  • Time in the Cosmopolitan Magazine's "Life of Charles Frohman "
    Intimate Details of the Life of One of America's 1 Most Interesting Actresses Revealed for the First Time in the Cosmopolitan Magazine's "Life of Charles Frohman " late Charles Frohman was unquestionably one of die THEgreatest theatrical managers since Shakespeare. The story of bis life is the story of the Ameri¬ can stage during its most impor¬ tant period. "The Life of Charles Frohman" is appearing serially in the COS¬ MOPOLITAN MAGAZINE, and in the May instalment is revealed in¬ timate details never before printed of the life of Maude Adams, her¬ self one of the most interesting figures in the American stage. Ex¬ cerpts from this instalment are given on this page. Printed by permission, from "The Life of Charles Frohman," by Daniel Frohman and Isaac F. Marcosson, which is continued each month in the COSMOPOL¬ ITAN MAGAZINE. FOR over a year Barrie had been at work on a play for Miss Adams. Now came his ¦whimsical satire. "What Every Woman Knows." Afterward, in speaking of this play, he said that he had written it because "there was n Maude Adams in the world." Then he added, "I could see her dancine through every page of my manuscript." Indeed, "What Every Woman Knows" was really written around Miss Adams. It «as a dramatiza¬ tion of the roguish humor and ex¬ quisite womanliness that are her peculiar gifts. As Maggie Wylie, she created a character that was a worthy col¬ league of Lady Babbie. The role opposite her, that of John Shand, the poor Fcotch boy who literallr stole knowledge, was extraordi¬ narily interesting.

Descriptive Summary Creator: Various Title: Brooklyn Theater Playbills and Programs Collection Date Span: 1875-1972 Abstract: The Brooklyn Theater Playbills and Programs Collection consists of 800 playbills and programs for motion pictures, musical concerts, high school commencement exercises, lectures, photoplays, vaudeville, and burlesque, as well as the more traditional offerings such as plays and operas, all from Brooklyn theaters. Quantity: 2.25 linear feet Location: Brooklyn Collection Map Room, cabinet 11 Repository: Brooklyn Public Library – Brooklyn Collection Reference Code: BC0071 Scope and Content Note The 800 items in the Brooklyn Theater Playbills and Programs Collection, which occupies 2.25 cubic feet, easily refute the stereotypes of Brooklyn as provincial and insular. From the late 1880s until the 1940s, the period covered by the bulk of these materials, the performing arts thrived in Brooklyn and were available to residents right at their doorsteps. At one point, there were over 200 theaters in Brooklyn. Frequented by the rich, the middle class and the working poor, they enjoyed mass popularity. With materials from 115 different theaters, the collection spans almost a century, from 1875 to 1972. The highest concentration is in the years 1890 to 1909, with approximately 450 items.

  • In No Way Disappointed: Mormon Pioneers Arza & Barnabas Adams
    IN NO WAY DISAPPOINTED Mormon Pioneers Arza & Barnabas Adams When Brigham Young led the ‘Pioneer Company’ of 72 ox-drawn wagons down Emigration Canyon and into the Great Salt Lake basin, on July 21, 1847, prominent among that vanguard of 147 Mormons was Barnabas Adams of Adamsville, Canada West (Glen Tay, Ontario). His elder brother, Arza, who was among the first Canadian missionaries of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS), joined him in the valley in 1849. Arza Matson Adams and Barnabas Lothrop Adams were, respectively, the first and fifth of 14 children born to Joshua Adams (1779-1863) and Elizabeth Chipman (1786-1856). Their father, Joshua1, a native of Vermont, arrived in Upper Canada with his parents, Richard Saxton Adams Sr. (1734-1810) and Lucy Masson Matson (1741-1805), and two married brothers, Daniel (1763-1827) and Richard Jr. (1766-1806). They first settled, over a five-year period between 1793-1798, on a 600-acre Crown grant near Stone Mills (Delta) in Bastard Township, Leeds County. Their mother Elizabeth2, also a Vermont native, arrived in Bastard Township with her extended family in 1795. Four Chipman brothers, Amos (1751-1831), Jesse (1755-1841), Barnabas (1762- 1847) and Amni Sr. (1764-1808) came to Leeds County from Connecticut, USA. The two elder brothers apparently did not like what they found and returned to the United States, but the younger brothers took up land grants. Elizabeth’s father, Barnabas, settled near Plum Hollow and Amni Sr. established a farm at Portland. Although the Adams and Chipman families were among an influx of so-called ‘late loyalists’ arriving in Upper Canada in the 1790s, they actually had little attachment to the British Crown.

