UJeremy Benton, uEllen Zolezzi noJosh Walden kwi Ngobubele .Ifoto: UCarol Rosegg Ingqondo, umgulukudu, umntu ozenza ongeyomfazi, umninimfama onobumnene, umdanisi wompompo wokuthand 'izwe, umkhuseli wobuntu wezizathu zephiko lasekunene, umculo mntwana omangalisayo UJames Cagney wayenxibe iminqwazi eyahlukeneyo kwimisebenzi yakhe emangalisayo. (Ukudlala uLon Chaney kwifilimu Indoda yamawaka aBuso, Waye wazinxiba kwiintloko ezininzi ezahlukeneyo.) Ukuba bakhe benza imovie ngobomi bakhe nefuthe lakhe kwimbali yemifanekiso eshukumayo, inkwenkwezi ekuphela kwayo eyayinokudlala uJames Cagney yayiya kuba ngu… James Cagney! Umculo omtsha we-Broadway obizwayo-yintoni enye? - Ngobubele ayisondeli ekubaliseni lonke ibali, kodwa inkwenkwezi emangalisayo ephendulwa nguRobert Creighton izisa iziqwenga zayo ebomini ngokudlamka okukhulu kunye nemincili kangangokuba izahluko zilingana njengeentsalela ezikwipatchwork quilt.
Lo mboniso uzele kukuqina, iinyawo ezijikelezayo, iingoma ezonwabisayo nezihlwele kunye nemidaniso ekufuneka uyijongile Umdlalo wokudlala Ukukholelwa kubalinganiswa abaninzi abazalisa iqonga kudlalwa ngabantu abahlanu abaxhasayo. Phantsi kolwalathiso lukaBill Castellino, ngomnyhadala womnyhadala kaJoshua Bergasse, bafana namahlokondiba anyuka aphuma kwimoto enye encinci esangqa kwiziko lesekisi; abayeki ukuza. Incwadi kaPeter Colley idibanisa izinto ezininzi zobomi bukaCagney, ukusuka ekufumaneni kwakhe ngomsila wevaudeville ngexesha loxinzelelo ngoHollywood kunye nokuphoxeka kwakhe, kwiminyaka engama-48 yobudala, esebenzisa ubusuku ngo-1978 xa umcebisi kunye nomchasi wakhe uJack L. Warner wamnika iBhaso loPhumelelo loBomi beScreen Actors Guild njengesakhelo sebali lobomi likaCagney. Uyabona imiboniso emikhulu (uCagney etshaya iidiliya kwi-Mae Clarke ebusweni, eyayingekho kwisikripthi) kwaye uve imigca ekhethiweyo (Yithi imithandazo yakho, iimagi! Kunye nePhezulu yehlabathi, Ma!). Kwaye uziva umzabalazo njengoJames Francis Cagney, mfutshane, u-Irish boy onenwele ezibomvu kunye nothanda inqina ongafuni ukunyathela ibug, waba yintshatsheli engenakulindeleka, elwa nomfanekiso womntu onzima obilisiweyo, ozama ukuhlala unyanisekile kwaye uthembekile kwaye umela ingqibelelo, ulwa nemfuno kaJack Warner yokuchwetheza eWarner Brothers. Ufuna ukuvuya xa ekugqibeleni ephuma kwi-gangster flick, ebeka phantsi umpu wakhe kwaye ephumelela i-Award ye-Academy njengoGeorge M. Cohan IYankee Doodle Dandy.
Kodwa nasemva kokuzisa uzuko kwisitudiyo, uCagney wanyanzelwa ukuba abuyele kwindima njengabaqhekezi abakhuselekileyo, ii-hoodlums kunye neebanjwa zasentolongweni ngumphathi wakhe, oboniswa njengesiqhu sokuqhuba amakhoboka, ipenny-pinching control freak eyathi izinto ezinje ngabadlali ziyinto engekhoyo. . UCagney, njengomdlali wekhontrakthi weWarner uBette Davis, akazange ahambe emfazweni. Umboniso umlandela eWashington xa iKomiti yezeNdlu engeyiyo eyaseMelika yamtyhola ngokuba liKomanisi kuba wabhala itsheki ukunceda ingxowa mali yokhuselo yaseScottsboro Boys nakwimigca engaphambili noBob Hope ukonwabisa amajoni emva kwePearl Harbour. Kwaye kukho i-coda enomdla engena kweyona nto imdanisayo-ukusilela kwenkampani yakhe yokuvelisa ukwenza i-arty, iifilimu ezinzulu uluntu ebefuna ukuzibona. Ke wabuyela ngaphezulu kwitanki lokudubula kwepetroli ngaphakathi Ubushushu obuMhlophe ujikelezwe ngamapolisa, kwaye wenza imbali.
Ufunda okuninzi malunga nendoda kunye nomculi ngaphakathi Cagney, ngoncedo lukaRobert Creighton olunokuchazwa kuphela njengokujika kweenkwenkwezi. Unokwakha okufanayo, ibunzi elifanayo, ukungqinelana kwelizwi elifanayo kunye nokubonakala kobuso. Kwaye wabhala umculo kunye namazwi kwiingoma ezinje Ndiza Kukhunjulwa Njani? Akukho bubanzi buninzi kumanqaku okanye ekumisweni kwamanani, ubukhulu becala eyinto eyenzeka ngokufihlakeleyo, kodwa xa uMnu Creighton exhumaxhuma kwaye ethepha kwaye enyuka ngendlela yakhe kwiiklasikhi zaseGeorge M. Cohan ezinje ngeNika iiRegards zam eBroadway, eHarrigan, eYankee UDoodle Dandy kwaye uyiFlegi endala, ufumana esona sifundo sikhawulezayo ngendlela yokumisa umboniso ukusukela ngoJoel Grey UGeorge M. . UCagney wayehlala enexhala lokuba angangena njani kwimbali emva kokuba ethathe umhlala-phantsi kwifama yakhe eDutchess County: Ndizakukhunjulwa njani xa beqhuba i-reel yam yokugqibela? Ababulali kunye neendawo ezimbi kunye nezithende.
