Showbusiness and the Great War by Everett Sharp
World War One Centenary : Continuations and Beginnings (University of Oxford / JISC) That's Entertainment: Showbusiness and the Great War by Everett Sharp 2012-08-29 12:12:49 In 1914, the troops marched away to patriotic airs that reflected the mood of the times and the prevailing optimism that the war would be 'over by Christmas'. The tune that best captures the spirit of the period, at least for a modern audience, was written by Jack Judge and Henry Williams in 1912: It's a long, long way to Tipperary. A worldwide hit, the song was translated into 17 languages and had sold over eight million copies by 1919.[1] Other pieces that reflected a sentimental view of the Empire and the military were ?Goodbye Dolly Grey? (a popular tune from the Boer War), Fall in and follow me and Are we downhearted; these pre-war songs easily crossed from the Music Halls to the men on the march, who enjoyed community singing as a form of entertainment and found in the songs many of the manly virtues that they aspired to. In 1915 this mood still prevailed, and a competition to find a 'rousing wartime song' was won by Felix and George Powell's famous Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag and smile, smile, smile. By 1916, however, long lists of war wounded and dead had removed any hope that the conflict would soon be over. Volunteer recruitment could no longer be relied upon, enthusiasm waned, and conscription was introduced in May of that year. There was a dawning realisation that the songs that had captured the spirit of 1914 so well were no longer appropriate. -

Iv: the Allan Wilkie Shakespearean Company, 1920-1926
IV: THE ALLAN WILKIE SHAKESPEAREAN COMPANY, 1920-1926 "Our True Intent is all for Your Delight." In September 1920, Allan Wilkie announced his plans to establish Australia's first permanent Shakespearean company, drawing a parallel to Frank Benson's Company in England. The inaugural production by the new Allan Wilkie Shakespearean Company was to be a "new arrangement" of Macbeth, and Wilkie gave it as his fixed intention to produce all thirty-seven of Shakespeare's plays, some of which had never previously been staged in Australia." Advance publicity emphasized the potentially historic nature of the occasion: When in future years this company will be counted one of the institutions of which Australia is proud, those who attend on the opening night will tell with satisfaction how they were present during the enthusiastic hours which saw the inception of the company [Argus, 9 September 1920]. Many cynics were quick to point out the unlikelihood of Wilkie's venture surviving for long, or even getting off the ground, in view of the history of Shakespeare production in Australia. His was by no means the first proposal to establish a permanent company, but lack of demand had ended all previous efforts. In order to arouse audience curiosity, Wilkie advertised, as mentioned above, a "new arrangement" of Macbeth. His presentation was to have two novel aspects, which were to form the basis of his production methods in the years to come. They were interdependent: first, a new method of scenic arrangement, and second, a new organisation of the play, made possible by simplified scenery. -

“The Peking to Paris Rally”
1 “The Peking to Paris Rally” Sam Peters has been a member of the Vines community since 1989. He is a man who enjoys a challenge. Here are a few examples. Flew to Germany to experience the Berlin Wall coming down. Went to Russia and trained for a week to fly a Russian MIG . Signed on as crew to sail the Mediterranean. Climbed Kilimanjaro and made it to the summit. Drove a dirt bike for a month through the outback of Mexico. Skied just about every black run in the U.S., Canada and Argentina. Won his age group in the handball national championship. Thirteen matches in two days. So this year it was time for something really big. “The Peking to Paris Rally”. Ninety-six cars entered, mostly with professional competitors. Fly from Cincinnati to Beijing (6,830 air miles) then drive 7,610 miles through Asia/Europe in 33 days with friend and mechanic, Enos Reed, in a 1940 Studebaker called (Stu).We are told that we can track car 41 (Stu) on “Yellow Brick” a transponder installed to track the car on the internet. Preparations are underway, registering, collecting ID’s and Chinese driver’s licenses, uploading way points in Marine GPS and going to briefings. The field will compete in two basic divisions, the Vintageant category, (pre 1941 model cars) with 42 entrants including “Stu” and the Classic category (pre 1975 models) with 54 entrants. The race, set to start on May 28th is on schedule. No sooner underway then the first glitch is encountered. The Chinese government has confiscated all of the GPS equipment suggesting that it might be used for spying. -
The Remarkable Molly Porsche 356

