MADEMOISELLE MIMI [aka HELLO MIMI or ADIEU MIMI]: [musical comedy] Txt/Mus. [n/e] The Sydney Morning Herald theatre critic writes that as new disciples of Bairnsfather, the All-Diggers Company depict "the lighter side of war, the invincible spirit of comedy which enables men to crack jokes and sing light-hearted ditties while the guns are roaring and shells bursting overhead." Describing the sidelights of life upon the battlefield as "exceedingly laughable" the critic goes no to record that all seven members of the troupe had been on active service, even noting the corps in which they served, these being: Arthur S. Keighley, M.C., 11th Battalion, Anzac Corps School Concert Party; Hugh Gannon, 1st Battalion, Anzac Coves; George Jennings, 5th Pioneer Battalion (Kookaburras); Cyril James, 32nd Battalion (Kookaburras), Roy Glenister, 1st A.S.C. (Sentimental Blokes) Claude Hansen, 3rd A.A.H, (incl. concert party) and Adelaide's Lindsay Kemble 1st A.S.C. (Sentimental Blokes). Advertising for the Melbourne season further records: "The Real Thing by Real Diggers, who are also Real Actors. To get it more realistic than this one would have to bring the war itself along. Don't wait for that. This is the funniest bit of real life ever put into a theatre" ("Playhouse," 8). Played out over three acts and set somewhere in France during the First World War, the first act opens with a bunch of solders taking R and R in an estaminet run by Mademoiselle Mimi. They sing, spin yarns and gibe with cutting satire at their officers, the War Office and each other. The Herald records that "all sorts of amusing figures flit to and fro - the haw haw solider who wears a monocle and addresses his officer as 'dear old thing;' the stupid recruit, who unable to read or write, is promptly drafted into the Intelligence Corps; an irate military representative who will not permit the tribunal to grant an exemption to cripples, since he affirms a mahogany leg is equally as good as a heart of oak" ("Mademoiselle Mimi," 5). The second act sees the soldiers heading off to the front, joined by Mimi. Here they find themselves grouped around a camp fire in an old barn, relieving the tension of waiting for the big surge by singing songs and telling stories. The finale is played out as bombs whistle overhead and Green Room Mar. (1920), 13. the soldiers sing "Where Did That One Go." The scene ends with the roof of the barn collapsing and the soldiers emerging scared but unhurt as the stage becomes obscured by smoke. In the last act the "piquant hostess" Mimi returns to her inn dreading the inevitable roll-call that will follow the inevitable heavy losses. Songs incorporated into 1920 production included: "On the Staff" (sung by Arthur Keighley), "Yarrawonga" and "The Heart- Breaking Baby Doll" (Hugh Gannon). The 1922 one act revival, presented as Hello Mimi, also included "On the Staff" (sung by Lorne O'Brien), along with: "Happy" (Kemble), "Lancashire Jazz Band" (Jennings), "Wonderful Mother of Mine" (Roy Glenister), "Some Girls" (Saunders and Jennings), "What Do You mean" (Jennings and Kemble), "Cross-Eyed Clara" (Jennings), "They Never leave You Alone" (Kemble), "Lovin' Disposition" (O'Brien)," "Wonderful Mother of Mine" (Glenister) and "Goodbye Khaki" (Kemble). It is believed that the company renamed the show Hello Mimi or alternatively Adieu Mimi (Farewell Mimi") for later tours so as to distinguish it from the troupe. By 1922 the production had also been shortened to one act. Following the success of Mademoiselle Mimi the company put together several other musical comedies, touring under the banner of the Mademoiselle Mimi Diggers. Other productions by the troupe included: The Pommy Bride, Mimi's Spies, Winning a Wife and Odds and Ends [see 1921]. 1920: Playhouse Theatre, Melbourne; 7 Feb. - 23 Mar. - Dir. Capt. A. S.

