Wood iii Copyright © 2019 Kelly Clayton iv ABSTRACT FROM MIDWAY TO MAINSTAGE: DALLAS STRIPTEASE 1946-1960 Kelly Clayton, MA Texas A&M University-Commerce, 2019 Advisor: Jessica Brannon-Wranosky PhD The entertainment landscape of post-World War II Dallas, Texas included striptease in different types of venues. Travelling and local striptease acts performed at the city’s annual fair and in several nightclubs in the city. In the late 1940s, the fair featured striptease as the headlining act, and one of the city’s newspapers, the Dallas Morning News, described the dancers as the most popular attraction of the largest fair in the United States. Further, the newspaper reporting congratulated the men who ran the fair for providing Texans with these popular entertainment options. The dancers who performed at the fair also showcased their talents at area nightclubs to mixed gender audiences. Dallas welcomed striptease as an acceptable form of entertainment. However, in the early 1950s, the tone and tenor of the striptease coverage changed. The State Fair of Texas executives decried striptease as “soiled” and low-class. Dancers performed in nightclubs, but the newspaper began to report on one particular entertainer, Candy Barr, and her many tangles with law enforcement.

  • THE TEXAS CONFEDERATE HOME for MEN, 1884-1970 Amy Sue Kirchenbauer, B.A
    THE TEXAS CONFEDERATE HOME FOR MEN, 1884-1970 Amy Sue Kirchenbauer, B.A. Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 2011 APPROVED: Richard Lowe, Major Professor Richard McCaslin, Committee Member and Chair of the Department of History Harland Hagler, Committee Member James D. Meernik, Acting Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Kirchenbauer, Amy Sue, The Texas Confederate Home for Men, 1884-1970. Master of Arts (History), August 2011, 116 pp., bibliography, 91 titles. Founded in 1886 by a local veteran’s organization, the Texas Confederate Home for Men served thousands of veterans throughout its tenure. State-run beginning in 1891, the facility became the center of controversy multiple times, with allegations of mistreatment of residents, misappropriation of funds, and unsanitary conditions in the home. Despite these problems, for several decades the home effectively provided large numbers of needy veterans with a place where they could live out their remaining years. The home was finally closed by the state in 1965, and the buildings were demolished in 1970. The facility’s success helped to inspire Texas to introduce a veteran pension system, and brought forth a new era in the state’s willingness to take care of veterans once their wars were over. Copyright 2011 by Amy Sue Kirchenbauer ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This work would not have been completed without the guidance of Dr. Richard Lowe. He urged me frequently to move beyond the limits of what I thought myself to be capable of, and I am a better historian for it. His dedication to helping me achieve my dreams and hours spent editing my efforts will always be appreciated.

  • Grandson Stumbles Upon His Ancestors' Graves in the Pioneer Cemeteries in Downtown Dallas by Sam V
    DALLAS GE:\EALO(:UCAL SOCIETY Grandson Stumbles Upon His Ancestors' Graves in the Pioneer Cemeteries in Downtown Dallas By Sam V. Akins While giving my then 13 year old grandson, Brayden Harris of Austin, Texas, a tour of historical sites in downtown Dallas, we visited the herd of bronze Texas Longhorns, the "Old Red" Court House, the Dallas Public Library, the Sixth Floor Museum and fast the Pioneer Cemeteries1 next to the convention center. My ancestor, Elder Amon McCommas, was the sixth man to bring his family to the village of Dallas in 1844. He-was the first Christian preacher, first County Justice (Judge), and President of the first County Fair, the forerunner of the present day State Fair of Texas. He also signed the deed donating land for the land where the Old Red Court House now stands. But we went to the Pioneer Cemetery to see the beautiful memorial monument to Robert E. Lee and his Confederate Generals sinfe my grandson is a civil war buff and the "other side" of his family believes they are related to Lee. After photographing him with the Lee memorial we wandered through the remainder of the stpnes, which have not been vandalized over the years. He particularly wanted to see the markers for the military veterans and heroes buried there. I visited the cemetery several times before but found no McCommas kin buried there since most are in the Cox Cemetery near White Rock Lake. Brayden literally stumbled upon a concrete stone with nothing left on the base but a War of 1812 memorial plaque and the name George H.

    Texas Hill Country Trail Region State Fair Information 2019 September 27 - October 20, 2019 FAIR FACTS: The State Fair of Texas (www.BigTex.com), as one of America's largest, longest (since 1886), and most historic state fairs, provides a unique venue for the promotion of heritage tourism as an important Texas product. To this end, the Texas Heritage Trails Program rents a 400 Square Ft booth for all Trail Regions and the THC to share in greeting and educating the public, distributing travel literature and giveaways, and promoting the authentic, meaningful experience of travel in Texas. There's a lot of worthwhile background at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_Fair_of_Texas. Over 24 days of the Fair, some 2.4 million visitors will attend from within and outside Texas. The THTP booth is situated in one of the most popular pavilions, the Texas Department of Agriculture's Go Texan Pavilion, where heritage tourism is naturally branded as a "made in Texas" product. Traffic through the booth is almost constant and sometimes very heavy, requiring two to three staff to work each shift.

  • Big Sid” Catlett: the Development of Modern Jazz Drumming Style”
    ARTIMISI, ANTHONY B., D.M.A. The Study of Jeff Porcaro's Musical Style and the Development of an Analytical Model for the Study of Drum Set Style in Popular Music. (2011) Directed by Dr. David Nelson and Dr. Kristopher Keeton. 206 pp. Jeffrey Thomas Porcaro was one of the preeminent drummers from the middle of the 1970‘s through his untimely passing on August 5, 1992. He was a founding member of the Grammy Award winning band, Toto, and the list of albums on which his drumming appears includes six hundred ninety-three entries. His willingness to help others and commitment to excellence made a lasting impact on the drumming community and the music industry as a whole. The goal of this research was to complete an analysis of Porcaro‘s drumming style. In order to accomplish this goal, a model was developed that allowed for the analysis of drum set performance based on Robert Breithaupt‘s article entitled ―Musical Considerations for Drumset Improvisation.‖ This article identified nine strategies teachers can use with young students regarding drum set improvisation. Seven of these strategies were used to form a comparative analytical model of musical elements which created a summary of drumming style implemented on Jeff Porcaro for the purposes of this paper: Dynamics, Rate of Strokes, Accents, Rests and Rhythmic Figures, Unisons, Hand-to-Foot Distribution and Special Effects. Porcaro‘s peers and colleagues identified six songs as being representative of his drumming: Boz Scaggs‘s ―Lowdown,‖ ―Lido Shuffle,‖ ―Gimme the Goods‖ and ―Jojo,‖ Steely Dan‘s ―Gaucho,‖ and Toto‘s ―Rosanna.‖ The analytical model applied to the choruses of these songs shows that Porcaro manipulated the different musical elements in a variety of way in order to build to a musical peak during the final chorus of each song.
