Spencer's Boston Theatre (Classic Reprint) by William V. Spencer Pdf

Excerpt from Spencer's Boston Theatre Dodd. It's of no use. I can't make head or tail Of it. They can't be all right. It's against reason. It's a diabolical and premeditated outrage on common sense. Oh! It's a ter rible thing to be forced to believe that there are beings in human form perambulating this mundane Sphere, with an ink bottle in one hand and a steel pen in the other, doing these things in cold blood. What have I ever done to war-corre spondents, that war-correspondents should take this fiendish delight in deceiving me? (reads) The enemg fled before our advancing troops, without firing a gun. That's well enough. I've not the slightest Objection to any number Of enemies flying any number Of times before any quantity of guns are fired; not a bit of it. If that's their peculiar way Of enjoying themselves, let them enjoy themselves in their peculiar way, 'heaven's N 0! It's not that: it's this. (reads) Our wags fled before the advancing enemg, with out firing a gun. It! It can't be both, you know. It's perfectly distracting. (beads) Jeji Davis is dead. Jefi. Davis alive and well. Jej. Davis positively dead. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

American Presidents Attend the Theatre by Thomas A. Bogar Pdf

Not every presidential visit to the theatre is as famous as Lincoln’s last night at Ford’s, but American presidents attended the theatre long before and long after that ill-fated night. In 1751, George Washington saw his first play, The London Merchant, during a visit to Barbados. John Quincy Adams published dramatic critiques. William McKinley avoided the theatre while in office, on professional as well as moral grounds. Richard Nixon met his wife at a community theatre audition. Surveying 255 years, this volume examines presidential theatre-going as it has reflected shifting popular tastes in America.

Urban Rehearsals and Novel Plots in the Early American City by Betsy Klimasmith Pdf

Urban Rehearsals and Novel Plots in the Early American City sheds new light on the literature of the early US by exploring how literature, theatre, architecture, and images worked together to allow readers to imagine themselves as urbanites even before cities developed. In the four decades following the Revolutionary War, the new nation was a loose network of nascent cities connected by print. Before a national culture could develop, local city cultures took shape; literary texts played key roles in helping new Americans become city people. Drawing on extensive archival research, Urban Rehearsals argues that literature, particularly novels and plays, allowed Bostonians to navigate the transition from colonial town to post-revolution city, enabled Philadelphians to grieve their experiences of the 1793 Yellow Fever epidemic and rebuild in the epidemic's aftermath, and showed New Yorkers how the domestic practices that reinforced their urbanity could be opened to the broader public. Throughout, attention to underrepresented voices and texts calls attention to the possibilities for women, immigrants, and Black Americans in developing urban spaces, while showing how those possibilities would be foreclosed as the nation developed. Balancing attention to canonical texts of the early Republic, including The Power of Sympathy, Charlotte Temple, and Benjamin Franklin's Autobiography, with novels whose depiction of early cities deserves greater attention, such as Ormond, The Boarding-School, Monima, and Kelroy, this volume shows how US cities developed on the pages and stages of the early Republic, building urban imaginations that would construct the nation's early cities.

Spencer's Boston Theatre, Vol. 6 by J. B. Howe Pdf

Excerpt from Spencer's Boston Theatre, Vol. 6: A Collection of Scarce Acting Tragedies, Comedies, Dramas, Farces and Burlettas IN presenting a sketch of the popular young tragedian, mr. J. B. Howe, we feel assured that we are gratifying the public, who are quite anxious to be made ac quainted with any information relating to this gifted young actor, who has speedily become one of the greatest favorites of the play-goers of the Athens of America. He is quite young, having been born October 23, in Charlotte Street, Pim lico, London, England. Llis father, Mr. T. Burdett Howe. Was for many years a celebrated light comedian and vocalist, attached to the London Theatres. The sub jcet of our sketch, though not intended for the histrionic profession, imbibed a yearn ing for the sock and buskin at an early age, and his first dramatic essay is re corded to have occurred in August. 1845, in the character of Miles Bellcrirm, in George Almar's very excellent drama of The Rover's Bride, on the stage of the Bower Sa loon, Stangate Street. Westminster Road, London. Subsequently he played Walter cntworlh. In the late John Wilkins's drama of The Green Hills of the Far West. At the Queen's Theatre. He then proceeded to the Provinces, and assumed the position of Juvenile Tragcdlun at the dovertheatre, at that period under the direction of Mr. Edward Laws. We next find our young hero with Manager - egentleman Rogers, at Rochdale and Blackburn; then with Fitzivilliams and Set'ton Parry, at Croyden, near London. His next step was to gain a foothold in the metropolis, and he applied to James Biddles, then manager of the Bower Saloon. And his services were at once accepted for the leading business. After a successful season at this popular theatre, he resigned his position there and joined the forces of Mr. Samuel Lane, of the Britannia Theatre, Hoxton. Where he became a general favorite, but suddenly conceived the idea to risk his fortunes in America, where genius is but to be known to be appreciated and rewarded. Ills sudden determination was scarcely conceived before it was executed; and without preparation, or indeed without mak ing his intention known to any but his immediate friends. He embarked for this country, and arrived at New York, September 28, 1853; and without a friend to grasp by the hand. Or a letter to introduce him, our energetic and zealous young adventurer, a stranger in a strange land. Made numerous unsuccessful applica tlons to the New York managers but finally met with that which his indomitable spirit so eminently deserved, an engagement with our esteemed friend Captain Purdy, Of the National Theatre, a gentleman who is noted for his amiable qualities, and who has done as much to encourage and foster rising genius, as any manager this side of the Atlantic. The part assigned to Mr. [lows for his advent was St. Clair. In the drama of Uncle Tom's Cabin, then creating a furore unprecedented in theatrical annals. The success which attended his delineation of this role for three hundred consecutive nights, sufilciently indicated that he was an artiste of rare ability. And numerous tempting inducements to visit other cities were made him, all of which he very properly rejected until the termination of the season, when Mr. Thomas Barry, Of the new Boston Theatre, solicited him to join the corps dra mallow, about to inaugurate that high-toned and classic theatre; which he did, open ing as Colonel Bri'llon in The butler. During the. Season he made rapid progress in his art. And became a very general favorite. Among other parts in which he crea ted a decidedly fiivorahle impression, we may instance Lorenzo, in Mr. E. L. Daven port's play of St. Marc. From Boston he proceeded to Baltimore to lead the business at the Museum. Opening in Mould, and creating in that difficult role a sensation of noordinary character, and eliciting from a distinguished critic the. Most. Gratifying praise. After pointing out the many beauties of his...
