  • Short Report
    1 AUSTRALIAN EPHEMERA COLLECTION FINDING AID J.C. WILLIAMSON THEATRE PROGRAMS PERFORMING ARTS PROGRAMS AND EPHEMERA (PROMPT) PRINTED AUSTRALIANA NOVEMBER 2016 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 Melbourne, 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 theatre productions 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.

  • Entertainment in Brisbane - Recollections
    10 ENTERTAINMENT IN BRISBANE - RECOLLECTIONS By The President NORMAN S. PIXLEY, C.M.G., M.B.E., V.R.D., Kt O.N., F.R. Hist S.Q. Read at the Annual Meeting of the Royal Historical Society of Queensland, 23 September 1976. Brisbane in the early years of this century was rich in enter­ tainment. It could be claimed that in those years the city's character was formed; and the theatre, both professional and amateur, had a big part in that forming. To those of us who lived through those times, when radio and television were something for wild imagining, the memories are wide and many. My family lived at old "Prospect" in Main Street Kangaroo Point and that was most convenient: it was close to the Edward Street ferry, with the steam ferries "Kangaroo" and "Emu" (later replaced by the larger "Ena") which ran from early morning until after theatre closing time at night From then until morning the service was continued with a pulling boat propelled by the sturdy arms of Jack Rowswell, an elderly ex-seaman, which catered for the "night-birds". It was a mile walk along Main Street to the Brisbane Cricket Ground at WooUoongabba where, in addition to some of the cricket "greats" such as Victor Trumper in action, we saw cycle races including "pacing" behind a motor cycle with long handle bars, and Krown the motor cyclist in the saddle with cap back to front and goggles. On one occasion Dahn Rinaldo, advertised as the famous parachutist rose from the Cricket Ground on a tra­ peze beneath a hot air balloon and, after reaching what did not appear to be a great height made his descent using three parachutes consecutively, the first being red, the second white and the third a blue one, with which he landed safely near the East Brisbane State School.

  • Maiden Speech
    Speech By Leanne Donaldson MEMBER FOR BUNDABERG Record of Proceedings, 7 May 2015 MAIDEN SPEECH Ms DONALDSON (Bundaberg—ALP) (5.18 pm): I would like to place on the record my congratulations to the Speaker on his historical appointment as Speaker of the House. I am honoured to have entered this parliament at the time when he has been elected Speaker and I wish him well. I rise in this House today to first and foremost acknowledge the original owners of the land on which I stand today. I am truly honoured to represent the people of Bundaberg and I acknowledge the responsibility they have placed upon me and the faith they have put in me to represent them. I acknowledge that not all those who cast their vote in January put me as their first choice. However, my office is always open to all and I will represent all to the best of my ability. I think that is an important point to dwell on for a moment. One of the reasons I put up my hand to represent the people of Bundaberg was to ensure that everyone—and I mean everyone—had a voice in this place, not just the well off, not just the able, not just the lobby groups, not just those who could articulate their issues, not just those who were seen to be worth it, but all people. Too many times I have seen the disenfranchised left without a voice, and I am here to speak up for them. While it is hard to believe that I have become a member of the 55th Parliament and, as a result, part of an historic turning point for our state—and, I believe, the political landscape of this country—I am up to the task.

  • EARLY HISTORY of MUSIC in QUEENSLAND [By C
    1052 EARLY HISTORY OF MUSIC IN QUEENSLAND [By C. G. AUSTIN.] (Read at a meeting of The Royal Historical Society of Queensland on 23 November 1961.) This paper deals with, in the main, the influence of Queenslanders in the making of music, rather than with the impressions left on Queenslanders after the visits of celebrities from overseas or Southern States, endur­ ing as those impressions may have been. To-night we are in the Ball-room of Newstead House. If it were possible to invent a microphone which could pick up music played 110 years ago, then the air would be filled with sweet and rhythmical sounds, as Captain Wickham entertained his guests at a bah. The Captain was an acknowledged expert in the Mazurka and Quadrille, and as a graceful slow waltzer. Unfortunately, we have no such microphone, and must depend upon the printed and written word. The first recognised Patron of Music in this State was Mr. R. R. Mackenzie (afterwards Sir Robert Mac- SIR ROBERT MacKENZIE 1053 kenzie, first Colonial Treasurer of Queensland). It was through his enterprise and generosity that the first band of professional musicians visited the Moreton Bay Settlement in 1857. Mr. Mackenzie, who had taken up a pastoral hold­ ing in the Brisbane Valley district, paid a visit to Sydney early in 1857 and had attended an orchestral concert which had been organised by Mr. W. H. Paling, a violinist of Dutch nationality, who had come to Aus­ tralia two years earlier. The famous tragedian, G. V. Brooke, induced musicians from England to accompany him on his first visit to Austraha in 1855, one of these being Mr.

