Kitty Doner is sweet, petite and pretty. She is a bit of radium, pulsating, throbbing, effervescing, constantly moving mass of energy, vitality, animation and attractiveness. She is the typical Ameri- can dancer and comes from a (lancing family, her father and mother and grandparents being noted dancers. Sis- ter Rose and Brother Ted are following the path stepped by Kitty and the dancing of this remarkable trio has given vaudeville one of its most attractive features. `cl%ili ericasemostGiar 4 ;2 RTISTS appearing at the B.

The last act on our bill is always interesting and often is one of the features of our show, and in justice to this act, the audience is requested to remain seated until it is finished. It is very discon- certing to have part of the audience leave while the artists are doing their best to please those remaining seated who are discommoded by having their attention distracted from the stage by people leaving.

His range of accómplishments is exceedingly broad and besides he is a master of travesty. These qualities enable him with delightful humor to present in brief a whole váriety bill from the opening feature to the exit march. He is a trapeze artist, -and the word artist is used with particular significance, -a magician, a song and dance turn, in fact, Cook gives tabloids of every act usual to a vaudeville program and does every thing as well as most artists do a single thing. Cook is well and popularly known to patrons of B. F. Keith's Theatre and his coming here the week of October 2 is sure to be warmly welcomed. 10 TABLE D'HOTE DINNERS SPRING CHICKEN SERVED DAILY SIRLOIN STEAK 5 to 8 P.M.

  • Grumpy Old Humorist Tells All: Three Short Essays on Writing, Plus Random Thoughts on Same by Ed Mcclanahan
    224 Ed McClanahan Grumpy Old Humorist Tells All: Three Short Essays On Writing, Plus Random Thoughts on Same by Ed McClanahan —“I can read readin’, but I can’t read writin’. The reason I can’t read writin’ is, it’s wrote too close to the paper.” —Clem Kadiddlehpopper When book reviewers deign to notice that I exist at all, they tend to refer to me as (among other lower life forms) a “humorist.” I’m always flattered, of course, to be nominated for the post, but I’m afraid I must politely decline to run, on the grounds that it would entail too much responsibility, trying to be funny all the time. The fact is, at my age, being funny ain’t really all that easy—or, to put it another way, being my age ain’t really all that funny . or, for that matter, all that easy either. We’ve all heard it said—usually of some poor, befuddled old bird like me—that “he’s taken leave of his senses.” What actually happens, though, is that our senses often pre- empt us to the punch, and take their own leave almost before we suspect they’re even contemplating a separation, much less a divorce. Corrective measures may, of course, sometimes be taken; cataract surgery is a wonder and a marvel, and I suppose there’s probably one of those “almost invisible” hearing aids circling my head at this very mo- ment, looking for an ear to build its unsightly nest in. My sense of smell has long since abandoned me (an impairment which, having its own occasional compensations, doesn’t even qualify me for disability assistance); and when it left, it took with it a disheartening measure of my sense of taste—so that, at dinnertime, I sit there grieving silently while everyone else is saying grace.

Note this excerpt, seldom surpassed in beauty of thought and diction, from his address to Governor Stevens: Why should I mourn at the untimely fate of my people? Tribe follows tribe, and nation follows nation, like the waves of the sea. It is the order of nature and regret is useless. Your time of decay may be distant — but it will surely come, for even the White Man whose God walked and talked with him as friend with friend cannot be exempt from the common destiny. We may be brothers after all. Let the White Man be just and deal kindly with my people, for the dead are not powerless. Dead — I say? There is no death. Only a change of worlds.

  • Comic Vision and Comic Elements of the 18 Century Novel Moll Flanders by Daniel Defoe
    Pamukkale Üniversitesi Sosyal Bilimler Enstitüsü Dergisi Sayı 25/1,2016, Sayfa 230-238 COMIC VISION AND COMIC ELEMENTS OF THE 18TH CENTURY NOVEL MOLL FLANDERS BY DANIEL DEFOE Gülten SİLİNDİR∗ Abstract “It is hard to think about the art of fiction without thinking about the art of comedy, for the two have always gone together, hand in hand” says Malcolm Bradbury, because the comedy is the mode one cannot avoid in a novel. Bradbury asserts “the birth of the long prose tale was, then the birth of new vision of the human comedy and from that time it seems prose stories and comedy have never been far apart” (Bradbury, 1995: 2). The time when the novel prospers is the time of the development of the comic vision. The comic novelist Iris Murdoch in an interview in 1964 states that “in a play it is possible to limit one’s scope to pure tragedy or pure comedy, but the novel is almost inevitably an inclusive genre and breaks out of such limitations. Can one think of any great novel which is without comedy? I can’t.” According to Murdoch, the novel is the most ideal genre to adapt itself to tragicomedy. Moll Flanders is not a pure tragedy or pure comedy. On the one hand, it conveys a tragic and realistic view of life; on the other hand, tragic situations are recounted in a satirical way. Moll’s struggles to live, her subsequent marriages, her crimes for money are all expressed through parody. The aim of this study is to analyze 18th century social life, the comic scenes and especially the satire in the novel by describing the novel’s techniques of humor.

  • Donoso the Humorist: a Study of Entropy
    DONOSO THE HUMORIST: A STUDY OF ENTROPY _____________________________________________________ A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board _____________________________________________________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY _____________________________________________________ by John A. Cunicelli August 2017 Examining Committee Members: Hortensia Morell, Advisory Chair, Department of Spanish and Portuguese Hiram Aldarondo, Department of Spanish and Portuguese Sergio Ramírez-Franco, Department of Spanish and Portuguese Michael Colvin, External Reader, Marymount Manhattan College ii © Copyright 2017 by John A. Cunicelli All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Donoso the Humorist: A Study of Entropy John A. Cunicelli Doctor of Philosophy Temple University, 2017 Doctoral Advisory Committee Chair: Hortensia Morell For over two millennia, humor has been the topic of philosophical discussion since it appears to be a nearly universal element of human experience and offers different perspectives on that experience. Humor delves deep into the cultural norms governing religion, family, sex, society, and other aspects of day to day life in order to investigate the absurdities therein. Viewing such reified aspects of life in a new, humorous light is one of the principal characteristics of the Chilean author José Donoso’s novels. Oftentimes irreverent and scathing, Donoso’s dark humor reaches entropic proportions since it accentuates (and at times even seems to celebrate) the human condition’s descent into chaos. Given this downward trajectory, a selection of the Chilean author’s novels will be analyzed under the entropic humor theory originated by literary theorist Patrick O’Neill. The notion of entropy contains the very idea of a breakdown of order that tends toward chaos, so this special brand of humor is a unique fit for a study of Donoso.
