Myron Coureval Fagan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Myron Coureval Fagan (31 October 1887 - 12 May 1972) was a Jewish American[1] writer, producer and director for film and theatre.
He was married to actress Minna Gombell, who starred in many of his productions.
In 1916 Fagan served as Director of Public Relations for Republican Presidential candidate Charles Evans Hughes.
In 1929 the talking picture version of his play "The Great Power" earned the dubious record of being the shortest run of any movie at the Capitol Theatre, New York. It was replaced with a silent comedy film after only one performance.[2]
He moved to Hollywood in 1930, where he served as a writer and director with Pathe Pictures, Inc., then owned by Joseph P. Kennedy, and also at 20th Century Fox, and other Hollywood Film Studios. [3]
Fagan claimed he saw secret documents in 1945 that led him to write the plays 'Red Rainbow', which portrays Roosevelt, Stalin and others in Malta plotting to deliver the Balkans, Eastern Europe and Berlin to Stalin, and 'Thieves Paradise', which portrays the same group plotting to create the United Nations as a Communist front for one world government.[4]
From this time onward Fagan did not produce any further work for stage or screen, instead founding the Cinema Educational Guild, for which he wrote pamphlets and bulletins for the remainder of his life. His pamphleteering activity led to Congressional hearings in 1947 that saw more than 300 actors, writers, and directors from motion picture, radio, and television industries blacklisted as Communists, and to the imprisonment of the Hollywood Ten[5].
'Red Rainbow' was produced by Bruce Fagan and staged for 16 performances at the Royale Theatre between 14 September and 26 September 1953[6]. 'Thieves Paradise' does not appear to have been produced or staged.
Between 1967 and 1968 Fagan recorded 'The Illuminati and the Council on Foreign Relations', three LP records allegedly documenting the activities of a secret society known as The Illuminati[7]. Many of the claims made during Fagan's speech have allegedly been refuted[8].
Fagan's LPs were dubbed to compact cassette by the [[Sons of Liberty]. The recordings have since been copied to mp3 format and made freely available on the Internet.
Myron C. Fagan died on 12 May 1972 in Los Angeles, California, USA.
