Captured in the new Dynagroove system, the performance is breath- taking. Another new Dynagroove album presents Mendelssohn's "Midsummer Night's Dream," with chorus, soloists Arlene Saunders and Helen Vanni, and narration by Inga Swenson. In addition to the regular album, a deluxe, limited edition is available with rare and unusual engravings suitable for framing.

As before, there will be six concerts on Saturday mornings from eleven o'clock until noon.

Each concert- KEnmore 6-6238 CEdar 5-3430 goer receives an annotated program, as in the adult series. But, additionally, Mr. [5] Dickson makes brief informative re- marks, and has the players illustrate particular points of a score before its performance in full. The programs avoid playing down to youth and inexperience. They form an introduction to the regular symphonic repertory of music past and present. The audiences come from pub- lic, parochial, and private schools—from Grades V through Junior High and High School—from points throughout Massa- chusetts, and extending to New Hamp- shire. So ably has Mr. Dickson satisfied his listeners, that last season's two series sold out in advance of the first concert, and indications are for a similar result JLabel this season. As is his custom, Mr. Dickson is giv- assures yon ing a definite character to each of his programs. The first bears the title, the finest in "What Is a Symphony?", the second, "What Is Program Music?". For the fashion last there will be the "Annual Festival Program." The Boston Symphony Or- chestra musicians will be joined in part of the program by High School instru- mentalists, and by a school soloist chosen by competition. An original composition by a Newton High School student also will be heard. An interesting association with the history of the Boston Symphony Orches- tra exists in Mr. Dickson's series. As early as 1888-89, the seventh season of the Orchestra, its regular conductor, Wilhelm Gericke, presented Young Peo- Distinctive ple's Concerts. These were continued by Clothes his successor, Arthur Nikisch. After a and lapse, the idea was resumed by Pierre Accessories Monteux, Serge Koussevitzky, and Rich- for the well dressed woman ard Burgin. From 1939 to 1948, musi- cians of this Orchestra were conducted in Youth Concerts by Wheeler Beckett, composer-conductor. Eleven years after the cessation of that enterprise, Harry Ellis Dickson founded the present series. 1213 BOYLSTON STREET . CHESTNUT HILL It has flourished with his musical re- STREET .

Not nec- essarily so. While plenty of musicians do have it, plenty of people who also have perfect pitch can't even play a comb. At Old Colony Trust Company, none of the specialists claims to have perfect pitch when it comes to invest- ing. But together, these men make a 39-part harmony that's hard to beat. Their sound advice is the result of years of experience and first-hand knowledge; they travel over 350,000 Colony miles every year to get it.

It was revised in 1844, and first performed in Paris, January 19, 1845, at the Champs Elysees, when Berlioz conducted from the manuscript. There was a second performance April 1, 1855, at a concert of the St. Cecilia Society in Paris. The score was again revised and first published in this year. The first performance in Boston was by the Boston Sym- phony Orchestra, January 10, 1896. There were further performances October 13, 1916, November 18, 1949 and November 28-29, 1958. The score calls for 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 4 horns, 2 trumpets, 2 cornets, 3 trombones, ophicleide (or bass tuba), timpani and strings. The Overture is dedicated "To my Friend, Davison."* T Tans von Bulow, after conducting The Corsaire Overture at Mein- **- - ingen, wrote that it "went like a shot from a pistol," plainly allud- ing to the sharp staccato chords for the full orchestra that punctuate light lyrical passages. It is a dashing and debonair overture, enlivened by the wit of brilliant string writing. The title incites one to find in this overture the musical embodiment of the reckless adventurer of Byron's poem.

  • American Heritage Center
    UNIVERSITY OF WYOMING AMERICAN HERITAGE CENTER GUIDE TO ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY RESOURCES Child actress Mary Jane Irving with Bessie Barriscale and Ben Alexander in the 1918 silent film Heart of Rachel. Mary Jane Irving papers, American Heritage Center. Compiled by D. Claudia Thompson and Shaun A. Hayes 2009 PREFACE When the University of Wyoming began collecting the papers of national entertainment figures in the 1970s, it was one of only a handful of repositories actively engaged in the field. Business and industry, science, family history, even print literature were all recognized as legitimate fields of study while prejudice remained against mere entertainment as a source of scholarship. There are two arguments to be made against this narrow vision. In the first place, entertainment is very much an industry. It employs thousands. It requires vast capital expenditure, and it lives or dies on profit. In the second place, popular culture is more universal than any other field. Each individual’s experience is unique, but one common thread running throughout humanity is the desire to be taken out of ourselves, to share with our neighbors some story of humor or adventure. This is the basis for entertainment. The Entertainment Industry collections at the American Heritage Center focus on the twentieth century. During the twentieth century, entertainment in the United States changed radically due to advances in communications technology. The development of radio made it possible for the first time for people on both coasts to listen to a performance simultaneously. The delivery of entertainment thus became immensely cheaper and, at the same time, the fame of individual performers grew.

  • A Holmes and Doyle Bibliography
    A Holmes and Doyle Bibliography Volume 7 Audio/Visual Materials Alphabetical Listing Compiled by Timothy J. Johnson Minneapolis High Coffee Press 2018 A Holmes & Doyle Bibliography Vol. 7, Audio/Visual Materials, Alphabetical Listing INTRODUCTION This bibliography is a work in progress. It attempts to update Ronald B. De Waal’s comprehensive bibliography, The Universal Sherlock Holmes, but does not claim to be exhaustive in content. New works are continually discovered and added to this bibliography. Readers and researchers are invited to suggest additional content. This volume contains an alphabetical listing of audio-visual materials. Coverage of this material begins around 1994, the final year covered by De Waal's bibliography, but may not yet be totally up-to-date (given the ongoing nature of this bibliography). It is hoped that other titles will be added at a later date. The first volume in this supplement focuses on monographic and serial titles, arranged alphabetically by author or main entry. The second volume presents the exact same information arranged by subject. The third volume focuses on the periodical literature of Doyle and Holmes, listing individual articles alphabetically. The fourth volume includes "core" or "primary" citations from the periodical literature. The fifth volume includes "passing" or "secondary" references to Doyle or Holmes in the periodical literature. The sixth volume organizes the periodical literature according to De Waal's original categories. As the bibliography expands, additional annotations will be provided in order to give the researcher a better idea on the exact Holmesian or Doylean reference contained in each article. The compiler wishes to thank Peter E.
