Redacted Signature Instructor in charf;& Redacted Signature Sept ember, 19 50 'For tne department PREFACE In the following thesis the author has attempted to give a general,. and when deemed.essential, a specific picture of the theatre in early day Wichita. By "theatre" is meant a.11 that passed for stage entertainment in the halls and shm1 houses in the city• s infancy, principally during the 70' s and 80 1 s when the city was still very young,: up to the hey-day of the legitimate theatre which reached. its peak in the 90' s and the first ~ decade of the new century. The author has not only tried to give an over- all picture of the theatre in early day Wichita, but has attempted to show that the plays presented in the theatres of Wichita were representative of the plays and stage performances throughout the country. The years included in the research were from 1872 to 1920. There were several factors which governed the choice of these dates. First, in 1872 the city was incorporated, and in that year the first edition of the Wichita Eagle was printed. Second, after 1920 a great change began taking place in the-theatre. There were various reasons for this change.

A Word of Introduction I have had this book published to the memory of my father, Roswell Parish, who compiled the material over a period of more than 50 years. He retired at 70, lived to be 92 years old, and the last 20 years of his life were spent almost entirely in gathering together this genea­ logy of the descendants of John Parish, also a much larger one of the descendants of Richard (Bull) Smith of Smithtown, L. I., forebears on his mother's side. The beginnings of this material came from family records and as dates and new names were added from various publications and as discrepancies and occasional errors appeared, the gathering and arranging of what seemed reliable material, especially of dates, became an interest­ ing avocation with a view to a more correct and compre­ hensive record of John's descendants. For purpose of cross reference and indexing, but with no suspicion then of its peculiar advantages, the following was very early adopted as a convenient :r-rUMBER SYSTEM. The children of every family were numbered from 1 up as listed, but in cases of more than nine children "a" was used for 10, "b" for 11, etc.

Separated as the Fingers, United as the Hand: Education and Segregation 69 Conclusion 88 Bibliography 92 Abbreviations 95 2 Preface When I was first acquainted with Langston Hughes, what struck me as his most prominent feature was the stamina of his will to revive and preserve the dignity of his race. He never seemed to have chosen the easy way out of any situation, or to allow himself to be abstracted from his task. He refused to imitate the life style of white people, although his complexion was light enough to allow him to pass for a Mexican or a Latino. In his effort to identify with the blacks he regarded himself as all black, and used all his talents and his energy to better the situation for African Americans. In this thesis I have examined to some extent the reasons for this attitude, and given a few examples of how he went about to achieve his aim. His production is so huge that it was necessary to concentrate on a small section of it. I have chosen a selection of articles from his column in the Chicago Defender, a few of his poems, and the history book Black Magic.

    American Heritage Center

    UNIVERSITY OF WYOMING AMERICAN HERITAGE CENTER GUIDE TO ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY RESOURCES Child actress Mary Jane Irving with Bessie Barriscale and Ben Alexander in the 1918 silent film Heart of Rachel. Mary Jane Irving papers, American Heritage Center. Compiled by D. Claudia Thompson and Shaun A. Hayes 2009 PREFACE When the University of Wyoming began collecting the papers of national entertainment figures in the 1970s, it was one of only a handful of repositories actively engaged in the field. Business and industry, science, family history, even print literature were all recognized as legitimate fields of study while prejudice remained against mere entertainment as a source of scholarship. There are two arguments to be made against this narrow vision. In the first place, entertainment is very much an industry. It employs thousands. It requires vast capital expenditure, and it lives or dies on profit. In the second place, popular culture is more universal than any other field. Each individual’s experience is unique, but one common thread running throughout humanity is the desire to be taken out of ourselves, to share with our neighbors some story of humor or adventure. This is the basis for entertainment. The Entertainment Industry collections at the American Heritage Center focus on the twentieth century. During the twentieth century, entertainment in the United States changed radically due to advances in communications technology. The development of radio made it possible for the first time for people on both coasts to listen to a performance simultaneously. The delivery of entertainment thus became immensely cheaper and, at the same time, the fame of individual performers grew.
