Американский актёр-ребёнок (1920–1980)
Аллен Клейтон Хоскинс (9 августа 1920 – 26 июля 1980) – американский актёр-ребёнок, исполнивший роль Фарины в 105 короткометражных фильмах "Наша банда" с 1922 по 1931 год.
После нашей банды: вадевиль и другие работы
После того, как Хоскинс стал слишком стар для своей роли, в 1931 году он вернулся в Roach Studios для нескольких эпизодических появлений, но не был выбран для долгосрочного участия. Ему дали эпизодическую роль в необычном короткометражном фильме под названием «Украденные драгоценности». И «Наша банда», и «Лорел и Харди» внесли свой вклад в удивительный фильм под названием «Украденные драгоценности» – короткометражный фильм, в котором снялись такие звезды, как Джоан Кроуфорд, Гэри Купер, Бастер Китон, Морис Шевалье и около пятидесяти других. Это был благотворительный двухсерийный фильм для санатория Национального общества артистов варьете для больных туберкулезом. Вклад «Нашей банды», как и всех остальных, был второстепенным. На кадрах дети уплетают мороженое на ступеньках дома Нормы Ширер.
In February 1932, they performed in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. In 2010, Toronto columnist and historicist Jamie Bradburn published a retrospective piece about the events surrounding Farina's vaudeville appearance in Toronto in February 1932: "Like children elsewhere across the continent, young Toronto moviegoers in the 1920s and 1930s eagerly awaited the next instalment of the Our Gang series of shorts Having grown out of Our Gang after 1931's Fly My Kite, Hoskins and his younger sister, (aka Mango) developed the vaudeville act that brought them to Toronto On matinee day the STAR featured a front page interview with both children and their mother. Reporter Archibald Lampman (not the nineteenth century poet) noted that Janey "didn't think we were so hot". Bradburn notes that the girl's instincts were on target as the printed interview with "the doggy pickanins of the movies" was a shambling sometimes condescending affair. The occasion was special and the newspaper set up "chairs all around" Bradburn goes on to say that " Lampman made lame attempts to act as if he was trying to keep up the façade of dignified reporter before giving in to a case of the cutes whenever Hoskins flashed a toothy grin " The engagement began on February 12, 1932, with a Friday night spot as a special attraction at the Imperial Theatre The next morning they performed at a matinee at the Imperial, then made brief appearances for adoring fans at two Kresge stores "
Many of the original advertisements and photographs are included in this article. The siblings are pictured together signing a copy of the "Just Kids Safety Club" card sponsored by The Globe (a copy of the card with his signature and his Los Angeles address are displayed in the column). There is also mention of an interview with Farina's mother. "Mrs. Hoskins hinted at the discrimination the family faced, noting that she seemed far more accepted on the west coast than the east. With a voice that Lampan described as "flowing like an old darky melody" she praised the efforts of Scopes Trial Lawyer Clarence Darrow to improve conditions for blacks in America (presumably a reference to the Ossian Sweet case) and believes that her children's generation would overcome prejudice " Also of interest is an advertisement promoting Farina's singing ability: " Appearing this week at the Imperial Theatre, [he] will entertain you singing the sensational hits Home (Where Shadows Fall), Fox Trot and Save the Last Dance for Me,, waltz. Copies of these songs, 25 cents at Kresge's stores "
While Hoskins did find some work after Farina, it was short term. Soon after leaving Our Gang one of his first roles was as the "Host" of the 13th episode of the Voice of Hollywood (second series). Among the guests were John Wayne, Gary Cooper and Jackie Coogan, but this was just a one time event. In 1933 Hoskins, along with fellow graduates Mickey Daniels, Joe Cobb and Mary Kornman returned to "Our Gang" for an encore appearance in Fish Hooky, but nothing more came of it. Hoskins kept his relationship with the studio, though, and in 1936 he was part of an "Our Gang" tour and later appeared with the Gang on the You Asked for It show in the 1950s. After his vaudeville appearances, Hoskins returned to Los Angeles, where