texts: in New York. He was the headliner of a radio series with comedian Robert Benchley as emcee. <mask> broadcast on CBS from November 20, 1938, until November 14, 1939. <mask> became increasingly disillusioned with not having time to develop new arrangements, and having to play the same pop tunes over and over. In an interview, he explained, "'Begin the Beguine' is a pretty nice tune.But not when you have to play it 500 nights in a row." Finally, in frustration, he walked off the Café Rouge bandstand while on the air, and quit the band two days later. He departed for Mexico, and the band continued without him into January but eventually broke up. After <mask> returned from Mexico in 1940, and still under contract to RCA Victor, he experimented with a group of session musicians in Hollywood, trying to combine strings and woodwinds with a jazz band. The result was the hit "Frenesi". He was hired as bandleader for the Burns and Allen Show broadcast from Hollywood. He organized a band that was modeled after his swing band concept of the late-1930s with the addition of six violins, two violas, and one cello.The addition of a string section to a big band was not novel, as it had been done by Paul Whiteman and others since the 1920s. <mask> updated the idea with the music trends of the 1940s. Strings gave him a wider tonal palette and allowed him to concentrate on ballads rather than the fast dance songs of the swing era. <mask> was at or near the top of the list of virtuoso jazz bandleaders. The band was showcased on the Burns and Allen program every week. In 1940, at the height of his popularity, the

In contrast, George Burns and Gracie Allen were each making $5,000 per week during the year that <mask> and his orchestra provided the music for their radio show.He acted on the show as a love interest for Gracie Allen. <mask>'s contract was renewed for another 13 weeks when the program was moved to New York. <mask> disliked having to be a part of the celebrity culture of the period, with its professional obligations. He told Metronome magazine: "I don't like the business of music. I'm unhappy in the music 'business.' Maybe I don't even belong in it. I like the music part, but for me the business part just plain stinks."<mask> also resented the constant pressure imposed on him by networks, agencies, publishers, and promoters. He summed up his feelings in a self-penned 1939 Saturday Evening Post article: "My job is to play music, not politics, and my only obligation is to the people who pay to listen to me. I don’t attempt to ram hackneyed, insipid tunes down the public’s throat just because they’ve been artificially hypoed to the so-called 'hit' class. This policy of trying to maintain some vestige of musical integrity has, naturally, earned me enemies, people who think I’m a longhair, impressed with my own ability. Nothing could be farther from the truth. My faith in dance music — I refuse to call it swing — borders on the fanatic. I have the utmost respect for the many real musicians who are creating a new music as important as the classics, but I have no respect for musical clowns who lead an orchestra with a baton and a quip.However, more power to

 them if they can make it pay." When <mask> told his agents that he was walking away from the big band, they warned him that he couldn't do that; he had a million dollars in contracts that had to be honored. <mask> didn't care, and responded, “Tell ‘em I’m insane. A nice, young American boy walking away from a million dollars, wouldn’t you call that insane?”

<mask> broke up the Hollywood band, keeping a nucleus of seven musicians in addition to himself, and filled out the ensemble with New York musicians until March 1941. While taking a few months' vacation in the spring of 1941 to reassess what to do next, <mask> recorded in another small-group format with three horns and a four-man rhythm section with the addition of a dozen strings. By September, he formed a big band with seven brass, five saxes, four rhythm, and fifteen strings. On December 7, three months into the tour, the 31-piece band was in the midst of a matinee performance in Providence, Rhode Island, when he was given a note about the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor.The note instructed him to tell military personnel to return to their bases. <mask> was shaken by the news, as he told interviewer Freddie Johnson in 1994: "Everything seemed to pale into insignificance, and I had to go back out on stage and announce "Star Dust" or something, and it sounded so fatuous. Here we were in the middle of a conflagration. On impulse, I went to the front row of the band where Les Robinson, first alto man, was sitting, and I said, 'Pass the word. This is two weeks' notice.' It went through the band and we played the rest of that show with a pall over

 it. Anyway, I joined the Navy."War and after

During World War II, <mask> enlisted in the United States Navy and shortly after formed a band, which served in the Pacific theater. After 18 months playing for Navy personnel, (sometimes as many as four concerts a day in battle zones, including Guadalcanal), <mask> returned to the U.S. in a state of physical exhaustion and received a medical discharge. After the war, the popularity of big bands declined, as Crooners and Bebop began to dominate the charts. <mask> credited his time in the Navy from 1942 to 1944 as a period of renewed introspection. After his discharge, he entered psychoanalysis and began to withdraw from music in favor of a writing career. His autobiography, The Trouble With Cinderella: An Outline of Identity, was published in 1952 (with later reprint editions in 1992 and 2001). Revealing downbeat elements of the music business, <mask> explained that "the trouble with Cinderella" is "nobody ever lives happily ever after."He turned to semi-autobiographical fiction with the three short novels in I Love You, I Hate You, Drop Dead! (1965, reprinted in 1997), which prompted Terry Southern's comment: "Here is a deeply probing examination of the American marital scene. I flipped over it!" <mask>'s short stories, including "Snow White in Harlem", were collected in The Best of Intentions and Other Stories (1989). He worked for years on his 1,000-page autobiographical novel, The Education of Albie Snow, but the three-volume work remained unpublished. After his discharge in 1944, he formed another band, this time what could be considered a modern big

It did not include any strings and was based in Hollywood, California, where <mask> was living.He continued to record for RCA Victor, as he had before the war, and limited the band's personal appearances to military bases in California. In August 1945, his contract with RCA ended and he signed with an independent label, Musicraft. He made a few records for Musicraft before the band broke up, and all of the recordings for Musicraft from 1946 were staffed by top-notch session musicians. The big band was back in the studio, this time including strings. On these Musicraft recordings in 1946 <mask> featured the young singer Mel Tormé. On some of the sides, Tormé was also featured with his vocal group the Meltones. In July 1954, <mask> undertook a brief Australian tour for promoter Lee Gordon on which he shared the bill with drummer Buddy Rich and vocalist Ella Fitzgerald.After completing that tour <mask> stopped playing the clarinet, citing his own perfectionism, which, he later said, would have killed him. He explained to a reporter: "In the world we live in, compulsive perfectionists finish last. You have to be Lawrence Welk or, on another level, Irving Berlin, and write the same kind of music over and over again. I'm not able to do that, and I have taken the clarinet as far as anyone can possibly go. To continue playing would be a disservice." He spent the rest of the 1950s living in Europe. In 1983, after years of prodding by Williard Alexander, the 73-year-old <mask> organized a band and selected clarinetist

