Two successful showmen join forces to help out their old army commander. Along the way they find, lose, and find romance, have plenty of laughs, and demonstrate what it means to be loyal. The score is filled with favorites—"Happy Holiday," "Sisters," "Blue Skies," "I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm,"—and the choreography calls for plenty of tap.

With 175 costumes, 900 costume pieces and 125 shoes outfitting a cast of 30, White Christmas is one of the largest and most visually spectacular productions to date at Syracuse 1 Stage. As with all Syracuse Stage productions, everything appearing on stage has been created by resident, local artists in the scene shop, costume shop and props shop, and in the areas of lighting and sound. Featured in the cast of White Christmas are eight professional actors with significant Broadway and regional theatre credits: Zakiya Young as Betty Haynes (Broadway: Stick Fly, The Little Mermaid; Regional: Aida at the Kauffman Center in Mo.), Denis Lambert as Bob Wallace (National Tour: Phil Davis in White Christmas; Elvis Presley in Picasso at the Lapin Agile at Syracuse Stage), Craig Waletzko as Phil Davis (Broadway and National Tours: Guys and Dolls, Young Frankenstein, Spamalot, Steel Pier and Gypsy), Mary Michael Patterson as Judy Haynes (Broadway: Hope Harcourt in Anything Goes), Mary Jo Mecca as Martha Watson (Regional: Superior Donuts at Geva Theatre Center, Little House on the Prairie at the Guthrie Theatre), John Shuman as Ezekiel Foster/Snoring Man (Broadway: La Cage Aux Folles and 13 Rue de L’Amour), James Van Treuren (Broadway: The Scarlet Pimpernel; Caroline, or Change at Syracuse Stage) and Duke Lafoon as Ralph Sheldrake (It’s A Wonderful Life at Westchester Broadway Theatre, Monica the Musical at Manhattan Theatre Club). A 20-member ensemble, comprised of students from Syracuse University’s Department of Drama, portrays additional characters and is featured in several large-scale dance and choral numbers. Completing the cast is local, 13-year-old actress Jacqueline Baum as Susan (last seen at Syracuse Stage as Helen Keller in the 2011 production of The Miracle Worker). Directing White Christmas is Paul Barnes, who also returns to Syracuse Stage after working previously on The Miracle Worker. According to Barnes, White Christmas offers much for audiences to love. “White Christmas—the song, the movie, the stage play—reaches an audience in many, many ways. It’s a beautiful story. I’m particularly drawn to it under what I think of as the two large umbrellas that encompass White Christmas. One has to do with what happened in WWII: a general who was heroic in the extreme, and now has fallen on hard times. So much of the story is about getting the men to come to his aid, which they do,” said Barnes. “Then the other chief story is about show business. Show business is so much a part of American life and the American ethos. This play, this musical, is a real love letter to show business. Within that there are lots of love stories between people, people finding their way to each other through song and dance. In that respect, there are so many heartwarming and uplifting elements of the story that brighten our spirits and lighten our lives.” At the heart of White Christmas is the title song. “White Christmas” was first sung by Bing Crosby for the 1942 film Holiday Inn. Irving Berlin expected another song from the film to be the breakout hit. However, when Armed Forces Radio included “White Christmas” to its rotation, the song struck a chord with GI’s spending their Christmas overseas. “White Christmas” won the 1942 Academy Award for Best Song of the Year and is the most recorded Christmas song of all time with over 500 different cover versions by varied artists such as Kenny Rogers, Babyface, Gloria Estefan, Michael Bolton, Willy Nelson, Garth Brooks, Hanson, Mandy Patinkin, Destiny’s Child, Brooks & Dunn, Barbara Cook, Bette Midler, The Vienna Boys Choir and The Flaming Lips. Bing Crosby’s version is considered the standard, having sold over 100 million copies worldwide. 2 In his 101 years, Irving Berlin wrote over 1,000 songs. Berlin’s complete scores for stage include The Cocoanuts, As Thousands Cheer, Louisiana Purchase, Miss Liberty, Mr. President, Call Me Madam and Annie Get Your Gun. Hollywood movie musical scores by Berlin include Top Hat, Follow the Fleet, On the Avenue, Alexander’s Ragtime Band, Holiday Inn, This is the Army, Blue Skies, Easter Parade, White Christmas and There’s No Business Like Show Business. A private in WWI, Berlin penned “God Bless America” and donated millions in royalties to Army Emergency Relief among other organizations. His patriotism was recognized by President Truman (1945 Army’s Medal of Merit), President Eisenhower (1955 Congressional Gold Medal) and President Ford (1977 Freedom Medal).

