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.

  • 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.

When Elwood starts to introduce his friend to guests at a society party, his sister Veta can't take it anymore. In order to save the family's social reputation, Elwood's sister takes him to the local sanatorium. But when the doctor mistakenly commits his anxiety-ridden sister, Elwood and Harvey slip out of the hospital unbothered, setting off a hilarious whirlwind of confusion and chaos as everyone in town tries to catch a man and his invisible rabbit.

  • Film Blog These Are Films That I Saw on TV Or at the Cinema
    Film blog These are films that I saw on TV or at the cinema. ------------------------------------------------------------ Casino Royale the sad anecdote about Casino Royale is that Peter Sellers wasn't feeling well at the time he filmed the scenes at the casino. As you know Orson Welles plays in the film too, and one of his party tricks was to perform magic tricks. If you've seen the movie "Fake" that Orson Welles did, then you'll understand what kind of mind boggling person he is. Basically poor Peter was totally freaked out by Mr Welles and refused to film with him in the scenes at the casino. Nevertheless, both actors are amazing, plus David Niven and Woody Allen. :) I love Casino Royale because it's completely over the top and totally funny. The bit you should look out for is when Peter Sellers' character walks past the aquarium and that classic Dusty Springfield/Burt Bacharach song "The Look of Love". This is what I call very sexy. That scene is pure movie heaven. The script and the direction are a total mess. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: July 02, 2006 12:01AM saw a film called "American Gun" which was James Coburn's last film. Co. star Barbara Bain and Virginia Marsden. Told in flashbacks, this is the story of a man whose daughter has been shot and he wants to pursue the enquiry after police closed the case. He manages to trace back the gun to the owner as he does so he reminisces about his daughter's life, his time as a soldier during the second Word War where he saw many people around him being shot.