It was a collection of music arranged by some of the foremost composer/arrangers of the period, much of which was sketched out by <mask> himself and filled in and completed by his orchestrator/arranger collaborators, among them Jerry Gray, William Grant Still, Lennie Hayton, Ray Conniff, Eddie Sauter, and Jimmy Mundy, among others. <mask> rehearsed his new band, (based out of Boston, Massachusetts), and the band made its official debut on New Year's Eve 1984 at the Glen Island Casino in New Rochelle, New York, the same launching pad for many bands of the swing era decades earlier, when <mask> and his bands were in their prime. <mask> appeared with the band throughout its first few years, limiting his role to being its conductor and front man, while leaving the clarinet playing duties to Johnson. In 1985, another week-long series of strenuous rehearsals followed during which <mask> added more repertoire, including many arrangements and compositions that were from the later years of his career <mask> had never recorded.

 Johnson and the band kept true to <mask>'s band spirit and vision.He would, however, show up on occasion "just to hear how things sounded". Films and television
<mask> made several musical shorts in 1939 for Vitaphone and Paramount Pictures. He portrayed himself in the Fred Astaire film, Second Chorus (1940), which featured <mask> and his orchestra playing Concerto for Clarinet, and his 1940–41 Hollywood period Star Dust band can be heard throughout the soundtrack. The film garnered him two Oscar nominations for Best Score and Best Song ("Love of My Life"). He collaborated on the love song "If It's You", sung by Tony Martin in the Marx Brothers' film The Big Store (1941). On March 2, 1950, he was the mystery guest on the fifth episode of What's My Line? and on August 31, 1952, was part of the panel.During the 1970s he made appearances on The Mike Douglas Show and The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. Many of his recordings have been used in motion pictures. His 1940 recording of "Stardust" was used in its entirety in the closing credits of the film The Man Who Fell to Earth. Martin Scorsese also used the <mask> theme song, "Nightmare", in his Academy Award-winning Howard Hughes biopic, The Aviator. Canadian filmmaker Brigitte Berman interviewed Hoagy Carmichael, Doc Cheatham, and others including <mask> for her documentary film, Bix: Ain't None of Them Play Like Him Yet (1981) about Bix Beiderbecke, and afterward she went on to create an Academy Award-winning documentary, Artie <mask>: Time Is All You've Got (1985), featuring extensive interviews with <mask>, Buddy Rich, Mel Tormé, Helen Forrest, and

The documentary ends with <mask> rehearsing his new band with co-leader Johnson present and rolls to credits perhaps quite fittingly with the band taking a final segue to <mask>'s theme song Nightmare. In 2000, filmmaker Ken Burns interviewed <mask> at his home for his PBS documentary/miniseries Jazz where <mask> appears in multiple segments.His last major interview was in 2003, when he was interviewed by Russell Davies for the BBC Television documentary, <mask> <mask> – Quest for Perfection. The documentary includes interviews with surviving members of his original bands, Johnson, and other music industry professionals. Personal life
A self-proclaimed "very difficult man", <mask> was married eight times. Two marriages were annulled; the others ended in divorce: Jane Cairns (1932–33; annulled); Margaret Allen (1934–37); actress Lana Turner (1940); Betty Kern, the daughter of songwriter Jerome Kern (1942–43); actress Ava Gardner (1945–46); Forever Amber author Kathleen Winsor (1946–48; annulled); actress Doris Dowling (1952–56), and actress Evelyn Keyes (1957–85). He had two sons, Steven Kern (with Betty Kern) and <mask> (with Doris Dowling). Both Lana Turner and Ava Gardner later described <mask> as being extremely emotionally abusive. His controlling nature and incessant verbal abuse drove Turner to have a nervous breakdown, soon after which she divorced him.In 1940, before eloping with Lana Turner, <mask> briefly dated actresses Betty Grable and Judy Garland and, according to Tom Nolan's biography, had an affair with Lena

During his self-imposed "sabbaticals" from the music business, his interests included studying advanced mathematics, as cited in Karl Sabbagh's The Riemann Hypothesis. In 1946, <mask> was present at a meeting of the Independent Citizens' Committee of the Arts, Sciences and Professions. Olivia de Havilland and Ronald Reagan, part of a core group of actors and artists who were trying to sway the organization away from Communism, presented an anti-Communist declaration which, if signed, was set to run in newspapers. There was bedlam as many rose to champion the communist cause, and <mask> began praising the democratic standards of the Soviet constitution. In 1953, <mask> was forced to testify before the House Un-American Activities Committee for his leftist activities.The committee was investigating a peace activist organization, the World Peace Council. <mask> was also a precision marksman, ranking fourth in the United States in 1962, and an expert fly fisherman. In his later years, <mask> lived and wrote in the Newbury Park section of Thousand Oaks, California. He died on December 30, 2004, aged 94. According to his publicist, he had been "in ill health for some time, but I don't know the specific cause of death." In fact, <mask> had long been suffering from diabetes.

In 1938, DownBeat magazine readers voted <mask> <mask>'s the best swing band. In response to Benny Goodman's nickname, the "King of Swing", <mask>'s fans dubbed him the "King of the Clarinet".He felt the titles should be reversed. "Benny Goodman played clarinet.

