Jerome Weidman was born to Jewish immigrants in New York City . After graduating from DeWitt Clinton High School , he moved to the Bronx , where he worked in a clothing store like his father. He later studied at the City College of New York and at the " New York University Law School", writing short stories at the same time.

Jerome Weidman (April 4, 1913, New York City - October 6, 1998, New York City) was an American playwright and novelist. He collaborated with George Abbott on the book for the musical Fiorello! with music by Jerry Bock, and lyrics by Sheldon Harnick. All received the 1960 Pulitzer Prize for Drama for the work. Contents. Biography. Weidman was born in Manhattan, New York City, and moved with his family to the Bronx after finishing high school at DeWitt Clinton. His parents were Jewish immigrants and his father Joseph worked in the garment trade. He also worked in the garment industry, which later provided him with book material, and attended City College of New York and New York University Law School, all the while writing stories and finally novels. [ 1 ] In his work he wrote about the "rough underside of business and politics -- and daily life -- in New York." [ 1 ] The Independent obituary states: "There was precious little hope of salvation - indeed, precious little hope - in his early novels and often dazzling and highly crafted short stories, many of which inevitably found their way into Harold Ross's New Yorker during its Golden Age of the late Thirties and early Forties." [ 2 ] In the 1950s he used his ability for "speakable dialogue" in writing for the movies, which led to working with George Abbott on the musical Fiorello! in 1959. [ 2 ] He wrote the book for the musical I Can Get It for You Wholesale which was based on his first novel, and was Barbra Streisand's Broadway debut. The book was the source for a 1951 movie starring Susan Hayward, but used mainly the title. [ 1 ] He married Peggy Wright in 1942 and had two sons, John and Jeffrey. [ 1 ] Bibliography. Novels.

Avon 660 � WAKE UP TO MURDER by Day Keene, 1955. From Ruben. Avon 677 is credited to Ziel on several websites. It is not Ziel. The cover artist is Ray Johnson. Avon T-140 � TEMPTATION IN PARIS by Balzac, 1956. From Chris Eckhoff. T-203 LES GIRLS – Tomkinson, 1957 -cover and interiors. “POLLY PARIS- Avon, 1972” In 2010 this art by George Ziel was auctioned as “POLLY PARIS, Avon, 1972”. There is a 1972 Avon called POLLY PARIS, but this painting does not match the cover art used on the book, which is by a different artist. 30478 SEAL-WOMAN – Lockley, 1977. When I showed the cover of Avon 35733, GHOST FOX by James Houston, in the 2011 Ziel catalog all I had was a front cover scan. Since then I have seen the actual book, which features this magnificent wraparound cover painting I've attributed to George Ziel. I believe this is Ziel because of similarities to two contemporary Avons that we are sure were painted by George Ziel: THE WAY OF PASSION and CROWN OF PASSION. 45203 KEEPER OF THE CHILDREN – Hallahan, 1979. 40063 THE ENCHANTED LAND – Deveraux, 1978. 75911 THE BLACK LYON – Deveraux, 1980. George Ziel created memorable covers for Jude Deveraux’s first books. They were a heady combination of author and artist. Sadly for Ziel collectors, Deveraux changed publishers to Pocket Books a few years later, where other cover artists were then used. 76414 CROWN OF PASSION – Carew, 1980. 78287 THE WAY OF PASSION – Lee, 1981. Avon 77065 � THE TOUCH OF FIRE by Nella Benson, March 1982. Attributed to George Ziel. Published a few days after George Ziel died, this must have been one of his last covers. We know that Ziel painted a 1981 Avon called THE WAY OF PASSION. I believe this cover art, with a similar feel, to be the work of the same artist.

