian-American artist who had moved to Germany to escape his creditors, along with his fellow Lithuanian and personal friend, Almus Salcius. Besides America and Europe, Fluxus also took root in Japan.
Among its associates were Joseph Beuys, Dick Higgins, Nam June Paik and Yoko Ono who explored media ranging from performance art to poetry to experimental music to film. They took the stance of opposition to the ideas of tradition and professionalism in the arts of their time, the Fluxus group shifted the emphasis from what an artist makes to the artists personality, actions, and opinions. Throughout the 1960s and 70s (their most active period) they staged action events, engaged in politics and public speaking, and produced sculptural works featuring unconventional materials. Their radically untraditional works included, for example, the video art of Nam June Paik and the performance art of Beuys. The often playful style of Fluxus artists led to their being considered by some little more than a group of pranksters in their early years. Fluxus has also been compared to Dada and aspects of Pop Art and is seen as the starting point of mail art.
Most notorious are the Fluxus performance pieces or Event Scores such as George Brechts Drip Music. Fluxus artists differentiate Event Scores from happenings which they called Flux Events. Whereas Happenings were meant to blur the lines between performer and audience, performance and reality, Fluxus performances were sometimes one-liners and sight gags. The performances sought to elevate the banal and dissemble the high culture of serious music and art.
Marcel Duchamp and John Cage were highly influential to Fluxus. Fluxus
