Prompt – Phillip Street Theatre COLLECTION FINDING AID Phillip Street Theatre Performing Arts Programs and Ephemera (PROMPT) Australian Collection Development The Phillip Street Theatre (succeeded by the Phillip Theatre) was a popular and influential commercial Sydney theatre and theatrical company of the 1950s and 1960s that became well known for its intimate satirical revue productions. William Orr was the company’s founding Director of Productions, and Eric Duckworth was General Manager. After taking over the Mercury Theatre in Phillip Street, William Orr re- opened it as the Phillip Street Theatre in 1954, presenting a series of “Phillip Street Revues” and children's musicals, including Top of the Bill and Hit and Run (both 1954), Willow Pattern Plate (1957), Cross Section (1957-58), Ride on a Broomstick (1959), Mistress Money (1960). These featured many noted Australian performers, many who later went on to become well known film, theatre and television personalities, including Gordon Chater, Margot Lee, Barry Creighton, Jill Perryman, Noeline Brown, Robina Beard, Judi Farr, Kevin Miles, Charles "Bud" Tingwell, Ray Barrett, Ruth Cracknell, June Salter, John Meillon, Barry Humphries, Reg Livermore, Peter Phelps, and Gloria Dawn. The Phillip Street Theatre was demolished at the time of Out on a Limb with Bobby Limb and Dawn Lake in 1961, and the Company moved to the Australian Hall at 150 Elizabeth Street, near Liverpool Street. The company's name was then shortened to the Phillip Theatre in recognition of this move. Printed materials in the PROMPT collection include programs and printed ephemera such as brochures, leaflets, tickets, etc. Theatre programs are taken as the prime documentary evidence of a performance at the Phillip Street Theatre. In a few cases however, the only evidence of a performance is a piece of printed ephemera. In these cases the type of piece is identified, e.g. brochure. The list is based on imperfect holdings and is updated as gaps in the Library’s holdings are filled.

Signature of Student: Date: 12 August 2014 3 INTRODUCTION Alf Pollard’s contribution to the business history of Australia is as yet unwritten—both as a biography of the man himself, but also his singular, albeit often quiet, achievements. He helped to shape the business world in which he operated and, in parallel, made outstanding contributions to Australian society. Cultural deprivation theory tells us that people who are working class have themselves to blame for the failure of their children in education1 and Alf was certainly from a low socio-economic, indeed extremely poor, family. He fitted such a child to the letter, although he later turned out to be an outstanding counter-example despite having no ‘built-in’ advantage as he not been socialised in a dominant wealthy culture.

  • Racial Tragedy, Australian History, and the New Australian Cinema: Fred Schepisi's the Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith Revisited
    FILMHISTORIA Online Vol. 28, núms. 1-2 (2018) · ISSN: 2014-668X Racial Tragedy, Australian History, and the New Australian Cinema: Fred Schepisi’s The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith Revisited ROBERT J. CARDULLO University of Michigan Abstract The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith (1978) broke ground in its native country for dealing bluntly with one of the most tragic aspects of Australian history: the racist treatment of the aboriginal population. Adapted faithfully from the 1972 novel by Thomas Keneally, the film concerns a young man of mixed race in turn-of-the-century Australia who feels torn between the values and aspirations of white society, on the one hand, and his aboriginal roots, on the other, and who ultimately takes to violence against his perceived white oppressors. This essay re-views The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith from the following angles: its historical context; its place in the New Australian Cinema; its graphic violence; and the subsequent careers of the film’s director, Fred Schepisi, and its star, Tommy Lewis. Keywords: The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith; Fred Schepisi; Thomas Keneally; New Australian Cinema; racism and colonialism Prior to the late 1970s, Australia was something of a cinematic backwater. Occasionally, Hollywood and British production companies would turn up to use the country as a backdrop for films that ranged from the classic (On the Beach [1959]) to the egregious (Ned Kelly [1970], starring Mick Jagger). But the local movie scene, for the most part, was sleepy and unimaginative and very few Australian films traveled abroad. Then, without warning, Australia suddenly experienced an efflorescence of imaginative filmmaking, as movies such as Picnic at Hanging Rock (1975), The Getting of Wisdom (1977), My Brilliant Career (1979), and Breaker Morant (1980) began to be shown all over the world.

A literature review on schooling for early adolescents was prepared as background reading for seminar participants. The opening address was given by Professor Colin Power, Flinders University of South Australia, who outlined the educational needs of early adolescents and proposed a number of ways in which schools and teachers could meet these needs. In his address to the seminar, Dr. John Manning, Brisbane College of Advanced Education, suggested ways in which teacher education could help to develop in teachers the attitudes and skills which are necessary to effectively meet the needs of early adolescents. Following each of these addresses, seminar participants were invited to put questions and comments to a panel. Contents of this booklet include: (1) "Schooling for Early Adolescents: A Review of the Literature" (M. Bella); (2) "Meeting the Needs of Children in the Early Adolescent Years" (C.

South Australia. 5081. <[email protected]> (08) 8344-3709 2 Lindsay Hardy was Australia’s finest writer of suspense thrillers for radio. Born in Victor Harbor, South Australia, he moved to Sydney, joined the army in December 1939, was wounded twice (once in North Africa and again in New Guinea), returned to Australia, and began writing radio serials. He and his serials soon became household names. He then sought fame in Hollywood and was successful, until McCarthyite hysteria saw him refused residential status. Disappointed, he moved to Cana- da and London; came back to Sydney, then finally, with very little work in Australian radio and television for writers of drama, re- turned to England and permanent expatriacy. 3 Lindsay Hardy the man who wrote Contents Preface 5 Acknowledgments 7 Introduction: Who was Lindsay Hardy? 9 1.

    14-15 February 2013, University of Technology, Sydney PROGRAM Under the auspices of: With the support of: ABSTRACTS SESSION 1 Diane Hughes (Macquarie University, Sydney) – Imperfect Perfection: The Technological Processing of Vocal Artistry. This paper addresses technological processing of the contemporary singing voice in live and recorded contexts. While the acoustic instrument is embodied in a singer’s anatomy, physiology and biopsychology, the singing voice in popular culture is typically realised in formats that can be far removed from the singer. Technological applications facilitate the embodied instrument to be transformed into electrical signal that can then be manipulated and altered with creative and/or purposeful intent. Producers, engineers, equipment, software and treatments may significantly influence any resultant vocal aesthetic. By analysing the perspectives of singer and industry professionals, this research identifies the impact of technological processing on the grain (Barthes, 1978) of the singing voice. The ways in which the singers shape and identify their unique vocal sound is detailed, and the emergent influencers and influences on contemporary vocal artistry are discussed. In industries where pervasive technologies are applied to the singing voice, perfected vocal aesthetics are typical. Processing therefore has the potential to undermine and devalue the inherent artistry of the acoustic instrument while contemporaneously having the capability to facilitate creative and artistic intent. While technological processing essentially focuses on the ways in which the resultant vocal sound is conceptualised sonically, the dichotomy between creative or corrective processing intent reveals that conceptualisation is developed, maintained and mediated in a variety of contexts. These contexts, together with the prevalence of perfected recorded performance, provide distinct challenges for singers intent on maintaining artistic integrity.
