    SOCIAL DISCOURSE IN THE SAVOY THEATRE’S PRODUCTIONS OF THE NAUTCH GIRL (1891) AND UTOPIA LIMITED (1893): EXOTICISM AND VICTORIAN SELF-REFLECTION William L. Hicks, B.M. Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF MUSIC UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 2003 APPROVED: John Michael Cooper, Major Professor Margaret Notley, Committee Member Mark McKnight, Committee Member James C. Scott, Dean of the College of Music C. Neal Tate, Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Hicks, William L, Social Discourse in the Savoy Theatre’s Productions of The Nautch Girl (1891) and Utopia Limited (1893): Exoticism and Victorian Self-Reflection. Master of Music (Musicology), August 2003, 107 pp., 4 illustrations, 12 musical examples, references, 91 titles. As a consequence to Gilbert and Sullivan’s famed Carpet Quarrel, two operettas with decidedly “exotic” themes, The Nautch Girl; or, The Rajah of Chutneypore, and Utopia Limited; or, The Flowers of Progress were presented to London audiences. Neither has been accepted as part of the larger Savoy canon. This thesis considers the conspicuous business atmosphere of their originally performed contexts to understand why this situation arose. Critical social theory makes it possible to read the two documents as overt reflections on British imperialism. Examined more closely, however, the operettas reveal a great deal more about the highly introverted nature of exotic representation and the ambiguous dialogue between race and class hierarchies in late nineteenth-century British society. Copyright, 2003 by William L. Hicks ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Because of the obscurity of The Nautch Girl and Utopia Limited, I am greatly indebted to the booksellers Christopher Browne and Wilfred M.

    1920 1 MEDORAH London run: Alhambra, January 22 nd – March 13 th (60 performances) Music: Vada Ennem Book & Lyrics Denn Spranklin English adaptation: Rupert Hazell English lyrics : Adrian Ross Additional numbers : John Ansell Director: E. Dagnell Choreographer: Will Bishop Musical Director : John Anstell Cast: Leo Stormont ( Sultan), Ada Reeve (Medorah), W.S. Percy ( Dadoolah), Jamieson Dodds (Vernon Grant ), Leslie Stiles ( Ambassador Manston), Margaret Campbell ( Mrs Manston) Songs: Tomorrow’s Another Day, There’s Always a Drawback, Like a Dream. Wonderful Joy, Hope Again, Love and My Soul Alone Story: In Caravanistan beauty is measured in physical bulk, the heavier the better. The Sultan’s eldest daughter, Medorah, is thin, too thin to be an eligible bride. Chancellor Dadoolah suggests she is sent to America for the purposes of putting on weight – a suggestion that delights her because she has fallen in love with Vernon Grant, the man who accompanied the American ambassador and his wife to a reception in the Sultan’s palace. They meet again in Washington, and when she is summoned back to Caravanistan , Vernon secretly follows. Meantime, after various adventures, Vernon is captured and forced to work as a slave in the Sultan’s household. With no hope of marrying his underweight daughter to a prince, the Sultan condemns her to marry his new slave – and thus Medorah and Vernon are happily united. Notes: The original publicity declared that “Medorah” was jointly produced by Mr. Bernard J. Hishin and Sir Oswald Stoll, but within a week of opening, the show was subject to a legal dispute in the Court of Chancery, with Violet Melnotte claiming (and winning) half-ownership in the copyright of the English version of this Dutch original.

  • Martyn Hagan & Lucy Fraser
    MARTYN HAGAN & LUCY FRASER (also incl. Vic Hagan, Jack Hagan and Will Hagan) Comic, singer, dancer, interlocutor, pantomime dame, sketch artist, stage manager, manager, entrepreneur, writer. Martyn Hagan's early career saw him associated with such troupes and managers as Hiscocks Federal Minstrels, John F. Sheridan, Rose Clifford's Bohemian Musical Comedy Co, the Faust Family and Frank Smith. In the late 1880s he co-founded the XLCR Minstrel and Burlesque Company with Charlie Fanning (1888) and Hagan, Buckley and Leston's Minstrels (1889). During the early 1890s he was associated with Dan Tracey, George Rignold, George Coppin, Harry Barrington and Williamson and Musgrove among others. From 1895 he and his wife Lucy Fraser toured a society sketch act with various organisations including the McLean/Hagan Gaiety Company, Harry Rickards and the Martyn Hagan Musical Comedy Co (1901). They were later engaged by Percy Dix (1903-04), Frank M. Clark (ca.1905) and the People’s Concerts in Melbourne (ca.1910-11). Hagan and Fraser left Australia in 1912, spending the next 18 years working on variety circuits around the world, including the UK, USA and Asia. Three sons, Vic, Will and Jack also established long careers in the entertainment industry (both in Australia and overseas). Hagan and Fraser returned to Australia in 1929 still as variety performers. They are believed to have retired from full time engagements sometime during the early 1930s. The Brisbane Courier writes of Martyn Hagan's 1895 appearance as one of the ugly sisters in the J. C. Williamson pantomime, Cinderella: "Mr Hagan is an old friend, and as such, as well as for his ability, he was warmly received.

While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality o f the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or “ target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “ Missing Pagc(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing pagc(s) or section, they arc spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication o f either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image o f the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part o f the material being photographed, a definite method o f “ sectioning" the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer o f a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps.

  • Spanish Music and Its Representations in London (1878-1930): from the Exotic to the Modern
    Spanish Music and its Representations in London (1878-1930): From the Exotic to the Modern. Kenneth James Murray Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy July 2013 Melbourne Conservatorium of Music University of Melbourne Produced on archival quality paper ABSTRACT This thesis argues that the landscape of Spanish music in London evolved between 1878 and 1930 from Romantic exotic constructions to a recognition and appreciation of Spanish musical nationalism, which reflected some of the concerns of post-war musical modernism in a newly cosmopolitan context. This transformation will be traced through the study of specific protagonists and events that contributed to the English reception of Spanish music during this period. While the development of Spanish nationalist music and its important intersections with French music have been studied in numerous texts, little has been written on the English engagement with Spanish music. A key event in defining musical and theatrical Spain in the latter part of the nineteenth century came from France in the guise of George Bizet's Carmen (1875, London 1878). The opera, and its many parodies and theatrical re-workings in London, provides a foundation for discussions of Spanishness in late nineteenth-century England, and influenced the reception of Pablo Sarasate and Isaac Albéniz. In the Edwardian era, closer ties between England and Spain, increased travel possibilities and specialist writers rekindled enthusiasm for Spanish music. The anti- German currents of the pre-war years and the influence of French writers and musicians set the scene for the further English appreciation of Spanish music in the aftermath of the death of Enrique Granados in 1916.
