    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-03517-0 - Performing the American Frontier, 1870-1906 Roger A. Hall Frontmatter More information Performing the American Frontier, 1870–1906 Performing the American Frontier, 1870–1906 examines how the American frontier was presented in theatrical productions during the critical period from the end of the Civil War to the beginning of cinema. In chronological fashion, the book explores the post-Civil War resurgence of interest in drama about the frontier, which led to a host of action-packed melodramas. From famous personages such as Mark Twain and “Buffalo Bill” Cody to lesser-known individuals such as Native American playwright and actress Gowongo Mohawk, Hall examines the plays, the players, and the playwrights who helped to define the American westward migra- tion in theatrical terms and covers the complete dramatic experience including scenery, performance, and staging.The book demonstrates the extraordinary variety of subject matter and theatrical styles used to dramatize the frontier, and places frontier drama within the context of its society by framing the productions with the contemporary debates on national policies. roger a. hall is Professor of Theatre at James Madison University, Harrisonburg, Virginia.

    Gentlemen in the White Hats

    Several years ago, the Marr Sound Archives was fortunate to have received a large collection of manuscripts, photographs, film, and transcription discs from the son of Arthur B. Church, founder and president of Kansas City’s CBS affiliated radio station KMBC. After securing funding from NEH to provide access to the collection, we began listening to and researching these recordings. Soon we were humming the Western swing music of the Texas Rangers and it became apparent that in the 30s and 40s the Rangers had become quite a franchise to Church and KMBC. They performed in: • The Big Brother Club • Flying Horse Ranch, which became Red Horse Ranch • Brush Creek Follies • Diamond City News • Nighttime on the Trail • Under Western Skies • Circle “G” Ranch • and frequently worked with Tex Owens They also went to Hollywood and performed in several films. Today we’ll give you a broad overview of the KMBC-CBS Texas Rangers--you’ll get some facts about their career, and most importantly, you’ll get to hear them perform. So who were the Texas Rangers? 1 Here, you can see our four man singing group known as the Midwesterners or The Lamp Post Four depending on which program they performed in (in this case, The Lamp Post Four on the Brush Creek Follies). That’s Arizona with the guitar--more on him later. Three of these guys were in singing groups together at the same high school in Independence MO. There were also in the same church choir and sometime in the late 20s the church choir director matched them with another young man and our quartet was formed.

Our policy information is available from the repository home page. THESIS INTRODUCTION The picture of themselves which the Victorians have handed down to us is of a people who valued morality and respectability, and, perhaps, valued the appearance of it as much as the reality. Perhaps the pursuit of the latter furthered the achievement of the former. They also valued the technological achievements and the revolution in mobility that they witnessed and substantially brought about. Not least did they value the imperial power, formal and informal, that they came to wield over vast tracts of the globe. The intention of the following study is to take these three broad themes which, in the national consciousness, are synonymous with the Victorian age, and examine their applicability to the contemporary theatre, its practitioners, and its audiences. Any capacity to undertake such an investigation rests on the reading for a Bachelor’s degree in History at Warwick, obtained when the University was still abuilding, and an innate if undisciplined attachment to things theatrical, fostered by an elder brother and sister. Such an attachment, to those who share it, will require no elaboration. My special interest will lie in observing how a given theme operated at a particular or local level.
