The time-frame has been selected for two reasons: (1) actresses active after 1870 have been the subject of several dissertations and scholarly studies, while relatively little research has been completed on women active on the American stage prior to 1870, and (2) prior to 1850 there was limited theatre activity in this country and very few professional actresses. A general description of mid-nineteenth-century theatre and its social context is provided, including a summary of major developments in theatre in New York and other cities from 1850 to 1870, discussions of the star system, the combination company, and the mid-century audience.

Average: 3 (2 votes) Daly, John Augustin by Sue Fields Ross, 1986 20 July 1838–7 June 1899 1 John Augustin Daly. Image courtesy of the NC Office of Archives & History. [2]John Augustin Daly, playwright and for three decades one of America's foremost theatrical producers and managers, was born in Plymouth, N.C. His father, Captain Denis Daly, in the shipping and lumber business, was born in Ireland and later sought his fortune trading along the American coast and in the West Indies. It was there he met Elizabeth Duffey, daughter of Englishman Lieutenant John Duffey. After a voyage north, they were married in New York in 1834 and eventually came to North Carolina from Norfolk, Va., in 1838. Their oldest child, Catherine, died young. After the captain died in 1841 in Ocracoke from a fever contracted at sea, the widow moved with sons Augustin and Joseph Francis (1840– 1916) to Norfolk and then in 1849 to New York. There, with little formal education, Joseph rose from office boy to managing clerk and to successor in an outstanding law firm, served as justice on various benches, including the New York Supreme Court [3], then returned to law and literature as his brother's very active collaborator and biographer. Augustin, too, had brief formal schooling; he entered the mercantile business as a clerk, went to night school, and chased the star glimpsed early when as a child he went to the Avon Theater and produced plays in a wood house in Norfolk.

  • NEWSBOY CABINETS Written by Mike Reeve Karto “At” Lineone “Dot” Net
    NEWSBOY CABINETS Written by Mike Reeve karto “at” lineone “dot” net Now before the uninitiated have visions of their paperboys hoarding away Chippendale or Sheraton sideboards, we are, in fact, talking about photographs. To be precise photographs mounted on stiff board usually 6" x 4" and known as ‘cabinets’ supposedly because they were often displayed in cabinets. Newsboy cabinets were given away as ‘premiums’, by tobacconists or drug stores, when making a purchase of plug tobacco produced by the National Tobacco Works of New York. This firm was later acquired by the American Tobacco Company. Although precise dates of issue are not known, it is likely they were produced and issued throughout the early 1890’s Perhaps because of their size and method of distribution, they do not appear to be widely found or collected within the UK. Details of this issue, is of course, to be found in the World Tobacco Issues Index, though, as this article will show, the information is somewhat limited. Although the World Tobacco Issues Index (WTII) does give a broad indication of the various groupings, there is no checklist of subjects. This is not surprising as although the majority of cards are numbered, there is both a duplication of numbers and subject varieties, making it very complex for the new collector or casual observer. For the record Part 11 of the World Tobacco Issues Index reads as follows:- NATIONAL TOBACCO WORKS, Broadway, New York, USA. N238-200 Became branch of American Tobacco Co about 1892. Cards issued about 1890. Premium issues, exchanged for tags or coupons.

  • University Microfilms
    INFORMATION TO USERS This dissertation was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

She was well-received last evening, there being much applause given her, etc. The Mobile Register, Dec. 26, 1903 Miss Harned appeared on the Mobile stage January 31, 1897, in her first engagement as a star, although she had made her debut ten years previous on the stage in 1887 with George Clark in the “Corsican Brothers,” “False Shame,” etc. At a later date she became leading lady of E.H. Southern, taking the place of Miss Kimball in “The Enemy of The King,” Miss Kimball having become suddenly stricken. Miss Harned also took the feminine leading roles in other plays with E.H. Southern. It was in the play “Trilby,” however, in which Miss Harned created the title role, that she first won [illegible] success. Lyric Theater, Nov. 22, 1926 Walt Whiteside will be a visitor to this city tomorrow night when he will appear at the Lyric Theater in his new and amazing success, “The Arabian.” Local theater goers readily will recall Mr. Whiteside’s masterful delineations of such stellar characters as Prince Tamar in “The Hindu,” Wu-Li Chang in “Mr. Wu,” Tokeramo the Japanese diplomat in “The Typhoon,” the Prince Hagen in the poetic drama of Nippon, “Sakura.” Mr. Whiteside made his first appearance in Mobile in 1890. The Mobile Register Nov. 23 states: “Mr. Walter Whiteside makes deep impression in ‘The Arabian.’ Few plays create as deep and lasting an impression as did Gordon Kean’s ‘The Arabian,’ in which Walter Whiteside starred last night at the Lyric Theater.

  • Ada Rehan by Kevin Hannan
    da Rehan, perhaps the greatest and most famous actress and stage personal- ity ever to come out of this country, was born at No. 1, Shan- non Street, Limerick, on April 22nd. 1860. Her father was Thomas Crehan, one of the hundreds who worked in and around the harbour. As a skilled ship- wright, he might be regarded as by Kevin Hannan belonging to the middle class, espe- cially since he is sometimes described as a 'ship-owner', though the same badge of respectability might be pin- ned on every "badoir" that broughtturf from L2basheeda to Arthur's Quay. His address, however, was some distance from the working class districts at the time, and gives some authenticity to the claims of his social standing. In those days, the harbour was a busy place, and it was not uncommon to see a forest of masts along the river between the dock gate and the Custom House. New vessels, usually schoon- ers, yawls and such smaller craft, were built at the Lansdowne Yard (still to be seen, in dereliction, near St. Michael's Boat Club), and at the Long Dock (near the Co. Courthouse); which was known, around the turn of the century, as Farrell's Yard. No doubt, Tom Cre- han had a hand in the building of some of the finevessels that leftthese stocks. With the transition from sail to steam, work i~ the Limerick yards began to decline and the skills of the shipwright were becoming less and less in demand. Evidently this change, how- ever gradual, was beginning to be felt by the mid-1860s, for we find Tom Cre- han packing up and emigrating to the United States with his wife and family -two boys and three girls.