<mask> (November 26, 1933  October 30, 2007) was an American singer and actor of French-Canadian ancestry. <mask> was born and raised in Lawrence, Massachusetts. Cast as Sir Lancelot and originating the role in the 1960 Broadway musical Camelot starring opposite established Broadway stars Richard Burton and Julie Andrews, he achieved instant recognition with his performance and interpretation of the song "If Ever I Would Leave You", which became his signature song. His debut in Camelot marked the beginning of a stage, screen, and recording career. A Grammy Award and Tony Award winner, his career spanned almost six decades. Early life
<mask> was born in Lawrence, Massachusetts, on Haverhill Street, where he also lived. He was the only son of Jeanette (née Gauthier) and <mask>.Both of his parents worked in the mills, but his father was also an amateur singer and wrestler. His parents were of French Canadian ancestry, and he was a descendant of French-Canadian pioneers Zacharie Cloutier and <mask>. Shortly after his father's death, 13-year-old <mask> moved with his mother and sister Claire to Girouxville, Alberta, and he spent his formative years in Canada. After living in Girouxville for several years, they moved to the provincial capital of Edmonton to take advantage of the performance opportunities offered in the city. There, he attended the voice schools founded by Herbert G. Turner and Jean Létourneau, and later became a radio announcer for radio station CKUA. Upon graduating from Victoria Composite high school (now Victoria School of the Arts), <mask> received a scholarship to The Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto, where he studied voice with

In 1952, he competed in CBC Television's Pick The Stars, ultimately making the semifinals.This led to other network appearances on shows like Singing Stars of Tomorrow, Opportunity Knocks, Juliette, and the Canadian version of Howdy Doody in which he starred as Trapper Pierre opposite William Shatner. Rise to stardom

<mask>'s first U.S. bookings were in summer stock theatre with the Kenley Players. He appeared in eight productions, including Pajama Game (1959), Bells Are Ringing (1959), Dream Girl (1959), South Pacific (1960), Meet Me in St. Louis (1960) and Carousel (1960). John Kenley came to his dressing room after the opening of Pajama Game and gave him a raise, saying it was "because he knew he could never afford to again", <mask> said in 2006. "He was right." <mask> repeated his role in South Pacific for Kenley in a 1995 production. In 1959, <mask> was introduced to librettist Alan Jay Lerner and composer Frederick Loewe, who were having difficulty casting the role of Lancelot in their stage production Camelot.Lerner and Loewe, impressed by <mask>'s talent, signed the virtual newcomer to play the part, opposite Richard Burton (King Arthur) and Julie Andrews (Queen Guenevere). Camelot opened in Toronto in October 1960. It then played a four-week engagement in Boston, and finally opened on Broadway two months later. <mask> received favorable reviews, most notably for his show-stopping romantic ballad, "If Ever I Would Leave You" which would become his signature song. After the run of Camelot, <mask> appeared on The Danny Thomas Show and The Ed Sullivan Show, which made him a household name

 among American audiences. On December 7, 1962, <mask> made an appearance on The Jack Paar Show with Judy Garland to promote their animated film, Gay Purr-ee. He also would win a Grammy Award as Best New Artist in 1962.On May 25, 1965, <mask> mangled the lyrics to the United States National Anthem at the opening of the second Muhammad Ali-Sonny Liston heavyweight championship fight in Lewiston, Maine in front of the smallest crowd in a heavyweight championship- 2500. It was actually the last fight for Cassius Clay before he chose the name Muhammad Ali. It was supposed to have been held in Boston but there was a mix-up and Lewiston was a last minute site replacement. <mask> had never sung the US anthem in public before, the only anthem that <mask> had ever done publicly was 'O Canada!' <mask> replaced the lyric "dawn's early light" with "dawn's early night"  and also fervently intoned "gave proof through the fight." The fans booed, while Howard Cosell chortled thinking it good fun and all part of the spectacle. Now there was something to talk about besides the strange fight that ended in the first round with what has become known in the history books as the “phantom punch”.The gaffes were reported in newspapers nationwide the next morning, and <mask> was criticized in opinion columns for a lack of knowledge of the lyrics. As Dorothy Kilgallen had predicted on <mask>'s appearance on What's My Line? a few days before, the anthem lasted longer than the fight, which was over early in the first round. <mask> also had his biggest pop hit in this year, when his single "My Love, Forgive Me" reached No. 16 on the Billboard Hot 100.

His first non-singing role was in Honeymoon Hotel (1964), but it was not until a cameo appearance as "Himself", a singer in Louis Malle's film, Atlantic City (1980).

<mask> (6 September 1917 – 1 May 2008) was the second-last surviving member of the 20 July Plot, a conspiracy of Wehrmacht officers to assassinate the German dictator Adolf Hitler in 1944. Early life

Born at Burg Heimerzheim, near Bonn, he was the fifth and the second surviving son of the nine children of <mask> (Bonn 15 June 1883-Heimerzheim, Kr. Euskirchen 20 May 1956), by his wife (they married in Kassel on 22 September 1910), Maria-<mask> (1890–1968), daughter of Anton Joseph Alonsius Nepomuk Stanislaus Maria Freiherr v. Salis-Soglio (1860–1939), of Gemünden and Mandel, Kreuznach, by Maria Adelheid Theresia Gräfin von Bissingen und Nippenburg (daughter of Ernst Maria Ferdinand Adam Johann Nepomuk Joseph Graf von Bissingen-Nippenburg). He attended Aloisius Jesuit secondary school Aloisiuskolleg in Godesberg. Role in conspiracy against Hitler
When Boeselager was a 25-year-old field lieutenant, he was part of Operation Walküre, a plan developed to take control of Germany once Hitler had been assassinated. Boeselager's role in the plan was to order his troops, who were unaware of the plot, to leave the front lines in Eastern Europe and to head west, where they would be airlifted to Berlin to seize crucial parts of the city in a full-scale coup d'état after Hitler had been killed. Boeselager's opinion turned against the Nazi government in June 1942, after he received news that five Roma people had been shot in cold blood solely because of their ethnicity.Together with his commanding officer, Field Marshal Günther <mask>, he joined a conspiracy to assassinate Hitler. The first attempt was in March 1943,

