Florence Austral EPHEMERA COLLECTION FINDING AID J.C. Williamson pantomime programs Performing Arts Programs and Ephemera (PROMPT) Australian Collection Development James Cassius Williamson was an American actor who immigrated to Australia in the 1870s. Along with business partners, such as William Musgrove, his theatre company became one of the most dominant in colonial Australia. After his death in 1913 the company, now named J. C. Williamson Ltd. continued under the direction of George Tallis and the Tait brothers (who remained involved in the company until the 1970s). J. C. Williamson continued to be one of the biggest theatre companies in Australia throughout the first three quarters of the 20th century. J. C. Williamson held the license for theatres in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide and New Zealand (at times more than one theatre in each city). In 1976 the company closed, but the name was licensed until the mid 1980s. This list includes pantomimes held in J. C. Williamson theatres, as well as those produced by J. C. Williamson and performed in other theatres under venue hire arrangements. The list also includes libretti for overseas pantomime productions collected by J. C. Williamson for their corporate archive. Content Printed materials in the PROMPT collection include programs and printed ephemera such as brochures, leaflets, tickets, etc. Theatre programs are taken as the prime documentary evidence of a performance staged by the J.C. Williamson company. In a few cases however, the only evidence of a performance is a piece of printed ephemera. In these cases the type of piece is identified, eg, brochure. The list is based on imperfect holdings and is updated as gaps in the Library’s holdings for these artists are filled. Unless otherwise stated, all entries are based on published programs in the PROMPT collection. Access The J.C. Williamson PROMPT files may be accessed through the Library’s Petherick Reading Room by eCallslip request: http://nla.gov.au/nla.cat-vn3666448. Arrangement This list has two sections: .

  • The Mousmé and the Cultural Mobility of Musical Comedy
    6 Henry Balme Yale University, USA Between Modernism and Japonism: The Mousmé and the cultural mobility of musical comedy Edwardian musical comedy had been sidelined in music and theatre histories due to its conservative design and frivolous narratives, but it is now being critically reassessed for the role it played in the creation of a first globalised network of theatre. The Mousmé is a work that exemplifies the process of performative re- contextualisation that accompanied musical comedies as they travelled from London’s West End across the world, as far as Yokohama and Tokyo. The work appealed to British audiences because it was held to be a realistic reconstruction of Japanese culture and society, but it was also enjoyed by Japanese audiences, despite its stereotypical portrayal of their people. This apparent dichotomy is explored in this essay, which presents little-known documents surrounding the production and its travels. It sheds light on how musical theatre became culturally mobile during the first age of globalisation. Henry Balme is a full-time Ph.D. candidate in Music History at the Department of Music of Yale University. He completed his M.St. at the University of Oxford (2015) and his B.Mus. at City, University of London. Keywords: Bandmann Opera Company, cultural mobility, Edwardian musical comedy, Florence Smithson, George Edwardes, globalisation, japonism, Maurice E. Bandmann, modernity ulture is rarely stable or fixed.1 This claim is corroborated by the global Ctransmission and reception of Edwardian musical comedy. For a long time the genre had been considered an obscure part of musical theatre history and thus demoted to the sidelines of musicology and theatre studies.2 It is now being critically re-assessed for the importance it played in the globalisation of theatre during the first fifteen years of the twentieth century: musical comedy became a medium of extraordinary mobility, transmitted via the transnational travel and communication networks that had been put into place during the nineteenth century.

  • The Reception of the Affaire Dreyfus in British Literature and Culture, 1894-1940
    Dipartimento di Studi Europei, Americani e Interculturali Dottorato di ricerca in Scienze del testo THE RECEPTION OF THE AFFAIRE DREYFUS IN BRITISH LITERATURE AND CULTURE, 1894-1940 Alessandra Crotti Matricola 1750394 Relatore Prof. Riccardo Capoferro A.A. 2018-2019 Abstract: La tesi propone lo studio della ricezione dell'Affaire Dreyfus (1894-1906) nella vita politica e culturale inglese della prima metà del ventesimo secolo attraverso l'analisi della sua rappresentazione nella produzione letteraria. Pur appartenendo alla vita politica e culturale della Francia moderna, l'Affaire Dreyfus divenne oggetto di ampio dibattito anche in territorio inglese, intrecciandosi con la storia della società tardo-vittoriana tra il 1897 e il 1900. In Gran Bretagna come in Francia, l'Affaire instaurò un forte legame con la letteratura, con la vita degli intellettuali e con il romanzo, entrando con forza nei testi sia a livello tematico che formale. Nonostante l'entità del fenomeno Dreyfus, la presenza dell'Affaire nella produzione letteraria inglese è raramente riconosciuta e mai studiata. La ricerca intende quindi muoversi verso una ricostruzione quanto più possibile completa della ricezione dell'Affaire Dreyfus in Gran Bretagna passando attraverso lo specchio della letteratura, sia popolare che canonica. La prima parte dell’indagine è quindi dedicata alla produzione culturale e letteraria popolare: dopo aver descritto la presenza pervasiva dell’Affaire nell’ambito dell’intrattenimento popolare, verrà analizzata l’assenza (assoluta e quindi sospetta) dell’Affaire nel romanzo gotico di fine secolo, sito preferenziale di rappresentazione delle fantasie di eliminazione dell’altro. In seguito, verrà evidenziato il ruolo chiave che il caso Dreyfus ebbe come catalizzatore della nascita della spy story inglese, rintracciando temi, motivi e caratterizzazioni ad esso ispirati.

