  • Broadside Read- a Brief Chronology of Major Events in Trous Failure
    NEWSLETTER OF THE THEATRE LIBRARY ASSOCIATION Volume 17, Number 1/Volume 17, Number 2 SPECIAL DOUBLE ISSUE Summer/Fa111989 EXHIBITION SURVEYS MANHATTAN'S EARLY THEATRE HISTORY L An exhibition spotlighting three early New York theatres was on view in the Main I Gallery of The New York Public Library at Lincoln Center from February 13, 1990 through March 31, 1990. Focusing on the Park Theatre on Park Row, Niblo's Garden on Broadway and Prince Street, and Wal- lack's, later called the Star, on Broadway and 13th Street, the exhibition attempted to show, through the use of maps, photo- graphic blowups, programs and posters, the richness of the developing New York theatre scene as it moved northward from lower Manhattan. The Park Theatre has been called "the first important theatre in the United States." It opened on January 29, 1798, across from the Commons (the Commons is now City Hall Park-City Hall was built in 1811). The opening production, As You Like It, was presented with some of the fin- est scenery ever seen. The theatre itself, which could accommodate almost 2,000, was most favorably reviewed. It was one of the most substantial buildings erected in the city to that date- the size of the stage was a source of amazement to both cast and audience. In the early nineteenth century, to increase ticket sales, manager Stephen Price introduced the "star sys- tem" (the importation of famous English stars). This kept attendance high but to some extent discouraged the growth of in- digenous talent. In its later days the Park was home to a fine company, which, in addition to performing the classics, pre- sented the work of the emerging American playwrights.

  • From Richard III to Rex I
    NEW ORLEANS NOSTALGIA Remembering New Orleans History, Culture and Traditions By Ned Hémard From Richard III to Rex I Tower of London was a 1939 movie starring Basil Rathbone as the future Richard III of England, with Boris Karloff as the fictional executioner Mord. Vincent Price appeared as George, Duke of Clarence, in this quasi-horror historical drama. In 1962 Tower of London was remade by Roger Corman, this time starring Vincent Price in the lead role as Richard III. Francis Ford Coppola worked on the movie as dialogue director. Vincent Price, Jr. (May 27, 1911 – October 25, 1993), the American actor with the perfect voice for horror movies, grew up in Saint Louis, Missouri, in a well-to-do family whose wealth was made possible years earlier when his grandfather invented “Dr. Price’s Baking Powder”. “The Prices loved to travel”, wrote the actor’s daughter, Victoria Price. “Marguerite and Vincent Sr. had been to Europe, and as their children grew older, whenever they could the couple took shorter trips to interesting cities such as New Orleans … returning with ‘artistic’ souvenirs”. From his travels at home and abroad, young Vincent Price acquired a passion for art and, along with an art history major at Yale University, an interest in the theatre. Despite his long career performing in films of the macabre, Price began as a character actor. He gave a memorable performance in the film Laura in 1944. In the 1950s, viewers enjoyed wearing 3-D glasses to watch Price in House of Wax and thrilled to The Fly (1958) and Return of the Fly (1959).

  • The Shakespeare Tradition in Philadelphia. 161
    The Shakespeare Tradition in Philadelphia. 161 THE SHAKESPEARE TRADITION IN PHILADELPHIA. BY JOSEPH JACKSON. (Read before the Contemporary Club, March 13, 1916.) About twenty-five years ago Walt Whitman told his Boswell, Horace Traubel, that Shakespeare would be laid on the upper shelf, but I have a suspicion that the iiGood Gray Poet" unintentionally deceived his liter- ary executor, for there is no evidence that the drama- tist is passe, though he may have become more classic. The fact is, the city fathers tried to lay the bard on the shelf the first time he showed his head, and they did succeed in driving him out of town. Fortunately, Philadelphia in numerous ways has made amends for its hasty conduct in 1749. In driving away the com- pany of actors who strove to enlighten the Quaker City, the Council very nearly prevented this city from enjoy- ing the distinction of being the first on this continent to witness a Shakespearean play. The theatrical histories give the credit to New York, but the evidence, or rather the inference, is that it was in Philadelphia, and not in New York, that Eichard IH received its initial presentation in America. We know from the journals of the Common Council, that in the early winter of 1749, William Allen, the Becorder of the City—he of the splendid turn-out- four black horses and an imported English coachman- acquainted the Council that certain persons had taken it upon themselves to act plays, and as he was in- formed, to have made a practice thereof.

  • John Wilkes Booth's Other Photograph from Richmond 1859-1860
    John Wilkes Booth’s Other Photograph from Richmond 1859-1860 By Angela Smythe May 10, 2014 Vetting Booth’s Photograph Taken in Costume as Uncas, Chief of the Mohicans Garry Davidson (1849-1923) “Garry Davidson, the super-property man the super any sort of a man, when honor, loyalty, service are standard! Garry, once of Booth's Theatre, but for some seasons past of the Lawrence Barrett Company, said he felt he was in heaven. "Why ! I am seeing Mr. Booth every day again, and in the theatre at rehearsal. What more could I want?' There was only one Garry ever! He alone won the implicit trust of both these great artists.1” In 1908 Otis Skinner told the story of Edwin Booth’s devoted “property man,” Garrison (Garry) Davidson observing the dramatic destruction of John Wilkes’s possessions by his brother Edwin. 2 It is not the purpose of this paper to vet the totality of that story, but to focus solely on the factuality, and thus the credibility, of two parts as they relate to a printed photograph of John Wilkes Booth taken while in 1 Goodale, Katherine (Kitty Molony) Behind the Scenes with Edwin Booth; Boston &New York, Houghton Mifflin Company, 1931, Pg. 14 1 Richmond 1859-1860. This paper will first establish that some version of the event actually occurred, and secondly establish the destruction, and thus, the existence, of a photographic print of John Wilkes Booth taken in costume stemming from Richmond 1859-1860. Garry’s Own Story Otis Skinner’s 1908 fabled rendition of “Garry’s” account of Edwin Booth’s dramatic “midnight” (actually early morning hours) burning of John Wilkes trunks might simply be attributed to journalistic sensationalism, an example of a Mark Twainism’s to “never let the truth get in the way of a good story,” except for the fact that in 1896, three years after his beloved employer’s death, Garry, himself had described the event.
