The Man Who Came to Dinner Comedy Classic in the Fielding Nextstage Media Contact: Dawn Kellogg Communications Manager (585) 232-1366 ext. 3059 [email protected] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Screen Plays – Hollywood’s Golden Age on Stage presents The Man Who Came to Dinner Comedy classic in the Fielding Nextstage December 1, 2014, Rochester, N.Y. Geva Theatre Center is delighted to host Screen Plays – Hollywood’s Golden Age on Stage, and their production of The Man Who Came to Dinner, directed by Jean Gordon Ryon, from December 18 – 27 in the Fielding Nextstage at Geva Theatre Center. The Man Who Came to Dinner tells the tale of a world-famous celebrity critic and writer, the irascible Sheridan Whiteside, who slips on ice on the steps of a Midwestern home and turns the household upside down during his lengthy recuperation. Hollywood stars come and go; mysterious gifts are delivered; and highly questionable guests show up for lunch. Whiteside has everything his own way until his faithful secretary announces she has fallen in love with one of the locals, and Whiteside must come up with a scheme to keep her from quitting. Will he succeed, or will he be foiled by his own plan? George Kaufman and Moss Hart wrote The Man Who Came to Dinner as a vehicle for their friend Alexander Wollcott, the inspiration behind the character of Sheridan Whiteside. Wollcott was a theatre critic and the man who helped launch the Marx Brothers. Wollcott was delighted with the play, but declined when asked to play the role of Whiteside, due to his very busy schedule. Monty Woolley played the part in the Broadway production, although Wollcott did do a turn for the West Coast premiere. Three other characters in the play are based on real-life personages of the 1930s: Lorraine Sheldon is based on Gertude Lawrence, Beverly Carlton on Noel Coward and Banjo on Harpo Marx. The Man Who Came to Dinner premiered at Broadway’s Music Box Theatre in October 1939 where it ran until 1941. The London production was staged soon after with Robert Morley in the role of Whiteside. In 1942, the play was adapted for the silver screen with Monty Woolley reprising his role, and a cast comprised of Bette Davis, Ann Sheridan, Billie Burke, Jimmy Durante, Mary Wickes and Richard Travis. The play has been revived on numerous occasions. Screen Plays’ cast includes Patrick Best as Richard Stanley, Mark Block as Banjo, Charles Cooper as the Expressman and Radio Technician, Kathy Dauer as Harriet Stanley, Ken Dauer as Bert Jefferson, Morey Fazzi as Mr. Stanley, Stacy Homola as June Stanley, Jim Howe as Sandy and Radio Technician, Kate Lacy-Stokoe as Mrs. Ernest W. Stanley, Susan Milner as Maggie Cutler, Richard Mancini as Professor Metz, Phil Ortolani as Beverly Carlton, Ray Salah as Sheridan Whiteside, Michelle Mary Schaefer as Sarah, Carol Shea as Mrs. McCutcheon, Timothy Shea as Dr. Bradley, Craig Simmons as Mr. Baker and Westcott, Roger Sutphen as John, Shawnda Urie as Miss Preen, Wendy Webster as Mrs. Dexter and Gretchen Woodward as Lorraine Sheldon.

  • Cole Porter: the Social Significance of Selected Love Lyrics of the 1930S
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Unisa Institutional Repository Cole Porter: the social significance of selected love lyrics of the 1930s by MARILYN JUNE HOLLOWAY submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS in the subject of ENGLISH at the UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH AFRICA SUPERVISOR: PROFESSOR IA RABINOWITZ November 2010 DECLARATION i SUMMARY This dissertation examines selected love lyrics composed during the 1930s by Cole Porter, whose witty and urbane music epitomized the Golden era of American light music. These lyrics present an interesting paradox – a man who longed for his music to be accepted by the American public, yet remained indifferent to the social mores of the time. Porter offered trenchant social commentary aimed at a society restricted by social taboos and cultural conventions. The argument develops systematically through a chronological and contextual study of the influences of people and events on a man and his music. The prosodic intonation and imagistic texture of the lyrics demonstrate an intimate correlation between personality and composition which, in turn, is supported by the biographical content. KEY WORDS: Broadway, Cole Porter, early Hollywood musicals, gays and musicals, innuendo, musical comedy, social taboos, song lyrics, Tin Pan Alley, 1930 film censorship ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I should like to thank Professor Ivan Rabinowitz, my supervisor, who has been both my mentor and an unfailing source of encouragement; Dawie Malan who was so patient in sourcing material from libraries around the world with remarkable fortitude and good humour; Dr Robin Lee who suggested the title of my dissertation; Dr Elspa Hovgaard who provided academic and helpful comment; my husband, Henry Holloway, a musicologist of world renown, who had to share me with another man for three years; and the man himself, Cole Porter, whose lyrics have thrilled, and will continue to thrill, music lovers with their sophistication and wit.

  • Father Riggs of Yale by Stephen Schmalhofer
    Dispatch March 24, 2021 05:11 pm Father Riggs of Yale by Stephen Schmalhofer We open in Venice. On an Italian holiday in 1926, early on in his Broadway career, Richard Rodgers bumped into Noël Coward. Together they strolled the Lido before ducking into a friend’s beach cabana, where Coward introduced Rodgers for the first time to “a slight, delicate-featured man with soft saucer eyes.” Cole Porter grinned up at the visitors and insisted that both men join him for dinner that evening at a little place he was renting. Porter sent one of his gondoliers to pick up Rodgers. At his destination, liveried footmen helped him out of the boat. He gazed in wonder up the grand staircase of Porter’s “little place,” the three-story Ca’ Rezzonico, where Robert Browning died and John Singer Sargent once kept a studio. This was not the only dramatic understatement from Porter that day. In the music room after dinner, their host urged Rodgers and Coward to play some of their songs. Afterwards Porter took his turn. “As soon as he touched the keyboard to play ‘a few of my little things,’ I became aware that here was not merely a talented dilettante, but a genuinely gifted theatre composer and lyricist,” recalled Rodgers in his autobiography, Musical Stages. “Songs like ‘Let’s Do It,’ ‘Let’s Misbehave,’ and ‘Two Babes in the Wood,’ which I heard that night for the first time, fairly cried out to be heard from the stage.” Rodgers wondered aloud what Porter was doing wasting his talent and time in a life of Venetian indolence.

When did the rascals of “The Front Page” turn into the scoundrels of “Absence of Malice”? Why did reporters stop being heroes played by Clark Gable, Bette Davis and Cary Grant and become bit actors playing rogues dogging at the heels of Bruce Willis and Goldie Hawn? It all happened in the dark as people watched movies and sat at home listening to radio and watching television. “The Image of the Journalist in Popular Culture” explores the continuing, evolving relationship between the American people and their media. It investigates the conflicting images of reporters in movies and television and demonstrates, decade by decade, their impact on the American public’s perception of newsgatherers in the 20th century. The class shows how it happened first on the big screen, then on the small screens in homes across the country. The class investigates the image of the cinematic newsgatherer from silent films to the 1990s, from Hildy Johnson of “The Front Page” and Charles Foster Kane of “Citizen Kane” to Jane Craig in “Broadcast News.” The reporter as the perfect movie hero.
