  • The First Critical Assessments of a Streetcar Named Desire: the Streetcar Tryouts and the Reviewers
    FALL 1991 45 The First Critical Assessments of A Streetcar Named Desire: The Streetcar Tryouts and the Reviewers Philip C. Kolin The first review of A Streetcar Named Desire in a New York City paper was not of the Broadway premiere of Williams's play on December 3, 1947, but of the world premiere in New Haven on October 30, 1947. Writing in Variety for November 5, 1947, Bone found Streetcar "a mixture of seduction, sordid revelations and incidental perversion which will be revolting to certain playgoers but devoured with avidity by others. Latter category will predomin­ ate." Continuing his predictions, he asserted that Streetcar was "important theatre" and that it would be one "trolley that should ring up plenty of fares on Broadway" ("Plays Out of Town"). Like Bone, almost everyone else interested in the history of Streetcar has looked forward to the play's reception on Broadway. Yet one of the most important chapters in Streetcar's stage history has been neglected, that is, the play's tryouts before that momentous Broadway debut. Oddly enough, bibliographies of Williams fail to include many of the Streetcar tryout reviews and surveys of the critical reception of the play commence with the pronouncements found in the New York Theatre Critics' Reviews for the week of December 3, 1947. Such neglect is unfortunate. Streetcar was performed more than a full month and in three different cities before it ever arrived on Broadway. Not only was the play new, so was its producer. Making her debut as a producer with Streetcar, Irene Selznick was one of the powerhouses behind the play.

  • Madame Butterfly Source Material
    MADAMA BUTTERFLY SOURCE MATERIAL THE EVOLUTION OF MADAME BUTTERFLY The story of Madama Butterfly, Pucciniʼs beloved opera of the young Japanese geisha doomed to an unhappy end, still fascinates the public today. However, much like the life cycle of the butterfly, the story of Madama Butterfly underwent considerable transformation over time before the opera emerging in its present form. The beginnings of the opera can be traced back to a tabloid-like story of a young woman with a broken heart in Japan. At the turn of the 19th century, with the opening of Japan in 1894 by Commodore Matthew Perry, the publicʼs fascination with all things Japanese – japonisme - was evident in popular culture. American writer John Luther Longʼs short story, Madame Butterfly, was first published in the January 1898 issue of Century Illustrated Monthly Magazine. The author was purported inspired by a true story relayed to him by his sister, the wife of a missionary living in Nagasaki. However, French author Pierre Loti's popular semi- autobiographical novel, Madame Chrysanthème, first published in1887, also has a very similar storyline of a Japanese geisha who marries a naval officer named Pierre. Lotiʼs novel even inspired an 1893 opera version by Charles Messager. Longʼs later version of the story has the notable addition of the suicide attempt by Cho- Cho-San after her abandonment by the selfish Lieutenant Benjamin Franklin Pinkerton. At the climax of Longʼs 18-page version, Suzuki thwarts the heroineʼs suicide attempt. At the key moment, Suzuki makes Trouble, the child of Butterfly and Pinkerton cry, and Cho-Cho-San realizes that she must care for her child.

As such, they catered for a section of society that was generally ignored in the entertainment industry. Many of these machines were also capable of being used as ordinary slide lanterns for projecting urgent news items over the running feature. A point worth noting is that the statue of Hibernia which filled the niche over the doorway of the Theatre Royal in is to-day placed over the entrance to the General Enclosure in the present showyard at Balisbridge.
