On the other hand that kindly critic, the late James Agee, described my face as ranking "almost with Lin- coln's as an early American archetype, it was haunting, handsome, almost beautiful." I cant imagine what the great rail splitter's reaction would have been to this, though I sure was pleased. -
The Role of Stanislavsky and the Moscow Art Theatre's 1923 And
CULTURAL EXCHANGE: THE ROLE OF STANISLAVSKY AND THE MOSCOW ART THEATRE’S 1923 AND1924 AMERICAN TOURS Cassandra M. Brooks, B.A. Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 2014 APPROVED: Olga Velikanova, Major Professor Richard Golden, Committee Member Guy Chet, Committee Member Richard B. McCaslin, Chair of the Department of History Mark Wardell, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Brooks, Cassandra M. Cultural Exchange: The Role of Stanislavsky and the Moscow Art Theatre’s 1923 and 1924 American Tours. Master of Arts (History), August 2014, 105 pp., bibliography, 43 titles. The following is a historical analysis on the Moscow Art Theatre’s (MAT) tours to the United States in 1923 and 1924, and the developments and changes that occurred in Russian and American theatre cultures as a result of those visits. Konstantin Stanislavsky, the MAT’s co-founder and director, developed the System as a new tool used to help train actors—it provided techniques employed to develop their craft and get into character. This would drastically change modern acting in Russia, the United States and throughout the world. The MAT’s first (January 2, 1923 – June 7, 1923) and second (November 23, 1923 – May 24, 1924) tours provided a vehicle for the transmission of the System. In addition, the tour itself impacted the culture of the countries involved. Thus far, the implications of the 1923 and 1924 tours have been ignored by the historians, and have mostly been briefly discussed by the theatre professionals. This thesis fills the gap in historical knowledge. -

Specifically I thank David Z. Kushner for his mentorship and inspiration. It has been an honor to study and work within his musicology program. Additional help and advice came from Robena Cornwell, Michele Wilbanks, and Mary Wood at the University of Florida Music Library, Jim Liversidge at the University of Florida Popular Culture Collections, the Performing Arts Reading Room staff at the Library of Congress, Nancy Mason, assistant to the Milne Special Collections at the University of New Hampshire, the Duke University Special Collections staff, sheet music collector and lecturer Lee Schreiner, and Bernard Parker, author and World War I song collector. I am very grateful for their assistance. My colleagues at Santa Fe College have also been very supportive during the preparation of this study. I appreciate their encouragement and understanding. I thank David Goldblatt for his willingness to both sing and accompany himself in performance of Let’s knock the bull out of the Bolsheviki. Finally I thank my mother, whose gift of the sheet music Johnny’s in town sparked an interest in the music of the First World War. -
