  • The North of England in British Wartime Film, 1941 to 1946. Alan
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by CLoK The North of England in British Wartime Film, 1941 to 1946. Alan Hughes, University of Central Lancashire The North of England is a place-myth as much as a material reality. Conceptually it exists as the location where the economic, political, sociological, as well as climatological and geomorphological, phenomena particular to the region are reified into a set of socio-cultural qualities that serve to define it as different to conceptualisations of England and ‘Englishness’. Whilst the abstract nature of such a construction means that the geographical boundaries of the North are implicitly ill-defined, for ease of reference, and to maintain objectivity in defining individual texts as Northern films, this paper will adhere to the notion of a ‘seven county North’ (i.e. the pre-1974 counties of Cumberland, Westmorland, Northumberland, County Durham, Lancashire, Yorkshire, and Cheshire) that is increasingly being used as the geographical template for the North of England within social and cultural history.1 The British film industry in 1941 As 1940 drew to a close in Britain any memories of the phoney war of the spring of that year were likely to seem but distant recollections of a bygone age long dispersed by the brutal realities of the conflict. Outside of the immediate theatres of conflict the domestic industries that had catered for the demands of an increasingly affluent and consuming population were orientated towards the needs of a war economy as plant, machinery, and labour shifted into war production.

    THE THEATRICAL HISTORY OF WICHITA, KANSAS ' I 1872 - 1920 by Patricia Ann Mather A.B., University __of Wichita, 1945 Submitted to the Department of Speech and Drama and the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. 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.

  • Some Persons Unknown by E
    1 SOME PERSONS UNKNOWN BY E. W. HORNUNG NEW YORK CHARLES SCRIBNER'S SONS 1898 COPYRIGHT, 1898, BY CHARLES SCRIBNER'S SONS TROW DIRECTORY PRINTING AND BOOKBINDING COMPANY NEW YORK KENYON'S INNINGS I Kenyon had been more unmanageable than usual. Unsettled and excitable from the moment he awoke and remembered who was coming in the evening, he had remained in an unsafe state all day. That evening found him with unbroken bones was a miracle to Ethel his sister, and to his great friend John, the under-gardener. Poor Ethel was in charge; and sole charge of Kenyon, who was eleven, was no light matter for a girl with her hair still down. Her brother was a handful at most times; to-day he would have filled some pairs of stronger hands than Ethel's. They had begun the morning together, with snob-cricket, as the small boy called it; but Kenyon had been rather rude over it, and Ethel had retired. She soon regretted this step; it had made him reckless; he had spent the most dangerous day. Kenyon delighted in danger. He had a mania for walking round the entire premises on the garden wall, which was high enough to kill him if he fell, and for clambering over the greenhouses, which offered a still more fascinating risk. Not only had he done both this morning, he had gone so far as to straddle a gable of the house itself, shrieking good-tempered insults at Ethel, who appealed to him with tears and entreaties from the lawn below.

  • Regulatory Compliance Guide, Or RCG, Is a Companion Piece to the Chapter 6400 Regulations; It Should Be Used Along with the Regulations, Not Instead of Them
    Office of Developmental Programs REGULATORY COMPLIANCE A Tool for Community Home Regulators, Operators, and GUIDE Stakeholders 55 Pa.Code Chapter 6400 Community Homes for Individuals with an Intellectual Disability or Autism February 3, 2020 Edition Introduction What is this guide, and why do I need it? 55 Pa.Code Ch. 6400 (Relating to Community Homes for Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities or Autism) establishes the minimum requirements to operate a community home for individuals with intellectual disabilities or autism in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The Regulatory Compliance Guide, or RCG, is a companion piece to the Chapter 6400 regulations; it should be used along with the regulations, not instead of them. The explanatory material in this guide is not meant to be “new regulations” or to extend meaning of the regulations beyond their original intent. In most cases, the regulations speak for themselves. There are, however, some regulations that require additional clarification. Even when the meaning of a regulation is very clear, the purpose and intent of the regulation may not be. There are also different ways to measure regulatory compliance, and both operators and licensing staffs need to know how compliance will be determined. This guide is meant to help operators and licensing staffs better understand and apply the regulations. This guide has been developed to provide clear explanations of the regulatory requirements of Chapter 6400 to help providers provide safe environments and effective services to individuals through regulatory compliance, and to help regulators protect individuals by conducting consistent and comprehensive inspections. It provides a detailed explanation of each regulatory requirement, including expectations for compliance, guidelines for measuring compliance, and the primary purpose for the requirement.

