    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-03517-0 - Performing the American Frontier, 1870-1906 Roger A. Hall Frontmatter More information Performing the American Frontier, 1870–1906 Performing the American Frontier, 1870–1906 examines how the American frontier was presented in theatrical productions during the critical period from the end of the Civil War to the beginning of cinema. In chronological fashion, the book explores the post-Civil War resurgence of interest in drama about the frontier, which led to a host of action-packed melodramas. From famous personages such as Mark Twain and “Buffalo Bill” Cody to lesser-known individuals such as Native American playwright and actress Gowongo Mohawk, Hall examines the plays, the players, and the playwrights who helped to define the American westward migra- tion in theatrical terms and covers the complete dramatic experience including scenery, performance, and staging.The book demonstrates the extraordinary variety of subject matter and theatrical styles used to dramatize the frontier, and places frontier drama within the context of its society by framing the productions with the contemporary debates on national policies. roger a. hall is Professor of Theatre at James Madison University, Harrisonburg, Virginia. He has written extensively in the field of American theatre and has published in a number of journals including Theatre Journal, Journal of American Culture, Theatre Survey, Nineteenth-Century Theatre, and The Journal of American Drama and Theatre.

    “Between the Creeks” Gwen Pettit This is a compilation of weekly newspaper columns on local history written by Gwen Pettit during 1986-1992 for the Allen Leader and the Allen American in Allen, Texas. Most of these articles were initially written and published, then run again later with changes and additions made. I compiled these articles from the Allen American on microfilm at the Allen Public Library and from the Allen Leader newspapers provided by Mike Williams. Then, I typed them into the computer and indexed them in 2006-07. Lois Curtis and then Rick Mann, Managing Editor of the Allen American gave permission for them to be reprinted on April 30, 2007, [email protected]. Please, contact me to obtain a free copy on a CD. I have given a copy of this to the Allen Public Library, the Harrington Library in Plano, the McKinney Library, the Allen Independent School District and the Lovejoy School District. Tom Keener of the Allen Heritage Guild has better copies of all these photographs and is currently working on an Allen history book. Keener offices at the Allen Public Library. Gwen was a longtime Allen resident with an avid interest in this area’s history. Some of her sources were: Pioneering in North Texas by Capt. Roy and Helen Hall, The History of Collin County by Stambaugh & Stambaugh, The Brown Papers by George Pearis Brown, The Peters Colony of Texas by Seymour V. Conner, Collin County census & tax records and verbal history from local long-time residents of the county. She does not document all of her sources.

Please scroll down to view the document itself. Please refer to the repository record for this item for information to help you to cite it. Our policy information is available from the repository home page. THESIS INTRODUCTION The picture of themselves which the Victorians have handed down to us is of a people who valued morality and respectability, and, perhaps, valued the appearance of it as much as the reality. Perhaps the pursuit of the latter furthered the achievement of the former. They also valued the technological achievements and the revolution in mobility that they witnessed and substantially brought about. Not least did they value the imperial power, formal and informal, that they came to wield over vast tracts of the globe. The intention of the following study is to take these three broad themes which, in the national consciousness, are synonymous with the Victorian age, and examine their applicability to the contemporary theatre, its practitioners, and its audiences. Any capacity to undertake such an investigation rests on the reading for a Bachelor’s degree in History at Warwick, obtained when the University was still abuilding, and an innate if undisciplined attachment to things theatrical, fostered by an elder brother and sister. Such an attachment, to those who share it, will require no elaboration. My special interest will lie in observing how a given theme operated at a particular or local level.

  • Birth of a Hat (Ca
    Birth of a Hat (ca. 1920) PRODUCTION COMPANY: John B. Stetson Company. RUNNING TIME: 16 minutes. Birth of a Hat is an industrial short about, and sponsored by, the John B. Stetson Company. Founded by John Stetson in 1865, the company specializes in the mass manufacture of felt hats. Within ten years of its founding, Stetson developed the widely popular “Boss of the Plains” hat, the inaugural model of the now-traditional cowboy hat.1 By the early 1900s, Stetson hats were the most popular in the American Southwest, and the company operated the largest hat factory in the world, with 5,400 employees, in Philadelphia.2 Wearing a Stetson was a sign of prosperity and success for ranchers, as individual hats made with premium beaver fur could sell for upwards of $20, about $450 in today’s currency.3 In line with the practice of many other prominent manufacturing companies at the time, Stetson invested in a significant promotional exercise: the industrial film. The first three minutes of Birth of a Hat are devoted to a rather perfunctory history of hat making. This demonstrates the film’s dual function of education and promotion, though it also confirms that education was a distant concern in comparison with Stetson’s hope of promoting its product and its image. The remaining fourteen minutes of the film provide an overview of the mechanized process of creating a felt hat from scratch from the pelts of rabbit, nutria, and beaver. The film focuses on the industrial processes of producing a felt Stetson hat, and especially on the relationship between the employee, the machine, and the science behind the 1.