C.Caswell); published May 16, 1917; $1.50; three copies, two with the stunning dust jacket, now almost exotic in its rarity, with the front flap reading: “Just as THE HARBOR was the story of a constantly changing life out upon the fringe of the city, along its wharves, among its ships, so the story of Roger Gale’s family pictures the growth of a generation out of the embers of the old in the ceaselessly changing heart of New York. How Roger’s three daughters grew into the maturity of their several lives, each one so different, Mr. Poole tells with strong and compelling beauty, touching with deep, whole-hearted conviction some of the most vital problems of our modern way of living!the home, motherhood, children, the school; all of them seen through the realization, which Roger’s dying wife made clear to him, that whatever life may bring, ‘we will live on in our children’s lives.’ The old Gale house down-town is a little fragment of a past generation existing somehow beneath the towering apartments and office-buildings of the altered city. Roger will be remembered when other figures in modern literature have been forgotten, gazing out of his window at the lights of some near-by dwelling lifting high above his home, thinking

A crucial piece of this vision has been to make more visible to an international audience the rich research collections concerning Jews in the vari- ous archives and libraries on the Austin campus. We have prepared this guide to promote the use of these resources by both students and scholars based not only in Austin, but also elsewhere in the United States and around the world. Someone not familiar with the University of Texas may find astonishing the depth, breadth, and importance of these materials. Available for research are resources like the papers of Jewish writers, including Isaac Bashevis Singer, Arthur Miller, and Nor- man Mailer, local history collections of the Texas Jewish Historical Society, exten- ROBERT H.

  • SHUBERT THEATER, 221-233 West 44Th Street, Manhattan
    Landmarks Preservation Commission December 15, 1987; Designation List 198 LP-1378 SHUBERT THEATER, 221-233 West 44th Street, Manhattan. Built 1912-13; architect, Henry B. Herts. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 1016, Lot 15 in part consisting of the land on which the described building is situated. On June 14 and 15, 1982, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a pub 1 ic hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Shubert Theater and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 74). The hearing was continued to October 19, 1982. Both hearings had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Eighty-one witnesses spoke or had statements read into the record in favor of designation. One witness spoke in opposition to designation. The owner, with his representatives, appeared at the hearing, and indicated that he had not formulated an opinion regarding designation. The Commission has received many 1 etters and other express ions of support in favor of this designation. DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS The Shubert Theater survives today as one of the historic theaters that symbolize American theater for both New York and the nation. Built in 1912-13, shortly before World War I, to the designs of Henry B. Herts, the Shubert was one of a pair with the Booth, and was among the numerous theaters constructed by the Shuberts, one of the most active and influential families in American theater history. The Shubert was built as a memorial to Sam S. Shubert, leader of the family's theatrical enterprises until his untimely death in a train wreck.

This year we will also develop our skills as actors in plays and scenes outside the musical theatre repertoire. This year we will explore the history of the genre through specific examples of books and scores from influential musicals from the beginning of the Golden Ages of Broadway in the 1950’s to next generation of musical creators who begin to push the genre in a new direction, often referred to as “concept musicals”. Through a close examination of specific shows you will gain an in depth knowledge of the acting theories required to effectively perform in the swiftly changing genre and an understanding of how the difference in acting style correspond to American history at the time. You will also gain practical knowledge of musical theatre performance by directing, choreographing, and performing scenes from this period’s musical theatre repertoire along with acting theory that supports performance in straight plays from the mid twentieth century including Tennessee Williams. Expectations: Students are expected to be prepared to work when class begins, which includes being dressed and having all of their needed materials for class for that day.

LaGuardia, the mayor of New York City. How he helped the immigrants. How he fought and won his battle with the corrupt, unscrupulous Tammany Hall. How the three-term “Little Flower” became the most beloved mayor of one of the world’s greatest cities. How he could have gone even higher in politics had he not succumbed to pancreatic cancer at the age of 60. Fast forward to 1960 and to a singer and lover of anything I could hum. Hearing such wonderful songs from this Pulitzer Prize winning Broadway mu- sical that had just copped six Tony Awards was to bring back sweet memo- ries of a time gone by. Fast forward even further and here I am having the opportunity to direct Fiorello! It didn’t matter that it encompassed “a cast of thousands” and close to two dozen set changes to be done on a postage-size stage. It was, for me, a dream come true. Now it is said that 80% of the success of a show can be credited to the director’s selection of the cast and the selection of a very talented cre- ative team of the musical director and choreographer.