    1920 1 MEDORAH London run: Alhambra, January 22 nd – March 13 th (60 performances) Music: Vada Ennem Book & Lyrics Denn Spranklin English adaptation: Rupert Hazell English lyrics : Adrian Ross Additional numbers : John Ansell Director: E. Dagnell Choreographer: Will Bishop Musical Director : John Anstell Cast: Leo Stormont ( Sultan), Ada Reeve (Medorah), W.S. Percy ( Dadoolah), Jamieson Dodds (Vernon Grant ), Leslie Stiles ( Ambassador Manston), Margaret Campbell ( Mrs Manston) Songs: Tomorrow’s Another Day, There’s Always a Drawback, Like a Dream. Wonderful Joy, Hope Again, Love and My Soul Alone Story: In Caravanistan beauty is measured in physical bulk, the heavier the better. The Sultan’s eldest daughter, Medorah, is thin, too thin to be an eligible bride. Chancellor Dadoolah suggests she is sent to America for the purposes of putting on weight – a suggestion that delights her because she has fallen in love with Vernon Grant, the man who accompanied the American ambassador and his wife to a reception in the Sultan’s palace. They meet again in Washington, and when she is summoned back to Caravanistan , Vernon secretly follows. Meantime, after various adventures, Vernon is captured and forced to work as a slave in the Sultan’s household. With no hope of marrying his underweight daughter to a prince, the Sultan condemns her to marry his new slave – and thus Medorah and Vernon are happily united. Notes: The original publicity declared that “Medorah” was jointly produced by Mr. Bernard J. Hishin and Sir Oswald Stoll, but within a week of opening, the show was subject to a legal dispute in the Court of Chancery, with Violet Melnotte claiming (and winning) half-ownership in the copyright of the English version of this Dutch original.

    INFORMATION TO USERS Tins reproduction was made from a copy o f a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality o f the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or “ target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “ Missing Pagc(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing pagc(s) or section, they arc spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication o f either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image o f the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part o f the material being photographed, a definite method o f “ sectioning" the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer o f a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again-beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.

  • Exchange’
    Dysfunctional Family Makes for Dark Comedy in The Lyons ” This is a show that deals with life, death and everything in between–” The Lyons at 2nd Story The lives of a dysfunctional family take center stage in the black comedy The Lyons, which opened in previews January 10 and is running through February 9 at Warren’s 2nd Story Theatre. The Lyons was written by Nicky Silver and debuted on Broadway at the Cort Theatre in April 2012. This is a show that deals with life, death and everything in between. Paula Faber, a veteran member of the theater’s acting company, gives a tour de force performance as Rita, the overbearing wife of Ben Lyons (Vince Petronio), who is dying from cancer. Rita, stuck in a 40- year loveless marriage, now thinks of the future without Ben and plans to re-decorate their home. Ben lays in his hospital bed and speaks in a flurry of profanities. He is constantly annoyed by Rita and despises her. Their grown children Curtis (Kevin Broccoli) and Lisa (Lara Hakeem) also come to his hospital room to pay a visit. Lisa has left an abusive marriage and is a recovering alcoholic. Curtis, who is gay, has had little to do with his father, who is homophobic. Throughout the play, all the resentments between the Lyons bubble up to the surface. Rita is a fundamentally selfish woman who will not spare anyone’s feelings. However, she is not a one dimensional caricature either. Late in Act One, while her husband sleeps under dimmed lights, Rita realizes how empty her life will be once Ben is gone.
