APRIL, 1916. SCHOOL LETTER T Is the General H E PETERITE. VoL. XXI I. APRIL, 1916. No. 222. SCHOOL LETTER T is the general custom of Editors, when writing the School Letter, to commence with the most important event, and this term pride of place must undoubtedly be accorded to the weather. The condition of the weather can be best judged from the fact that to-day is the first fine day we have had since the middle of January, a fact which caused universal acclamation. The activities of the Hockey team have naturally been greatly hampered by the rain, indeed out of 7 matches arranged 4 have had to be cancelled. Out of the three matches played, however, two have been very creditable victories, and, if only the weather clears up, the team should emerge victorious from all the remaining matches. We have received the confident assurances of the Boating authorities that in their sphere of influence the reputation of th School will be worthily maintained, and the information brought in by our spies leads us to the same conclusion. The boater being like ducks, are the only members of the School who have not been inconvenienced by the weather, and so we hope that in the boat-races, maintaining their " duck " reputation, they will simply " fly " to victory. The Corps is still continuing to do good work, although this term reminiscences of parades have been inseparably associ- ated with snow, rain, and mud, especially the latter. A minor 2 SCHOOL LETTER. field-day was held upon Friday, March 17th (an exclusive account of which, written by our special correspondent at the front, appears upon a later page), and the major and combined field- day, is due to take place upon Friday, March 24th. The band and the signallers especially deserve praise for their diligence and perseverance, although at a parade of the latter department I was rather mystified by such commands as " Let Emma go," ; however the signallers understood it and so it must be all right. The Athletic Sports have again been revived this term after a lapse of one year, and are fixed to take place upon April 4th. A few of the usual events have been scratched and in their place have been inserted team races against officers. In the ordinary events, although the School is somewhat small the times and jumps should be quite up to the average, provided of course that the weather will take up. This term we are sorry to say that we have lost Mr. Swift. He had been connected with the School for years, during which period he had always been held in high esteem by masters and boys alike. As a token of this esteem he was presented at the end of last term with a chair. To his successor, Mr. Woodcock, we extend a hearty welcome. It has long been the ambition of the Peterite Editors to provide some means of entertaining the more juvenile and lighter-minded sections of their readers, and they have come to the conclusion that a chatty Notes and Items column would be the best possible solution of this problem. The Notes and Items column in this number will be found to be a step in that direction. But as it is the result of an eleventh hour decision we would ask our readers: not to criticize, its failings too severely. But we would like to point out to our readers that the success of this enterprise really rests with them.. There must be many amusing incidents in the course of the term which never come to the ears of the editors, and so we would ask our readers in some way to communicate these occurrences to the editors. If they will do so, they may rely upon the editors to do their best. HOCKEY. 3 HOCKEY. ST. PETER'S SCHOOL v POCKLINGTON SCHOOL. Result :—School 9. Pocklington i. The School won the toss and played down hill during the first half. The forwards carried the ball into the opponents twenty-five straight away, and after a short time Wright scored with a good shot. After the bully the School again pressed and Wright scored from an excellent centre by Stainthorpe. Directly afterwards Wright scored again. This followed by an attack on the School goal, but Toyne succeeded in clearing to Yeoman who scored. Wright then scored two more goals, after which some even play followed, Jones using his hips well against a diminutive opponent. Chilman then scored from the edge of the circle. Some even play followed this until half-time. The School 7. Pocklington o. Directly after the bully-off Pocklington carried the ball over the school's 25 yards line, but scored with mud only, our back clearing the ball well. This was followed by pressure on our opponents' goal, but they were saved by perpetual off-sides, owing to the over-eagerness of our forwards. However Wright again scored. The York forwards then regained the Pocklington twenty-five, but Wright persisted in being off-side, though in a short time he succeeded in scoring again. Again the forwards took the ball into Pocklington's circle, but without success, except a shot which topped the cross-bar. Pocklington, however, soon scored from a clear by their left-back. Some even play followed when full time was blown. The School forwards showed some excellent combination and were exceedingly well backed up by the backs. Final score :—The School 9. Pocklington 1. The following composed the team :—Forwards, P. G. Russell, T. J. Wright, W. G. Yeoman, J. C. Stainthorpe, M. R. Jones ; Half-backs, A. Delittle, K. G. Chilman, W. L. Roberts ; backs, F. B. Crowther, B. D. Toyne ; Goal, R. R. Rainford. 