The most shocking crime in Northern Kentucky history is the bizarre saga of Pearl Bryan. "The citizens of Alexandria, to which Jackson and Walling were removed, are circulating a petition to Judge Helm asking that the execution be held in their town." -Richmond Kentucky Climax, March 10, 1897 Pearl Bryan was a woman who was murdered in Fort Thomas, Kentucky in 1896. Due to the murder's gruesome nature, it achieved significant notoriety nationwide. Pearl was the daughter of a wealthy farmer in Greencastle, Indiana. Her body was found, headless, just behind what is now the YMCA in Fort Thomas, Kentucky. It is falsely suggested that the neck was cut "clean" with dental tools. Her boyfriend, Scott Jackson, was a dental student and was known to carry a large surgical knife that disappeared after the murder. Pearl was five months pregnant. Cocaine, used at the time as a stimulant and analgesic, and widely available commercially, was found in her stomach. A full account of the mysterious murder known as the Fort Thomas tragedy, from beginning to end; full particulars of all detective and police investigations; dialogues of the interviews between Mayor Caldwell, Chief Deitsch and the prisoners. Read this epic murder mystery which takes place in a time when crime solvers had nothing to go on but instinct and wit, and when a murder had the potential to truly shake the entire country.

Today's moviegoers and critics generally consider some Hollywood products--even some blockbusters--to be legitimate works of art. But during the first half century of motion pictures very few Americans would have thought to call an American movie "art." Up through the 1950s, American movies were regarded as a form of popular, even lower-class, entertainment. By the 1960s and 1970s, however, viewers were regularly judging Hollywood films by artistic criteria previously applied only to high art forms. In Hollywood Highbrow, Shyon Baumann for the first time tells how social and cultural forces radically changed the public's perceptions of American movies just as those forces were radically changing the movies themselves. The development in the United States of an appreciation of film as an art was, Baumann shows, the product of large changes in Hollywood and American society as a whole. With the postwar rise of television, American movie audiences shrank dramatically and Hollywood responded by appealing to richer and more educated viewers. Around the same time, European ideas about the director as artist, an easing of censorship, and the development of art-house cinemas, film festivals, and the academic field of film studies encouraged the idea that some American movies--and not just European ones--deserved to be considered art.