 when both Hitler and Heinrich Himmler were coming to the front to participate in a strategy meeting with Kluge's troops. Boeselager was given a Walther PP with which he was to shoot both Hitler and Himmler at a dinner table in the officers' mess. However, nothing ever came of this plan because at the last minute, Himmler left Hitler's company, and the risk of leaving him alive to succeed Hitler was too great. The second assassination attempt was in summer 1944. No longer caring about Himmler, the conspiracy planned to kill Hitler with a bomb when he was attending another strategy meeting in a wooden barracks. When the assassin's bomb failed to kill the Führer, Boeselager was informed in time to turn his unexplained cavalry retreat around and return to the front before suspicions could be aroused.Because of Boeselager's fortunate timing, his involvement in the operation went undetected, and he was not executed, unlike the majority of the conspirators. <mask>'s brother Georg was also a participant in the plot, and likewise remained undetected, but was later killed in action on the Eastern Front. Shortly before the end of the war, Boeselager overheard General Wilhelm Burgdorf saying, "When the war is over, we will have to purge, after the Jews, the Catholic officers in the army". The devoutly-Catholic Boeselager noisily objected, citing his own decorations for heroism in combat. Boeselager then left before Burgdorf could respond. Postwar life
After the war, Boeselager's part in the failed attempt on Hitler's life became known. He was regarded as a hero by many in Germany and France and received the

 highest military medals that both countries could provide.He studied economics and became a forestry expert. Even in his old age, Boeselager still had nightmares about the conspiracy and the friends whom he lost during the war. He urged young people to become more involved in politics, as he felt apathy and the political inexperience of the German masses had been two of the key reasons why Hitler was able to come to power. The entrance to his residence in Kreuzberg bears the Latin motto Et si omnes ego non ("even if all, not I"). Boeselager was a member of K.D.St.V. Ripuaria Bonn, a Roman Catholic student fraternity at the University of Bonn that now belongs to the Cartellverband der katholischen deutschen Studentenverbindungen. Until his death on 1 May 2008, he still had the Walther PP pistol he was given to use to shoot Hitler.On 18 April 2008, just two weeks before his death, <mask> Boeselager gave his last videotaped interview, which was conducted by Zora Wolter for the feature documentary The Valkyrie Legacy. It was televised on The History Channel in spring 2009 to coincide with the release of the film Valkyrie, starring Tom Cruise and directed by Bryan Singer. The documentary was produced by Singer and directed by Kevin Burns. Ewald-<mask> Kleist-Schmenzin was the last survivor of the 20 July plot until his death on 8 March 2013. Marriage
Boeselager married Rosa Maria, born Gräfin <mask> zu Fürstenberg (1924 - 2014). Albrecht <mask> (born 4 October 1949, Altenahr), Grand Chancellor of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta, is their child. Honours

<mask> (October 3, 1957 – August 4, 2009) was an American screenwriter, consultant, author and educator based in Los Angeles who, through his Save the Cat trilogy of books on screenwriting and story structures, became one of the most popular writing mentors in the film industry. <mask> led international seminars and workshops for writers in various disciplines, as well as consultation sessions for some of Hollywood's largest studios. <mask> died unexpectedly August 4, 2009, of what was characterized as either a pulmonary embolism or cardiac arrest. A public memorial was held at the Writers Guild of America, West on September 29, 2009. Early life
<mask>'s father, Kenneth C. T<mask>, was an Emmy-winning TV producer of many children's shows in the 1960s and 1970s. Among them were The Funny Company, Hot Wheels, animated segments on Sesame Street, Big Blue Marble and the cult classic Roger Ramjet. At the age of eight, <mask> was hired by his father as a voice talent for an animated special starring Sterling Holloway.<mask> continued doing children's voices alongside Gary Owens, June Foray and others until his voice changed and he was fired by his producer father. <mask> went on to earn a B.A. degree in English from Georgetown University, and returned to Los Angeles where he began his career writing for the Disney TV series Kids Incorporated. <mask> began writing full-time as a screenwriter in 1987. He was a member of the Writers Guild of America for over 20 years. <mask>'s first spec screenplay sale was in 1989 for the script Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot, which sold for $500,000 in a bidding war.He went on to sell 12 more original screenplays and was named "one of Hollywood's most successful spec screenwriters". Million dollar script sales include Blank Check, co-written with Colby Carr for Walt Disney Pictures, and Nuclear Family, co-written with James Haggin for Steven Spielberg/Amblin Entertainment.

 <mask>'s nonfiction book Save the Cat! The Last Book on Screenwriting You'll Ever Need was the number one selling book among screenwriting manuals on Amazon and in 2018 is on its 34th printing. The book describes in detail the structure of the monomyth or hero's journey, providing a by-the-minute pattern for screenwriting. Title
The title Save the Cat!was coined by <mask> to describe a decisive moment when the protagonist demonstrates that they are worth rooting for. <mask> writes, "It's the scene where we [first] meet the hero", in order to gain audience favor and support for the main character right from the start. In the opening scene of the movie Frequency, for example, Frank Sullivan, played by Dennis Quaid, is a veteran firefighter who jumps into a manhole to save two workers from a gas explosion. <mask> argues that Frank's casual confidence facing danger makes him interesting to the audience. From this point, the audience is fully invested in Frank's well-being and rooting for him to succeed. According to <mask>, this crucial element is missing from many of today's movies. He referenced Lara Croft: Tomb Raider – The Cradle of Life (2003) as being a film that focused on making the character Lara Croft "cool" and sexy (via a "new latex body suit for Angelina Jolie") instead of likable.An estimated $95 million was spent on this film, and it only grossed $156.5 million worldwide ($65.6 million in the U.S.). This sequel did not lose money, but it earned considerably less than the original Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001), which grossed $274.7 million worldwide ($131.1 million in the U.S.). Premise
In his book, <mask> gave greatest emphasis on the importance of structure through his <mask> Snyder Beat Sheet or the "BS2" which includes the 15 essential "beats" or plot points that all stories should contain. <mask>'s method expanded the 15 beats further into 40 beats, which are laid out on "The Board." The Board

