SUMMARY:Second Sunday: Movie Media and the Metro
DESCRIPTION:Did you know Omaha was once a huge force in the Hollywood film industry? \nFEPCO and Modern Sound Pictures…names once common in the film industry that are now lost to time. For a large portion of the 20th century\, these Omaha-based companies dominated the industry that produced “movie papers\,” which was everything needed to successfully promote a Hollywood production. Both of these companies were early pioneers in their respective corners of the market\, and both were confronted by industry challenges including fickle audiences and evolving technology. What happened to these homegrown Hollywood titans? \nIn their talk Movie Media and the Metro\, Kelli Bello\, Firehouse Letterpress archivist\, will explain how Omaha became known as a major distribution hub of Hollywood film and promotional materials from the 1920s-1980s. She’ll share pieces from the shop’s extensive collection of vintage film and projection equipment\, press kits\, posters\, and letterpress advertising blocks. Shop owner Larry Richling will discuss how he managed to acquire such a rare collection and his plans to share it with the world. \nKelli Bello is the current Community Outreach Coordinator for Douglas County Historical Society. Prior to joining DCHS\, she spent 18 months learning the lost art of letterpress printing utilizing the film advertising blocks and antique printing presses in the Firehouse Letterpress collection. It was her personal connection to these pieces that led her to dig deeper into their origin. In her research\, a fascinating story with dynamic local characters unfolded. Prior to joining DCHS and the Firehouse Letterpress\, Kelli worked in non-profit development for Special Olympics Nebraska and the Joslyn Castle and Gardens\, where she currently serves on the board of directors. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Journalism from San Diego State University. She is originally from California\, but Kelli\, her husband Brian\, and their three daughters now call Omaha home. \nLarry Richling is the owner of the Firehouse Letterpress\, which was recently relocated to historic downtown Council Bluffs from the basement of Hollywood Candy. Larry grew up in Omaha\, and has been a life-long collector. He started his collecting with an interest in Pez candy dispensers….and now is the owner of thousands of the little machines. He is also a fan of vintage soda fountain and circus equipment and ephemera\, as well as all things Hollywood-related. He recently sold Hollywood Candy\, which he founded and owned for 13 years\, and is now focusing on his next dream of owning a vintage letterpress print shop. This allows him to share his massive collection of Hollywood advertising blocks and equipment with the public. Of course\, also in Firehouse Letterpress resides a soda fountain and a movie theater. Larry and his wife Mary recently moved to Council Bluffs\, and enjoy their winters at their home in Florida. \nSeptember 11 at 2:00 p.m. \nGross Auditorium at College of Saint Mary \nThis installment of Second Sunday is presented FREE to the public\, thanks to underwriting provided by the Dr. C.C. and Mabel Criss Memorial Foundation and Humanities Nebraska! \nCall 402-455-9990 x102 for reservations or email admin@douglascohistory.org \n

SUMMARY:Second Sunday: Omaha/Council Bluffs - The Steel Ties that Bind
DESCRIPTION:Note: The October presentation will be presented on the FIRST Sunday of the month.  \nOne single incident can change everything. 160 years ago the most significant thing to ever impact Omaha occurred: Abraham Lincoln issued an executive order designating Council Bluffs as eastern terminus of the transcontinental railroad. Council Bluffs? But why then were the first tracks\, headquarters\, and shops in Omaha? It’s a great story with sufficient skullduggery to make the activities of Bernie Madoff and Enron look pious by comparison\, and the two cities have been bound together by steel rails ever since. This program explains how the East ended… and where the West didn’t began. \nRICHARD WARNER serves as president of Preserve Council Bluffs\, an officer of the Historical Society of Pottawattamie County and vice-president of the Pottawattamie County Genealogical Society.  He has edited the Historical Society’s member publication for over thirty-five years\, co-authored four books about local history\, and written over a hundred articles on the subject.  Dr. Warner hosts the podcast “Accidentally Historic\,” produces the local history YouTube channel “Council Bluffs Revealed\,” and is an Iowa Governor’s Volunteer award recipient.  He is a graduate of Abraham Lincoln High School in Council Bluffs\, Creighton University (BS\, DDS) and UNO (MA). \nOctober 2 at 2:00 p.m. \nGross Auditorium at College of Saint Mary \nFree to DCHS members; $5 for non-members \nCall 402-455-9990 x102 for reservations or email admin@douglascohistory.org
