Dr. Doty's example of excellence in her own scholarship served as a goal for which I strove in writing this dissertation. Dr. Bill J. Harbin of Louisiana State University greatly eased my task with his support and astute editorial comments as well. Likewise Dr. Fabian Gudas of Louisiana State University provided kindly and perceptive advice in the completion of this task. I am indebted to the Society of Authors in London, England and Dan Lawrence for their permission to use information from published and unpublished letters of George Bernard Shaw. In addition the following librarians and archivists generously aided me in my research: Mr. Paul Wank, Louisiana State University, Troy Middleton Library, Dorothy Swerdlove, Theatre Collection, Lincoln Center Library for the Performing Arts; Dr. Jeanne Newlin and Bistra Lankova, Theatre Collection, Harvard University; Cathy Henderson, Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center, The University of Texas; Letitia Yeandle, Folger Shakespeare Library; and the staff of the Goodwood Branch of the Baton Rouge, Louisiana Public Library. The love, faith in my ability, and belief in me shown by my sons, August and Robert Wenck Jr., and my sisters, Noelle Hendricks Barron and Dr. Maureen Hendricks as well as her husband, Thomas Rauch, nourished and sustained me throughout this entire project. My sister Noelle deserves special thanks for her research assistance with Ada Rehan and George Bernard Shaw letters at The University of Texas Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center. Above all I am grateful beyond measure to Donald Luke Couvillion. Not only did he freely and generously devote time to assisting me in my research, but he created computer programs that aided in the chronological organization of seemingly unending materials, typed and retyped revision after revision, proofread the text, and generally facilitated the production of the manuscript. His calm, patient manner, reassurance, and real enthusiasm under sometimes difficult circumstances greatly contributed to the successful conclusion of this s tudy. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS Volume I INTRODUCTION...........................................................vii CHAPTER 1: Early Life and Apprenticeship ( 1857-1875)................. 1 CHAPTER 2: Early Background and Training (1875-1879)................ 27 CHAPTER 3: Becoming A Comedienne (1879-1884).........................67 CHAPTER 4: Queen of Comediennes (1884-1889)........ 119 CHAPTER 5: A Rising Star (1889-1894)................................ 182 Volume II CHAPTER 6: Stardom (1894-1899)...................................... 248 CHAPTER 7: First Actress of the American Stage (1899-1916)........ 318 CHAPTER 8: America's Representative Actress........................ 376 PLATE 1: Photograph of Rehan as Psyche.............................. 384 PLATE 2: Photograph of Rehan as Jenny O'Jones.......................385 PLATE 3: Photograph of Rehan and Drew in The Railroad of Love 386 PLATE 4: Photograph of Rehan in The Country Girl................... 387 PLATE 5: Photograph of Rehan as Lady Teazle......................... 389 PLATE 6: Poster of Rehan as Rosalind................................ 396 PLATE 7: Photograph of Rehan as Rosalind............................ 397 PLATE 8: Photograph of Rehan in As You Like It......................398 PLATE 9: Photograph of Rehan as Viola............................... 399 PLATE 10: Newspaper Clipping of Rehan as Viola..................... 400 PLATE 11: Photograph of Rehan in The Taming of the Shrew...........402 PLATE 12: Photograph of Rehan as Katherine......................... 403 LIST OF WORKS CONSULTED............................................... 415 APPENDIX: Roles Played by Ada Rehan................................ 425 VITA.................................................................... 439 v ABSTRACT Although Ada Rehan (1857-1916) achieved international fame as America's representative actress, rivaling Ellen Terry during the last quarter of the nineteenth century, historians have forgotten her. After beginning in 1872 to perform with her sister, Kate, and brother-in-law, Oliver Doud Byron, in their company and, later, in Mrs. Louisa Lane Drew's Arch Street Theatre Company (1873-75), Ada moved upward to ingenue roles in Barney Macauley's company (1875-76). Then she assumed leading parts with John W. Albaugh's company (1876-79), followed by a few months supporting Fanny Davenport. Finally, she advanced to a position in one of the most prominent theatres in New York under the management of Augustin Daly, known as a "star-maker." Between 1879 and 1899 Ada earned international stardom as the leading actress in the leading theatre in America. She first gained prominence for her subtle ensemble acting as a member of Daly's "Big Four," consisting of James Lewis, Mrs. Anne Hartley Gilbert, and John Drew. In addition to the young female leads in the quartet's domestic comedies, Daly featured Ada in leading roles in seventeenth and eighhteenth-century English comedies, Pinero's contemporary British drama, melodramatic plays of Victorien Sardou and the elder and younger Dumas, and Shakespearean comedy. As she grew in popularity, the ensemble declined until John Drew's resignation from the company in 1892 ended it. The following year

The time-frame has been selected for two reasons: (1) actresses active after 1870 have been the subject of several dissertations and scholarly studies, while relatively little research has been completed on women active on the American stage prior to 1870, and (2) prior to 1850 there was limited theatre activity in this country and very few professional actresses. A general description of mid-nineteenth-century theatre and its social context is provided, including a summary of major developments in theatre in New York and other cities from 1850 to 1870, discussions of the star system, the combination company, and the mid-century audience.

