The UA Archive Ensemble will feature a concert
accompanying the 1955 film "Teenage Devil Dolls"
Crowder Hall, UA School of Music Building
1017 N. Olive Road
Info: Under the direction of Keith Pawlak, ensemble will
be behind the screen performing Robert Drasnin’s
score to the film “Teenage Devil Dolls.” The
performance will also feature narration by the
School of Theatre Arts faculty artist Monte Ralstin.
Following the concert will be a discussion
with the composer.
FOR ONLINE ONLY: The 60-minute feature was a
1956 "Look Magazine"
intercollegiate award winner for best college-made
film of the year. It
was written, produced and directed by Bamlet L.
Price, Jr., for a master’s
thesis at U.C.L.A. in 1955. Price, who also acted in
the film, hired a fellow
graduate student, Robert Drasnin, to write the
score to the picture. The
score is being presented for the first time from
manuscripts housed in
the UA School of Music’s jazz and popular music
archive.
"Teenage Devil Dolls" tells the story of a young girl
whose life spirals
out-of-control through drug-induced juvenile
delinquency. The plot
follows in the path of the exploitation films of the
1930s and 1940s –
most notably via parallels to the marijuana classic
"Reefer Madness." The
film, which was originally released as "One Way
Ticket to Hell," was re-
titled for home video and late-night TV viewing in
the 1980s.
The UA School of Music’s jazz and popular music
archive holds several
prominent American music collections, including
Artie Shaw, Les Baxter,
Nelson Riddle, Paul Horn, Robert Drasnin, Paul
Weston and Jo Stafford.