  • THIS IS the LIFE: [Burlesque] Txt. Paul Stanhope; Mus. [N/E]
    1915 Harry Clay staged his revusicals in 1915 as a first part entertainment - essentially replacing the minstrel portion of his previous shows. The second part of the program offered vaudeville artists - some of which were staged by specialty artists and some by members of the revusical troupe. Most of the other theatre operations presenting revusicals at this time presented these productions as a second part entertainment - with the vaudeville bill opening proceedings. Edward Warwick's Burlesquers toured Australia during the year, presenting vaudeville and burlesque-style musical comedy productions. The troupe included performers such as Maud Fane, George Tichener and Armitage and Hine. The origins of their music theatre works are unclear. __________ THIS IS THE LIFE: [burlesque] Txt. Paul Stanhope; Mus. [n/e] Described as a musical burlesque with seven part characters and a chorus of twelve who sing, dance and/or perform specialty acts. Possibly written by Stanhope with contributions from other Les Bates and other members of the company, the action appears to have unfolded within various parts of a hotel, including a restaurant. Reference is made to the war in a section played out by Arthur Renshaw and a chorus of girls "personifying the Allies" (X-Ray, 35). Stanhope's Spike Murphy character was reportedly a piano mover in this production. Other characters include Charlie Wise (landlord), Google-Eyed Hogan (Spike's friend), Adolf (a waiter), Lord No Coin (up against it), Jannette Dupree (a jolly widow), and Dolly Dollars (her friend). Songs included in the 1915 production included the opening chorus (The Grafters), "I'll Get You," Here Comes the Whip, Poor Will (coon quartet), "Sail On, Silvery Moon," and "It's a Long Way to Tickle Mary." 1915: Bijou Theatre, Melbourne; 2-8 Jan.

  • Tony Sheldon's Emotional Training in Australian Theatre
    humanities Article Learning to Act: Tony Sheldon’s Emotional Training in Australian Theatre Anne Pender School of Arts, University of New England (UNE), Armidale, NSW 2351, Australia; [email protected]; Tel.: +61-2-6773-3248 Academic Editor: Peta Tait Received: 19 May 2016; Accepted: 19 August 2016; Published: 26 August 2016 Abstract: This case study of Tony Sheldon considers how an actor develops versatility in emotional delivery and the capacity to work in all theatre genres. Sheldon is one of Australia’s best known and most successful stage actors. He has appeared in Shakespearean drama, cabaret, musical theatre and contemporary plays written by Australian, British and American playwrights. He is one of a sizeable group of Australian actors of his generation to have learned to act ‘on the job’ with directors and other actors rather than undertaking formal qualifications in an institution or studio. This article examines Sheldon’s experience of learning to act, drawing on a life interview with the actor. It considers the opportunities and the difficulties Sheldon experienced in his early career in relation to boundary blurring and self-belief, trauma, directorial rehearsal styles, typecasting, comic acting in partnership and managing one’s character in long seasons. The article explores some of the problems that the actor has overcome, the importance of specific directors in his development, and the dynamics of informal training in the context of an overall ecology of theatre over half a century. Keywords: actors; Australia; actor training; Tony Sheldon; genre and emotion; career in theatre; theatre directors 1. Introduction Actors have often gained recognition for the ways in which they excel at either tragic or comic roles.
