  • Mitchell Brothers – Vaudeville and Western
    Vaudeville and the Last Encore By Marlene Mitchell February, 1992 William Mitchell, his wife Pearl Mitchell, and John Mitchell 1 Vaudeville and the Last Encore By Marlene Mitchell February, 1992 Vaudeville was a favorite pastime for individuals seeking clean entertainment during the early part of the 20th century. The era of vaudeville was relatively short because of the creation of new technology. Vaudeville began around 1881 and began to fade in the early 1930s.1 The term vaudeville originated in France.2 It is thought that the term vaudeville was from “Old French vaudevire, short for chanson du Vaux de Vire, which meant popular satirical songs that were composed and presented during the 15th century in the valleys or vaux near the French town of Vire in the province of Normandy.”3 How did vaudeville begin? What was vaude- ville’s purpose and what caused its eventual collapse? This paper addresses the phenomenon of vaudeville — its rise, its stable but short lifetime, and its demise. Vaudeville was an outgrowth of the Industrial Revolution, which provided jobs for peo- ple and put money in their pockets.4 Because of increased incomes, individuals began to desire and seek clean, family entertainment.5 This desire was first satisfied by Tony Pastor, who is known as the “father of vaudeville.”6 In 1881 Pastor opened “Tony Pastor’s New Fourteenth Street Theatre” and began offering what he called variety entertainment.7 Later B. F. Keith, who is called the “founder of vaudeville,” opened a theater in Boston and expanded on Pastor’s original variety concept.8 Keith was the first to use the term “vaudeville” when he opened his theater in Boston in 1894.9 Keith later joined with E.

  • EDDIE LANG – the FORMATIVE YEARS, 1902-1925 by Nick Dellow
    167 Eddie Lang Part One_Layout 1 05/09/2013 12:07 Page 1 EDDIE LANG – THE FORMATIVE YEARS, 1902-1925 By Nick Dellow Jazz musicians who live short lives often leave the deepest impressions. There is something about their immutable youth, echoed through the sound of distant recordings, that encapsulates the spirit of jazz. One thinks of Bix and Bubber, Murray and Teschemacher, and Lang and Christian. Of these, guitarist Eddie Lang left the largest recorded testament, spanning jazz, blues and popular music generally. Whether his guitar was imparting a rich chordal support for other instrumentalists, driving jazz and dance bands with rhythmic propulsion, or providing a sensitive backing for a variety of singers, Lang’s influence was pervasive. Django Reinhardt once said that Eddie Lang helped him to find his own way in music. Like his contemporary Bix Beiderbecke, Lang’s defining role as a musician was acknowledged early on in his career, and has been venerated ever since. As is often the case with musicians who are prolific, there are gaps in our knowledge. This article attempts to address some of these, with particular attention being paid to Lang’s early career. In the second part of the article the Mound City Blue Blowers’ visit to London in 1925 is discussed in detail, and possible recordings that Lang made during the band’s engagement at the Piccadilly Hotel are outlined and assessed. More generally, Lang’s importance as a guitarist is set in context against the background of the guitar’s role in early jazz and dance music.

  • ALLA CORRENTE Dominic Dimaggio
    ALLA CORRENTE Dominic DiMaggio With the continuing exhibit at the Museo Italo Americano that closes on November 25, 2012, entitled Italian Americans At Bat: From Sand Lots to the Major Leagues, (I highly recommend that you see it) and with the baseball season about to enter into the playoffs and World Series, I thought it would be fun to devote another “Alla Corrente” article to famous Italian-American ballplayers; this time to the only DiMaggio ballplayer born in San Francisco. We’ll also move away from earlier “Alla Corrente” articles which dealt with the NY Yankees and focus on one of the great players of their fierce rival: Dom DiMaggio of the Boston Red Sox. Dominic Paul DiMaggio, the youngest of nine children, was born on February 12, 1917, in San Francisco and grew up in a typical working-class home at 2047 Taylor Street in the North Beach-Telegraph Hill section. Dom and brother Joe used to sell newspapers in downtown San Francisco on the corner of Sutter and Sansome Streets. The patriarch of the clan, Giuseppe DiMaggio, was a hard- working fisherman from Sicily who spoke little English. He believed playing baseball to be frivolous and in violation of his code of a strong work ethic. Their mother, Rosalee, a former schoolteacher, covered for the boys so that they could play baseball. Three of the DiMaggio brothers, Joe, Vince, and Dom, went on to play center field in the major leagues, and it was said of the brothers that Joe was the best hitter, Dom had the best arm, and Vince, who had aspirations to become an opera singer, had the best voice.

  • Lou Gehrig the Last Time Lou Gehrig’S Name Appeared in a Baseball Box Score
    A Schott From The Bleachers Lou Gehrig The Last Time Lou Gehrig’s Name Appeared in a Baseball Box Score by Arthur O. Schott The following are excerpts from the Kansas City Times covering the game of Monday, June 12, 1939 – an exhibition contest at Kansas City. This was the last time Lou Gehrig’s name appeared in a baseball box score. “And all the Yankee notables performed at least for part of the game. The starting lineup found Joe DiMaggio playing in center, Bill Dickey behind the bat and Frank Crosetti at short. You even found the venerable Lou Gehrig, most popular of all the Yankees, at first base. “Lou played by popular demand. He hadn’t intended to play at all, but Lou is an obliging fellow and so he accommodated. After taking one turn at the bat in the second, when he grounded to Priddy, he retired in favor of Babe Dahlgren. But he had shown himself and the crowd roared to his name. “Vance pushed a hit past the slow-moving Gehrig and McCullough scored. “Lou Gehrig remained here and leaves this morning for the Mayo clinic at Rochester, Minn., where the veteran intends to undergo a physical examination. “Gehrig made his first appearance in a game since he dropped out of the Yankee line-up May 2. He was given a great hand when he came to bat in the third.” At Kansas City, June 12, 1939 NEW YORK AB H PO A KANSAS CITY AB H PO A Frankie Crosetti, ss 2 1 1 3 Johnny Sturm, 1b 4 0 14 1 Bill Knickerbocker, ss 2 0 2 3 Phil Rizzuto, ss 4 0 1 4 Red Rolfe, 3b 4 1 1 1 Bill Matheson, lf 4 1 2 0 Tommy Henrich, rf 4 1 4 0 Vince DiMaggio, cf 3 1 1 0 Joe DiMaggio, cf 3 0 0 0 Jerry Priddy, 2b 4 1 3 9 Jake Powell, cf 1 0 2 0 Bud Metheny, rf 4 0 1 0 Bill Dickey, c 1 0 0 0 Bill Hitchcock, 3b 3 1 1 1 Buddy Rosar, c 3 1 3 1 Clyde McCullough, c 3 1 3 1 Charlie Keller, lf 4 2 2 0 Joe Vance, p 2 1 1 1 Joe Gordon, 2b 3 0 4 4 a – Jack Saltzgaver 1 0 0 0 Lou Gehrig, 1b 1 0 4 0 Frank Makosky, p 0 0 0 1 Babe Dahlgren, 1b 3 3 4 0 Steve Sundra, p 4 0 0 3 Totals .