he auditioned for movie roles. When he appeared in his first full length movie, You Said a Mouthful starring Joe E. Brown, various papers carried the "news" that Farina cut off his braids for the movie and placed them in the family Bible. After this movie ended, Hoskins continued to audition for other movie roles. From 1932 to 1936 he made appearances in seven full length films, but most were not credited and his career in movies did not flourish. In one of her 1945 columns (published in various newspapers including the Lowell Sun) Louella Parsons wrote about Hoskins and other actors who served in World War II. "No one at Fort Roach knew the drama back of Sgt. Allen Hoskins appearance there on his last day in the Air Corps. As a boy, twenty years ago Sergeant Hoskins was Farina, in the Hal Roach Comedies. Hoskins saw action in five major Pacific battles and received a presidential citation. He expects to write and produce for the stage and has a musical he wrote in Australia." Parsons went on to write: blockquote|text=Want to say it again and again and keep on saying it, our boys who gave up studio jobs to go into the service and who have done so much for Hollywood and for their country must get their jobs back. That's one thing Hollywood must not have on its conscience. I mean the bitterness and heartache of these kids. Bob McGowan, who directed "Farina" as a child in Our Gang Comedies, wrote me: 'Thank you for the plug for "Farina", now Sgt. Allen Hoskins. He was a pretty blue little black boy when he failed to get his old job back we can't have that and neither can any great industry in our country '
After serving in the South Pacific, it was back to Hal Roach Studios, auditioning for a featured part in Roach's Amos and Andy television series. He didn't get it."
В феврале 1932 года они выступили в Торонто, Онтарио, Канада. В 2010 году торонтский обозреватель и историк Джейми Брэдберн опубликовал ретроспективную статью о событиях, связанных с выступлением Фарины в водевиле в Торонто в феврале 1932 года: «Как и дети по всему континенту, молодые зрители из Торонто в 1920-х и 1930-х годах с нетерпением ждали следующей серии короткометражек «Наша банда». Выросшие из «Нашей банды» после выхода фильма «Fly My Kite» в 1931 году, Хоскинс и его младшая сестра (известная как Манго) разработали вадевильный номер, который привел их в Торонто. В день дневного сеанса STAR опубликовала на первой странице интервью с обоими детьми и их матерью. Репортер Арчибальд Лэмпман (не поэт девятнадцатого века) отметил, что Джейн «не считала нас крутыми». Брэдберн отмечает, что инстинкты девочки оказались верными, поскольку опубликованное интервью с «маленькими чернокожими собачками из кино» получилось неуклюжим и временами снисходительным. Событие было особенным, и газета установила «стулья вокруг». Брэдберн продолжает: «Лэмпман делал неловкие попытки притвориться, что он пытается сохранить достоинство репортера, прежде чем поддаться кокетству, когда Хоскинс демонстрировал свою белоснежную улыбку». Выступления начались 12 февраля 1932 года с пятничного вечера в качестве специальной программы в Имперском театре. На следующее утро они выступили на дневном сеансе в Имперском театре, а затем сделали короткие появления перед поклонниками в двух магазинах Kresge.

Многие из оригинальных рекламных объявлений и фотографий включены в эту статью. На снимках братья и сестра вместе подписывают карточку «Клуб безопасности детей», спонсируемую The Globe (копия карточки с его подписью и адресом в Лос-Анджелесе представлена в колонке). Также упоминается интервью с матерью Фарины. «Миссис Хоскинс намекнула на дискриминацию, с которой сталкивалась семья, отметив, что ее, казалось, гораздо лучше принимали на западном побережье, чем на восточном. Голосом, который Лэмпман описал как «льющимся, как старая негритянская мелодия», она похвалила усилия адвоката по делу Скоупса Кларенса Дэрроу по улучшению условий жизни чернокожих в Америке (вероятно, имея в виду дело Оссиана Свита) и верит, что поколение ее детей преодолеет предрассудки». Также представляет интерес реклама, продвигающая вокальные данные Фарины: «На этой неделе в Имперском театре [он] развлечет вас исполнением сенсационных хитов «Home (Where Shadows Fall)», фокстрота и вальса «Save the Last Dance for Me». Копии этих песен по 25 центов в магазинах Kresge».

