  • ANTA Theater and the Proposed Designation of the Related Landmark Site (Item No
    Landmarks Preservation Commission August 6, 1985; Designation List 182 l.P-1309 ANTA THFATER (originally Guild Theater, noN Virginia Theater), 243-259 West 52nd Street, Manhattan. Built 1924-25; architects, Crane & Franzheim. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 1024, Lot 7. On June 14 and 15, 1982, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the ANTA Theater and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 5). The hearing was continued to October 19, 1982. Both hearings had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Eighty-three witnesses spoke in favor of designation. Two witnesses spoke in opposition to designation. The owner, with his representatives, appeared at the hearing, and indicated that he had not formulated an opinion regarding designation. The Commission has received many letters and other expressions of support in favor of this designation. DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS The ANTA Theater survives today as one of the historic theaters that symbolize American theater for both New York and the nation. Built in the 1924-25, the ANTA was constructed for the Theater Guild as a subscription playhouse, named the Guild Theater. The fourrling Guild members, including actors, playwrights, designers, attorneys and bankers, formed the Theater Guild to present high quality plays which they believed would be artistically superior to the current offerings of the commercial Broadway houses. More than just an auditorium, however, the Guild Theater was designed to be a theater resource center, with classrooms, studios, and a library. The theater also included the rrost up-to-date staging technology.

  • Maugham Creates a Portrait
    Comes a Week of Torment By Jay Carmody. There foas bad blood and many an acrimonious word when the New York Critics’ Circle held its equivalent of Town Meeting to select a prize play last spring. Ballot after ballot was cast without at least result, without the desired result of selecting a drama worthy of the critics’ award. The voters grew restive, petulant, and eventually personal. Finally, however, the tardy, reluctant and compromise conclusion was reached that “The Patriots,” by Sid- ney Kingsley, deserved the accolade, or plaque, which the critics confer annually. The meeting was over then, but its effects were not. With a fine contempt for the unwritten law that critics shall not be held accountable for their individual or collective action, perfect strangers began to pummel them mercilessly. Their best friends joined in and eventually the riotous spirit so infected the victims that they began to pummel each other. When emotional stability was reasonably restored—it is never perfectly achieved among professional theatergoers of any class— the circle was a mere segment of its former self. Resignation fol- lowed resignation, each accompanied by the bitter implication that the organization had been reduced to an absurdity by the attitude and conduct of such and such a so-and-so. Among those who had things to say were George Jean Nathan, Woolcott Gibbs and Burton Rascoe. Mr. Rascoe, a quantitative critic, had more things to say than any one else but the others were more pointed. Mr. Gibbs Gave Bright Fillip Iq Brushing Feud Aside. In its loose way, the whole thing added up to one of the sea- son’s better comedies, the high light of which was Mr.

Basic to any valid definition is the concept of persuasion. The descrip­ tion of persuasive techniques and evaluation of their effectiveness is the province of rhetorical criticism. Drama is, in part at least, a rhe­ torical enterprise. Chapter I of this study establishes a theoretical basis for the rhetorical analysis of drama. The central chapters con­ sider Eugene O'Neill's Strange Interlude in light of the rhetorical im­ plications of intent, content, and form. Chapter II deals principally with O'Neill's status as a rhetor. It asks, what are the evidences of a rhetorical purpose in his life and plays? Why is Strange Interlude an especially significant example of O'Neill's rhetoric? The intellectual content of Strange Interlude is the matter of Chapter III. What ideas does the play contain? To what extent is the play a transcript of con­ temporary thought? Could it have potentially influenced the times? Chapter IV is concerned with the specific manner in which Strange Interlude was used as a vehicle for the ideas.

It assesses the impact of Russian technological Modernism, especially Constructivism, in the United States, chiefly in New York where it was disseminated, mimicked, and redefined. It is based on the paradox that Americans travelling to Europe and Russia on cultural pilgrimages to escape America were greeted with ‘Amerikanismus’ and ‘Amerikanizm’, where America represented the vanguard of technological modernity.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material 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 it 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 asd to continue photoing from !$ft 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.

  • Twentieth Century American Drama
    International Journal of Advanced Research and Development ISSN: 2455-4030, Impact Factor: (RJIF 5.24) www.newresearchjournal.com/advanced Volume 1; Issue 3; March 2016; Page No. 86-90 The She-Tragedies of Marsha Norman: Twentieth Century American Drama Harshita Dwivedi Research Scholar, Deptt. Of English, A.P.S. University, Rewa (M.P.), India. Abstract Before the 1960s and 1970s period of the American Feminist movement, women had no separate identity from that of their husbands, deprived as they were of any legal or political rights. In the American capitalist, patriarchal system of the early twentieth century, marriage was the only way for women to secure financial stability for the future. The infant American drame was born amid the din and howl of a revolution, a birth unnoticed by the press of events at the time, but nonetheless significant. After the battle or Independence was won, America was too busy proving itself a nation to nourish drame. To curry favor with European nations, translation, adaptations of the works of accomplished foreign playwrights were permitted and even encouraged in the United States. All this time the translators were busy keeping abreast of the dramas containing the latest trends of thought from Europe. The plays of Henrik Ibsen, Anton Chekhov and August Strindberg came as a startling revelation to American playwright. Particularly the young hopefuls longing for greater substance in the offering of the American theater, it served as a stimulus and challenge to fledging dramatists eager to try their wings. The theatre has always been bound strictly by the entry, the dramatist as its has always been the least independent of artists, because he employs so many distinct elements, all of which must be properly united in his work.
