“To the Memory of those faithful brown slave-men of the plantations throughout the South, Daddy's contemporaries all, who during the war while their masters were away fighting in a cause opposed to their emancipation, brought their blankets and slept outside their mistresses' doors, thus keeping night-watch over otherwise unprotected women and children -- a faithful guardianship of which the annals of those troublous times record no instance of betrayal.” MenChildrenWarNightFightingCausesMemoriesWatchesRecordsDoorsMastersSlaverySlaveSouthBetrayalInstanceFaithfulBrownDaddyMistressBlanketEmancipationPlantationsGuardianship Author:Ruth Stout

“A lot of actors choose parts by the scripts, but I don't trust reading the scripts that much. I try to get some friends together and read a script aloud. Sometimes I read scripts and record them and play them back to see if there's a movie. It's very evocative; it's like a first cut because you hear 'She walked to the door,' and you visualize all these things. 'She opens the door' . . . because you read the stage directions, too.” IfsTryingFirstsSometimesPlayTogetherReadingActorsRecordsCuttingDoorsStageScriptsDon't TrustStage Directions Author:Al Pacino

“I don't think that there's a target audience at all. These stories were in circulation. The stories were told by men, told in the marketplace by men, but also behind doors by women, but there's no real record of this.

It could be buried in it an old cautionary story about women and their wiles.” ThinkingMenChildrenRealStoriesRoomsBehindsWatchesAudienceRecordsDoorsNegativeRoundsTargetBuriedToilInteriorsMarketplaceCirculationTarget Audience Author:Marina Warner