    THE UNIVERSITY OF WINCHESTER Faculty of Arts ‘Respectable Capers’ – Class, Respectability and the D’Oyly Carte Opera Company 1877-1909 Michael Stephen Goron Doctor of Philosophy June 2014 The Thesis has been completed as a requirement for a postgraduate research Degree of the University of Winchester The word count is: 98,856 (including abstract and declarations.) THE UNIVERSITY OF WINCHESTER ABSTRACT FOR THESIS ‘Respectable Capers’: Class, Respectability and the D’Oyly Carte Opera Company 1877-1909 Michael Stephen Goron This thesis will demonstrate ways in which late Victorian social and cultural attitudes influenced the development and work of the D’Oyly Carte Opera Company, and the early professional production and performance of the Gilbert and Sullivan operas. The underlying enquiry concerns the extent to which the D’Oyly Carte Opera organisation and its work relate to an ideology, or collective mentalité, maintained and advocated by the Victorian middle- classes. The thesis will argue that a need to reflect bourgeois notions of respectability, status and gender influenced the practices of a theatrical organisation whose success depended on making large-scale musical theatre palatable to ‘respectable’ Victorians. It will examine ways in which managerial regulation of employees was imposed to contribute to both a brand image and a commercial product which matched the ethical values and tastes of the target audience. The establishment of a company performance style will be shown to have evolved from behavioural practices derived from the absorption and representation of shared cultural outlooks. The working lives and professional preoccupations of authors, managers and performers will be investigated to demonstrate how the attitudes and working lives of Savoy personnel exemplified concerns typical to many West End theatre practitioners of the period, such as the drive towards social acceptability and the recognition of theatre work as a valid professional pursuit, particularly for women.

    THE GILBERT AND SULLIVAN OPERETTAS ON 78s: COMPLETE SETS AND ABRIDGEMENTS, 1906. 1950 John W. N. Francis In 1877 Richard D'Oyly Carte commissioned Gilbert and Sullivan to write The Sorcerer, and organized an ensemble of singer-actors to perform the new piece under the author's artistic direction. Also in 1877, of course, Charles Cros and Thomas Edison invented sound recording. More than a century later both the music and the medium continue to flourish, and indeed they have come together often and success­ fully--notably in the many complete versions by the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company, which have set standards of style and ensemble for generations of devotees and amateur performers. This discography documents the complete recordings of the Gilbert and Sullivan operettas made at 78 rpm, not only by the D'Oyly Carte company or under its aegis, but also by others with lesser claims to authenticity. Also included are substantial abridgements and sets of excerpts--groups of five or more sides made at essentially the same time and place and with the same performers, whether or not they were ever issued collectively or with consecutive numbering. The following comments set the recordings in the context of the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company's history. THE ACOUSTIC RECORDINGS When Richard D'Oyly Carte died in 1901, his widow Helen assumed manage­ ment of the businesses he had built, including the Savoy Theatre in London and the opera company, which was then on tour. In 1906 she brought the troupe back to the Savoy for a repertory season of Gilbert and Sullivan, its very first.

  • GILBERT and SULLIVAN PAMPHLETS† Number Two
    1 GILBERT AND SULLIVAN PAMPHLETS † Number Two CURTAIN RAISERS A Compilation by Michael Walters and George Low First published October 1990 Slightly revised edition May 1996 Reprinted May 1998. Reformatted and repaginated, but not otherwise altered. INTRODUCTION Very little information is available on the non Gilbert and Sullivan curtain raisers and other companion pieces used at the Savoy and by the D’Oyly Carte Opera Company on tour in their early years. Rollins and Witts give a brief list at the back of their compilation, and there are passing references to some of the pieces by Adair-Fitz- gerald and others. This pamphlet is intended to give some more data which may be of use and interest to the G&S fraternity. It is not intended to be the last word on the subject, but rather the first, and it is hoped that it will provoke further investigation. Perhaps it may inspire others to make exhaustive searches in libraries for the missing scores and libretti. Sources: Cyril Rollins & R. John Witts: 1962.