Хотя Хоскинс и нашел работу после Фарины, она была недолгой. Вскоре после ухода из «Нашей банды» одна из его первых ролей была ролью «Ведущего» в 13-м эпизоде «Голоса Голливуда» (второй сериал). Среди гостей были Джон Уэйн, Гэри Купер и Джеки Куган, но это было лишь разовое событие. В 1933 году Хоскинс вместе с бывшими участниками Микки Дэниелсом, Джо Коббом и Мэри Корнман вернулись в «Нашу банду» для повторного выступления в фильме «Fish Hooky», но больше ничего не вышло. Тем не менее, Хоскинс поддерживал отношения со студией, и в 1936 году он участвовал в турне «Нашей банды», а позже появился с бандой в шоу «You Asked for It» в 1950-х годах. После своих выступлений в водевиле Хоскинс вернулся в Лос-Анджелес, где проходил прослушивание на роли в кино. Когда он появился в своем первом полнометражном фильме «Ты сказал целую кучу» с Джо Э. Брауном в главной роли, различные газеты опубликовали «новость» о том, что Фарина отрезал свои косички для фильма и положил их в семейную Библию. После окончания этого фильма Хоскинс продолжал прослушиваться на другие роли. С 1932 по 1936 год он снялся в семи полнометражных фильмах, но большинство из них не были указаны в титрах, и его кинокарьера не сложилась. В одной из своих колонок 1945 года (опубликованных в различных газетах, включая Lowell Sun) Луэлла Парсонс написала о Хоскинсе и других актерах, служивших во Второй мировой войне. «Никто в Форт-Роуче не знал о драме, стоявшей за появлением сержанта Аллена Хоскинса там в его последний день в ВВС. Будучи мальчиком, двадцать лет назад сержант Хоскинс был Фариной в комедиях Хала Роуча. Хоскинс участвовал в пяти крупных сражениях на Тихом океане и получил президентскую награду. Он планирует писать и ставить пьесы и написал мюзикл в Австралии». Парсонс продолжила: «Хочу сказать это снова и снова и продолжать говорить: наши ребята, которые оставили работу в студии, чтобы пойти на службу, и которые сделали так много для Голливуда и своей страны, должны вернуться на свои рабочие места. Это то, что Голливуд не должен иметь на своей совести. Я имею в виду горечь и боль этих детей. Боб Макгоуэн, который режиссировал «Фарину» в детстве в комедиях «Наша банда», написал мне: «Спасибо за рекламу «Фарины», теперь сержанта Аллена Хоскинса. Он был довольно синим маленьким чернокожим мальчиком, когда не смог вернуться на свою старую работу. Мы не можем этого допустить, и ни одна великая индустрия в нашей стране тоже».

Профессиональная реабилитационная карьера, 19551980
Известный своим друзьям как Эл, он и его жена, Фрэнзи, переехали в 1950-х годах в Санта-Розу, где они воспитали своих детей и где он начал свою карьеру в области реабилитации. Точная дата начала работы в больнице Сономы, расположенной в Элдридже, Калифорния, неизвестна, но к 1963 году он был директором Sheltered Workshop (защищенной мастерской). Помимо работы полный рабочий день, он стал беспокоиться о проблемах молодежи в районе Южного парка Санта-Розы, где они жили. В свободное время он разработал предложение о создании "Weekend House – Вечернего и выходного центра обучения и консультирования" для молодежи. Во введении он написал: "Начало будущих проблем, если их не решить сейчас, может и будет развиваться в серьезные проблемы сообщества, которые, оставленные без контроля, приведут к такому типу территориального и социального разрушения, который испытывали другие сообщества в