    Guide to the Brooklyn Theater Playbills and Programs Collection, 1875-1972 Brooklyn Public Library Grand Army Plaza Brooklyn, NY 11238 Contact: Brooklyn Collection Phone: 718.230.2762 Fax: 718.857.2245 Email: [email protected] www.brooklynpubliclibrary.org Processed by Lisa DeBoer, Lisa Castrogiovanni and Lisa Studier.

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.

  • [83+ Years Ago] Dedication of Western Air Express Terminal
    A little SoCal history [83+ years ago] Credits to Jim Holtsclaw #2738 The Fanchon & Marco chorus girls dance atop a new Fokker F-32 aircraft during dedication ceremonies of Western Air Express’ new terminal at Alhambra Field on 4/17/1930. Dedication of Western Air Express terminal November 6, 2013 An article the next morning in The Times reported: With a crowd of people estimated at 10,000 participating, the $1,000,000 terminal of the Western Air Express on Valley Boulevard near Alhambra was dedicated yesterday w/fitting ceremonies. The ceremonies yesterday comprised a program of music by the South Gate Boys’ Municipal Band, speeches by well-known men, & the christening of one of the big Fokkers by Julia Faye (1) & Dorothy Jordan (2), MGM players. The Goodyear blimp ‘Volunteer’ floated overhead & dropped bouquets of flowers hung from small parachutes w/felicitations from various SoCal cities to the airport. A troupe of Fanchon & Marco (3) dancers got out on the wing of the big Fokker & danced a few steps. The SoCal Racing Pigeon Association sent off a flock of birds to show how flying is really done. Edward Everett Horton, as master of ceremonies, presented Governor (Clement) Young as the chief speaker of the afternoon. The Governor, in a brief talk, congratulated the men back at Western Air Express for the accomplishments & referred to the new airport as “a monument to airplane transportation,” He recited how the company has grown from an organization w/5 airplanes & 20 employees covering 1,200 miles daily 4 years ago, to the present concern w/74 airplanes, 606 employees, & planes covering 14,000 miles daily.

  • Dorothy Arzner
    Dorothy Arzner Lived: January 3, 1897 - October 1, 1979 Worked as: director, editor, film cutter, screenwriter Worked In: United States by Allyson Nadia Field With a film career spanning from 1919 to 1943, fifteen years of which were spent as a director, Dorothy Arzner remains the most prolific woman studio director in the history of American cinema. She has received significant scholarly attention from feminist film critics and queer theorists who have been interested in this pioneer filmmaker both for her body of work and for the critical possibilities suggested by feminist approaches to reading that work as a whole. Arzner grew up in Hollywood, California, where her father owned a restaurant next to a theatre that was popular with actors. Her work in the film industry began when she started typing scripts for the Famous Players-Lasky Corporation, which would later become Paramount. After six months, she became a cutter and editor at Realart Studio, a subsidiary of Paramount. As chief editor, she cut and edited fifty-two films before being recalled to Paramount to cut and edit the Valentino vehicle Blood and Sand (1922), her first “big picture” and the first film for which she had undertaken some of the filming (Peary and Kay, 21). At Paramount, Arzner worked on several pictures with director James Cruze, often mentioned as her mentor, then left to write scripts for independent companies, among them Dorothy Davenport Reid Productions, for which she adapted an Adela Rogers St. Johns story on a scandalous trial as the important The Red Kimona (1925). Returning to work at Paramount, Arzner wrote the shooting script for Old Ironsides (1926), which she also cut and edited.

Sure it is a great tool on paddling trips. You use it to find your way across the bay back exactly to your launch point in the fog. You use it to find exactly where you are in relation to the only spring for miles out on the Pecos or that great camping spot on the Sabine. You use it to find out exactly how far and how fast you have paddled and you carefully download all of this information into your computer.