But in 2004, a customer of Gantspeed Engineering, Lincolnshire, England, asked the workshop’s owner, Robert Gant, to find him a right-hand drive Porsche 356A. This customer wanted to try his hand at a bit of classic rallying, and for his very first event, he had entered the 2007 Peking to Paris rally! Well, if you want to learn to swim, there is nothing like diving in at the deep end to start the ball rolling, so to speak. www.porscheroadandrace.com Molly poses for a snap in Russia during the Peking to Paris rally 2007 © David & Julie Harrison Robert Gant set to work to source a suitable car and as it happened, a South African right- hand drive 356A project car came up. This was an incomplete car with VW engine and transmission, and so a deal was done and this became the starting point for the project. The body was duly stripped and media blasted back to bare metal, revealing a very rusty bodyshell that told a sad tale of botched repairs over the years. All the rusted sections were cut away and new panels installed, at this stage most of the car was being held together by mole grips. It was at this point that the car received its nickname, Molly Mole Grip, later shortened to Molly, which has stuck with her to this day. -

The Mousmé and the Cultural Mobility of Musical Comedy
6 Henry Balme Yale University, USA Between Modernism and Japonism: The Mousmé and the cultural mobility of musical comedy Edwardian musical comedy had been sidelined in music and theatre histories due to its conservative design and frivolous narratives, but it is now being critically reassessed for the role it played in the creation of a first globalised network of theatre. The Mousmé is a work that exemplifies the process of performative re- contextualisation that accompanied musical comedies as they travelled from London’s West End across the world, as far as Yokohama and Tokyo. The work appealed to British audiences because it was held to be a realistic reconstruction of Japanese culture and society, but it was also enjoyed by Japanese audiences, despite its stereotypical portrayal of their people. This apparent dichotomy is explored in this essay, which presents little-known documents surrounding the production and its travels. It sheds light on how musical theatre became culturally mobile during the first age of globalisation. Henry Balme is a full-time Ph.D. candidate in Music History at the Department of Music of Yale University. He completed his M.St. at the University of Oxford (2015) and his B.Mus. at City, University of London. Keywords: Bandmann Opera Company, cultural mobility, Edwardian musical comedy, Florence Smithson, George Edwardes, globalisation, japonism, Maurice E. Bandmann, modernity ulture is rarely stable or fixed.1 This claim is corroborated by the global Ctransmission and reception of Edwardian musical comedy. For a long time the genre had been considered an obscure part of musical theatre history and thus demoted to the sidelines of musicology and theatre studies.2 It is now being critically re-assessed for the importance it played in the globalisation of theatre during the first fifteen years of the twentieth century: musical comedy became a medium of extraordinary mobility, transmitted via the transnational travel and communication networks that had been put into place during the nineteenth century. -
Cultural Convergence the Dublin Gate Theatre, 1928–1960
Cultural Convergence The Dublin Gate Theatre, 1928–1960 Edited by Ondřej Pilný · Ruud van den Beuken · Ian R. Walsh Cultural Convergence “This well-organised volume makes a notable contribution to our understanding of Irish theatre studies and Irish modernist studies more broadly. The essays are written by a diverse range of leading scholars who outline the outstanding cultural importance of the Dublin Gate Theatre, both in terms of its national significance and in terms of its function as a hub of international engagement.” —Professor James Moran, University of Nottingham, UK “The consistently outstanding contributions to this illuminating and cohesive collection demonstrate that, for Gate Theatre founders Hilton Edwards and Micheál mac Liammóir and their collaborators, the limits of the imagination lay well beyond Ireland’s borders. Individually and collectively, the contribu- tors to this volume unravel the intricate connections, both personal and artistic, linking the theatre’s directors, designers, and practitioners to Britain, Europe, and beyond; they examine the development and staging of domestic plays written in either English or Irish; and they trace across national boundaries the complex textual and production history of foreign dramas performed in translation. In addition to examining a broad spectrum of intercultural and transnational influ- ences and perspectives, these frequently groundbreaking essays also reveal the extent to which the early Gate Theatre was a cosmopolitan, progressive, and inclusive space that recognized and valued women’s voices and queer forms of expression.” —Professor José Lanters, University of Wisconsin—Milwaukee, USA “Cultural Convergence is a book for which we have been waiting, not just in Irish theatre history, but in Irish cultural studies more widely. -