прошлом". Часть проблемы, по его словам, заключалась в том, что "в районе нет парков или рекреационных объектов". В своем предложении Хоскинс определил эти проблемы и предложил решения. Копия этого сохранилась, но неизвестно, подал ли он его местному правительству. В 1965 году он покинул больницу Сономы ради более выгодной должности, и семья переехала в Хейвард, штат Калифорния. Теперь он был директором Sheltered Workshop (защищенной мастерской) в Центре Уолперта, входящем в Ассоциацию помощи детям с задержкой в развитии Южного округа Аламеда. Его карьера освещалась в местных газетах не потому, что он был детской звездой по имени "Фарина", а из-за его работы в качестве защитника прав людей с инвалидностью. В 1968 году в "Окленд Трибьюн" появилась статья о его усилиях по укреплению Sheltered Workshops (защищенных мастерских) в его районе: "Молодая организация, едва 3 года от роду, Ассоциация мастерских вносит значительный вклад в трудоустройство людей с ограниченными возможностями в округах Аламеда и Контра-Коста. В Ассоциации 14 мастерских. Они трудоустраивают 500 работников в возрасте от 18 до 70 лет. В мастерских работают люди с различными видами инвалидности: слепые, с умственной отсталостью, парализованные, тетраплегики и другие. Аллен С. Хоскинс из Хейворда является президентом Ассоциации. "Нам нужна работа", – сказал Хоскинс. "Самое сложное – убедить производителей в том, что мы можем выполнить определенный заказ", – заявил Хоскинс. "Как только мы успешно подаем заявку на контракт, менеджер предприятия обычно впечатляется качеством нашей работы и способностями наших работников. Мы считаем, что работа – это то, что объединяет людей". Хоскинс заявил. В феврале 1969 года Хоскинс был избран директором 10-й ежегодной конференции по реабилитационным мастерским. "Проблемы управления и функционирования реабилитационных мастерских для людей с инвалидностью – тема 10-й ежегодной конференции Калифорнийской ассоциации реабилитационных мастерских. Аллен Хоскинс, директор Центра для детей с задержкой развития в Хейварде, по адресу 1101 Уолперт-стрит, является программным директором этой конференции". Под его руководством, как сообщила "Окленд Трибьюн", в мастерской теперь работало 1000 клиентов, вдвое больше, чем в предыдущем году. "Рабочие-инвалиды представляют собой огромный экономический ресурс, который едва задействован", – по словам Хоскинса, который в то время также был президентом Ассоциации реабилитационных мастерских залива, представлявшей 40 мастерских в районе залива. Хоскинс выступил на пресс-конференции, посвященной празднованию Недели мастерских, которую провозгласили мэр Окленда Джон Х. Рединг и другие мэры по всему штату. "Я еще не нашел ни одного предприятия, на котором не было бы какой-либо работы, которую не могли бы лучше выполнить наши мастерские", – сказал Хоскинс. "Они – спящий гигант. Позвоните нам, и мы обследуем вашу компанию, расскажем, что мы можем для вас сделать, и предложим вам условия. Мы ищем работу, а не подачки". Работая полный рабочий день, Хоскинс также продолжал развивать творческие проекты и открыл свою собственную студию. В 1976 году "Окленд Трибьюн" сообщила, что он добровольно помогал молодым актерам оттачивать свое мастерство в местной некоммерческой группе, Экспериментальной молодежной театральной компании, где он был советником группы, "предоставляя свой опыт на добровольных началах".
