A. DeWolfe Howe has contributed to the Jewish Advocate of December 31 last an article on the place of the Boston Symphony Orchestra in its community. He wrote in part "There is today no need to sing the praises of this Orchestra of ours as a civilizing force in the community. The education of the spirit stands beside the education of the mind as a press- ing necessity in a democratic society. Among all the arts none surpasses music in its power of refreshment and inspiration, impartially distributed. In agencies to this end, conducted not for profit but for education in its highest sense, a community generally receives what it deserves and, in the long run, is willing to support. The history of our own orchestra illustrates what is probably bound to happen more and more frequently in this changing world.

He was born in St. Petersburg, October 29, 1901. His father, Alex- ander Amfitheatrof, was distinguished as a historian. He had sung at the Imperial Theatre before adopting a literary career. The maternal grandfather of Amfitheatrof, Vladimir Sokolof, made his name as a composer of songs, and the mother of Amfitheatrof studied composi- tion with Rimsky-Korsakov. Amfitheatrof began to study music with his mother at the age of six, and later studied with Nicolas Scher- batchef and Joseph Wihtol in St. Petersburg, and Jaroslaw Kficka (a pupil of Hugo Riemann) in Prague. He went to Rome to complete his musical preparation under Ottorino Respighi, and received his diploma for composition from the Royal Conservatory of St.

  • 2. Nat Phillips Collection Finding
    NAT PHILLIPS COLLECTION FINDING AID FRYER Library, The University of Queensland (UQFL9) Comprising eleven boxes of miscellanea, including scripts, scores, jokes, lyrics, business and legal papers, and photographs, the Nat Phillips Collection is the most extensive collection of early twentieth-century Australian variety ephemera in existence. While the bulk of the collection is ephemera belonging to Nat Phillips, including items associated with the Stiffy and Mo Revue Company and Fullers' Theatres, it also includes manuscripts and miscellanea belonging to John N. McCallum and Cremorne Theatre (including Will Mahoney and Walter Johnson), Tom Armstrong and Jack Phillips. One of the most significant aspects of the Nat Phillips collection is that it provides us with a much clearer understanding of the Australian larrikin personas developed by Phillips and Rene. Although based on Irish and Jewish theatrical types, Stiffy and Mo found much appeal with audiences throughout the country, capturing the same spirit that was emanating from the larrikin Aussie soldier of the First World War. The collection, which through accidental good fortune survived all odds, is now also able to serve as a reminder to historians and cultural theorists that popular entertainment is an area worthy of much further study. The Collection was discovered through sheer luck in 1972 when University of Queensland lecturer Dr Robert Jordan (later professor of drama at the University of New South Wales) and his first wife were looking through a Brisbane bric-a-brac shop. The Jordans notified the Fryer Library of the boxes and they were apparently purchased for a nominal sum. Descendants of Phillips' brother, Jack, have since informed the Library that the boxes possibly disappeared during a bitter divorce between Jacob "Jack" Phillips (Nat's brother) and his wife.

Anche per “Sakuntala” egli mi è stato largo di suggerimenti”. Franco Alfano rivestì prestigiosi incarichi tra i quali ricordiamo l'insegnamento al Liceo di Bologna, nel 1918 la direzione del Conservatorio di Bologna e dal 1923 la direzione del conservatorio "Giuseppe Verdi" di Torino che mantenne sino al 1939.

  • A Season in Federal Street J
    A Season In Federal Street J. B. W^illiamson and the Boston Theatre 1796-1797 BY JOHN ALDEN F each autumn brings with it its own atmosphere of ex- I citement and suspense at the opening of a new theater season, we who experience it share no doubt a feeling as old as the theater itself. And we can the more readily project ourselves backwards to the evening of September 19, 1796, when the curtains of the Boston Theatre parted upon the first scene of Reynolds's comedy, The Dramatist. Emotions on both sides of the footlights may well have resembled ours today: optimistic anticipation tempered by an awareness of the uncertain fortunes of the stage. The fact of the matter is that the season of 1796-97 in Federal Street was a disastrous one. But the very misfor- tunes of the ten months in question provide the substance of our interest in it today. Had the season been a successful one, it would probably mean that we should know less about it, for the disasters which fell upon the Theatre have left their skeletons from which it is now possible to recon- struct more effectively the theatrical life of Boston over a century and a half ago. It is true that both W. W. Clapp in his Record of the Boston Stage (Boston, 1853) and G. O. Seilhamer in his History of the American Theatre (Philadelphia, 1881-91) have already given a generous picture of the early drama in Boston. There remains, however, a copious body of documentation regarding the Federal Street Theatre from which much IO AMERICAN ANTIQUARIAN SOCIETY [April, may be learned.

There is no class of society whom so many persons regard with affection as actors.

This second edition of the Arts Curriculum Framework presents the new statewide guidelines for learning, teaching, and assessment in dance, music, theatre, and visual arts for the Commonwealth’s public schools. Based on scholarship, sound research, and effective practice, the Framework will enable teachers and administrators to strengthen curriculum and instruction from PreKindergarten through grade 12. I am proud of the work that has been accomplished. The comments and suggestions received on the first edition of the Arts Curriculum Framework of 1996, as well as comments on subsequent working drafts, have strengthened this new edition. I want to thank everyone who worked with us to create a high quality document that provides challenging learning standards for Massachusetts students. We will continue to work with schools and districts in implementing the Arts Curriculum Framework over the next several years, and we encourage your comments as you use it. All of the curriculum frameworks are subject to continuous review and improvement, for the benefit of the students of the Commonwealth. Thank you again for your

  • Index to the Proceedings by Ruth Canedy Cross
    Index to the Proceedings by Ruth Canedy Cross FOREWORD As might be expected, the forty-four volumes of Proceedings (1905-1979) covered by this index provide a solid background of history: the landing at and settlement of "Newtown[e]"; the allotment of land and establishment—and later alteration—of town boundaries; the organization and division of churches; the effects of war, from the early Indian struggles and the Revolutionary War to the Vietnam conflict; the growth of and changes in population; the rise and decline and subsequent revival of industry. Along with this, from almost the very beginning, runs the history of Harvard; "town and gown" have shared many of the same problems, and each has profoundly affected the other. All this is enlivened by first-hand accounts from diaries and letters and recollections by people who were there while it was happening. For example: In the 1630s, Governor Winthrop reprimands Lieutenant-Governor Dudley for "extravagance" in wainscoting his new house, to which Dudley replies that it was done "for warmth...and the charge was little." We hear of a "student rebellion" at Harvard in the 1660s, apparently over religious matters; 300 years later the issues are different but the sentiments are the same. An exchange of correspondence between General Heath and General Burgoyne in 1777 reflects their frustrations in attempting to provide decent accommodations for the "Convention Troops" held prisoner in Cambridge. Written in 1827 to her son Stephen, Louisa Storrow Higginson's letters (read by a younger son, Thomas Wentworth Higginson, in 1906 at the sixth meeting of the newly formed Society) paint a vivid picture of family life--with ten children of her own and two stepdaughters, she says of a neighbor's sick child, "he is a dear little boy and I longed to have him for my own to take care of." Four companies of Harvard students guard the Arsenal in 1861, this task being taken over by the Washington Home Guard during the draft riots of 1863.
