  • U DX304 Hull Theatre Programmes 1924-1947
    Hull History Centre: Hull Theatre Programmes U DX304 Hull Theatre Programmes 1924-1947 Historical Background: The earliest records of theatres in Hull date from the 1760s, although there was a theatre on Lowgate in the early eighteenth century. In 1768, a New Theatre was built, which became the Theatre Royal, a name which was to be passed on to a whole series of theatres in Hull, until the beginning of the twentieth century. The current New Theatre originates from the Little Theatre, which was run from the Lecture Hall in Kingston Square. The Little Theatre Company bought the Hall in 1930. They then acquired the Assembly Rooms in 1939, which were then converted to the New Theatre. The Theatre was bought by a London company in 1951, and was sold to the Corporation in 1961. A brief history of other Hull Theatres can be found in the History Centre searchroom 'Useful Information' file. Custodial history: Donated by Mr W E Harrop of Park Avenue, Hull via Professor Michael Walton Description: This collection includes runs of programmes for the following theatres Hull Repertory Theatre (1928-1933), The Little Theatre (1933-1939), Hull New Theatre (1939-1947), Hull Palace (1930), Playgoers' Theatre, 1930-1933) and Alexandra Theatre (1932-1934) Arrangement: U DX304/1-66 Hull Repertory Theatre, 1928 - 1933 U DX304/67-132 The Little Theatre, 1933 - 1939 U DX304/133-176 Hull New Theatre, 1939 - 1947 U DX304/177-178 Hull Palace, 1930 U DX304/179-182 Playgoers' Theatre, 1930 - 1933 U DX304/183-186 Alexandra Theatre, 1932 - 1934 Extent: 186 items Related material: U DTP, Theatre Playbills Collection (1760s-1970s).

    1920 1 MEDORAH London run: Alhambra, January 22 nd – March 13 th (60 performances) Music: Vada Ennem Book & Lyrics Denn Spranklin English adaptation: Rupert Hazell English lyrics : Adrian Ross Additional numbers : John Ansell Director: E. Dagnell Choreographer: Will Bishop Musical Director : John Anstell Cast: Leo Stormont ( Sultan), Ada Reeve (Medorah), W.S. Percy ( Dadoolah), Jamieson Dodds (Vernon Grant ), Leslie Stiles ( Ambassador Manston), Margaret Campbell ( Mrs Manston) Songs: Tomorrow’s Another Day, There’s Always a Drawback, Like a Dream. Wonderful Joy, Hope Again, Love and My Soul Alone Story: In Caravanistan beauty is measured in physical bulk, the heavier the better. The Sultan’s eldest daughter, Medorah, is thin, too thin to be an eligible bride. Chancellor Dadoolah suggests she is sent to America for the purposes of putting on weight – a suggestion that delights her because she has fallen in love with Vernon Grant, the man who accompanied the American ambassador and his wife to a reception in the Sultan’s palace. They meet again in Washington, and when she is summoned back to Caravanistan , Vernon secretly follows. Meantime, after various adventures, Vernon is captured and forced to work as a slave in the Sultan’s household. With no hope of marrying his underweight daughter to a prince, the Sultan condemns her to marry his new slave – and thus Medorah and Vernon are happily united. Notes: The original publicity declared that “Medorah” was jointly produced by Mr. Bernard J. Hishin and Sir Oswald Stoll, but within a week of opening, the show was subject to a legal dispute in the Court of Chancery, with Violet Melnotte claiming (and winning) half-ownership in the copyright of the English version of this Dutch original.

Miscellaneous Extracts 106 2 19.3.76 INTRO: THE STOVOLD FAMILY IN SURREY I have searched many old church registers, both of Elstead and Farnham, of baptisms and marriages to trace the family history in Surrey. The name Stovold appears more than any other. I have only dealt with one branch which appears to be a direct male line. The last six generations contain the name Frederick and the dates of birth are fairly authentic. Earlier registers may refer to baptisms or dates of birth, it is not always clear. One Christian name, the same as the father’s, made things more difficult. The family could be of Scandinavian origin. It is thought they may have come over at the time of the Vikings in the Ninth Century and, in fact, before the First War my Great Uncle Percy traced the name back to the time of William the Conqueror.

Season Community Friend: Cadboro Bay Village Director's Notes Why does a director choose a particular play to direct? Well, not all directors are so lucky as to be able to choose. Most may be asked to direct a play already chosen; it may even be cast for them. I was lucky. Not only was I able to choose Rookery Nook and cast it, but I’ve had the support of colleagues throughout. Before I came to the University of Victoria in 1973, Rookery Nook was one of the first plays I worked on professionally in England, so it seems appropriate at this stage in my career to direct it.