4 BOATING. ST. PETER'S SCHOOL V. RIPON GRAMMAR SCHOOL. Result :—School 2. Ripon 6. The School lost the toss and played down-hill the first half. For the first ten minutes nothing decisive happened, but Ripon scored from a melee in the goal mouth. Shortly afterwards the Ripon forwards carried the ball the length of the field and scored for the second time. After the centre bully Ripon again carried the ball down the field unto the School's circle, but Rainford made an excellent save and Toyne cleared to Wright who took the ball down the field and scored with a brilliant shot. Half- time followed. The School. i Ripon. 2 After the centre bully the Ripon forwards again succeeded in penetrating our defence, but the School was not yet disheartened and again taking the ball into the Ripon's circle Wright score from a melee. After a short period of vain attempts at clearing by the backs, Ripon's left inside scored, and this rather demoral- ised the backs, who were beaten twice in quick succession. Play was then even for five minutes, when time was blown and the game ended with a loss for the School. The team was as follows :- Forwards, G. A. Allen, H. L. B. Bryning, T. J. Wright, J. C. Stainthorpe, M. R. Jones ; Halves, W. L. Roberts, K. G. Chilman, W. A. Yeoman ; backs, F. B. Crowther, B. D. Toyne ; goal, R. R. Rainford. ROWING NOTES. Considerable keenness has been shown this term in Boating, and the increase of numbers has enabled us to get four crews at work who ought to provide some good racing. The crews of the Tubs, which were at the beginning of the term like paralytic octopeds, have now recovered from soreness and are showing much improvement in style. Gedge, Newhouse I. and Crawshaw, SCHOOL THEATRICALS. 5 are perhaps about the best and should prove useful members of the School Boat next year. The great fault at present is that no one seems to realise that legs are more powerful than arms and that a good rower only considers his arms as connecting files between the oar and his leg and back muscles, by means of which he can guide the oar into his chest. The School Boat has got through some excellent work this term and is very ably stroked by Sergeant. The crew is quite lively and has an unlimited supply of ' guts.' Most of them are however inexperienced in racing and must be very careful not to let themselves get flurried. On no account must they look at their opponents as this is fatal to keeping good time. We are expecting great things of them in the races which are shortly coming off, in which we wish them the very best of luck. The crew of the School Boat is :- Cox, R. H. Metcalfe. Stroke, J. H. Sergeant. 3, J. M. Ferguson. 2, H. L. Walker. Bow, H. G. English. SCHOOL THEATRICALS. The School Play was again revived last term, and the experiment was undoubtedly a great success. Two perfor- mances were given upon Monday and Tuesday evenings, December loth and 21st, and, in addition to the usual dress rehearsal, a special performance for wounded soldiers upon Tuesday afternoon. The play chosen was " A Pair of Spectacles," by Sidney Grundy, but owing to the War having denuded the School of older boys, the original custom of having Masters in the caste was revived in the personages of Mr. Toyne and Mr. Barnby, whilst the ladies' parts were very kindly and also very ably taken by Mrs. B. Dodsworth and Miss Mildred Evelyn. " A Pair of Spectacles " 6 SCHOOL THEATRICALS. is a three-act play of the light sentimental class, and as its name implies the plot centres round a pair of spectacles. Benjamin Goldfinch, essentially a " dear " old man, who is the dupe of all swindlers, receives a visit from his brother Gregory, a bluff Yorkshire manufacturer, but a man whom the quest for money has hardened, and who has become distrustful of the world to an excessive degree.

  • To Center City: the Evolution of the Neighborhood of the Historicalsociety of Pennsylvania
    From "Frontier"to Center City: The Evolution of the Neighborhood of the HistoricalSociety of Pennsylvania THE HISToRICAL SOcIETY OF PENNSYLVANIA found its permanent home at 13th and Locust Streets in Philadelphia nearly 120 years ago. Prior to that time it had found temporary asylum in neighborhoods to the east, most in close proximity to the homes of its members, near landmarks such as the Old State House, and often within the bosom of such venerable organizations as the American Philosophical Society and the Athenaeum of Philadelphia. As its collections grew, however, HSP sought ever larger quarters and, inevitably, moved westward.' Its last temporary home was the so-called Picture House on the grounds of the Pennsylvania Hospital in the 800 block of Spruce Street. Constructed in 1816-17 to exhibit Benjamin West's large painting, Christ Healing the Sick, the building was leased to the Society for ten years. The Society needed not only to renovate the building for its own purposes but was required by a city ordinance to modify the existing structure to permit the widening of the street. Research by Jeffrey A. Cohen concludes that the Picture House's Gothic facade was the work of Philadelphia carpenter Samuel Webb. Its pointed windows and crenellations might have seemed appropriate to the Gothic darkness of the West painting, but West himself characterized the building as a "misapplication of Gothic Architecture to a Place where the Refinement of Science is to be inculcated, and which, in my humble opinion ought to have been founded on those dear and self-evident Principles adopted by the Greeks." Though West went so far as to make plans for 'The early history of the Historical Soiety of Pennsylvania is summarized in J.Thomas Scharf and Thompson Westcott, Hisiory ofPhiladelphia; 1609-1884 (2vols., Philadelphia, 1884), 2:1219-22.

