Ross, Starlight's general manager, is a name synonymous with show business. His impressive background in the theater and entertainment world contains enviable achievements in production and managerial capacities from coast to coast. Mr. Ross started his theatrical-managerial career many years ago, in Boston, and was subsequently road manager for some of the country's leading attractions; he was also personal manager for various famed theatrical figures. He was manager of the Indianapolis Centennial Series in 1947, and has been a dominant figure in the development of summer activities here. He is manager of "Theatre Produc­ tions, Inc."—holder of the Indianapolis franchise of the United Booking Office, which brings all "legit" attractions to the Murat Theatre. He is also president of the Ross and Babcock Travel Bureau. He is never too busy to try one thing more, if he thinks it is for the good of Indianapolis; he believes that summer musical entertainment is a necessity for any city worthy of the name. He believes that Hoosiers want it, and he wants to give MELVIN T. ROSS it to them. General Manager RAINCHECK INFORMATION 1.

  • Hollywood Musicals
    i HOLLYWOOD MUSICALS Hollywood Musicals offers an insightful account of a genre that was once a main- stay of twentieth- century fi lm production and continues to draw audiences today. What is a fi lm musical? How do musicals work, formally and culturally? Why have they endured since the introduction of sound in the late 1920s? What makes them more than glittery surfaces or escapist fare? In answering such questions, this guidebook by Steven Cohan takes new and familiar viewers on a tour of Hollywood musicals. Chapters discuss defi nitions of the genre, its long history, different modes of analyzing it, the great stars of the classic era, and auteur directors. Highlights include extended discussions of such celebrated musicals from the studio era as The Love Parade, Top Hat , Holiday Inn , Stormy Weather, The Gang’s All Here, Meet Me in St. Louis, Cover Girl, Mother Wore Tights, Singin’ in the Rain , Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, The Band Wagon , Seven Brides for Seven Brothers , and Jailhouse Rock as well as later fi lms, such a s Cabaret , All that Jazz, Beauty and the Beast, and La La Land. Cohan brings in numerous other examples that amplify and extend to the present day his claims about the musical, its generic coherence and fl exibility, its long and distinguished history, its special appeal, and its cultural signifi cance. Clear and accessible, this guide provides students of fi lm and culture with a succinct but substantial overview that provides both analysis and intersectional context to one of Hollywood’s most beloved genres. Steven Cohan’s books include Masked Men: Masculinity and the Movies in the Fifties, Incongruous Entertainment: Camp, Cultural Value, and the MGM Musical , and Hollywood by Hollywood: The Backstudio Picture and the Mystique of Making Movies.

The American 6 2008; Jan. Century 8-24, Theater2009 Compiled and Edited by Jack Marshall The American Century Theater was founded in 1994. We are a professional company dedicated to presenting great, important, and neglected American plays of the Twentieth Century… what Henry Luce called “the American Century.” The company’s mission is one of rediscovery, enlightenment, and perspective, not nostalgia or preservation. Americans must not lose the extraordinary vision and wisdom of past playwrights, nor can we afford to surrender our moorings to our shared cultural heritage. Our mission is also driven by a conviction that communities need theater, and theater needs audiences. To those ends, this company is committed to producing plays that challenge and move all Americans, of all ages, origins and points of view. In particular, we strive to create theatrical experiences that entire families can watch, enjoy, and discuss long afterward. These study guides are part of our effort to enhance the appreciation of these works, so rich in history, content, and grist for debate. 2 Table of Contents The Playwrights 4 Life With Father on the Screen 7 Clarence Shepard Day, Jr. 13 The Gift of Song 14 By Clarence Shepard Day, Jr. TV Domestic Comedy 18 American Century Theater Season 22 3 The Playwrights: Howard Lindsay (1889-1968) and Russel Crouse (1893-1966) Lindsay and Crouse were one of the most dynamic, successful and long-lasting theatrical teams in American theater history, though they are almost forgotten today.

Perle Mesta was the first United States Ambassador to MADAM Luxembourg. The original “hostess with the mostest,” Mes- ta was known for hosting lavish parties in Washington D.C for almost 30 years. Born in Oklahoma, her family came into wealth when her father became involved in the oil and real-estate industries. In 1917 she married George Mesta, owner of Mesta Machinery. Mrs. Mesta became interested in politics when her husband introduced her to several high-ranking officials, including President Calvin Coolidge. Following her husband’s death, she became heavily involved in the quest for women’s rights and joined the National Women’s Party as its Congressional chairman and Public Relations specialist. While lobbying for the Equal Rights Amendment, she made a multitude of con- nections with politicians who would later attend her famous social gatherings. A Republican for most of her life, Mesta realigned herself with the Democratic party, opting to give financial support to then Senator Harry Truman.

Honks, Whistles, and Harp: The Transnational Sound of Harpo Marx 1 Honks, Whistles, and Harp: The Transnational Sound of Harpo Marx Marie Ventura Introduction: a Transnational Trickster 1 In early autumn, 1933, New York critic Alexander Woollcott telephoned his friend Harpo Marx with a singular proposal. Having just learned that President Franklin Roosevelt was about to carry out his campaign promise to have the United States recognize the Soviet Union, Woollcott—a great friend and supporter of the Roosevelts, and Eleanor Roosevelt in particular—had decided “that Harpo Marx should be the first American artist to perform in Moscow after the US and the USSR become friendly nations” (Marx and Barber 297). “They’ll adore you,” Woollcott told him. “With a name like yours, how can you miss? Can’t you see the three-sheets? ‘Presenting Marx—In person’!” (Marx and Barber 297) 2 Harpo’s response, quite naturally, was a rather vehement: you’re crazy! The forty-four- year-old performer had no intention of going to Russia.1 In 1933, he was working in Hollywood as one of a family comedy team of four Marx Brothers: Chico, Harpo, Groucho, and Zeppo.

    NEWS RELEASE Contact: Patricia Blaufuss, Public Relations Manager (203) 227-5137 x197 | (203) 571-1287 | [email protected] For Immediate Release: June 26, 2019 Westport Country Playhouse Presents Musical Tribute to Legendary Songwriter Irving Berlin “Hershey Felder as Irving Berlin” plays July 16 through August 3 Westport Country Playhouse, in association with Hershey Felder Presents, will stage a musical tribute to Irving Berlin, one of the most successful songwriters of the 20th Century, with “Hershey Felder as Irving Berlin,” from July 16 – August 3. The show celebrates composer Irving Berlin and reveals the inspiration for Berlin’s countless hit songs, including “Blue Skies,” “There’s No Business Like Show Business,” “White Christmas,” and more. Irving Berlin’s uplifting immigrant story, from Czarist Russia to New York’s Lower East Side to Broadway, epitomizes the American Dream. The production’s music and lyrics are by Irving Berlin, book by Hershey Felder, and direction by Trevor Hay. “Evergreen and never out of date, Irving Berlin’s cornucopian songbook, filled with invention, warmth, depth, and sheer joy, is without equal,” said Mark Lamos, Westport Country Playhouse artistic director. “In fact, Berlin’s songs have been interpreted and recorded by everyone from the Andrews Sisters, Frank Sinatra, and Bing Crosby, to Tony Bennett, Michael Bublé, Kelly Clarkson, and Lady Gaga.” According to Berlin’s official website, irvingberlin.com, the composer produced a catalogue that boasted over 1,000 tunes defining American popular song for much of the 20th Century. He was equally at home writing for Broadway (“Call Me Madam,” “Annie Get Your Gun”) and Hollywood (“Top Hat,” “White Christmas”).