  • Rookery Nook (1930)
    The 19th British Silent Film Festival Rookery Nook (1930) Thursday 14 September, 9am Introduced by Geoff Brown 76 mins, UK, 1930, sound, Genre: Comedy / Stage farce Production companies: British & Dominions Film Corporation / The Gramophone Company, “His Master’s Voice” Directed by: Tom Walls Producer: Herbert Wilcox Supervised by: Byron Haskin Screenplay: Ben Travers, W.P. Lipscombe based on the novel (1923) an play (1926) by Ben Travers Photography: Freddie Young Editor: Maclean Rogers Art Director: Clifford Pember Sound: A.W. Watkins Studio: British and Dominions Studios The Aldwych Farces were a series of 12 comedies that ran in the Aldwych Theatre London between 1923 and 1933. Mostly written by Ben Travers, they were characterised by clever word play Cast: Ralph Lynn (Gerald Popkiss), Tom Walls (Clive Popkiss), Winifred Shotter (Rhoda Marley), Mary Brough (Mrs Leverett),Robertson Hare (Harold Twine), Ethel Coleridge (Gertrude Twine), Griffith Humphreys (Putz), Doreen Bendix (Poppy Dickey), Margot Graham (Clara Popkiss). The Bioscope, 12 February 1930, p.29: IN BRIEF: Brilliant adaptation of Ben Travers’ enormously successful farce, excellently played by the members of the original cast. Plot: A young married man goes to a country cottage for a rest-cure, where he has to give shelter to a pretty girl who wanders in clad in pyjamas and tells a piteous story. Gerald’s sister-in-law, and later on his wife, discover the intrusion and make a great deal of trouble. Gerald is saved by the action of a friend who is glad to take the girl under his own care. Comment: This delightful comedy, which had such a successful run at the Aldwych Theatre, has been adapted to the screen with perfect success, and with the original cast is certainly the most amusing farce that has yet been shown on the screen.

On the Cover : Bette Davis and Errol Flynn in “ The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex." r think most cinemagoers favour the idea of the revival of favourite films, for to those who saw the originals there are the memories of the past and also comparisons between the old produc- tions and the new, particularly in respect to those that have been made both as a silent and a talkie. To the newer generation of the cinema public there is interest in comparing the old-time screen stones with the modem ones. “ ” To be technically correct, revival is not the right word, for the old favourites are re-made, but in the majority of cases the original film is not altered to any great extent so far as the story is concerned, though the introduction of spoken dialogue must necessarily be more expensive them that recorded by the printed sub-title of the silent picture. On the whole, the re-making of popular pictures is done so well that it is deserving of the highest praise, but there is one criticism I have to make. I think it is a great mistake to alter the original title. Take a person who saw the original film passing by a cinema which is showing a revival under a new title. There is nothing to indicate that this is a new version of an old favourite, and such a person might well walk on to another cinema, missing what would have been a real treat.

  • British Musicals and Comedies Open at the Museum of Modern Art December 20
    The Museum of Modern Art For Immediate Release December 1985 BRITISH MUSICALS AND COMEDIES OPEN AT THE MUSEUM OF MODERN ART DECEMBER 20 Farce and dry wit, streetsong and operetta characterize the wide range of the more than fifty British films to be screened in the exhibition "The Musical and Comedy Tradition" at The Museum of Modern Art. The series opens Friday, December 20, with two Gracie Fields musical comedies, Sally in Our Alley (1931) and Sing as We Go (1934), at 2:30 p.m., and Alfred Hitchcock's silent film Champagne (1928), starring Betty Balfour, at 6:00 p.m., and continues through February 18, 1986. The films in "The Musical and Comedy Tradition," the third of the five sections of the ongoing series BRITISH FILM- TRADITIONS, will be shown chronologically (complete schedule attached). The works in the program reflect the strong influence of the British music hall. Among the music hall performers besides Gracie Fields who made the transition to film and are represented in the exhibition are George Formby (Keep Your Seats Please, No Limit), Max Miller (Hoots Mon!), Will Hay (Oh, Mr. Porter!), Jessie Matthews (It's Love Again, Evergreen), Jack Hulbert and Cicely Courtneidge (Elstree Calling), and Sid Field (London Town). A Victorian music hall is the subject of Alberto Cavalcanti's Champagne Charlie (1944). Thomas Bentley's Harmony Heaven (1930) and Walter Summers's Raise the Roof (1930), which will be featured on a double bill, are early backstage musicals, as is Victor Saville's Evergreen (1934). The music hall tradition has helped to define British comedy.