  • The Staging of Oscar Wilde and His Contemporaries at the St
    Responding to the ‘power of attraction’: the staging of Oscar Wilde and his contemporaries at the St. James’s Theatre, 1892-1895. Lucie Sutherland Keywords: Actor-manager, George Alexander, Treasury Book, West End, Matinée, Repertoire William Archer, a cultural commentator most often associated with the promotion of dramatic naturalism, did not solely concern himself with dramatic form. He was also alert to the necessity for profit in professional theatre making, often demonstrating a concern with the economic viability of theatrical production in his writing. For example: It would of course be idle to suppose that the comparative popularity of two plays is exactly indicated by the length of their respective runs […] It is impossible, in short, without access to the books of the management, to measure with absolute precision the power of attraction exercised by any particular play.1 Archer states what theatre industry professionals and scholars of that industry know; only box office receipts can truly confirm the economic success of a production. Length of run and audience figures may be indicative, but accurate business records detailing the income generated by fee paying audience members will be the only way to ascertain the ‘power of attraction’ exercised by a piece of theatre. When Archer was writing, in the final decade of the nineteenth century, it was the role of the actor-manager to market a production as successful for the longest duration possible, frequently sustaining that production to demonstrate the ongoing prestige of the

  • Centrality, Orthodoxy and Self-Reflexivity In
    Prague Journal of English Studies Volume 1, No. 1, 2012 '2,SMHV ISSN: 1804-8722 “Our Little Parish of St. James‘s”: Centrality, Orthodoxy and Self-Reflexivity in the 1890s London Theatre Rudolf Weiss In the 1890s the London theatre was governed by the idea of centrality. is most representative and most prestigious theatrical territory was ruled by the actor-manager, the monocratic director who also played the leading roles. Moreover, he was the arbiter in matters of dramatic aesthetics, in matters of dramatic ethics as well as audience reception. Henry Arthur Jones and Arthur Wing Pinero, the most popular playwrights of the period, provided them with leading parts which reflect their managerial functions in the dramatic world: the raisonneurs in their society dramas manipulate the action, advise the other characters and represent social and moral orthodoxy. e article explores the concept of centrality in the London theatre of the 1890s on various interconnected levels – theatre management, dramatic technique, functions of the raisonneur and ideological implications of the scène à faire as well as audience structure and audience taste. A special focus is placed on the essential (self)reflexivity of this “little parish”, where the managerial structures of the mainstream theatre are mirrored in the conventional dramatic aesthetics of society drama, the predominant genre in the repertoire, which echoes the mind-set of the majority of the spectators. 1. Introduction: the authority of the actor-manager In her introductory chapter to e Cambridge Companion to Victorian and Edwardian eatre Nina Auerbach claims that all the contributions in this volume “insist on the centrality of the theatre in nineteenth-century culture; until the end of the century, its broad popularity gave its conventions the aura of universality” (4).

  • The Forces of Commerce and Capital in a Revival of Edward Bulwer-Lytton's Money
    Spring 2001 115 "The Arithmetic and Logic of Life": The Forces of Commerce and Capital in a Revival of Edward Bulwer-Lytton's Money James Fisher Though our brother is on the rack, as long as we ourselves are at our ease, our senses will never inform us of what he suffers... It is by imagination that we can form any conception of what are his sensations.1 —Adam Smith, Theory of Moral Sentiments The Vices and Virtues are written in a language the World cannot construe; it reads them in a vile translation, and the translators are FAILURE and SUCCESSl2 —Alfred Evelyn, Money, (V, III) Theatre students are frequently instructed that the vigorous and energetic theatrical world of the nineteenth century produced little drama of lasting significance prior to Henrik Ibsen's social problem plays. Most Victorian theatre was overly sentimental and melodramatic, as the cliche goes; quaint and colorful perhaps, but finally too simplistic and flatly-dimensioned for sophisticated audiences at the dawn of the twenty-first century. The era, it seems, applied its repressions too fiercely for dramatists to delve below the surface of human experience, hindering serious questioning of prevailing values. The naive moralizing and stereotypical characters of this period made for a barren dramatic age. The condescension directed at nineteenth century drama also results from another presumed hindrance. These supposedly unwatchable plays are often multi- scene works requiring large casts and are, as such, too daunting in scope for even the most adventurous of directors and producing organizations. Published scripts of many nineteenth century plays can be difficult (if not impossible) to locate; James Fisher, Professor of Theater at Wabash College, has authored five books, including The Theater of Tony Kushner: Living Past Hope (NY: Routledge, 2001), and has published articles and reviews in numerous periodicals.
