General UCLA Catalog Record ID: 8101399 Biography/History The Valley Music Theatre broke ground in Woodland Hills, CA in January 1964. The 2,865-seat theatre-in-the-round was located at 20600 Ventura Blvd., between Winnetka and Canoga Aves. The goal was to produce and present live musical-dramatic stage productions in the San Fernando Valley. Officers included president Nick Mayo, vice president and treasurer Randolph Hale, and vice president and secretary Art Linkletter. Stockholders included Bob Hope, Danny Thomas, Janet Blair, Marjorie Lord, Ed Begley, and John Raitt, among others. The opening of the theater, on July 7, 1964, featured The Sound of Music as a benefit premiere for the Pi Beta Phi Alumnae Club and affiliated groups of the Crippled Children's Society of Los Angeles County. The productions staged during the theater's tenure were A Man for All Seasons (with Charlton Heston), Medea (with Judith Anderson), and Come Back Little Shea (with Shirley Booth) among others.

In September of 1966, the Los Angeles Times reported The Valley Music Theatre filed bankruptcy. In 1967 attempts were made to sell the theater to the City of Los Angeles, but proposals for the purchase were defeated by the City Council. Efforts to revive the facility included attractions such as professional boxing matches. The theater was sold in the 1970s to the Valley congregation of the Jehovah's Witnesses and used as an assembly hall. It was eventually resold, and in ca. 2007 the Valley Music Theatre was demolished and the site used to construct a luxury apartment complex and work lofts.

  • ANTA Theater and the Proposed Designation of the Related Landmark Site (Item No
    Landmarks Preservation Commission August 6, 1985; Designation List 182 l.P-1309 ANTA THFATER (originally Guild Theater, noN Virginia Theater), 243-259 West 52nd Street, Manhattan. Built 1924-25; architects, Crane & Franzheim. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 1024, Lot 7. On June 14 and 15, 1982, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the ANTA Theater and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 5). The hearing was continued to October 19, 1982. Both hearings had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Eighty-three witnesses spoke in favor of designation. Two witnesses 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 letters and other expressions of support in favor of this designation. DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS The ANTA Theater survives today as one of the historic theaters that symbolize American theater for both New York and the nation. Built in the 1924-25, the ANTA was constructed for the Theater Guild as a subscription playhouse, named the Guild Theater. The fourrling Guild members, including actors, playwrights, designers, attorneys and bankers, formed the Theater Guild to present high quality plays which they believed would be artistically superior to the current offerings of the commercial Broadway houses. More than just an auditorium, however, the Guild Theater was designed to be a theater resource center, with classrooms, studios, and a library. The theater also included the rrost up-to-date staging technology.

    THE ELEANOR ROOSEVELT PROGRAM April 13, 1951 Description: In the opening segment, ER and Elliott Roosevelt respond to a listener's question about the different commissions that are a part of the United Nations. In the interview segment, ER's guest is Shakespearean actor Maurice Evans. In a final segment, ER quotes a passage from the Declaration of Independence. Participants: ER, Elliott Roosevelt, Maurice Evans [ER:] How do you do? This is Eleanor Roosevelt speaking. It gives me great pleasure to visit with you as I do each day at this time from my living room atop the Park Sheraton Hotel overlooking New York. I'm grateful for the many encouraging letters you send me, and most happy that you find my guests both informative and entertaining as I do. Now my son Elliott, who assists me on these programs will speak to you. [Elliott Roosevelt] Yes I will Mother, thank you. Today's guest Mr. Maurice Evans [1901-1989] has brought Shakespearian plays to life for many people in many places but his role on today's program will be strictly Mr. Evans playing himself. Mrs. Roosevelt will introduce him a little later on the program but first we're going to look over the mail and also hear a message from the sponsors who make this recorded program possible. (Break 1:00-1:05) [Elliott Roosevelt:] Mother, today I have a request from Mrs. Tony Rosengarten of Point Pleasant Pennsylvania. She says she wants to learn much more from you about the United Nations, and especially about the different commissions, what is done and what could have been done.

  • Asian American Romantic Comedies and Sociopolitical Influences
    FROM PRINT TO SCREEN: ASIAN AMERICAN ROMANTIC COMEDIES AND SOCIOPOLITICAL INFLUENCES Karena S. Yu TC 660H Plan II Honors Program The University of Texas at Austin May 2019 ______________________________ Madhavi Mallapragada, Ph.D. Department of Radio-Television-Film Supervising Professor ______________________________ Chiu-Mi Lai, Ph.D. Department of Asian Studies Second Reader Abstract Author: Karena S. Yu Title: From Print to Screen: Asian American Romantic Comedies and Sociopolitical Influences Supervisor: Madhavi Mallapragada, Ph.D. In this thesis, I examine how sociopolitical contexts and production cultures have affected how original Asian American narrative texts have been adapted into mainstream romantic comedies. I begin by defining several terms used throughout my thesis: race, ethnicity, Asian American, and humor/comedy. Then, I give a history of Asian American media portrayals, as these earlier images have profoundly affected the ways in which Asian Americans are seen in media today. Finally, I compare the adaptation of humor in two case studies, Flower Drum Song (1961) which was created by Rodgers and Hammerstein, and Crazy Rich Asians (2018) which was directed by Jon M. Chu. From this analysis, I argue that both seek to undercut the perpetual foreigner myth, but the difference in sociocultural incentives and control of production have resulted in more nuanced portrayals of some Asian Americans in the latter case. However, its tendency to push towards the mainstream has limited its ability to challenge stereotyped representations, and it continues to privilege an Americentric perspective. 2 Acknowledgements I owe this thesis to the support and love of many people. To Dr. Mallapragada, thank you for helping me shape my topic through both your class and our meetings.

