LAMONT, ALBERTA ( SEPT. 24TH , 1950) ARCHER MEMORIAL WINDOW In memory of the late Dr. A. E. Archer a memorial window was unveiled in the children's ward of the Lamont Hospital. At the same time the name of the hospital was changed to the Archer Memorial Hospital. Money for the window was donated by the friends of Dr. Archer, mostly residents of the Lamont district. The Window was unveiled by Dr. George Johnson, of Calgary, representing the medical profession of Alberta. Dr. Johnson was an old friend of Dr. Archer's having been associated with him in connection with medical activities over the years. The Dedication of the Window was carried out by the Rev. ·D. J. C . Elson, of St. Stephen's College, former Lamont clergyman. Dr. T. C. Routley, Executive Secretary of the Canadian Medical Association, paid tribute to Dr. Archer in which he called the hospital founder "an outstanding physician, humanitarian, gentleman and Christian." Mr. William Pedruchney, District Agriculturist, com­ mented on Dr. Archer's interest in the new Canadian people who came to .the district as strangers. He called Dr. Archer "a great man" who had given his life to the service of people of a different race, habits and language. It is estimated that between four and five hundred people attended the ceremony and everyone felt that the Window was a fitting token in remembrance of a great life. It is hoped that any members of the Profession or others interested may feel free to visit the Hospital and inspect the Window. !Unveiling of Memorial Window, September 24th, 1950) Vol. 15, No. 4 ALBERTA MEDICAL BULLETIN 7 PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS By R.

  • “Isn't It Swell... Nowadays?”: the Reception History of Chicago On
    “Isn’t It Swell . Nowadays?”: The Reception History of Chicago on Stage and Screen A thesis submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Music in the Division of Composition, Musicology, and Theory of the College-Conservatory of Music by Michael M. Kennedy BM, Butler University, 2004 MM, University of Hartford, 2008 Committee Chair: bruce d. mcclung, PhD Abstract The musical Chicago represents an anomaly in Broadway history: its 1996 revival far surpassed the modest success of the original 1975 production. Despite the original production’s box-office accomplishments, it received disparaging reviews regarding the cynicism of the work’s content. The musical celebrates the crimes and acquittals of two murderesses, and is based on Maurine Dallas Watkins’s coverage as a Chicago Tribune reporter of two 1924 murder cases, from which she generated a 1926 Broadway play. The 1975 Broadway production of Chicago: A Musical Vaudeville utilized this historical source material to comment on contemporary American society, highlighting parallels between the U.S. justice system and the entertainment industry, which critics and audiences of the post-Watergate era deemed as too cynical. Although Chicago initially achieved a mixed reception, the revival’s producers made few changes to John Kander’s music, Fred Ebb’s lyrics, and Ebb and Bob Fosse’s book, aside from simplifying the title to Chicago: The Musical. This suggests that the musical’s newfound success can be attributed to a societal shift in the perception of its subject matter. With further success from Chicago’s 2002 film adaptation, the originally dark and sardonic material became a smash hit and found itself as mainstream entertainment at the turn of the millennium.

  • A Yiddish Guide to Larry David
    A YIDDISH GUIDE TO LARRY DAVID by Marjorie Gottlieb Wolfe Syosset, New York Before we begin a discussion about Larry David, here’s a list of words for today’s theatergoers: theater “der teater” actor “der aktyor” actress “der aktrise” scene “di tsene” play “di pyese” act “der akt” intermission “di hafsoke” melodrama “di melodrame” theater box “lozhe” Larry David (“Curb Your Enthusiasm,” “Seinfield,” etc.) is on Broadway, starring in a new “komedie” (comedy), “Fish in the Dark.” The show had more than $13 million in advance sales. On June 9, he will be replaced by his Seinfeld pal, Jason Alexander. Time magazine said “Forgive Us: We’re having difficulty curbing our enthusiasm about this.” “schlekht” (bad) The comedy focuses on 15 characters as they deal with a death in the family. The plot is about the gathering of the Drexel family in present-day California as they prepare to bid farewell to their dying patriarch. Old rivalries and still-simmering angers are reignited, which echo through the next few days. We see how badly people often behave when there’s an imminent death in the family. David said, “I really got myself in a pickle. It’s a big, sour pickle and I can’t get out of it. I’m not even an actor! I don’t even like the theater!” Larry David plays Norman Drexel, a Los Angeles urinal salesman The clan in “Fish in the Dark” even bicker over who’s going to inherit Sid’s Rolex!. Jesse Oxfeld says, “There are bits recognizable from Seinfeld, from the question of whether a body odor smell is so bad as to be deadly (see: “The Smelly Cat,” fourth season) to a doctor’s final-reel suggestion that an unexpected medical event was caused by a character’s preceding comic behavior (see: The Summer of George,” eighth season).