  • Famous Theater Producer from Sandusky Died When the Lusitania Sank 5/5/2017 5:00 Tom Jackson, Sandusky Register
    Famous theater producer from Sandusky died when the Lusitania sank 5/5/2017 5:00 Tom Jackson, Sandusky Register A historical marker on Poplar Street, near the intersection of West Jefferson Street and Lawrence Street, gives the location of Charles Frohman's birthplace. -- Courtesy Erie County Historical Society SANDUSKY — The sinking of the ocean liner Lusitania on May 7, 1915, by a German submarine during World War I killed 1,198 people. Among the dead: Famous theater producer Charles Frohman, a Sandusky native who produced hundreds of shows in New York, London and Boston. When he died, he was a world-famous figure. After he died, funeral services were held for Frohman in New York City. But according to “Charles Frohman: Manager and Man,” a 1916 biography of Frohman, services also were held in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Tacoma, Providence and London. Many of the memorials were organized by the actors Frohman had made into stars, such as Maude Adams, John Drew and Billie Burke. (You may not recognize Burke’s name, but you’ve seen her. She was Glinda, the “Good Witch of the North,” in “The Wizard of Oz.”) The Sandusky Register ran page one articles about the tragedy 102 years ago today, in the May 8, 1915 issue, under the headline, "ONE THOUSAND THOUGHT LOST WITH LUSITANIA." (See the replica page in today's newspaper.) Frohman was born on July 15, 1856, in Sandusky, into a Jewish family, the youngest of three brothers (Gustave and Daniel also were in the theater business, and Daniel also was a movie producer).

  • Gender Production in American Acting Styles and Theatre Historiography
    Spring 1993 193 "The Sisterhood of Sweetness and Light": Gender Production in American Acting Styles and Theatre Historiography Kim Marra In 1891, Benjamin Orange Flower, editor of Arena, announced: "The era of Woman has dawned, bearing the unmistakable prophecy of a far higher civilization than humanity has ever known." He joined the chorus of voices rising up from the dominant culture with encomiums to "Our Womanhood"—"Pure and Progressive," "Cultured," "World-Conquering and Enlightened." (Beer 57-58) As national aspirations to greatness increasingly found expression in this gender ideology, representational media conspired to iconize it, fixing a presiding notion of ideal femininity indelibly in collective consciousness. Monumental sculptors like Daniel Chester French produced The Republic, America, and Alma Mater, while commercial illustrators like Charles Dana Gibson and Howard Chandler Christy proliferated images of the American Girl, a youthful, WASP, middle- to upper-middle-class construct with facial and corporeal features of pristine, neoclassic regularity.1 This was feminine perfection wrested from raw nature and Old World corruption, the supreme signifier of heroic victory in the wilderness and the moral righteousness of the American Experiment (Christy 15-16, 69-70). A primary cultural site of ideological and iconographie production, the nineteenth-century American theatre participated in the manufacture of virtuous Womanhood.2 Instead of a denizen of depravity where ladies of virtue dare not tread, the legitimate stage, especially following Anna Cora Mowatt's 1845 production of Fashion, increasingly came to be seen as a showcase for paragons of ideal femininity (Barlow xi; Hewitt 134-141). Certainly if "Our World-Conquering and Enlightened Womanhood" could purify the home, society, politics, the frontier, and benighted, regressive civilizations everywhere, she could purify the theatre.
