  • Cole Porter: the Social Significance of Selected Love Lyrics of the 1930S
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Unisa Institutional Repository Cole Porter: the social significance of selected love lyrics of the 1930s by MARILYN JUNE HOLLOWAY submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS in the subject of ENGLISH at the UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH AFRICA SUPERVISOR: PROFESSOR IA RABINOWITZ November 2010 DECLARATION i SUMMARY This dissertation examines selected love lyrics composed during the 1930s by Cole Porter, whose witty and urbane music epitomized the Golden era of American light music. These lyrics present an interesting paradox – a man who longed for his music to be accepted by the American public, yet remained indifferent to the social mores of the time. Porter offered trenchant social commentary aimed at a society restricted by social taboos and cultural conventions. The argument develops systematically through a chronological and contextual study of the influences of people and events on a man and his music. The prosodic intonation and imagistic texture of the lyrics demonstrate an intimate correlation between personality and composition which, in turn, is supported by the biographical content. KEY WORDS: Broadway, Cole Porter, early Hollywood musicals, gays and musicals, innuendo, musical comedy, social taboos, song lyrics, Tin Pan Alley, 1930 film censorship ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I should like to thank Professor Ivan Rabinowitz, my supervisor, who has been both my mentor and an unfailing source of encouragement; Dawie Malan who was so patient in sourcing material from libraries around the world with remarkable fortitude and good humour; Dr Robin Lee who suggested the title of my dissertation; Dr Elspa Hovgaard who provided academic and helpful comment; my husband, Henry Holloway, a musicologist of world renown, who had to share me with another man for three years; and the man himself, Cole Porter, whose lyrics have thrilled, and will continue to thrill, music lovers with their sophistication and wit.

  • Cole Albert Porter (June 9, 1891 October 15, 1964) Was An
    Cole Albert Porter (June 9, 1891 October 15, 1964) was an American composer and songwriter. Born to a wealthy family in Indiana, he defied the wishes of his dom ineering grandfather and took up music as a profession. Classically trained, he was drawn towards musical theatre. After a slow start, he began to achieve succe ss in the 1920s, and by the 1930s he was one of the major songwriters for the Br oadway musical stage. Unlike many successful Broadway composers, Porter wrote th e lyrics as well as the music for his songs. After a serious horseback riding accident in 1937, Porter was left disabled and in constant pain, but he continued to work. His shows of the early 1940s did not contain the lasting hits of his best work of the 1920s and 30s, but in 1948 he made a triumphant comeback with his most successful musical, Kiss Me, Kate. It w on the first Tony Award for Best Musical. Porter's other musicals include Fifty Million Frenchmen, DuBarry Was a Lady, Any thing Goes, Can-Can and Silk Stockings. His numerous hit songs include "Night an d Day","Begin the Beguine", "I Get a Kick Out of You", "Well, Did You Evah!", "I 've Got You Under My Skin", "My Heart Belongs to Daddy" and "You're the Top". He also composed scores for films from the 1930s to the 1950s, including Born to D ance (1936), which featured the song "You'd Be So Easy to Love", Rosalie (1937), which featured "In the Still of the Night"; High Society (1956), which included "True Love"; and Les Girls (1957).

  • June 2015 President: Vice President: Price 50P When Sold Simon Russell Beale CBE Nickolas Grace
    No. 491 - June 2015 President: Vice President: Price 50p when sold Simon Russell Beale CBE Nickolas Grace WHAT A SWELL PARTY IT WAS! Liz Schafer reviews Shakespeare’s Birthday Party 2015 This year’s Shakespeare’s Birthday Party was marked by a ‘can do’ spirit of improvisation and the result was a thoroughly enjoyable event. The Old Vic circle bar, where the party is normally held these days, was full of props and so there was no room for the party. Crisis! But Ned Seago, the Old Vic doorman, arranged for the party to be held instead backstage in the rehearsal room. Once the rehearsal room had been commandeered, Nickolas Grace stood outside the theatre greeting guests with his usual charm and directing us to the Webber Street Stage Door entrance. After we had all recovered from the lift, which probably should be granted ancient monument status – it had lovely wooden panelling and a sign sternly warning Maria Friedman with Jamie Parker and The Bard everyone that ‘weight must be evenly distributed’, we were able to relax in the open, airy rehearsal room. This, as members with long memories reminded us, used to be the venue for the VWA parties. I would certainly vote for parties being held there in the future if at all possible. As Nick pointed out, although the floorboards were now sanded down, they were the very ones trodden by stars such as Olivier, Ashcroft, Gielgud in their days at the Vic, when they were in rehearsal. Nick certainly had plenty of interesting memories of working in that room.

To close our 13th season, I selected Baby, which ran on Broadway from 1983 to 1984 for 241 performances.

In fact, I like this show so much that I put in in our 2nd season, when we had smaller audiences and fewer performances, and brought it back for this season to reach more people. Because it’s rarely performed, it’s what we like to call a “lost treasure of Broadway.” Yet it has great credentials: It was nominated for 601 Airport Road South, Naples seven Tony Awards, including Best Musical and Best Original Score, (239) 234-1521 | VWofNaples.com and six Drama Desk Awards.