In 1968 an article appeared in the Oakland Tribune regarding his efforts to strengthen Sheltered Workshops in his area: A stripling of an organization, barely 3 years old, the Association of Workshops is making significant contributions to the employment of handicapped people in Alameda and Contra Costa Counties There are 14 Workshops in the Association. They employ 500 working clients from ages 18 to 70. All types of handicaps blind, mentally retarded, paraplegic, quadriplegic and others are employed in the shops. Allen C. Hoskins of Hayward, is President of the Association. "What we need is work." Hoskins said. "The hardest thing is to convince manufacturers that we can do a specific job" Hoskins declared. "Once we have successfully bid on a contract, a plant manager usually is impressed with the quality of our work and the ability of our workers We believe a job is the glue that holds people together." Hoskins declared. In February 1969, Hoskins was chosen to be Director of the 10th Annual Conference on Rehabilitation Workshops. "The problems of administrating and operating Rehabilitation Workshops for the Handicapped is the subject of the California Association of Rehabilitation Workshops' 10th annual conference Allen Hoskins, director of the Hayward Retarded Children's Center, 1101 Walpert St. is the program director for this year's convention." Under his guidance, the Oakland Tribune reported that the workshop was now employing 1,000 clients, double what it had the previous year. "Handicapped workers represent a vast economic resource which has been barely tapped," according to Hoskins, who was also at that time President of the Bay Area Association of Rehabilitation Workshops, which represented 40 Workshops in the Bay Area. Hoskins spoke at a press conference marking the observance of Workshop Week, which was proclaimed by Mayor John H. Reading of Oakland and other mayors throughout the state. "I have yet to find a business operation in which there is not some item of work which could not be best handled by one of our shops", Hoskins said "they're a sleeping giant You call us and we'll survey your company, tell you what we can do for you and make you an offer What we're looking for is work not a handout." While working full time, Hoskins also continued to develop creative projects and opened his own studio. In 1976 the Oakland Tribune reported that he was volunteering to help young actors learn their craft at a local nonprofit group, the Experimental Group Young People's Theatre Co., where he was an advisor to the group, " volunteering his expertise "
Зал славы чернокожих режиссеров, 1975
Хоскинс все еще активно занимался профессиональной реабилитацией в 1975 году, когда он был удостоен чести быть принятым в Зал славы чернокожих кинематографистов за свою актерскую работу на второй ежегодной церемонии вручения премии Оскара Мишо, проходившей в театре Paramount в Окленде. В том же году были отмечены Сидни Пуатье, Лена Хорн, Руби Ди и Куинси Джонс. Его тогда же опросили о его карьере – прошлой и настоящей: «Я хочу, чтобы это было зафиксировано: я ни разу не использовал имя Фарины для продвижения. Я создал себе неплохую репутацию в сфере реабилитации и не хочу хвастаться, но думаю, что для меня очень важно не зацикливаться на прошлом». Отец шестерых детей, Хоскинс участвует в нескольких проектах, включая работу над автобиографией, радиосериал «Walkabout» и возглавляет свою компанию для творческих проектов – ALFRAN. В своей благодарственной речи Хоскинс задал вопрос: «Что такое успех?», и ответил так: «Я не смог заниматься тем, чем хотел, поэтому занялся тем, с чем мог жить. Думаю, для меня очень важно не жить прошлым». Он также поблагодарил публику: «Я хочу поблагодарить каждого из вас. Я очень рад, что вы обо мне не забыли».
Ретроспективный 1979 год
За год до смерти в различных газетах была опубликована ретроспективная статья о его жизни. "Аллен Хоскинс говорит, что с теплотой вспоминает свою роль Фарины в "Нашей банде" около 50 лет назад, но он не получает никаких отчислений. "Мне надоело, что люди думают, будто я получаю отчисления или оплату за повторные показы все еще популярного сериала", – сказал Хоскинс в недавнем интервью. "У меня нет ни копейки, я никогда не пытался извлекать выгоду из имени Фарины, я этого не делал – и не делаю". Вместо этого 58-летний Хоскинс рассказал, что долгие годы работал маляром и посудомойщиком, прежде чем получить нынешнюю должность офицера по связям с общественностью в округе Аламеда в Ассоциации помощи детям с задержкой в развитии."
Смерть
Хоскинс умер от рака 26 июля 1980 года в Окленде, штат Калифорния. Многие газеты, включая Farmington Daily Times, опубликовали сообщение о его смерти: "Он умер в субботу после поступления в больницу в коме". Его жена Фрэнзи, дочь Кенди и сын Крис находились у его постели. Она сообщила, что в момент смерти он работал над созданием радиосериала и руководил собственной проектной компанией под названием ALFRAN.
Его жена, Фрэнзи, продолжала жить в районе залива до своей смерти в 2010 году, а его сестра Дженни ("Манго") проживала в Северной Калифорнии до своей смерти в 1996 году. Хоскинс был похоронен без надгробного камня в безымянной могиле на кладбище Эвергрин в Окленде. Лишь спустя двадцать лет после его смерти, благодаря усилиям Яна Тернера и сайта Find A Grave в 2000 году (указан как Find A Grave Memorial #8483), на его могиле был установлен надгробный камень.
