WASHINGTON Washington University UNIVERSITY IN ST LOUIS Property of WssMngtc-n University MAD -> i ,ac Medical Ubraix ^ 1 ^ ARCHIVES Ind^ RECORD Vol. 9 No. 58/March 14, 1985 Transplantation of insulin-producing cells begin at WU On Jan. 6, WU School of Medicine and Barnes Hospital began a series of transplant operations in which insu- lin-producing (islet) cells are taken from cadaver pancreases and trans- ferred to insulin-dependent diabetics. The primary objective of islet cell transplantation is to provide nor- mal minute-by-minute control of blood sugar, and relieve diabetics of their dependence on insulin injec- tions. Islet transplantation, therefore, is an alternative form of diabetes therapy — not a diabetes cure. While this initial series marks the first time such transplants have been done in St. Louis, similar operations have been done more than 150 times at other transplant centers. In this first phase of clinical trials, researchers will be trying to determine how many viable human islets are required to eliminate a pa- tient's diabetic state. In addition, these clinical trials should confirm whether the spleen is an optimal site for the location of the transplanted cells, as has been indicated in animal studies. All candidates selected for this initial series are insulin-dependent diabetics who previously received a kidney transplant and currently are taking immunosuppressive medica- tion. The medication, which helps prevent kidney rejection, should also Contemporary ceramics: Betty Woodman's "Aspen Garden Room," first created in 1981 for the Aspen Center for the Visual Arts, is in- forestall rejection of the transplanted cluded in the architectural ceramics exhibit March 24 to April 28 in WU's Gallery of Art in Steinberg Hall.

    The Great American Songbook Through the Lens of Judy Garland An Honors Thesis (MUSP 401) By Lindsey Stamper Thesis Advisor Dr. Jon Truitt Ball State University Muncie, Indiana December 2017 Expected Date of Graduation May 2018 0JpCo)} U ndc r.::J r c, a I he c 1 d. i'("; . ._ tJ c ( JP, Abstract r} ,..J... This thesis paper, as well as·the accompanying recital, delves into the topic of The Great American Songbook Through the Lens of Judy Garland. The Great American Songbook is a collection of American standard repertoire from the late nineteenth century to the middle of the twentieth. Judy Garland in particular is an exemplary performer of this period; her life parallels the troubles and careers of many other performers in this era. By exploring and performing songs that Garland performed during her career, this paper relates the history of American music to the life of the acclaimed Judy Garland. Acknowledgments I would like to thank Dr. Jon Truitt for the guidance, insight, advice, and training he has provided me with throughout this project and these past four years. His help with the many performance endeavors of my collegiate career has been invaluable. I would also like to thank my mom and dad for inspiring a curiosity and interest in music at a young age. Lastly, thank you to Julian for always listening with kind and encouraging ears. Process Analysis Statement Recitals, concerts, and cabarets are important events in a music educator's profession. These are the culmination of unseen efforts rehearsing music, planning logistics, and organizing personnel.

  • HELLO DOLLY Program Notes.Pdf
    ` PROGRAM NOTES By Joshua S. Ritter Goodspeed Education & Library Director When Hello, Dolly! opened on Broadway in January of 1964, the nation was still reeling from the shock of President Kennedy’s assassination and apprehensive about the worsening situation in Vietnam. The Beatles invasion had just begun; a youthful fervor for change and rock ‘n’ roll was palpable. David Merrick, a preternaturally gifted producer, could sense the longing of another American generation. He undoubtedly knew the time was right to provide the comfort and nostalgia of a good old-fashioned Broadway musical. After all, he was in possession of a successful theatrical property that was screaming to be set to music. It could also serve as a star vehicle for Ethel Merman, and it contained a 1890’s period flavor that would offer much-needed diversion from current events. Merrick began assembling a team of future Broadway legends to give music and new life to Thorton Wilder’s highly-successful play The Matchmaker. The title would quickly change to Dolly! A Damned Exasperating Woman; Call on Dolly; and finally to Hello, Dolly!. Merrick hired Gower Champion and Michael Stewart, with whom he had previously worked on Carnival!, to stage and adapt the book for what would later be called Hello, Dolly!. Merrick hired the young Jerry Herman to compose the music soon after his success penning the score for his first Broadway musical, Milk and Honey. Champion, Stewart, and Herman worked together to anchor the show to the title song and “Put on your Sunday Clothes.” These became massive production numbers, the former involving whirling waiters, trays of food, and Dolly Levi’s grand descent down a flight of stairs.

