David Fisher recounts its history In 1900 R Ellis and Humphrey Bramall had to find a new use for the large building they owned in Middle Street, Brighton. The Real Ice Skating Rink, that architect Lewis Karslake had designed for them in 1897, had closed in March. The reality was that indoor ice skating no longer appealed. Ellis and Bramall thought a 98ft (30 m) diameter circular arena would make a good indoor circus, so they commissioned another architect, Frank Matcham, to reconfigure the building. Frank Matcham (1854-1920) was already far and away the leading theatre architect of his era. He had already built two theatres in Brighton: the Alhambra Opera House and Music Hall on King?s Road (1888), which later became the Palladium Cinema, and the Grand Theatre in North Road (1894). He also designed circuses, the first being Hengler?s Grand Cirque in Glasgow (1885) and at the time of Bramall?s commission his London Hippodrome was newly built. Matcham retained the tent-like structure of the auditorium: a segmented dome supported on 16 pillars, beneath which two tiers of seats formed a horseshoe shape around a 42ft (13m) diameter performance ring opposite the foyer, with a stage framed by a proscenium on the side. On either side of the proscenium were curtained animal entrances. An name HIPPODROME in large relief letters between the equestrian ramp (still there) led in from the stables to the two towers. north of the site. Kerslake?s façade remained largely unaltered? Matcham?s principal interest was in creating The Brighton Hippodrome Theatre and Circus opened on 28 August 1901. However, the circus business survived for only one week short of a year and the mortgagees foreclosed. ?One of the most handsome places of amusement? was offered at auction on 7 October 1902. The lot also included a ?commodious double-fronted residence ' at no.52 Middle Street and a small cottage at no 50. The buyer was Thomas Barrasford, a Jarrow man who had built up a chain of music halls in the north of England, pioneering twice-nightly variety.

Evangelicals manipulated justifiable public concerns about alcohol abuse to conflate popular entertainment with social erosion. The complex legislation surrounding places of entertainment began in the 1830s with concerns about limelight and sawdust, but by the 1880s it was firmly focused on morality (Victorian Music Halls 63) The music hall wars were an alarming threat for the predominantly Jewish artists and hall managers barely one generation beyond refugee poverty. It was unwise for them to oppose anything rooted in the national religious hegemonies, and they could not find a moral high ground to protect their livelihood. In this context, the fin de siècle Jewish theatrical agent, Dick Warner, began to use networks of men’s clubs and newspaper publicity to redefine the industry. The peaceful assimilation of Jews with its concomitant benefits for the pursuit of profit (Jews of Britain 77-79) was not a cynical ambition. Warner subscribed to the Victorian Anglo-Jewish world view of judicious assimilation and restrained observance, and he embraced it as the way forward for theatrical entrepreneurs who were losing ground to what Kift refers to as the “sour-faced, austere and ascetic” social reformers (157). The themes of Warner’s publicity campaign are recognisable today.

    eastsussex.gov.uk East Sussex Record Office Report of the County Archivist April 2012 to March 2014 2014/15: 458 Introduction The period covered by this annual report – the financial years 2012-2014 – has probably been the most momentous in ESRO’s history as it saw the completion of the project to build and open The Keep. It marked the culmination of seven years’ work by the project partners, East Sussex County Council, Brighton & Hove City Council and The University of Sussex to re-house their archives and other historical resources in a state-of-the-art building, both to ensure their permanent preservation and to increase and broaden access to this unique and irreplaceable material. Practical completion was achieved on 17 June 2013 when the building was handed over by the contractors, Kier. We immediately began to move ESRO material into The Keep, which was not as easy as it sounds – the work required to prepare the archives for transfer and then to move them is described elsewhere in this report. Staff worked long, hard hours preparing and supervising the ESRO removals. It was a remarkable feat and as a result all ESRO’s archives have been listed to at least collection level, packaged and shelved appropriately in a single building and can be tracked around it via the inventory management (barcoding) system. The service we now offer is not merely ESRO in a new building, but has been transformed into a fully integrated partnership, working not just to better but rather transcend what we previously provided. Behind the scenes each partner continues to maintain their individual collections in their separate databases but from the user’s point of view the service is seamless: the online catalogue and ordering system combine information from the three databases and presents them as a single resource on The Keep’s new website, www.thekeep.

AUTHOR: Kirsten Feldner, B.A. (McMaster University) SUPERVISOR: Doctor Catherine Annette Grisé NUMBER OF PAGES: ix, 107. ii Lay Abstract This thesis pairs an analysis of meeting minutes, newspaper articles, song-sheets, and theatrical programmes from London’s Victorian music halls with contemporary music hall scholarship and studies of censorship to add to the discussion of the genre’s “end” or “death.” Using the work of Judith Butler, this thesis is divided into a study of how censorship transformed the music hall’s landscape, content, and culminating performance from its onset. As a result, this thesis argues that the controlling factors which shaped the genre led to what other music hall scholars have considered its end. By identifying the styles and modes of censorship used in the evolution of the English music hall genre, and in in-period methods of resistance to social control, this project suggests the radical potential of the music hall form as a contemporary style of theatre.
