B IT- PREFACE The present volume will, it is hoped, be found to contain a selection of Sacred Poetry, of such a character as can be placed with profit and pleasure in the hands of intelligent children from eight to fourteen years of age, both on Sundays and at other times. It may be well for the Compiler to make some remarks upon the principles which have been adopted in the present selection. Dr. Johnson has said that " the word Sacred should never be applied but where some reference may be made to a higher Being, or where some duty is exacted, or implied." The Compiler be lieves she has selected few poems whose insertion may not be justified by this definition, though several perhaps may not be of such a nature as are popularly termed sacred. Those which appear under the division of the Incarnate Word, and of Praise, and Prayer, are of course in some cases directly hymns, and in all cases founded upon the great doctrines of the Christian faith, or upon the events of the Redeemer's life.

  • ANTA Theater and the Proposed Designation of the Related Landmark Site (Item No
    Landmarks Preservation Commission August 6, 1985; Designation List 182 l.P-1309 ANTA THFATER (originally Guild Theater, noN Virginia Theater), 243-259 West 52nd Street, Manhattan. Built 1924-25; architects, Crane & Franzheim. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 1024, Lot 7. On June 14 and 15, 1982, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the ANTA Theater and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 5). The hearing was continued to October 19, 1982. Both hearings had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Eighty-three witnesses spoke in favor of designation. Two witnesses spoke in opposition to designation. The owner, with his representatives, appeared at the hearing, and indicated that he had not formulated an opinion regarding designation. The Commission has received many letters and other expressions of support in favor of this designation. DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS The ANTA Theater survives today as one of the historic theaters that symbolize American theater for both New York and the nation. Built in the 1924-25, the ANTA was constructed for the Theater Guild as a subscription playhouse, named the Guild Theater. The fourrling Guild members, including actors, playwrights, designers, attorneys and bankers, formed the Theater Guild to present high quality plays which they believed would be artistically superior to the current offerings of the commercial Broadway houses. More than just an auditorium, however, the Guild Theater was designed to be a theater resource center, with classrooms, studios, and a library. The theater also included the rrost up-to-date staging technology.

  • Ronald Davis Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts
    Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts in America Southern Methodist University The Southern Methodist University Oral History Program was begun in 1972 and is part of the University’s DeGolyer Institute for American Studies. The goal is to gather primary source material for future writers and cultural historians on all branches of the performing arts- opera, ballet, the concert stage, theatre, films, radio, television, burlesque, vaudeville, popular music, jazz, the circus, and miscellaneous amateur and local productions. The Collection is particularly strong, however, in the areas of motion pictures and popular music and includes interviews with celebrated performers as well as a wide variety of behind-the-scenes personnel, several of whom are now deceased. Most interviews are biographical in nature although some are focused exclusively on a single topic of historical importance. The Program aims at balancing national developments with examples from local history. Interviews with members of the Dallas Little Theatre, therefore, serve to illustrate a nation-wide movement, while film exhibition across the country is exemplified by the Interstate Theater Circuit of Texas. The interviews have all been conducted by trained historians, who attempt to view artistic achievements against a broad social and cultural backdrop. Many of the persons interviewed, because of educational limitations or various extenuating circumstances, would never write down their experiences, and therefore valuable information on our nation’s cultural heritage would be lost if it were not for the S.M.U. Oral History Program. Interviewees are selected on the strength of (1) their contribution to the performing arts in America, (2) their unique position in a given art form, and (3) availability.