 is divided into 4 rows, with each row representing a quarter of the story, namely the 1st Act, the 1st half of the 2nd Act, the 2nd half of the 2nd Act, and the 3rd Act. <mask> also introduced 10 genres in his book that distinguished how stories are structured. According to <mask>, standard genre types such as Romantic Comedy, Epic or Biography did not say much about the story, only the type of movie it is.<mask>'s system explored genre more fully, with categories such as "Monster in the House", "Golden Fleece", "Buddy Love" and others. Criticism
The book has been criticized for allegedly leading to formulaic screenplays. While previous screenwriting advice was more conceptual, Save the Cat points to specific pages of the screenplay where beats should happen. Since screenplay pages are analogous to minutes of film, this has been called a minute-by-minute guide to writing a story. A New York Times article criticized a perceived Hollywood formula. But it questioned whether Save the Cat caused the trend or was inspired by it. Book series
In 2007, <mask> wrote Save the Cat!Goes to the Movies. The second book took 50 landmark movies, identified their specific genres, and broke them down into the 15 beats of the BS2. The third book of <mask>'s series, Save the Cat! Strikes Back: More Trouble for Screenwriters to Get Into... and Out Of, was published in November, 2009. This was the last book in the series to be authored by <mask> himself. The fourth book was a compilation of <mask>'s blogs and other writings on the subject of screenwriting, titled Save the Cat! <mask>'s Blogs: More Information and Inspiration for Writers, (published in 2016).The fifth book was written by his student, Spanish screenwriter and novelist Salva Rubio. It is titled Save the Cat! Goes to the Indies, was published in April 2017, and features the analysis of 50 independent, European, auteur and cult films. The sixth is the first

 non-screenwriting book, Save the Cat! Writes a Novel: The Last Book on Novel Writing That You'll Ever Need, written by student and YA novelist Jessica Brody (published on October 9, 2018). Software
As a companion to his books, <mask> developed a story structure software product called Save the Cat! The Last Story Structure Software You'll Ever Need.The software places <mask>'s Beat Sheet and Board on an end user's desktop, phone, or tablet. In 2008, <mask> and the software company Final Draft, Inc. specializing in script formatting, became partners in building import/export functions between the two programs. <mask>'s company, Blake Snyder Enterprises, LLC, released an iPhone app of the software in November, 2009 and an Android app in 2016. Version 4 of the software and apps, which includes new templates for novelists and television writers, was released in the fourth quarter of 2018. Workshops and consultations
<mask> developed two weekend workshops for writers, filmmakers and executives. The introductory class, The Beat Sheet Workshop, helped participants come up with the solid structure of the 15 beats, before they embark on the actual writing of the script. In addition, The Beat Sheet Workshop was expanded to be led internationally.The second workshop, a continuation of the first, called The Board Workshop, had participants take their 15 beats and expand them into 40 cards for a more detailed story structure. <mask> held his workshops all over the United States, Europe and Asia. The workshops were run year round. <mask> also taught his method in such universities as UCLA, Chapman University, Vanderbilt University and the Beijing Film Academy. The in-person Beat Sheet Workshops continue, taught by "Master Cats" who were mentored by <mask>. The Beat Sheet Workshops expanded with online courses in 2017. Following the release of his first book, <mask> provided script analysis to studios such as Disney,

<mask>  (born 1 October 1969) is a former Australian rules footballer of Aboriginal descent who became a spokesperson for Indigenous rights and against racism in sport. Early career
Despite being drafted to the VFL, the West Torrens Football Club of the Adelaide-based SANFL argued that <mask> was "contracted with the club and could not play anywhere else." Noel Judkins said, "I was guaranteed this wasn't the case, so I took the contract to Darwin and met with <mask>'s father Jack and he was irate. He grabbed it and wrote the word 'bullshit' right across the front of it. When it became clear he wanted to play at Essendon, West Torrens agreed it wasn't a binding contract." However, despite this, <mask> did play for West Torrens during the 1988 SANFL season, winning the club's best and fairest award, the third-last player to do so as the Eagles merged with the Woodville Football Club following the 1990 season to become the Woodville-West Torrens Eagles. Australian Football League career
<mask> played perhaps the best game of his career in the 1993 AFL Grand Final.Playing on Mark Athorn, <mask> ran amok, helping Essendon gain a healthy quarter-time lead, and to maintain it. By the end of the game, he had amassed 20 kicks and 13 handballs, totalling 33 possessions. <mask>'s performance was rewarded with the Norm Smith Medal, which was presented to him by fellow Tiwi Islander Maurice Rioli. In the pre-season of 1994 in a practice match against the West Coast Eagles, <mask> injured his knee which required 12 months of solid rehabilitation, and he was not seen for the entire 1994 AFL Home and Away season. In 1995, <mask> made a triumphant return to AFL football and played almost a full season. In the Anzac Day match between Essendon and Collingwood at the MCG, <mask> claimed to have been racially taunted by Collingwood's ruckman, Damian Monkhorst. The AFL arranged a mediation session between <mask> and Monkhorst, and, although <mask> was clearly unsatisfied by the short-term outcome of this meeting, the long-term result was that it set a precedent; consequently, since this

