Iddunicipal ^sdudito PROGRAM Program Notes by Dr. Malcolm H. Dewey OVERTURE TO TANNHAUSER..................................................Richard Wagner (1813-1883) Had Richard Wagner capitalized upon the success of his first grand opera, Rienzi (1842), he might have gone on to be another Meyerbeer, but possibly little more. For here was opera which succeeded by the brilliance of the spectacle and the music rather than through intrinsic merit. It matters little that he failed to repeat the success in the Flying Dutchman, which followed within a year; a new Wagner was in evidence, certainly in more than embryonic state. Tempted though he was to return to historic subject matter so as to repeat the success of Rienzi, and he was actually at work on material dealing with Manfred, he turned to German legendary past, the Germany of epic and story, the world of the Minnesingers, and Tann- hauser, presented in 1845, was the outcome. As Wagner related the story, Tannhauser, who once loved the chaste Elizabeth, had found his way to the grotto of Venus.

THE MARTA COLLECTION: AN INVESTIGATION OF AN ARCHAEOLOGICAL LEGACY AND CACHE OF HISTORY by LORI C. THOMPSON Under the Direction of Jeffrey B. Glover, PhD ABSTRACT The initial rail lines for the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA), radiate from a center point where the town of Terminus gave rise to Atlanta. This massive public undertaking created an opportunity for Georgia State University (GSU) personnel, under the direction of Dr. Roy Dickens, to implement urban archaeological excavations, which were part of the burgeoning field of Cultural Resource Management (CRM). The material recovered from this project revealed a wealth of information about the people, culture, and growth of Atlanta. Since the conclusion of this project in 1980, little attention has been given to the physical collection. This invaluable resource has succumbed to the effects of decomposition and loss due to inattentiveness over time.

    HISTORY OF FIRST METHODIST CHURCH ... T ATLANTA, GEORGIA by Miss May Allen King Historian First Methodist church is replete with history that reads like romance, which pro~bly accounts for I the. fact many writers have adopted it as a theme for sketches. The record is colorful, unique in some par­ ticulars, and always intriguing. Facts and figures, growth and development, are interwoven in an ongoing story, pulsing with vigorous Yife. The beginning dates back more than a hundred ~ years. As early as 1847, "local preachers were rang­ ing" and Methodists were astir in the little railroad village. Small groups were meeting in private homes and in warehouses on Peachtree street and Auburn Ave­ nue and conducting services. In 1847, Samuel Mitchell, a public spirited citizen, gave a lot of ground to Methodists, hich was the triangular lot surrounded by Peachtree, pryor, ( and Houston streets, north of the Candler Budlding. Here was built a small log house with a chimney at each end, which was used as a school house on week , / days and a meeting place for church people on sunday. I Here a Union Sunday School was organized, June, 1847. James A Collins and Oswald Houston were the first superintendents, and leaders were Edwin Payne, A. H. Luckie, E. H. Johnson, and Robert W. Clark, who was I made secretary and treasurer. Presbyterians, Metho­ dists, and Baptists held preaching services, each de- ) nomination choosing a Sunday of no conflicts. This arrangement was used for some months and was first f aid to each one in getting started in a pioneer com­ munity.

  • God Save the Queen If Diamond Lil Is the Grand Dame of Atlanta Drag, Why Can't She Get a Steady Gig?
    God save the Queen If Diamond Lil is the grand dame of Atlanta drag, why can't she get a steady gig? TRAY BUTLER — OCT. 9, 2003 "Who is she?" my friend asks. We're propped against the rail at the upstairs balcony at Burkhart's, surveying the Sunday night gospel drag show on the foor below. The performers so far have been mostly super-glam Angela Bassett look-alikes praising the Lord with CeCe Winans standards. But this diva is diferent. The buxom redhead in a black mesh body suit forgoes the Jesus songs and belts a twangy country ballad. She doesn't lip synch but actually sings. And she struts through the crowd, Easter basket in hand, dispensing drumsticks of Diamond Lil at a show in the mid-'80s fried chicken to confused onlookers. "That's Diamond Lil," I answer. "Is she famous?" my friend asks, and I have to chuckle. The answer is yes — but the irony of his question sums up the conundrum that is Diamond Lil. She's been doing drag in this town since before either my friend or I were born, and actually headlined Atlanta's frst female impersonation show the cops didn't bust up, back in the pre-Stonewall era. But these days, the celebrity of Diamond Lil has largely faded. Though she was introduced at Burkhart's as a "true Atlanta legend," the blank faces of the crowd show that she's performing for a room full of strangers. Thanks for the chicken, what was your name again? But Diamond isn't about to slip into obscurity without a fght.
