    THE THEATRICAL HISTORY OF WICHITA, KANSAS ' I 1872 - 1920 by Patricia Ann Mather A.B., University __of Wichita, 1945 Submitted to the Department of Speech and Drama and the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. Redacted Signature Instructor in charf;& Redacted Signature Sept ember, 19 50 'For tne department PREFACE In the following thesis the author has attempted to give a general,. and when deemed.essential, a specific picture of the theatre in early day Wichita. By "theatre" is meant a.11 that passed for stage entertainment in the halls and shm1 houses in the city• s infancy, principally during the 70' s and 80 1 s when the city was still very young,: up to the hey-day of the legitimate theatre which reached. its peak in the 90' s and the first ~ decade of the new century. The author has not only tried to give an over- all picture of the theatre in early day Wichita, but has attempted to show that the plays presented in the theatres of Wichita were representative of the plays and stage performances throughout the country. The years included in the research were from 1872 to 1920. There were several factors which governed the choice of these dates. First, in 1872 the city was incorporated, and in that year the first edition of the Wichita Eagle was printed. Second, after 1920 a great change began taking place in the-theatre. There were various reasons for this change.

  • Dramatic Mirror, November 7, 1891, P. 8. 2. Helen Ten Broeck, “Rida Young—Dramatist and Garden Expert,” Theatre (April 1917): 202
    NOTES INTRODUCTION 1. Ali Baba, “Mirror Interview: XXI—Martha Morton,” Dramatic Mirror, November 7, 1891, p. 8. 2. Helen Ten Broeck, “Rida Young—Dramatist and Garden Expert,” Theatre (April 1917): 202. 3. See Progressive Era at http://www.wikipedia.com. 4. Rachel Crothers (1878–1958), considered America’s first modern feminist playwright for her social comedies and woman-centered themes, is the only woman usually included within the “canon” of playwrights during the Progressive Era. Her production in 1906 of The Three of Us marked the beginning of a thirty-year career as a professional playwright and director in American theater. Her plays were well-constructed and dealt with pertinent issues of the time, such as the unfairness of the double standard and women’s conflicts between career and motherhood; her plays are still revived today. Unlike the other women in this study who are essentially “unknown,” Crothers has been extensively written about in dissertations and journals and, therefore, is not included in this study. For a recent arti- cle on Crothers, see Brenda Murphy, “Feminism and the Marketplace: The Career of Rachel Crothers,” in The Cambridge Companion to American Women Playwrights, ed. Brenda Murphy (New York: Cambridge University Press, 1999), 82–97. 5. About fifty-one women dramatists achieved two or more productions in New York between 1890 and 1920. Portions of this chapter are from Sherry Engle, “An ‘Irruption of Women Dramatists’: The Rise of America’s Woman Playwright, 1890–1920,” New England Theatre Journal 12 (2001): 27–50. 6. A prime example is Morton’s The Movers (1907), which despite being a box office failure, was defended by several prominent critics.

    STEELE MACKAYE: INVENTOR-INNOVATOR APPROVED: Major Professor <D Minor Professor Cfiairmajucu the Departm^si^ of Speech and Drama Dean of the Graduate School ('&/{/ / z/f ty s / Mangrum, Richard A., Steele MacKaye; Invent or-Innovat or, Master of Science (Speech-Drama), December, 1970, 124 pp., 26 illustrations, bibliography, 23 titles. The problem of this thesis is to discover the extent to vhich Steele MacKaye has contributed to modern American theatre through his inventions and technical innovations. Sources include theatre histories, periodical articles, theses, and Percy MacKaye*s biography of his father. Data concerning specific inventions are taken from patent specifications from the U. S. Patent Office. The first chapter presents a general overview of the physical environment of nineteenth century American theatre. Chapter Two summarizes MacKaye*s contributions in three general areas of theatre—MacKaye, the teacher, the actor-playwright, and the director-manager. Enumeration and description of MacKaye*s innovations and patent devices are provided in Chapter Three. The fourth chapter illustrates how MacKaye made use of his inventions and innovations in the Madison Square Theatre, the Lyceum Theatre, and the Spectatorium and Scenitorium. Chapter Five considers the implications of MacKaye*s work in terms of the development of modern American theatre. Steele MacKaye is remembered today for the introduction of the Delsarte system to America and sometimes for the double stage he installed in the Madison Square Theatre, but too few people today realize the significance of his later inventions, innovations, and concepts of theatrical production. As a director, MacKaye firmly established on the American stage the function of the director-regisseur as later advocated by Craig and Reinhardt.