 incident, there have only been three widely publicised accusations of racial taunts on the AFL field in the proceeding 25 years.For the next two seasons, <mask> needed knee surgery and only took the field seven times. He missed the first half of 1998 recovering from the surgery but finished the year strongly, playing in nine games. According to the Round 3 AFL Record of 1999, between the beginning of the 1994 and end of the 1998 seasons, <mask> played only 38 of a possible 119 games. <mask> is renowned for his sharp wit. In an incident recalled by <mask>'s coach, Kevin Sheedy, there was a fundraiser to reconstruct Windy Hill that was underway, and Sheedy was conducting a serious training session in front of a whiteboard and 200 people, mostly money donors. He paused to ask if anyone had a question. To the surprise of all that knew him, <mask>, who apparently hadn't spoken up during a training session in five years, raised his hand, causing people to fall silent to hear <mask> speak.<mask> asked, "What was wrong with the blackboard?" <mask> had the honour of kicking the first-ever goal at the new Docklands Stadium when it opened in 2000. He was also a member of Essendon's record-breaking premiership team in 2000 which saw only one loss for the entire season. <mask> faced heavy scrutiny for his bump on Troy Simmonds, which rendered Simmonds unconscious and raised the possibility of him losing mobility, which thankfully never eventuated. However, this incident inspired the AFL to introduce new rules protecting players with their heads over the ball. <mask> was suspended for this incident. 2001 was <mask>'s final season, and although Essendon made the Grand Final that year, <mask>lelland Trophy (): 1989, 1990, 1993, 1999, 2000, 2001

Post-football

Following his retirement, <mask> became a spokesman for Indigenous Australians. He was a critic of then-Prime Minister John Howard's policies towards Indigenous Australians—most notably Howard's refusal to make an apology to the Stolen Generation. In a letter published in Melbourne's The Age, <mask> likened Howard to "those cold-hearted pricks" who stole his parents. His political activities culminated in a protest march from Melbourne to Canberra, leaving on 21 November 2004. The aim of the walk was to obtain a meeting with the Prime Minister. After ten days of intense media scrutiny of the walk, the Prime Minister eventually granted <mask> a meeting, at which point <mask> called an end to the walk, having completed about 325 km of the planned 650 km walk. He later said: "I wanted to make a change.It was about challenging the government about some of the issues Aboriginal people were facing and still face – education, employment, health, housing, the Stolen Generations." The walk became known as The Long Walk, and the tradition of a commemorative community walk in Melbourne has continued, with thousands turning out for the event. The walk takes places in late May or early June before the Dreamtime game, starting at Federation Square and ending at the MCG. <mask> is patron of The Long Walk, an organisation inspired by his walk and which works for the health and well-being of Indigenous Australians. In 2006, he was charged with assaulting a man at a football club function in Darwin. He pleaded guilty when the case came to trial in 2009, saying that he had struck a man who had attacked his sister. No conviction was recorded, with the magistrate saying that he was unlikely to re-offend.In July 2011, <mask> signed up as ambassador for weight-loss agency Jenny Craig, partly to highlight indigenous health. Weighing 112 kg, 30 kg more than his playing weight, his aim was to drop at least 10 kg in

 around 10 weeks. In 2015, he became board member of the newly founded Michael Long Foundation (MLF), and in 2016 the <mask> Learning and Leadership Centre (MLLLC) opened in Darwin. MLF funds education and football programs for indigenous people, and the MLLLC, funded by the federal government and managed by the Australian Football League Northern Territory (AFLNT), aims to nurture talent and improve lives and communities. In 2018, he was treated for a life-threatening infectious disease, melioidosis, in a hospital in Darwin; however, this did not stop him from announcing plans for a second Long Walk, as he was honoured for the Sir Doug Nicholls round at Dreamtime at the 'G in May 2019. <mask> was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia in the 2021 Queen's Birthday Honours, for "service to Australian rules football, and to the Indigenous community".

In 2002, an Essendon panel ranked him at 23 in their Champions of Essendon list of the 25 greatest players ever to have played for Essendon.Notes

 The emails were used as the basis for allegations that <mask> had used her role as an ambassador for Athletics Australia to organise a trip to Australia for Boldon as part of the "Jump Start to London" athletics program, during which she intended to engage in an affair with the athlete.

<mask> (1852–1931) was an American socialist activist and newspaper publisher. Originally a Baptist minister before becoming a medical doctor, <mask> is best remembered as a factional leader of the Washington state affiliate of the Socialist Party of America (SPA) during the first decade of the 20th century and as editor of The Socialist, one of the most-widely circulated radical newspapers of that period. <mask> led a party split from the Socialist Party of Washington in 1909 and helped found a short-lived organization called the Wage Workers Party. His paper failed with that organization and he died in self-chosen obscurity in New York City, a medical doctor working in a low paying service job. Biography

Early years

<mask><mask> was born in January 1852 in Pepperell, Massachusetts, the son of <mask> and <mask>. As a boy Hermon worked on a farm, in a butcher shop, and in a paper mill, all the while attending school. In 1864, in the midst of the American Civil War, the 12-year-old Hermon attempted to run away and enlist, but his father successfully tracked him down and returned him home.<mask> studied at Eastman's Business College in 1867, thereafter taking a job as a bookkeeper and clerk in a dry goods store in New York City, studying at night so that he could attend college. <mask> was an 1873 graduate of Madison University and of its theological seminary in 1876. After graduating the seminary, <mask> had spent over a decade as a Baptist preacher in Ithaca, New York and Newton, Massachusetts before leaving the church owing to feelings that it did not adequately represent the teachings of Jesus. Thereafter, <mask> decided to become a medical doctor, enrolling in Harvard Medical School, from which he graduated in 1890. Upon graduation, <mask> practiced medicine for two years in Newton  before taking a job as a company doctor for the Great Northern Railway which brought him to Seattle in 1893, where he continued to work as a medical practitioner for the rest of the decade. <mask> was married and his wife, Hattie,

 worked as the manager of a small Seattle hotel that was widely used by radical speakers during their stops while making speaking tours of the Pacific Northwest. The pair would eventually separate with "Mother" <mask> remaining in town after her former husband's departure as a venerated member of Seattle's radical community.Political career

