With Elvis Presley the teenage audience realised that it could now express itz own identity, even within the world of consumer culture. In the 1960 songs in which women are part of the continuing love relationship, the male is clearly the dominant figure. Elvis Presley in “It’s Now or Never” best exemplifies this theme:

It’s now or never.
Come hold me tight.
Kiss me, my darling.
Be mine tonight.
Tomorrow will be too late.
It’s now or never.
My love won’t wait.

Until 1950 the term teenagers had never before been coined. The word “teenage” had first appeared in the popular press in the 1920s, but the idea that there was a time of life between childhood and adulthood that could be isolated, and that had its own peculiar characteristics, belongs largely to the 1950s. Children were known as girls and boys were known as youths once they displayed signs of puberty. Then young people were grown up at 18 and fully adult legally at 21 when they often married and set up a home of their own, even if it was a rented room.

Teenagers in US and West Europe were becoming more independent in the type of music they preferred to listen to, no more listening to what their parents liked, teens flocked to the new music of the decade, which was rock and roll. Even though teens were able to purchase rock and roll records because they were receiving extra spending money, their parents were opposed to rock and roll music, they despised it, and thought of it as corrupting their children.

At the same time, teenagers in work found that increases in spending power and in leisure time enabled them to move to a position where they could both assert their independenee and be courted by leading representatives of entrepreneurial America. Ironically, while teenagers were more open than ever before to market influences, they were frequently hostile to the adult culture of which the market was a part.

1950′s Hollywood Stars Photos Posters – Bette Davis Portrait Photo Poster

The list of women who became stars in the 1930s and 1940s cannot be rivalled by any subsequent generation of movie stars, primarily because there are no longer such large numbers of movies made each year.

While Bette Davis, under long-term contract to Warner Brothers, often made three or four movies a year during the 1930s, a movie star in the post-1950 generation would be lucky to make one movie every two or three years. Joan Crawford, another star of the era, worked for MGM during the 1930s and made 29 movies during the decade.

Bette Davis decided to become an actress and after graduating spent some time at the Robert Milton-John Murray Anderson School of the Theater in New York. By 1930, at the age of 22, she was on her way to Hollywood under contract to Universal Studios. Once in Hollywood, the path was stormy but Davis’s determination kept her going.

Movie posters for your college dorm decor. Artwork By George Bungarda Posters – James Dean, Marilyn Monroe and other celebrities at a Hollywood Drive-In night with a scene from Gone With the Wind playing on the big screen.

While many movie theaters in small American towns closed in the 1950s, an equal number of a new kind of theater, which recognized the supremacy of the automobile in American life, opened up.

The first drive-in movie theater opened in 1933, but they mushroomed in the decade after World War II. By 1956 there were 4,200 drive-ins, earning nearly a quarter of total box-office receipts. They were promoted as “the answer to the family’s night out”; a way for married couples to avoid the expense of baby-sitters, but their real attraction was to the youth market, where teenagers could escape parental supervision.

The drive-in market encouraged a new kind of filmmaking, pioneered by Columbia producer Sam Katzman and American International Pictures (AlP). Discarding conventional formulas such as the Western, they geared their films solely for the teenage market, hooking a story on to any gimmick they could think of.

Northern Lights in Night Sky

Northern lights is an ancient astronomical phenomena. The old Nordic culture called it “spirit dance” and said the lights were reflected light from oceans of fire. Northern peoples believed that the auroras were places of the dead. With ancient beliefs about the marvelous polar auroras behind us, today’s science can understand the curtains of shining and billowing lights for the natural spectacle of energy.

The magnetosphere of the Earth emanates from the north pole, and located directly above them are magnetic sinkholes where solar winds and radiation seep into the ionosphere layer of our atmosphere. The solar winds are a continuous flow of subatomic particles from the Sun’s atmosphere that pass throughout our entire solar system. As the energy from the Sun comes in contact with the magnetosphere, the energized solar particles, mainly electrons and protons, follow the magnetic lines and get drawn to the poles.

New Yorkers are friendly but rushed (or at least they always seem to be). Policemen are quite helpful, know the city well and will be glad to assist you in any way they can. New York is a quite formal and well dressed city. Women are very clothes conscious, particularly those seen on the fashionable shopping streets. Normal meal hours follow this pattern: breakfast 8 – 10; lunch 12 – 2; dinner 6 – 8:30; or somewhat later of dinner parties or on weekend nights.

It was a fine and potentially great game that Richard Pancho Gonzales plays. He had a first-class service of great speed and good control. It was a flat first service with both a slice and “kick” variation if needed, and Gonzales could lift it effectively under the stimulus of danger. He relied largely on his net attack, volleying and smashing with tremendous aggressiveness. His overhead was reminiseent of Ellsworth Vines.

Italy held on to claim their third World Cup title with a 3 – 1 match score.
