This chapter analyzes the film career of D. A. Pennebaker. Pennebaker's key word is “interesting.” In numerous interviews, he has referred to events, subjects, and topics that have a certain “attractive” quality, in the sense that they demand attention, as interesting. In this way, he has insisted that a filmmaker “must shoot only what interests you.” His diversity of interesting films encompasses hybrid forms in which components of “documentary” mix with heightened dramatic elements associated with fiction film. These films include Daybreak Express (1953–57), an avant-gardist look at New York City; Jane (1962), a study of the actress Jane Fonda; Depeche Mode 101 (1989), and Only the Strong Survive (2002).

This chapter focuses on the role of Harry T. Burleigh's wife and family in his career as an “eminent baritone.” Due to his success in singing for the English royal and noble families, Burleigh returned to perform in England the following summer, but it also led to his wife's determination to create an identity distinct from her role as the wife of “the eminent baritone.” In fall 1909 Louise took their son Alston to England, where she placed him at Malden College for Boys just outside London. Then, assuming the stage name of Princess Redfeather, she “played in her own Indian Act in London music halls.” After the “real” Princess Redfeather, Princess Tsianina Redfeather, appeared and demanded that Louise must find another stage name, Louise became Ojibway Princess Nadonis, and later Princess Nadonis Shawa. This chapter considers Louise Alston Burleigh's separation from Harry and her decision to pursue a career as a performer in New York City, with particular emphasis on her American Indian presentations and her joint recitals.