  • Hollywood Musicals
    i HOLLYWOOD MUSICALS Hollywood Musicals offers an insightful account of a genre that was once a main- stay of twentieth- century fi lm production and continues to draw audiences today. What is a fi lm musical? How do musicals work, formally and culturally? Why have they endured since the introduction of sound in the late 1920s? What makes them more than glittery surfaces or escapist fare? In answering such questions, this guidebook by Steven Cohan takes new and familiar viewers on a tour of Hollywood musicals. Chapters discuss defi nitions of the genre, its long history, different modes of analyzing it, the great stars of the classic era, and auteur directors. Highlights include extended discussions of such celebrated musicals from the studio era as The Love Parade, Top Hat , Holiday Inn , Stormy Weather, The Gang’s All Here, Meet Me in St. Louis, Cover Girl, Mother Wore Tights, Singin’ in the Rain , Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, The Band Wagon , Seven Brides for Seven Brothers , and Jailhouse Rock as well as later fi lms, such a s Cabaret , All that Jazz, Beauty and the Beast, and La La Land. Cohan brings in numerous other examples that amplify and extend to the present day his claims about the musical, its generic coherence and fl exibility, its long and distinguished history, its special appeal, and its cultural signifi cance. Clear and accessible, this guide provides students of fi lm and culture with a succinct but substantial overview that provides both analysis and intersectional context to one of Hollywood’s most beloved genres. Steven Cohan’s books include Masked Men: Masculinity and the Movies in the Fifties, Incongruous Entertainment: Camp, Cultural Value, and the MGM Musical , and Hollywood by Hollywood: The Backstudio Picture and the Mystique of Making Movies.

Perle Mesta was the first United States Ambassador to MADAM Luxembourg. The original “hostess with the mostest,” Mes- ta was known for hosting lavish parties in Washington D.C for almost 30 years. Born in Oklahoma, her family came into wealth when her father became involved in the oil and real-estate industries. In 1917 she married George Mesta, owner of Mesta Machinery. Mrs. Mesta became interested in politics when her husband introduced her to several high-ranking officials, including President Calvin Coolidge. Following her husband’s death, she became heavily involved in the quest for women’s rights and joined the National Women’s Party as its Congressional chairman and Public Relations specialist. While lobbying for the Equal Rights Amendment, she made a multitude of con- nections with politicians who would later attend her famous social gatherings. A Republican for most of her life, Mesta realigned herself with the Democratic party, opting to give financial support to then Senator Harry Truman.

Honks, Whistles, and Harp: The Transnational Sound of Harpo Marx 1 Honks, Whistles, and Harp: The Transnational Sound of Harpo Marx Marie Ventura Introduction: a Transnational Trickster 1 In early autumn, 1933, New York critic Alexander Woollcott telephoned his friend Harpo Marx with a singular proposal. Having just learned that President Franklin Roosevelt was about to carry out his campaign promise to have the United States recognize the Soviet Union, Woollcott—a great friend and supporter of the Roosevelts, and Eleanor Roosevelt in particular—had decided “that Harpo Marx should be the first American artist to perform in Moscow after the US and the USSR become friendly nations” (Marx and Barber 297). “They’ll adore you,” Woollcott told him. “With a name like yours, how can you miss? Can’t you see the three-sheets? ‘Presenting Marx—In person’!” (Marx and Barber 297) 2 Harpo’s response, quite naturally, was a rather vehement: you’re crazy! The forty-four- year-old performer had no intention of going to Russia.1 In 1933, he was working in Hollywood as one of a family comedy team of four Marx Brothers: Chico, Harpo, Groucho, and Zeppo.

  • “To Be an American”: How Irving Berlin Assimilated Jewishness and Blackness in His Early Songs
    “To Be an American”: How Irving Berlin Assimilated Jewishness and Blackness in his Early Songs A document submitted to The Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS in the Performance Studies Division of the College-Conservatory of Music 2011 by Kimberly Gelbwasser B.M., Northwestern University, 2004 M.M., University of Cincinnati, 2006 Committee Chair: Steven Cahn, Ph.D. Abstract During the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, millions of immigrants from Central and Eastern Europe as well as the Mediterranean countries arrived in the United States. New York City, in particular, became a hub where various nationalities coexisted and intermingled. Adding to the immigrant population were massive waves of former slaves migrating from the South. In this radically multicultural environment, Irving Berlin, a Jewish- Russian immigrant, became a songwriter. The cultural interaction that had the most profound effect upon Berlin’s early songwriting from 1907 to 1914 was that between his own Jewish population and the African-American population in New York City. In his early songs, Berlin highlights both Jewish and African- American stereotypical identities. Examining stereotypical ethnic markers in Berlin’s early songs reveals how he first revised and then traded his old Jewish identity for a new American identity as the “King of Ragtime.” This document presents two case studies that explore how Berlin not only incorporated stereotypical musical and textual markers of “blackness” within two of his individual Jewish novelty songs, but also converted them later to genres termed “coon” and “ragtime,” which were associated with African Americans.

    Irving Berlin “This Is the Life!” The Breakthrough Years: 1909–1921 by Rick Benjamin “Irving Berlin remains, I think, America’s Schubert.” —George Gershwin It was a perfect late summer evening in 2015. A crowd had gathered in the park of a small Pennsylvania town to hear the high-school band. I was there to support my trombonist son and his friends. The others were also mostly parents and relatives of “band kids,” with a sprinkling of senior citizens and dog walkers. As the band launched its “covers” of current pop hits toward the treetops, some in the crowd were only half-listening; their digital devices were more absorbing. But then it happened: The band swung into a new tune, and the mood changed. Unconsciously people seemed to sit up a bit straighter. There was a smattering of applause. Hands and feet started to move in time with the beat. The seniors started to sing. One of those rare “public moments” was actually happening. Then I realized what the band was playing—“God Bless America.” Finally, here was something solid—something that resonated, even with these teenaged performers.