Toward the end of the 1890s, <mask> was exposed to the ideas of Laurence Gronlund through the Fabian Society of Seattle and began to take an active interest in the ideas of municipal reform. <mask> helped to draft a new city charter for Seattle and formed a Citizens' Non-Partisan League in 1900 to attempt to end the monopoly power wielded by the Seattle Electric Company. It was around this time that <mask> was exposed to Marxist ideas for the first time. He became involved in a strike of Seattle telephone operators, attempting to win support for a proposed general strike from the Western Central Labor Union, but without success. The candidacy of radical trade union organizer Eugene V. Debs for President of the United States in 1900 on the ticket of the Social Democratic Party of America inspired <mask> and brought him to the next chapter of his diverse life story. After becoming the State Organizer of the Social Democratic Party of Washington in the summer of 1900, <mask> launched Seattle's first explicitly socialist weekly newspaper on August 12 under the simple and direct title The Socialist. A total of 500 tabloid-sized copies were printed at a cost of $13.The first editorial office of the publication was the basement of Social Democratic Party headquarters, located at 220 Union Street in Seattle. <mask> also stood for office himself in the fall of 1900, running on the Social Democratic Party's ticket for U.S. Congressman. Although initially conceived as a temporary publication associated with the needs of  the Debs campaign, <mask> soon came to see his new newspaper as a more permanent vehicle. <mask> emerged as an aggressive opponent of the neo-Populist agrarian-oriented

texts: socialism touted by J.A. Wayland and his newspaper, The Appeal to Reason and thereby emerged as a leading national voice for a more assertive "proletarian" orientation. Young enthusiasts gathered around <mask> and his newspaper, with <mask> continuing to play the role of leader of the SPW's "Red faction" until about 1909.<mask> <mask>'s second plunge into electoral politics came in the fall of 1901, when he and his party comrade John T. Oldman, ran for three year terms as directors on the King County Board of Education in Seattle. Together the pair received about 25 percent of the vote in a losing effort. <mask> ran in the December 1901 party election to be the SPW's National Committeeman, delegate to an annual governing convention. He was defeated in a seven-person race by just 3 votes by George Boomer — with an additional 8 votes for <mask> from Local Tacoma arriving in the mail just after the deadline for counting. In the fall election of 1902, <mask> stood as the Socialist Party's candidate for Washington State Senate in the state's 36th Electoral District. As a leader in the Socialist Party of Washington, <mask> was regarded by some as a "dogmatic, dictatorial" personality, albeit with considerable intelligence and speaking skill. <mask> regularly attacked those whom he deemed insufficiently stalwart in their commitment to revolutionary socialism, running on his front page the fire-breathing 1903 platform of Local Seattle next to the civic reform-oriented platform of Local Spokane under the headings "As Much Socialism as Possible" and "As Little Socialism as Possible," respectively and leading the charge to suspend and reorganize the local.Public ridicule of this sort at the expense of erstwhile comrades did little to advance the goal of a united Socialist Party of Washington. To his supporters, on the other hand, <mask>'s unflinching salvos at the temporizing half-measures of others were red meat for the faithful. Local Seattle was deeply divided between radical and moderate faction, with some branches, such as

texts: Titus's Pike Street Branch, dominated by the left wing, while others, such as the Finnish branch and (after 1903) Central Branch, were firmly on the side of the centrist forces which had steadily come to dominate the national Socialist Party. Pike Street Branch included radical true-believers such as Alfred Wagenknecht (future head of the Communist Labor Party), Elmer Allison (future editor of the Communist Party weekly, The Toiler), and Emil Herman (a political prisoner during World War I and Socialist Party organizer after his release). The Branch dedicated itself to attempts at winning over the working class to the socialist cause through soapbox speaking and public meetings — activities which frequently brought it into conflict with civic authorities. The moderate wing of the party, on the other hand, sought to build an electoral organization of broad popular appeal, in the hopes of winning political power through the ballot box and initiating a series of fundamental political reforms. These differing orientations, combined with <mask>'s pugnacious use of his newspaper as a tool for factional warfare, kept the Washington Socialist Party in a state of nearly perpetual internecine warfare.Despite a healthy national circulation of about 7,000, The Socialist consistently ran at a deficit — money made good by <mask> and a handful of his closest supporters. Effective with its June 26, 1904 issue, The Socialist abruptly shifted from a heavily illustrated 4-page formate to a sparse 2-page sheet, running a headline on the front entitled "Shall The Socialist Live or Die?" This article noted that while the publication had been basically covering its expenses over a period of several months, for the past two months the publication had suddenly begun running at a deficit of $100 per month, an amount deemed unsustainable by the 35 members of the "Socialist Educational Union" headed by <mask> <mask> back of the publication. After a year of financial struggle, marked by an experimental change of the publication's name to Next

texts: and an attempt at making it a newspaper targeted to the broad public rather than limited to active Socialist Party members, the decision was made to revive the old name and to move The Socialist to Toledo, Ohio, effective in September 1904. This more central geographic location would give the newspaper a better chance for a wide national readership, it was hoped. <mask> further expanded the paper's cachet by adding former National Executive Secretary of the Socialist Party William Mailly to the editorial staff. The paper continued to cover the activities of the Socialist Party of Washington in its pages each week, coverage written by correspondents.In 1905 the moderate faction which dominated Central Branch of Local Seattle launched a referendum vote on new bylaws for the city which would have the effect of eliminating the existing branches in favor of a single organization broken down by electoral districts, with Local Seattle immediately taking possession of all assets belonging to its various branches. This proposal was regarded as a direct assault on the left-wing Pike Street Branch and was bitterly fought by <mask> and his associates, which actively campaigned for defeat of the proposal. Part of this effort by <mask> included an attempt to get members who had already hastily voted in favor of the measure to retract their votes. When the Seattle City Central Committee refused to provide adequate ballots for this purpose to the Pike Street Branch, <mask> had small forms printed declaring the intention of the signatory to vote against the proposal. This provoked <mask>'s enemies in Central Branch of Local Seattle to prefer charges against <mask> and the Pike Street Branch for election fraud for this and other smaller technical matters. When <mask> was cleared of these charges at a meeting of the full Seattle City Central Committee, a heated gathering which lasted 7 hours, Central Branch launched a statewide referendum vote against <mask>. This vote closed on June 1, 1905, and exonerated <mask> by a vote of