Oklahoma!’s Tryouts in New Haven and Boston Ⅳ. Oklahoma! on Broadway Ⅴ. Shaping The American Audience Ⅵ. The Embodiment of Patriotic Strategy VII. Conclusion Ⅰ. Introduction American musical theatre is considered to be a major American contribution to world theatre. From Oscar G. Brockett to Stacy E. Wolf, most theatre historians agree that musical theatre has played a significant role in the history of American theatre. Nonetheless, it had been dismissed in the narrative of American theatre history, and only recently has it been mentioned in theatre history books. When historians and scholars write about the important moments in musical theatre, it is inevitable to mention the musicals of Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II to talk about the elements and the new forms they offered; Oklahoma! has been taken 4 영미연구 제34집 up as a scholarly subject and used as a category in the periodization of American musical theatre―known as the golden age (1943-1968)1) and the beginning of the “integrated” musical.2) Recent historians have re-shifted conversations about musical theatre scholarship and representation by interrogating the musicals of Rodgers and Hammerstein from a different lens. However, not much is known about how the duo shaped the American audience. In what follows, this study demonstrates how Rodgers and Hammerstein shaped the American audience in Oklahoma! through calculated media management and consciously planned deployment of patriotic strategy embedded within the show in respond to the cultural and historical context of the 1930s and early 1940s, and ultimately, my research explores how the collaborators are constructed as an all-American brand.

    PANDOSTO; THE TRIUMPH OF TIME 1 ________________________________________________________________________ PANDOSTO The Triumph of Time Wherein is discovered by a pleasant history that, although by the means of sinister fortune truth may be concealed, yet by time, in spite of fortune, it is most manifestly revealed. Pleasant for age to avoid drowsy thoughts, profitable for youth to eschew other wanton pastimes, and bringing to both a desired content. Temporis filia veritas. By Robert Greene, Master of Arts in Cambridge. Omne tulit punctum qui miscuit vtile dulci. Imprinted at London by Thomas Orwin for Thomas Cadman, dwelling at the sign of the Bible near unto the north door of Paul’s. 1588 Modern spelling transcript copyright 1998 Nina Green All Rights Reserved PANDOSTO; THE TRIUMPH OF TIME 2 ________________________________________________________________________ To the gentlemen readers, health. The paltering poet Aphranius, being blamed for troubling ye Emperor Trajan with so many doting poems, adventured notwithstanding still to present him with rude and homely verses, excusing himself with the courtesy of ye Emperor, which did as friendly accept as he fondly offered. So, gentlemen, if any condemn my rashness for troubling your ears with so many unlearned pamphlets, I will straight shroud myself under the shadow of your courtesies, & with Aphranius lay the blame on you as well for friendly reading them as on myself for fondly penning them, hoping though fond curious, or rather currish, backbiters breathe out slanderous speeches, yet the courteous readers (whom I fear to offend) will requite my travail, at the least with silence, and in this hope I rest, wishing you health and happiness.

  • SORROW the Shimmering Shadow of a Songless Life the Feeling of Death
    AUSTRALIA I ran tirelessly Barefoot Throughout the long dry grasses That whipped carelessly against my legs The day was warm from The golden sun Which bathed the pastures in light From its throne in the blue, unclouded sky. I remembered the city: The harsh silhouettes of fuming chimneys Pointed To the dingy sky The suburban streets, lined with Identical houses And awkward, stunted trees. Each street filled with Identical people. No, today I would forget the veils of the city. I would store away the riches of the countryside In my mind To remember later. As I ran on, I came across A gum tree I sniffed its pleasant aroma It was blackened at the bottom Charred by a cruel fire, but it had grown Upwards, into the sun I stood and watched it Then ran on. M. Ablitt II H The old man. Blue serge shirt. Gnarled and wrinkled. Back bent, Under the strain of hard labour. He stands against time Wind beats the valleys, and crevices, of the face, that has known so much. He has seen men come, and go. He has seen the promise of gold lure, and destroy. He has known the madness, the joy, SORROW of a strike. The shimmering shadow He has felt the pain, of a songless life the disappointment, The feeling of death of failure. like a plunge of a knife But still he works on for perhaps, The dew is like a tiger's tears beneath the ground he stands on flowing in tide through time and years the fabulous yellow stone The flower I touch withers and dies lurks, hidden.
