  • ANTA Theater and the Proposed Designation of the Related Landmark Site (Item No
    Landmarks Preservation Commission August 6, 1985; Designation List 182 l.P-1309 ANTA THFATER (originally Guild Theater, noN Virginia Theater), 243-259 West 52nd Street, Manhattan. Built 1924-25; architects, Crane & Franzheim. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 1024, Lot 7. On June 14 and 15, 1982, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the ANTA Theater and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 5). The hearing was continued to October 19, 1982. Both hearings had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Eighty-three witnesses spoke in favor of designation. Two witnesses spoke in opposition to designation. The owner, with his representatives, appeared at the hearing, and indicated that he had not formulated an opinion regarding designation. The Commission has received many letters and other expressions of support in favor of this designation. DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS The ANTA Theater survives today as one of the historic theaters that symbolize American theater for both New York and the nation. Built in the 1924-25, the ANTA was constructed for the Theater Guild as a subscription playhouse, named the Guild Theater. The fourrling Guild members, including actors, playwrights, designers, attorneys and bankers, formed the Theater Guild to present high quality plays which they believed would be artistically superior to the current offerings of the commercial Broadway houses. More than just an auditorium, however, the Guild Theater was designed to be a theater resource center, with classrooms, studios, and a library. The theater also included the rrost up-to-date staging technology.

    In 1925, eight actors were dedicated to a dream. Expatriated from their Broadway haunts by constant film commitments, they wanted to form a club here in Hollywood; a private place of rendezvous, where they could fraternize at any time. Their first organizational powwow was held at the home of Robert Edeson on April 19th. ”This shall be a theatrical club of love, loy- alty, and laughter!” finalized Edeson.

  • Chapter II: “The Friendly Abyss”
    Chapter II: “The Friendly Abyss” “To understand the cause of Humbert’s obsessive behaviour towards Lolita, we must consider his character […] as a cultural exile […] whose ignoble fate it is to wander aimlessly with Lolita along the margins and byways of American society, sans roots […] sans anything save his glorious memories of an older European world.” John Haegert, “Artist in Exile: The Americanization of Humbert Humbert”, 1985 “If I wanted to destroy a nation I would give it too much, and have it on its knees, miserable, greedy and weak.” John Steinbeck, in a letter to a friend, 1959. 1. Brief Cultural and Historical Contextualisation of Lolita – from 1945 to 1959. Lolita’s cultural backdrop is inseparable from the post-World War II. The novel’s core action begins in the spring of 1947, when Humbert meets Lolita in Ramsdale, and ends in 1952, whith Humbert’s death in jail, followed by Lolita’s some months later on Christmas day. The Second World War had come to an end only seven years before, on August 15, 1945. The Japanese surrender had been arduous and lengthy, culminating in President Truman’s controversial launch of two atomic bombs on Japanese territory. While America enjoyed a victory coupled with few causalities and a rising economy, Europeans dealt with the destruction caused by the Nazi invasions. Most of the losses suffered were not on American soil, but on European and Japanese (Vide Annexes 1 and 2). The lack of bombed buildings and invaded cities did not mean America was deprived of the effects of WWII.
