McConachie, Professor, Theatre Arts ii Copyright © by Michael Peter Mehler 2010 iii PERCY MACKAYE: SPATIAL FORMATIONS OF A NATIONAL CHARACTER Michael Peter Mehler, Ph.D. University of Pittsburgh, 2010 Percy MacKaye has been mostly ignored by theatre historians and dramatic critics despite the large numbers of spectators, participants, and readers who encountered his work during the first third of the twentieth century. The fifth son of nineteenth-century theatre impresario, Steele MacKaye, Percy first embarked on a career in the commercial theatre, writing for established stars such as Julia Marlowe. However, MacKaye garnered much more public attention for his endeavors into community performance, what he termed civic theatre. He wrote several treatises and delivered countless speeches advocating for the civic theatre. In 1914, at the peak of his career, MacKaye wrote and produced The Masque of Saint Louis, which incorporated thousands of community performers and drew nightly audiences that averaged nearly 100,000. This investigation of MacKaye’s works relies heavily on spatial analysis, looking at how contemporary American spaces related to the scenographic spaces in these plays and masques.

Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 1035, Lot 37.

The hearing was continued to October 19, 1982. Both hearings had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Eighty-one witnesses spoke or had statements read into the record in favor of designation. One witness spoke in opposition to designation.

Tª dels Llenguatges i CC. de la Comunicació - Universitat de València, Spain ([email protected]) Resumen Este artículo presenta un exhaustivo análisis del proceso judicial relativo al film Letty Lynton (1932), que, pese a ser un emblema del periodo clásico de Hollywood, fue prohibido en 1936, tras la denuncia de dos dramaturgos que acusaron a Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer de haber plagiado una de sus obras. El pleito evidenció una complejidad en materia de infracción del copyright que la justicia estadounidense no había afrontado hasta el momento, entre otros motivos porque la cinta partía de unos hechos reales acontecidos durante el siglo XIX y la productora había adquirido los derechos de una novela que también los relataba. Los continuos recursos y resoluciones judiciales finalizaron, tras ochos años, con el pronunciamiento del Tribunal Supremo. Esta investigación analiza con detalle el examen del caso a través del estudio de tres fuentes: los materiales literarios relacionados con el film, los pronunciamientos judiciales que generó la demanda por plagio y la cobertura periodística llevada a cabo por cuatro importantes publicaciones cinematográficas especializadas. Los resultados permiten trazar una cronología del proceso, evaluar su resonancia mediática e identificar el impacto que tuvo tanto en el ámbito de la justicia como en el de la industria de Hollywood.

  • “WHAT IF? in COPYRIGHT” by Stanley Rothenberg*
    “WHAT IF? IN COPYRIGHT” by Stanley Rothenberg* What If “Don Quixote” Had Been Copyrighted? What If Spain had a copyright law in the 1600s which protected an author’s distinctive literary characters (which it did not)?1 The answer has a significant bearing on Miguel de Cervantes’ world famous novel “Don Quixote de la Mancha,” which was first published in 1605,2 prior to the first copyright law in Europe for the protection of authors, England’s Statute of Anne passed in 1709.3 Incidentally, said statute served as the basis for the state copyright laws issued under the Articles of Confederation and the first United States copyright law, enacted in 1790.4 But getting back to Spain and Cervantes, Spain’s true copyright laws date back to 19th century laws which “were strongly influenced by the seminal French laws of 1791 and 1793, enacted during the French Revolution.”5 However, Spain did have laws requiring a Royal Privilege or license from the King’s Council (on behalf of the King) to print a book, which license was conditioned upon a reading of the book, which in the case of “The Second Part of Don Quixote de la Mancha” ascertained that “it does not contain anything contrary to the faith or good morals, but rather offers much wholesome entertainment intermingled with much moral philosophy.” The Privilege was for ten years, from March 30, 1615, and provided that “during * Mr. Rothenberg is a partner in the New York City law firm of Moses & Singer, a past president of the Copyright Society of the U.S.A., and an Adjunct Professor at Fordham Law School, teaching advanced copyright.