  • Discovering Erik Chisholm by John France Introduction the Exciting
    Discovering Erik Chisholm by John France Introduction The exciting new release from Hyperion Records of Erik Chisholm’s orchestral music is an excellent introduction to the music of a composer once described by Arnold Bax as “the most progressive composer that Scotland has ever produced”. Despite many subsequent advanced Scottish composers such Thea Musgrave, Iain Hamilton and James MacMillan, this opinion, I believe, holds good to this day. Chisholm was a great innovator as well as a synthesiser. His main achievement was the fusion of Scottish Bag Pipe Music and Hindustani Ragas with mainstream European modernism. In this sense, he mirrors Bartok’s success in assimilating the music of the Balkans to his own genius. Listeners will discover in Erik Chisholm a composer who is bursting with energy, conscious of his own unique voice and commanding a wide-ranging palette that successfully coheres, despite the seeming disparities of styles and musical influences. This new CD cements the “Chisholm Triangle” of influences in listeners’ minds: Scottish, Hindustani and Modernist. Life and Times There are now several helpful sources for establishing a biographical understanding of the composer’s life and achievement. The easiest to access are the excellent webpages maintained by the Erik Chisholm Trust. John Purser’s Chasing a Restless Music: Erik Chisholm: Scottish Modernist 1904-1965, (Boydell and Brewer, 2009) is more detailed and makes essential reading. There are the usual references in the various musical dictionaries, and the inevitable Wikipedia entry. Erik Chisholm was born on 4 January 1904 at 2 Balmoral Villas in Cathcart, an attractive suburb of Glasgow.

  • The Irish Ring Cycle & Its Victorian Popularity Jerry Nolan the Irish Ring Entered the British Musical Repertoire As a Resul
    The Irish Ring Cycle & its Victorian Popularity Jerry Nolan The Irish Ring entered the British musical repertoire as a result of the practice of Victorian operatic companies, who often presented three very popular operettas in sequence, during the last quarter of the nineteenth century. At first, the sequence was known as the English Ring, but gradually it became better known as the Irish Ring. The operettas brought together were Michael William Balfe’s The Bohemian Girl, William Vincent Wallace’s Maritana and Julius Benedict’s The Lily of Killarney. The composers of these works never envisaged anything like such a Ring Cycle, which nevertheless became popular with music-lovers in opera houses throughout the world, and continued to be frequently performed in Britain into the twentieth century by companies like the Carl Rosa Opera Company. The Bohemian Girl was first produced at Drury Lane Theatre on November 27, 1843 when Julius Benedict was the musical director there and had invited Michael William Balfe, a much travelled Dubliner, to conduct the first performance with stage direction by Alfred Bunn. Balfe’s operetta, using the bare bones of a story which can be traced back to Cervantes, was given a hurried and somewhat misleading title because the heroine was an Austrian who had been raised as a gypsy, a fact which the English title obscures with its mistranslation of the French term ‘bohemienne’, which means ‘Gypsy Girl’, (although the operetta’s setting was, indeed, Bohemia). In spite of some harsh reviews from the London critics, The Bohemian Girl ran for more than a hundred performances and that 1 success was quickly followed by German, Italian and French performances which ensured the European-wide and American popularity of The Bohemian Girl.

  • George Musgrove
    GEORGE MUSGROVE George Musgrove worked briefly for W.S. Lyster before finding success as a producer in 1880 with Offenbach’s Tambour Major (Melbourne Opera House). With J.C. Williamson and Arthur Garner he ran the most successful theatrical firm in the Antipodes during the 1880s, and between 1892 and 1899 was a partner in Williamson and Musgrove (running the UK end of the business). He continued to produce shows in England and Australia until 1914. Musgrove was also closely associated with Australian actress/singer, Nellie Stewart. George Musgrove was born at Surbiton on Thames, England, on 21 January 1854. His mother, Fanny Hodson, was an actress related to the Kemble family, and was a sister of Georgina Hodson (who married W.S. Lyster) and Henrietta Hodson (a well known London actress). Musgrove came to Australia at age 12 with his parents and was educated at the Flinders School, Geelong, Victoria. After completing his schooling he took up a position as Lyster's treasurer before returning briefly to England in 1879. Back in Australia the following year Musgrove staged a remarkable production of Offenbach's La Fille du Tambour Major at the Melbourne Opera House. The record run of 101 performances effectively established his reputation as an entrepreneur eventually led to him becoming part of the Australian theatrical "triumvirate," Williamson, Garner and Musgrove. Source: Nellie Stewart My Life's Story (1923), 242. J. C. Williamson, Arthur Garner and George Musgrove joined forces in July 1882 to lease the Theatres Royal in Melbourne and Sydney. By the mid to late-1880s, the partnership had established itself as the leading Australian- based theatrical organisation of the era.
