This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1897 edition. Excerpt: ... first piece' or "curtain raiser," called "My Uncle's Will," written by S. Theyre Smith for Mr. and Mrs. Kendal, who have lately acted in it in this country. The little comedy was new when Miss Jewett, Mr. James and Mr. Davidge depicted.the quarreling lovers, Cashmore and Florence Marigold, and wise Uncle Barker. One of the most attractive debutantes at the second Fifth Avenue Theatre was Emily Rigl, who was already well known as a dancer, in company with her sister Betty, when she made her first appearance in a speaking part, August 25, 1874, as Clarris in "What Could She Do? or Jealousy," a play founded on Augier's "Gabrielle." She acted many parts with a piquant charm, including Camille in "The Fast Family." Marie Lavergne in "Moorcroft," Queen Caroline in "The Heart of Midlothian," Virgie in "The Big Bonanza," Lucille in "Pique," Georgiana Vesey in "Money," Thel in "Life," and Bertha in "Lemons," speaking the text with a pretty foreign inflection. Nina Varian, who looked like a Portrait of a Lady by Sir Joshua Reynolds; Georgiana Drew, who has much of the skill of her gifted mother, and all of the family humor; Sydney Cowell, in those days a most engaging little soubrette, were other debutantes on that stage. Charles Coghlan, whose English reputation had preceded him, made his first appearance in America there, under Mr. Daly's management, as Alfred Evelyn, September 12, 1876, and was a member of the company throughout that season. The genial presence of John Brougham gave an additional charm in the minds of old playgoers to some of the revivals of standard English comedy at that time. Mr. Daly's repertory in the new...

In this authoritative work, Seiler and Seiler argues that the establishment and development of moviegoing and movie exhibition in Prairie Canada is best understood in the context of changing late-nineteenth-century and early-twentieth-century social, economic, and technological developments. From the first entrepreneurs who attempted to lure customers in to movie exhibition halls, to the digital revolution and its impact on moviegoing, Reel Time highlights the pivotal role of amusement venues in shaping the leisure activities of working- and middle-class people across North America.

Historically Canadians have considered themselves to be more or less free of racial prejudice. Although this conception has been challenged in recent years, it has not been completely dispelled. In Colour-Coded, Constance Backhouse illustrates the tenacious hold that white supremacy had on our legal system in the first half of this century, and underscores the damaging legacy of inequality that continues today. Backhouse presents detailed narratives of six court cases, each giving evidence of blatant racism created and enforced through law. The cases focus on Aboriginal, Inuit, Chinese-Canadian, and African-Canadian individuals, taking us from the criminal prosecution of traditional Aboriginal dance to the trial of members of the 'Ku Klux Klan of Kanada.' From thousands of possibilities, Backhouse has selected studies that constitute central moments in the legal history of race in Canada. Her selection also considers a wide range of legal forums, including administrative rulings by municipal councils, criminal trials before police magistrates, and criminal and civil cases heard by the highest courts in the provinces and by the Supreme Court of Canada. The extensive and detailed documentation presented here leaves no doubt that the Canadian legal system played a dominant role in creating and preserving racial discrimination. A central message of this book is that racism is deeply embedded in Canadian history despite Canada's reputation as a raceless society.

This textbook provides a global, chronological mapping of significant areas of theatre, sketched from its deepest history in the evolution of our brain's 'inner theatre' to ancient, medieval, modern, and postmodern developments. It considers prehistoric cave art and built temples, African trance dances, ancient Egyptian and Middle-Eastern ritual dramas, Greek and Roman theatres, Asian dance-dramas and puppetry, medieval European performances, global indigenous rituals, early modern to postmodern Euro-American developments, worldwide postcolonial theatres, and the hyper-theatricality of today's mass and social media. Timelines and numbered paragraphs form an overall outline with distilled details of what students can learn, encouraging further explorations online and in the library. Questions suggest how students might reflect on present parallels, making their own maps of global theatre histories, regarding geo-political theatrics in the media, our performances in everyday life, and the theatres inside our brains.

Performing Menken uses the life experiences of controversial actress and poet Adah Isaacs Menken to examine the culture of the Civil War period and what Menken's choices reveal about her period. It explores the roots of the cult of celebrity that emerged from crucible of war. While discussing Menken's racial and ethnic claims and her performance of gender and sexuality, Performing Menken focuses on contemporary use of social categories to explain patterns in America's past and considers why such categories appear to remain important.