Dagnell Choreographer: Will Bishop Musical Director : John Anstell Cast: Leo Stormont ( Sultan), Ada Reeve (Medorah), W.S. Percy ( Dadoolah), Jamieson Dodds (Vernon Grant ), Leslie Stiles ( Ambassador Manston), Margaret Campbell ( Mrs Manston) Songs: Tomorrow’s Another Day, There’s Always a Drawback, Like a Dream. Wonderful Joy, Hope Again, Love and My Soul Alone Story: In Caravanistan beauty is measured in physical bulk, the heavier the better. The Sultan’s eldest daughter, Medorah, is thin, too thin to be an eligible bride. Chancellor Dadoolah suggests she is sent to America for the purposes of putting on weight – a suggestion that delights her because she has fallen in love with Vernon Grant, the man who accompanied the American ambassador and his wife to a reception in the Sultan’s palace. They meet again in Washington, and when she is summoned back to Caravanistan , Vernon secretly follows. Meantime, after various adventures, Vernon is captured and forced to work as a slave in the Sultan’s household. With no hope of marrying his underweight daughter to a prince, the Sultan condemns her to marry his new slave – and thus Medorah and Vernon are happily united. Notes: The original publicity declared that “Medorah” was jointly produced by Mr. Bernard J. Hishin and Sir Oswald Stoll, but within a week of opening, the show was subject to a legal dispute in the Court of Chancery, with Violet Melnotte claiming (and winning) half-ownership in the copyright of the English version of this Dutch original.

It was the first to usc new costumes and scenery since the original production of 1885, and the first to broadcast a portion of the opening night performance on the radio, li ve from the theater. It would also become not merely the first Gilbert and Sullivan work, but the first opera of any kind to be recorded complete using the new electrical process. As might be expected with such an early effort, the recording guality is variable. Some portions have much clarity and presence, while other sides sound dim and muffled. There are balance problems between singers and orchestra, and sometimes between one singer and another. The sides dating from the December 6th session are particularly problematic- bass-deficient, shrill and distorted.

  • The Rose of Persia;
    THE ROSE OF PERSIA; or, the Story-Teller and the Slave A Comic Opera in Two Acts Written by Basil Hood Composed by Arthur Sullivan First produced at the Savoy Theatre, London on Saturday 29th November 1899 under the management of Mr. Richard D’Oyly Carte Privately Published by Ian C. Bond at 2 Kentisview, Kentisbeare, CULLOMPTON, EX15 2BS - © 1999 Revised edition Privately Published by Ian C. Bond at 2 Priory Park, TAUNTON, TA1 1PX - © 2008 further revised in 2012. THE ROSE OF PERSIA Sir Alexander MacKenzie, speaking after Sir Arthur Sullivan‟s death in November 1900, dubbed this work “Sullivan‟s masterpiece of Comic Opera.” What the composer would have thought of this it is hard to imagine. Sullivan would probably have preferred to be remembered for IVANHOE, THE MARTYR OF ANTIOCH or THE GOLDEN LEGEND. However, fate and posterity decreed otherwise, and whatever Sir Alexander MacKenzie may have thought, it is for his works with W.S. Gilbert, and particularly H.M.S. PINAFORE, THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE and THE MIKADO, that Sullivan is remembered today. By the time of the premiere of THE ROSE OF PERSIA, Sullivan might have been forgiven for thinking that the good fortune that he had always enjoyed at The Savoy had deserted him forever. Since THE GONDOLIERS in 1889, Sullivan had achieved no lasting success at the theatre which had become synonymous with the triumphs of the eighties. Neither of his final operas with Gilbert (UTOPIA (LIMITED) and THE GRAND DUKE) were to achieve lasting success in his lifetime, and his work with other librettists was to receive a lukewarm reception.

  • THE ARTIST and the ENTERTAINERS: EMMANUEL CHABRIER and HIS IMITATORS by MARY HELEN STILL (Under the Direction of Dorothea Link)
    THE ARTIST AND THE ENTERTAINERS: EMMANUEL CHABRIER AND HIS IMITATORS by MARY HELEN STILL (Under the Direction of Dorothea Link) ABSTRACT Composed by Emmanuel Chabrier in 1877, the opera L’Étoile quickly become fodder for “borrowing” by American and British musical comedy collaborators. An American adaptation by Woolson Morse, The Merry Monarch, was produced in 1890, and a British adaptation by Ivan Caryll, The Lucky Star, was produced in London in 1899. Each subsequent version is in no way simply a translation or reproduction of L’Étoile; these are adaptations in a broad sense, with little Chabrier left at all. It is the purpose of this thesis to demonstrate by means of this case study how the musical comedy genre and the popular music industry of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries made use of an established and canonic genre, opera, by investigating what is appropriated and what is not valued in this borrowing process.