Since its 1903 debut, with Ethel Barrymore starring in a comedy titled Cousin Kate , the Hudson, Tlocated on West 44th Street, between Seventh and Sixth Avenues, has played host to premieres by Somerset Maugham, Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse, and Lillian Hellman, starring, among others, Judith Anderson, Van Heflin, Maureen Stapleton, Laurence Olivier, Jason Robards Jr., Jane Fonda, and Geraldine Page. The theatre has had many lives since in the following decades; its return provides Broadway with a much-needed additional house for intimate drama and musicals. As a bonus, its new owner, the London-based Ambassador Theatre Group, appears determined to keep the Hudson busy. The theatre reopened in March, with a limited-engagement revival of the musical Sunday in the Park with George , starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Annaleigh Ashford. It will be followed by a stage adaptation of George Orwell’s 1984 , a transfer from London’s Almeida Theatre, starring Tom Sturridge, Olivia Wilde, and Reed Birney. Originally designed by William H. McElfatrick, a noted turn-of-the-last-centu - a k ry theatre architect, the Hudson was built by Henry B. Harris, a successful pro - a M g ducer, who also was responsible for the Fulton Theatre, later known as the e r G : Helen Hayes, on 46th Street.

  • Applying a Rhizomatic Lens to Television Genres
    A THOUSAND TV SHOWS: APPLYING A RHIZOMATIC LENS TO TELEVISION GENRES _______________________________________ A Dissertation presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School at the University of Missouri-Columbia _______________________________________________________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy _____________________________________________________ by NETTIE BROCK Dr. Ben Warner, Dissertation Supervisor May 2018 The undersigned, appointed by the dean of the Graduate School, have examined the Dissertation entitled A Thousand TV Shows: Applying A Rhizomatic Lens To Television Genres presented by Nettie Brock A candidate for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy And hereby certify that, in their opinion, it is worthy of acceptance. ________________________________________________________ Ben Warner ________________________________________________________ Elizabeth Behm-Morawitz ________________________________________________________ Stephen Klien ________________________________________________________ Cristina Mislan ________________________________________________________ Julie Elman ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Someone recently asked me what High School Nettie would think about having written a 300+ page document about television shows. I responded quite honestly: “High School Nettie wouldn’t have been surprised. She knew where we were heading.” She absolutely did. I have always been pretty sure I would end up with an advanced degree and I have always known what that would involve. The only question was one of how I was going to get here, but my favorite thing has always been watching television and movies. Once I learned that a job existed where I could watch television and, more or less, get paid for it, I threw myself wholeheartedly into pursuing that job. I get to watch television and talk to other people about it. That’s simply heaven for me. A lot of people helped me get here.

  • Academy of Television Arts & Sciences
    67 YEARS OF EMMY® 1948 The Emmy Awards are conceived. The Television Academy’s founding fathers struggle to name the award: Television Academy founder Syd Cassyd suggests “Ike,” the nickname for the television iconoscope tube. Pioneer television engineer and future (1949) Academy president Harry Lubcke suggests “Immy,” a nickname for the image-orthicon camera tube instrumental in the technical development of television. “Immy” is feminized as “Emmy” because the statuette, designed by engineer Louis McManus (who enlisted his wife Dorothy to model for it) depicts the winged “muse of art uplifting the electron of science.” 1949 First Emmy Awards – given to Los Angeles area programming – take place at the Hollywood Athletic Club on January 25. Tickets are $5.00. It is broadcast on local station KTSL. There are less than a million television sets in the U.S. The master of ceremonies was popular TV host Walter O’Keefe. Six awards are given: Most Outstanding Television Personality: Twenty-year-old Shirley Dinsdale and her puppet sidekick Judy Splinters for “The Judy Splinters Show.” The Station Award for Outstanding Overall Achievement: KTLA (the first commercial television station west of the Mississippi River). Technical Award: Engineer Charles Mesak of Don Lee Television for the introduction of TV camera technology. The Best Film Made for Television: “The Necklace” (a half hour adaptation of Guy de Maupassant's classic short story). Most Popular Television Program: “Pantomime Quiz.” A special Emmy is presented to Louis McManus for designing the statuette. 1950 Second Emmy Awards (January 27, Ambassador Hotel) KFI-TV broadcasts, the six other Los Angeles area stations share expense of the telecast.
