University Microfilms International 300 North Zeeb Road Ann Arbor, Michigan 48106 USA St INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find it good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper —■ left hand corner of a large sheet asd to continue photoing from !$ft to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation. Silver prints of "photographs" may be ordered at additional charge by writing the Order Department, giving the catalog number, title, author and specific pages you wish reproduced. 5. PLEASE NOTE: Some pages may have indistinct print. Filmed as received.

  • Maugham Creates a Portrait
    Comes a Week of Torment By Jay Carmody. There foas bad blood and many an acrimonious word when the New York Critics’ Circle held its equivalent of Town Meeting to select a prize play last spring. Ballot after ballot was cast without at least result, without the desired result of selecting a drama worthy of the critics’ award. The voters grew restive, petulant, and eventually personal. Finally, however, the tardy, reluctant and compromise conclusion was reached that “The Patriots,” by Sid- ney Kingsley, deserved the accolade, or plaque, which the critics confer annually. The meeting was over then, but its effects were not. With a fine contempt for the unwritten law that critics shall not be held accountable for their individual or collective action, perfect strangers began to pummel them mercilessly. Their best friends joined in and eventually the riotous spirit so infected the victims that they began to pummel each other. When emotional stability was reasonably restored—it is never perfectly achieved among professional theatergoers of any class— the circle was a mere segment of its former self. Resignation fol- lowed resignation, each accompanied by the bitter implication that the organization had been reduced to an absurdity by the attitude and conduct of such and such a so-and-so. Among those who had things to say were George Jean Nathan, Woolcott Gibbs and Burton Rascoe. Mr. Rascoe, a quantitative critic, had more things to say than any one else but the others were more pointed. Mr. Gibbs Gave Bright Fillip Iq Brushing Feud Aside. In its loose way, the whole thing added up to one of the sea- son’s better comedies, the high light of which was Mr.

  • The English-Speaking Aristophanes and the Languages of Class Snobbery 1650-1914
    Pre-print of Hall, E. in Aristophanes in Performance (Legenda 2005) The English-Speaking Aristophanes and the Languages of Class Snobbery 1650-1914 Edith Hall Introduction In previous chapters it has been seen that as early as the 1650s an Irishman could use Aristophanes to criticise English imperialism, while by the early 19th century the possibility was being explored in France of staging a topical adaptation of Aristophanes. In 1817, moreover, Eugene Scribe could base his vaudeville show Les Comices d’Athènes on Ecclesiazusae. Aristophanes became an important figure for German Romantics, including Hegel, after Friedrich von Schlegel had in 1794 published his fine essay on the aesthetic value of Greek comedy. There von Schlegel proposed that the Romantic ideals of Freedom and Joy (Freiheit, Freude) are integral to all art; since von Schlegel regarded comedy as containing them to the highest degree, for him it was the most democratic of all art forms. Aristophanic comedy made a fundamental contribution to his theory of a popular genre with emancipatory potential. One result of the philosophical interest in Aristophanes was that in the early decades of the 18th century, until the 1848 revolution, the German theatre itself felt the impact of the ancient comic writer: topical Lustspiele displayed interest in his plays, which provided a model for German poets longing for a political comedy, for example the remarkable satirical trilogy Napoleon by Friedrich Rückert (1815-18). This international context illuminates the experiences undergone by Aristophanic comedy in England, and what became known as Britain consequent upon the 1707 Act of Union.

  • Melodic Speech Patterns in the Traditional Japanese Kyogen Theatre: a Strategy of Contrasting Structures
    Spring 2001 97 Melodic Speech Patterns in the Traditional Japanese Kyogen Theatre: A Strategy of Contrasting Structures Zvika Serper To Nomura Mansaku, the greatest living kyogen actor Kyogen are comic short plays that serve as interludes between the serious no dramas, together comprising the nogaku, the Japanese traditional aristocratic theatre. They can be farce, satire, tragi-comedy, etc., dealing with the daily life of the lower and middle classes. Relationships between an ordinary man and his wife or lover, and those between a master and his servant are the most common themes in kyogen, in contrast with the more serious super-human appearances of ghosts, gods, and demons in no. Kyogen can be considered as the realistic antithesis of no not only on the dramatic level, but as regards the acting too.1 Vocal expression in kyogen, as in no, consists of both speech and singing, although the proportions differ completely in the two styles, with far more speech than singing in kyogen. Similar to the other traditional theatre arts in Japan, the art passes from father to sons or disciples, and the acting patterns accumulate and crystallize throughout the generations, including the melodic speech patterns. There is no notation of these patterns in the professional texts, and to date no analysis has been attempted of these traditional speech patterns. The kyogen speech served as one of the main sources for the speech of kabuki, the traditional popular theatre that developed later, and therefore it embodies the nucleus of the presentational speech art of all Japanese traditional theatres. In the present analysis of the principles and aesthetic of the kyogen speech patterns I hope to shed some light on these Japanese theatrical speech patterns and provide greater insight into their complexity.

  • Bamcinématek Presents Stephen Chow: the King of Comedy, Oct 6—12
    BAMcinématek presents Stephen Chow: The King of Comedy, Oct 6—12 “The reigning king of Hong Kong comedy.”—J. Hoberman Co-presented with the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office in New York. The Wall Street Journal is the title sponsor for BAM Rose Cinemas and BAMcinématek. Brooklyn, NY/Sep 8, 2014—From Monday, October 6 through Sunday, October 12, BAMcinématek presents Stephen Chow: The King of Comedy, an eight-film retrospective of the Hong Kong actor, writer, and director. Chow’s audaciously anarchic comedies combine surreal sight gags, non sequiturs, extensive pop culture quoting, and gravity-defying martial arts to sublimely silly effect. Endlessly inventive, the reigning king of Hong Kong mo lei tau (―nonsense comedy‖) yields unfiltered cinematic pleasure. Initially prominent as a children’s television star, Chow became synonymous with mo lei tau, a style of film comedy in which traditional melodramas and kung fu tales are peppered with rapid- fire, fourth-wall-breaking slapstick bits and corny puns. A bigger box-office draw in his homeland than Jackie Chan or Jet Li, Chow—who cites Spielberg and Kubrick, along with Jim Carrey, as influences—has used his clout in recent years to fashion himself as an auteur, scripting, editing, and directing a series of high-budget, homage-filled blockbusters. Typical of Chow’s earliest hits, Johnnie To’s Justice, My Foot! (1992—Oct 8) casts the actor as a fast-talking lawyer whose mouth gets him into trouble, and whose kung fu-fighting wife gets him out of it—one of many tough, smart heroines Chow uses as foils for his feckless alter egos.

The Paris of the early seventeenth century was far different from the modern metropolis of to-day. It was the Paris of ill-paved, badly lighted streets whe te beggar and peasant starved and marquises rolled by in their emblazoned coaches, where d'Artagnan and the King's musketeers spread romance and challenged authority and where conspiracy brewed and criminals died upon the pillory.
