Archives and History Thursday Lecture: "An American in Madras"
November 05, 2015
— Charleston, Kanawha
On Thursday November 5, 2015, Karan Bali will present “An American In Madras.” The program will begin at 6:00 p.m. and is free and open to the public.
Bali will provide introductory comments and show his documentary film on former Wheeling resident Ellis Dungan, An American in Madras. “Ellis Dungan’s fascinating story was one just waiting to be told,” according to Bali. “I’m surprised no one else did it earlier but I’m glad I could make this film and bring to light, however belated, the efforts and achievements of a true pioneer of the Tamil (and Indian) film industry.” The film shows an aspect of Dungan’s career that is unknown to most West Virginians, who would know his name mostly as a producer of regional documentary films.
Ellis Dungan was born in 1909 in Barton, Ohio, and studied at the University of Southern California before going to India in 1935. He stayed there for 15 years and made a name for himself in the Tamil film industry in South India, helping it in its developing years. In 1958, Dungan moved to Wheeling, where he produced and directed industrial, business, and public relations films through Ellis Dungan Productions. His regional films include Wild Wonderful West Virginia, Time’s Runnin’ Out, and High Speed Steel. He was also instrumental in producing For Liberty and Union, a film about West Virginia statehood which is shown daily at West Virginia Independence Hall, and Wheels to Progress, a film about Wheeling in 1959. Dungan lived in Wheeling until his death in 2001.
Indian filmmaker Karan Bali is a 1993 graduate of the Film and Television Institute of India. He became interested in the early history of cinema produced in the Tamil region of India and realized the contribution Ellis Dungan had made to change the nature of Tamil films. Through reading Ellis Dungan’s A Guide to Adventure: An Autobiography which he co-authored with Wheeling author Barbara Smik, Bali discovered that Dungan had given his collection of films, photographs, and papers to West Virginia Archives and History, where Bali found many of the materials he needed for his documentary. Bali has shown An American in Madras at many film festivals in India, as well as in London, New York, Seattle, and Wheeling. Karan Bali currently is working on a documentary on Byculla, a neighborhood in Bombay that at one time was a melting pot of Europeans, Anglo-Indians, Jews, Hindus, and other groups.
Due to construction at the State Capitol Complex, lectures attendees may park in the governor’s parking lot for the November 5 lecture and enter the Culture Center at the front of the building. The governor’s parking lot is on the south side of the Culture Center on Greenbrier Street across from Virginia Street.

Eric Douglas is a writer, author and photographer. He received a degree in Journalism from Marshall University.

Archives and History Tuesday Lecture: Honoring West Virginia Veterans
November 10, 2015
— Charleston, Kanawha
On Tuesday, November 10, 2015, Pat McClure will present “Honoring West Virginia Veterans: Students Write History” in the Archives and History Library of the Culture Center in Charleston. The program will begin at 6:00 p.m. and is free and open to the public.
This presentation will feature Advanced Placement History students from George Washington High School. They will present their findings from a semester-long project in which they researched and wrote a biography about a West Virginia World War II veteran. History teacher Kathy Bush chose this method to teach her students about the WWII era. As a result students researched not only their veteran, who is listed on the West Virginia Veterans Memorial, but also the environment in which the soldier lived before registering for the service.
The project was coordinated by Pat McClure, volunteer at West Virginia Archives and History. She holds degrees from Baldwin Wallace University, Ohio University, and the West Virginia College of Graduate Studies. A former college professor, Pat has worked as a writer and editor since her retirement. Most recently, she has researched, written, and edited a number of biographies of veterans whose names are carved on the West Virginia Veterans Memorial. With more than 10,000 names on the memorial, she views this as a lifetime commitment.
On November 10, the library will close at 5:00 p.m. and reopen at 5:45 p.m. for participants only. Lecture attendees may park behind the Culture Center after 5:00 p.m. on November 10 and enter the building at the back.

Leonids Meteor Shower
November 17, 2015 to November 18, 2015
The Leonids is an average shower, producing an average of up to 15 meteors per hour at its peak. This shower is unique in that it has a cyclonic peak about every 33 years where hundreds of meteors per hour can be seen. That last of these occurred in 2001. The Leonids is produced by dust grains left behind by comet Tempel-Tuttle, which was discovered in 1865. The shower runs annually from November 6-30. It peaks this year on the night of the 17th and morning of the 18th. The first quarter moon will set shortly after midnight leaving fairly dark skies for what could be a good show. Best viewing will be from a dark location after midnight. Meteors will radiate from the constellation Leo, but can appear anywhere in the sky.

On November 19, the program will focus on knowing real Rosies. Three Rosies are expected to tell their stories, and a photographic summary of all projects done in West Virginia with the help of Rosies will be available. In addition, parts of the documentary film sponsored by Thanks! Plain and Simple, “We Pull Together,” Rosie the Riveters Then and Now, which features 31 West Virginia Rosies, will be shown.