  • Broadway 1 a (1893-1927) BROADWAY and the AMERICAN DREAM
    EPISODE ONE Give My Regards to Broadway 1 A (1893-1927) BROADWAY AND THE AMERICAN DREAM In the 1890s, immigrants from all over the world came to the great ports of America like New York City to seek their fortune and freedom. As they developed their own neighborhoods and ethnic enclaves, some of the new arrivals took advantage of the stage to offer ethnic comedy, dance and song to their fellow group members as a much-needed escape from the hardships of daily life. Gradually, the immigrants adopted the characteristics and values of their new country instead, and their performances reflected this assimilation. “Irving Berlin has no place in American music — he is American music.” —composer Jerome Kern My New York (excerpt) Every nation, it seems, Sailed across with their dreams To my New York.

Among other hits, he wrote “Oh, How I Hate to Get Up in the Morning,” “What’ll I Do?,” “There’s No Business Like —Irving Berlin, 1927 Show Business,” “Easter Parade,” and the patriotic “God Bless America,” in addition to shows like Annie Get Your Gun.

  • Tom Marshall's Weekly News, September 12, 2016 Actors And
    Tom Marshall’s Weekly News, September 12, 2016 Actors and Actresses Depicting Famous People: The Weekly News of December 11, 2006, was entitled “Let’s Go to the Movies.” When I was young during the Golden Age of Hollywood, I loved the movies, culminating in the Club House Theater in Yorklyn, which I operated for two seasons in 1947 and 1948. From the 1930s through the ‘50s, leading stars of the screen were under contract with the big studios and often took roles not to their liking. Among the features during this period was the portrayal of American heroes in full-length films, which carried over to historical documentaries on TV. The earlier movies took liberties with actual facts, but they were popular. Big name stars were often asked to portray historical figures. Sometimes they were honored to do it; often they “had to.” Following is the list of those I can recall. Spencer Tracy: Clarence Darrow, Father Flanagan, Christopher Jones, Jimmy Doolittle, Thomas Edison, Robert Rogers. Edward Arnold: Pawnee Bill, Daniel Webster Walter Hampden: Thomas Jefferson Hal Holbrook: John Adams, Mark Twain, Abraham Lincoln Henry Fonda: Abraham Lincoln James Stewart: Glenn Miller, Charles A.

  • Hello Dolly ...Full Name Mrs Dolly Gallagher Levi, but Where Does She Come From? She Is Obviously of Irish Extraction Before
    Hello Dolly ...full name Mrs Dolly Gallagher Levi, but where does she come from? She is obviously of Irish extraction before her marriage to Ephraim Levi. Different directors and actresses have therefore had a choice about which particular aspect to emphasise. However, she really owes as much to Ancient Rome as Ireland for it was here in about 200BC that a farce was written about two slaves who run away from their master for a day on the town. The farce has been adapted many times since: A Day Well Spent by John Oxenford (London, 1835); He's out for a fling by John Nestroy (Vienna, 1842) and On the Razzle by Tom Stoppard (1981, London), amongst others. The Wisconsin-born playwright, Thornton Wilder, came by Nestroy's version of the play and adapted it as The Merchant of Yonkers (1938) and later, following a complete re-write, called it The Matchmaker (first performed at the Edinburgh Festival in 1954). Thus, the focus has shifted from the two young slaves/shop employees via the crusty merchant, finally to rest on Dolly Levi in The Matchmaker and it is this version on which Michael Stewart and Jerry Herman based their hit musical, Hello Dolly! in 1964. Dolly Levi is a widowed marriage broker who is instructed to find a second wife for Horace Vandergelder, an impossibly cantankerous merchant from Yonkers, New York. Dolly decides, however, that she is going to marry him herself. She must now sabotage the match she's fixed up, (Mrs Molloy, a young widow and milliner from New York), and takes advantage of the fact that Vandergelder's two store clerks, Cornelius and Barnaby, are planning a clandestine day-trip to New York whilst Vandergelder himself is in the City.
