Descriptive Summary Creator: Various Title: Brooklyn Theater Playbills and Programs Collection Date Span: 1875-1972 Abstract: The Brooklyn Theater Playbills and Programs Collection consists of 800 playbills and programs for motion pictures, musical concerts, high school commencement exercises, lectures, photoplays, vaudeville, and burlesque, as well as the more traditional offerings such as plays and operas, all from Brooklyn theaters. Quantity: 2.25 linear feet Location: Brooklyn Collection Map Room, cabinet 11 Repository: Brooklyn Public Library – Brooklyn Collection Reference Code: BC0071 Scope and Content Note The 800 items in the Brooklyn Theater Playbills and Programs Collection, which occupies 2.25 cubic feet, easily refute the stereotypes of Brooklyn as provincial and insular. From the late 1880s until the 1940s, the period covered by the bulk of these materials, the performing arts thrived in Brooklyn and were available to residents right at their doorsteps. At one point, there were over 200 theaters in Brooklyn. Frequented by the rich, the middle class and the working poor, they enjoyed mass popularity. With materials from 115 different theaters, the collection spans almost a century, from 1875 to 1972. The highest concentration is in the years 1890 to 1909, with approximately 450 items.

  • The Most Vociferous Screwball Comedies: the Miracle of Morgan’S Creek and Hail the Conquering Hero Yukiko Arimori
    The Most Vociferous Screwball Comedies: The Miracle of Morgan’s Creek and Hail the Conquering Hero Yukiko Arimori Preface The Miracle of Morgan’s Creek (1944) and Hail the Conquering Hero (1944), written and directed by Preston Sturges, have received critical acclaim as masterpieces of screwball comedy. They have a lot in common: both feature a plot set in the rural community in America under the Word War II, and both of the male protagonists are 4F (unfit for military service) played by Eddie Bracken. Most of all, both films are outstanding among Sturges films in terms of their vociferous comic universe. Sturges has been admired for being “masterful with noisy crowds” (Farber 99). There is also such a testimony as “The noisier and more confused the environment, the better he seemed to like it” while at work on the studio (Curtis 146). It seems to mean that the unique quality of his films, most remarkably represented by vociferous comedy sequence, culminates with The Miracle of Morgan’s Creek and Hail the Conquering Hero. Focusing on these two films, this essay aims to explore how Sturges successfully created the noisiest screwball comedies. It is significant in this context to call attention to the relationship between Bracken’s hero and other supporting role characters surrounding him. As previous studies have pointed out, unique supporting role characters played by character actors and actresses, known as the Sturges Stock Company, are essential to Sturges’ noisy comic universe.1 Brian Henderson evaluates that “Sturges’s visual style in Hail the Conquering Hero marks a new turn in his cinema”: In scene after scene, physical reality is all but eclipsed by wall-to-wall characters; faces and bodies literally fill the screen… virtually eclipsing their setting and making the characters and only them the film’s mise-en-scéne.
