PRINTED AUSTRALIANA

JANUARY 2015

James Cassius Williamson was an American actor who immigrated to Australia in the 1870s. Along with business partners, such as William Musgrove, his theatre company became one of the most dominant in colonial Australia. After his death in 1913 the company, now named J.C. Williamson Ltd. continued under the direction of George Tallis and the Tait brothers (who remained involved in the company until the 1970s). J.C. Williamson continued to be one of the biggest theatre companies in Australia throughout the first three quarters of the 20th century. J.C. Williamson held the license for theatres in , Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide and New Zealand (at times more than one theatre in each city). In 1976 the company closed, but the name was licensed until the mid 1980s. This list includes pantomimes held in J.C. Williamson theatres, as well as those produced by J.C. Williamson and performed in other theatres under venue hire arrangements. The list also includes libretti for overseas pantomime productions collected by J.C. Williamson for their corporate archive.

CONTENT

Printed materials in the PROMPT collection include programs and printed ephemera such as brochures, leaflets, tickets, etc. Theatre programs are taken as the prime documentary evidence of a performance staged by the J.C. Williamson company. In a few cases however, the only evidence of a performance is a piece of printed ephemera. In these cases the type of piece is identified, eg, brochure. The list is based on imperfect holdings and is updated as gaps in the Library’s holdings for these artists are filled. Unless otherwise stated, all entries are based on published programs in the PROMPT collection.

ACCESS

The J.C. Williamson PROMPT files may be accessed through the Library’s Special Collections Reading Room by eCallslip request: http://nla.gov.au/nla.cat-vn3666448.

ARRANGEMENT

This list has two sections:  Pantomimes produced by J.C. Williamson or produced in J.C. Williamson theatres  Libretti for overseas productions of pantomimes collected by J.C. Williamson The primary arrangement of this finding aid is chronological based on the start date of each production. The selection of libretti for overseas pantomimes at the end of the list has been arranged alphabetically according to the title of the production. All dates are based on evidence in the programs or ephemera, or have been confirmed by accessing newspaper articles and advertisements through Trove. Entries for each program in the main section are arranged as follows: Year of production Title of Production / creator if known Date (day and month) Theatre/venue Headline performers Brief description of item holdings, ie “2 copies of program” An index to headline performers (listing performer’s name, year of appearance and venue), venue and production title is also provided at the end of the document.