Redacted Signature Instructor in charf;& Redacted Signature Sept ember, 19 50 'For tne department PREFACE In the following thesis the author has attempted to give a general,. and when deemed.essential, a specific picture of the theatre in early day Wichita. By "theatre" is meant a.11 that passed for stage entertainment in the halls and shm1 houses in the city• s infancy, principally during the 70' s and 80 1 s when the city was still very young,: up to the hey-day of the legitimate theatre which reached. its peak in the 90' s and the first ~ decade of the new century. The author has not only tried to give an over- all picture of the theatre in early day Wichita, but has attempted to show that the plays presented in the theatres of Wichita were representative of the plays and stage performances throughout the country. The years included in the research were from 1872 to 1920. There were several factors which governed the choice of these dates. First, in 1872 the city was incorporated, and in that year the first edition of the Wichita Eagle was printed. Second, after 1920 a great change began taking place in the-theatre. There were various reasons for this change.

  • Nashville Community Theatre: from the Little Theatre Guild
    NASHVILLE COMMUNITY THEATRE: FROM THE LITTLE THEATRE GUILD TO THE NASHVILLE COMMUNITY PLAYHOUSE A THESIS IN Theatre History Presented to the Faculty of the University of Missouri – Kansas City in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF ARTS by ANDREA ANDERSON B.A., Trevecca Nazarene University, 2003 Kansas City, Missouri 2012 © 2012 ANDREA JANE ANDERSON ALL RIGHTS RESERVED THE LITTLE THEATRE MOVEMENT IN NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE: THE LITTLE THEATRE GUILD AND THE NASHVILLE COMMUNITY PLAYHOUSE Andrea Jane Anderson, Candidate for the Master of Arts Degree University of Missouri - Kansas City, 2012 ABSTRACT In the early 20th century the Little Theatre Movement swept through the United States. Theatre enthusiasts in cities and towns across the country sought to raise the standards of theatrical productions by creating quality volunteer-driven theatre companies that not only entertained, but also became an integral part of the local community. This paper focuses on two such groups in the city of Nashville, Tennessee: the Little Theatre Guild of Nashville (later the Nashville Little Theatre) and the Nashville Community Playhouse. Both groups shared ties to the national movement and showed a dedication for producing the most current and relevant plays of the day. In this paper the formation, activities, and closure of both groups are discussed as well as their impact on the current generation of theatre artists. iii APPROVAL PAGE The faculty listed below, appointed by the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, have examined a thesis titled “Nashville Community Theatre: From the Little Theatre Guild to the Nashville Community Playhouse,” presented by Andrea Jane Anderson, candidate for the Master of Arts degree, and certify that in their opinion it is worthy of acceptance.

  • Shakespearean Journeys the Inaugural Conference of the Asian Shakespeare Association Taipei, 15‐17 May 2014
    2014 ASA Conference Seminar CFP 1 CALL FOR SEMINAR PAPERS Shakespearean Journeys The Inaugural Conference of the Asian Shakespeare Association Taipei, 15‐17 May 2014 By land or sea, across city and country, journeys comprise an important motif in Shakespeare’s works, be they smooth or perilous, round trip or to an undiscovered country from whose bourne no travelers return. The journeys undertaken can be physical, emotional, spiritual, or a combination. Though not in person, Shakespeare also journeys extensively, crossing not only time and space but also language, culture, and media. A most versatile and protean voyager, Shakespeare sometimes travels light and does as the locals do, yet sometimes carries heavy baggage and remains a stranger in a foreign land. “Shakespearean Journeys” aims to explore all aspects of this theme. Keynote Speakers: Peter Holbrook, University of Queensland (Australia), Chair of the International Shakespeare Association Kawachi Yoshiko, Kyorin University (Japan) Dennis Kennedy, Samuel Beckett Professor and Fellow Emeritus, Trinity College Dublin (Ireland) Lena Cowen Orlin, Georgetown University, Executive Director of the Shakespeare Association of America (USA) Perng Ching‐Hsi, Distinguished Professor Emeritus, National Taiwan University; Visiting Professor, Fu Jen Catholic University (Taiwan) Shen Lin, Central Academy of Drama (China) Special Guests: Rustom Bharucha, Jawaharlal Nehru University (India) Ing K(anjanavanit), filmmaker, journalist, painter, writer (Thailand) Nehad Selaiha, Higher Institute of Artistic Criticism, the Academy of Arts (Egypt) Live Performances: Betrayal (an adaptation of Cardenio by Rom Shing Hakka Opera Troupe from Taiwan, dir.
