"From one of the masters of twentieth-century cinema comes this indispensable and entertaining guide to a visionary new form of moviemaking. So convinced is Francis Ford Coppola that 'live cinema' will become a powerful medium within the larger film industry that he has crafted this instructional book, filled with lively anecdotes and invaluable lessons--a boon for moviegoers, film students, and teachers alike. As digital moviemaking, like live sports, can now be performed by one director or by a collaborative team working across the Internet, it is only a matter of time before "cinema auteurs" will create "live" movies of the highest creative quality that will be sent instantly via satellite to be viewed in faraway theaters. Whether recounting his own boyhood obsession with film, tracing the origins of 'live cinema' through a history of early film and live 1950s television shows, or presenting state-of-the-art techniques on everything from rehearsals to equipment, Coppola demonstrates that the spontaneity of this genre of 'live cinema' will transport filmmaking into a new era of creativity previously unimaginable." - Publisher.

Favorites during the Victorian period, they have made a dramatic comeback. It's easy to see why: no other pla nt offers such a dazzling variety of leaf colors, shapes, and pat terns, and no other plant is so easy to grow and propagate. Given a modicum of care, coleus will flourish from spring until frost. Although older varieties performed best in shady situations, new er ones have been selected for sun tolerance, making it possible to grow coleus in every part of the garden. With their sumptuous colors and tough constitution, coleus are ideal both as attention -getting focal points and as complements to other foliage or flow ering plants. As happy in a container as in open ground, they are the ultimate in versatility, their uses as unlimited as your ima gination.

Summary: The mystery of Leopold Stokowski intrigued the entire world in his ninety-five year lifetime. A pioneer in the art of conducting and in the new technologies of recording, radio, and film, this master showman packed the halls and captured the hearts of rapt listeners everywhere in performances of the beloved classics and the perplexing moderns. Stokowski's fascinating life, which mirrored the conflicts of our chaotic century, is presented with insight and passion in this first large-scale study by Abram Chasins, himself a noted musician and for more than half a century a colleague and friend of the Maestro. This is the profile of a classical superstar whose accent was as phony as his dedication to music was genuine, whose loyalties to friends were as fierce as they were fleeting, whose defiance of tradition became his version of the norm. This long-awaited portrait of an elusive genius will intrigue and inspire the reader in its evocation of a vibrant man in perpetual pursuit of his lifelong dream - filling the world with luxuriant sounds., New York : Hawthorn Books, 1979, 0, London: Novello & Co Ltd, 1927.
