On Sunday, August 12th, Nine Queens College Lifelong Learning Institute students joined me at the Paley Center For Media, in Manhattan, for the first Queens College Lifelong Learning Institute Field Trip. Our goal was to see the 1953 Goodyear Playhouse television broadcast of Horton Foote’s A Trip To Bountiful, starring Lillian Gish and Eva Marie Saint (one year before she made her feature film debut in On The Waterfront). We received a nice welcome from both the museum’s Manager of Group Services and the Executive Curator. This presentation of the “Bountiful” is part of a series of Foote broadcasts which will be shown in the museum’s Concourse, spacious theatre, and is a companion piece to an Off-Broadway Horton Foote revival about to open soon. Since we were a group, it was nice to get the special group discount: $5.00 admission, instead of the usual $10. Also, since I will be teaching a course on the Golden Age of Television at both Queens College in the Fall, and a more expansive course at 92nd Street Y Tribeca in the Winter, I have been invited to bring students for additional group screenings of broadcasts. Since most of the museum’s collection has been digitized, we choose a broadcast, and it will be booted up to the Museum’s theatre on the sixth floor, which seats 40. Later in the day, we all got together for a nice lunch at Burger Heaven. Afterwards, some of us parted company, but a few of us returned to the museum, to partake in the over 200,000 broadcasts in the Paley museum’s collection. Three of our group opted for Seinfeld. I opted for the 1954 General Foods Tribute to Rodgers and Hammerstein. Overall, a nice start to the future of Queens College Lifelong Learning Field Trips.