Ngelishwa akazange aphile ukuze abone Ngobubele. Akamkhumbuli nganto ngaphandle kovuyo-kunye nentabalala yalo.

Ingaba imeko eyoyikisayo yemidlalo yeqonga yaseNew York iza kuphucuka njani xa amaxabiso, amaziko ahloniphekileyo anje ngee-Playwrights Horizons eqhubeka nokugweba inqwaba yeemoto ezikhohlakeleyo njengezibulalayo UAntlia Pneumatica? Isihloko sodwa kufuneka silumkise malunga nobundlobongela obulindeleyo, kodwa ukuba usisidenge ngokwaneleyo ukuba ungaya ngqo phaya, zilungiselele. Iqala ngesandi segilasi eqhoshayo. Umntu othile uxuba isiselo. Yilemonade kuphela, kodwa uyathemba ukuba iyinto eyomeleleyo, kwaye ngaphambi kokuba lo mthwalo ungathandekiyo we-gibberish ngu-Anne Washburn uphele, uya kuthandazela yona.
UKUYA Ukuphola okukhulu ebekwe kwindlu yefama ekude kufutshane neAustin, eTexas, ipalaver iqokelela iqela elahlulweyo lama-40-amaxesha athile ukubhiyozela umngcwabo womntu omdala omaziyo osenokuba uzibulele okanye angazibulali, aphelise ubomi bokudana. Akukho nto ininzi iyaziwayo malunga neentsuku zakhe zokugqibela ngaphandle kokuba wala ukujamelana nokungenakuphepheka-eshiya ngasemva izicwangciso zomyolelo, ii-epitaphs, ukhetho lwamalungiselelo okungcwatywa okanye ukutshiswa komzimba, nkqu negunya legqwetha. Endaweni yoko, washiya ngasemva uluhlu olucekeceke lwezicelo ezisemva kokufa kwakhe ezibhalwe xa Ndisifa. Kufuneka simamele nganye kuzo. Ingxoxo engenakuphikiswa yale micimbi iyaqhubeka etsala kangangeyure kunye nemizuzu engama-45 ngaphandle kokuphumla, kufakwe ukupheka okuninzi, uninzi lokukhumbula malunga neenkwenkwezi kunye neenkwenkwezi, kunye neengoma ezithile ezikruqulayo ezingakuqhubela ukuba usele. Wonke umdlali ngaphandle komnye ubiza ii-pecans I-PEE-iikoni endaweni yokugxininisa kwisilabhili yesibini. Akukho mlimi we-pecan okanye enye i-Texan eyiyo, indoda okanye ibhinqa, eya kubanjwa ifile isitsho ngaphandle kwento I-puh-KAHNS . Kwaye akukho mlawuli wokwenyani angavumela umdlali ukuba athi, I-PEE-kon, nokuba yeyiphi.
Ilizwi lomntwana offstage wolula ixesha ecula ingoma ende neyoyikeka kakhulu ngembovane. Indawo enye ebumnyameni inikezelwe ekuchongeni amaqela eenkwenkwezi, kubandakanywa nomnye kwisihloko, othiwa sisazi ngeenkwenkwezi saseFrance ngeminyaka yoo-1700. Kukho omnye umcimbi ohlekisayo kunye ongenakwenzeka ngokumalunga ne-oatmeal, kunye nebali elingaphandle malunga nomfokazi kwiibhutsi ezinodaka owafika emtshatweni womtshato watya yonke ikhekhe leponti. Ubudlelwane phakathi kwabalinganiswa bucace gca kangangokuba uphela ungazi nto ngayo nayiphi na kubo. Abantu abalilayo sele bekhulile, kodwa asazi ukuba kutheni. Umbhali akabonisi lwazi ngesantya sotshintsho uninzi lwabantu olufunda kwisemina yokubhala yokudlala yokuqala. U-Anne Washburn, igama endinethemba lokulilibala nje ukuba ndigungqise iingcungcu engqondweni yam, ubhala incoko ngathi andicingi ukuba isibhakabhaka sasebusuku siyafana ngaphandle kwevumba leenundu kunye namanyala sisitya esithunyelwe kakuhle sishushu.
Ngexesha abaye bayeke ukwenza i-coleslaw kunye ne-guacamole kunye nenkukhu eqhotsiweyo ixesha elide ngokwaneleyo ukuba balahlekelwe yibhokisi emhlophe enothuthu lomhlobo oswelekileyo, bendiphulukene nomsonto wento athetha ngayo nabani na. Iseti yikhitshi phantsi komthi we-pecan onee-pecans zokwenyani eziwela phantsi kumgangatho wokhuni, zenza ingxolo ye-kerplunk. I-Kerplunk, i-kerplunk, i-kerplunk. Abadlali-kunye namandongomane-zonke zikhokelwa nguKen Rus Schmoll (yitsho elogama amatyeli ali-10 ngaphandle komoya kwaye ufumana ibhaso) ngokuqhwalela okubambekayo okufana nemva kokubetha. Akukho namnye umdlali weqonga onamalungu amathandathu UAntlia Pneumatica igcina umdla owoneleyo ukuba ungalibaleki, kodwa u-Annie Parisse othandekayo kuphela kwakhe obiza ipecan ngokuchanekileyo.