 4-to-1.Of the 41 votes cast against <mask> in the state, fully 35 came from Seattle Central Branch. A further move of the paper brought it to Caldwell, Idaho, before finally returning to Seattle later in the decade. Later years

In July 1909, outmaneuvered and outnumbered at the State Convention of the Socialist Party of Washington, <mask> led the left-wing delegates out of the meeting hall to hold their own parallel convention and to elect their own officers, with a view to holding a referendum of Washington Socialists as to which of the dual State Committees was legitimate. The National Executive Committee of the Socialist Party of America intervened however, declaring the actions of the dissident radicals unconstitutional and recognizing the moderate-dominated regular convention. Locked out of the Socialist Party, the left-wing dissidents decided against joining the existing Socialist Labor Party of America, instead seeking to build a new political organization from the ground up — a group called the Wage Workers Party (WWP). Future Communist Party leader William Z<mask> played a leading role in this organization and later recalled it in his memoirs.In connection with this change of status, <mask> renamed his weekly The Workingman's Paper. The new organization was virtually stillborn, however, dissipating and dead by 1910. <mask>'s newspaper died with the new group, many of whom went on to join the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW). <mask> was broken as an effective leader of Washington state's radicals by the loss of his paper. Death and legacy

In his later years the former Baptist preacher and medical doctor moved to New York City, where he worked in the wintertime as the uniformed doorman of a posh hotel. During the summer <mask> returned to his roots as a physician, practicing medicine in upstate New York. <mask> produced one more political work before his death, a small and poorly circulated political pamphlet which came off the press in 1922 calling for unity between communists, socialists, and

Instructor of Sculpture at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts for 37 years, his students included Paul Manship, Albin Polasek, and Walker Hancock. He created heroic sculpture for international expositions and war memorials, but also was noted for his small bronzes and portrait busts. His work is in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the National Gallery of Art, the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the National Portrait Gallery, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the National Academy of Design, the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, and other museums. <mask> was born in the Chestnut Hill section of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the youngest of the 8 children of <mask> and Elizabeth (Simmons<mask>. His family were Quaker farmers, and of German and Dutch heritage. He attended Philadelphia public schools, and developed an interest in art at an early age.At 17 he apprenticed himself to John Struthers & Sons Marble Works, at that time one of the largest stone carving ventures in the country. He spent four years carving ornament and figures for Philadelphia City Hall, under the direction of sculptor Alexander Milne Calder. To improve his understanding of anatomy and his skill at carving figures, he began attending night classes at the Spring Garden Institute. He studied under Thomas Eakins at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts beginning in 1884, and followed Eakins to the Art Students' League of Philadelphia in 1886. He returned to PAFA the

 following year, and studied under Thomas Anshutz. Grafly moved to Paris in 1888, where he studied for a year at the Académie Julian—drawing under Tony Robert-Fleury, painting under William-Adolphe Bouguereau, and sculpture under Henri Chapu. He shared a flat with fellow American art students Robert Henri, Harry Finney, William Hoefeker, and James Randolph Fisher.In 1889 he gained admittance to the École des Beaux Arts, but only stayed one year. He exhibited two ideal busts, Saint John and Daedalus at the Paris Salon of 1890. He exhibited his first major work, a life-size female nude, Mauvais Presage, at the Salon of 1891, which received an Honorable Mention. It is now at the Detroit Institute of Arts. Career

The death of his father brought <mask> back to Philadelphia in early 1892, and he began teaching at the Drexel Institute and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. PAFA created the position of "Instructor of Sculpture" for <mask>, and under him the sculpture department was put "on an equal footing with painting for the first time". He took a one-year sabbatical in 1895, to get married and create what he hoped would be his masterpiece.In Paris, he began work on The Vulture of War, a nightmarish sculpture group depicting carnage and death. It quickly evolved from a two-figure work to a three-figure work, and ultimately a four-figure work. These consisted of the colossal figure of War; who wields the uncomprehending Man as a weapon (swings him like a scythe); a lifeless woman (Death and Destruction); and the sinister figure of

A heroic-sized plaster of the plunderer was exhibited at PAFA's 1898 annual exhibition, and was part of Grafly's gold medal-winning exhibit at the 1900 Exposition Universelle in Paris.The plaster was also part of <mask>'s exhibit at the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition in St. Louis, but he abandoned it there rather than paying the freight fees to ship it back to Philadelphia. <mask> was commissioned in 1898 to create two colossal busts for the Smith Memorial Arch, a Civil War monument in Fairmount Park, Philadelphia. Following sculptor William Ordway Partridge's withdrawal, <mask> also created the memorial's 15-foot (4.6 m) statue of General John F. Reynolds. Expositions

Fountain of Man
<mask> and architect <mask> Arnold were commissioned to create a fountain for the 1901 Pan-American Exposition, in Buffalo, New York. The Fountain of Man was crowned by an eerie half-hooded central figure, Man, the Mysterious, with faces on the front and back of his head representing the two natures of Man. Supporting the fountain's upper basin were nude figures representing the 5 senses, and supporting the lower basin were four pairs of crouching male and female atlantes, each couple representing contrasting emotions— love and hate, ambition and

While the sculptural decorations of that most charming of fairs were as a rule well suited to their purpose, and contributed much to its beauty, there were few features of striking originality. The one which stands out in memory as of permanent value, as a lasting contribution to the art of this country, is Mr. Grafly's "Fountain of Man". Louisiana Purchase Exposition

Grafly served as a member of the Art Jury for the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition in St. Louis, Missouri, and designed the medal that was awarded to winning artists. Following sculptor John Quincy Adams Ward's withdrawal, Grafly created a heroic-size seated figure of Thomas Jefferson for the Cascade Garden. His Vérité (Truth) was carved in marble, and installed in a niche flanking the main entrance to the Palace of Fine Arts (now the Saint Louis Art Museum). His sculpture group, Electricity, was installed over an entrance to the Palace of Electricity.Pioneer Mother Monument
