    Student Matinee Series Maurice Hines is Tappin’ Thru Life Study Guide Created by Miller Grove High School Drama Class of Joyce Scott As part of the Alliance Theatre Institute for Educators and Teaching Artists’ Dramaturgy by Students Under the guidance of Teaching Artist Barry Stewart Mann Maurice Hines is Tappin’ Thru Life was produced at the Arena Theatre in Washington, DC, from Nov. 15 to Dec. 29, 2013 The Alliance Theatre Production runs from April 2 to May 4, 2014 The production will travel to Beverly Hills, California from May 9-24, 2014, and to the Cleveland Playhouse from May 30 to June 29, 2014. Reviews Keith Loria, on theatermania.com, called the show “a tender glimpse into the Hineses’ rise to fame and a touching tribute to a brother.” Benjamin Tomchik wrote in Broadway World, that the show “seems determined not only to love the audience, but to entertain them, and it succeeds at doing just that! While Tappin' Thru Life does have some flaws, it's hard to find anyone who isn't won over by Hines showmanship, humor, timing and above all else, talent.” In The Washington Post, Nelson Pressley wrote, “’Tappin’ is basically a breezy, personable concert. The show doesn’t flinch from hard-core nostalgia; the heart-on-his-sleeve Hines is too sentimental for that. It’s frankly schmaltzy, and it’s barely written — it zips through selected moments of Hines’s life, creating a mood more than telling a story. it’s a pleasure to be in the company of a shameless, ebullient vaudeville heart.” Maurice Hines Is .

  • An Analysis of Hegemonic Social Structures in "Friends"
    "I'LL BE THERE FOR YOU" IF YOU ARE JUST LIKE ME: AN ANALYSIS OF HEGEMONIC SOCIAL STRUCTURES IN "FRIENDS" Lisa Marie Marshall A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2007 Committee: Katherine A. Bradshaw, Advisor Audrey E. Ellenwood Graduate Faculty Representative James C. Foust Lynda Dee Dixon © 2007 Lisa Marshall All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Katherine A. Bradshaw, Advisor The purpose of this dissertation is to analyze the dominant ideologies and hegemonic social constructs the television series Friends communicates in regard to friendship practices, gender roles, racial representations, and social class in order to suggest relationships between the series and social patterns in the broader culture. This dissertation describes the importance of studying television content and its relationship to media culture and social influence. The analysis included a quantitative content analysis of friendship maintenance, and a qualitative textual analysis of alternative families, gender, race, and class representations. The analysis found the characters displayed actions of selectivity, only accepting a small group of friends in their social circle based on friendship, gender, race, and social class distinctions as the six characters formed a culture that no one else was allowed to enter. iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This project stems from countless years of watching and appreciating television. When I was in college, a good friend told me about a series that featured six young people who discussed their lives over countless cups of coffee. Even though the series was in its seventh year at the time, I did not start to watch the show until that season.

  • The Vaudeville Years – 1911 to 1932
    Revision Date: May 17, 2020 Garth Johnson Jack Benny Day By Day: The Quick Reference Calendar Volume One: The Vaudeville Years – 1911 to 1932 Salisbury and Benny From Grand Opera To Ragtime Season One (1911) In this section I try to answer some of the “origin story” questions, but unfortunately the answers remain a mystery including - Leaving Waukegan - First Show - The Kublik Conflict Salisbury and Benny From Grand Opera to Ragtime Cora Folsom Salisbury and Benny Kubelsky were working in the orchestra pit of the Barrison Theater, in Waukegan, Illinois when it was sold and closed in 1911. Barrison Theater and Carnegie Library, Waukegan Illinois [“Waukegan” (Arcadia Publishing 2000 ISBN 9780738508368) Waukegan Historical Society] The Marx Brothers had just played the town with their act “Fun In Hi-Skool” in July and their mother/manager Mini had suggested Benny go on the road with them, but his parents said he could not. At seventeen, he was too young and impressionable for the travelling lifestyle. Cora, needing work to take care of her ailing mother, and seeing the potential in the young violinist, managed to persuade Benny’s parents a few weeks later that she would look out for him, and being the same age as the Kubelsky’s they relented. So it was with tears, reservations and anticipation about the future that seventeen year old Benny Kubelsky left Waukegan and began his career in show business. The acts first stop, according to Benny, was Gary Indiana and he relates the story of leaving Waukegan for that first time in Irving Fein’s book, “Jack Benny an Intimate Biography.” That may be what Benny recalls as the first show away from home, but a bill and notice for August 19, 1911 in the Racine Daily Journal, Racine Wisconsin, advertising “Salisbury and Kribelsky” appearing at the Racine Theater is currently the earliest documented appearance of the act.

Broadcast Radio before 1HHytgbZF Television.By F.HoffmanI have been watching reruns of the TV show "Whats My RwP7RI7hU Line", in which Fred Allen was a panelist for a number of years. I had mixed 6rOHnY0Oi feelings about how he acted during the show and found myself wondering who Wt2GcZKQG this man was. This book was inexpensive, so I bought it. He writes about the m0WySWPmi medium of broadcast radio before the advent of television. I not only gained a mioYZBG5z better understanding of why Fred Allen was highly thought of in the entertainment Vv3MCKJ0p world, but how TV changed Radio, just as the Internet is changing TV. Much of it wypBwOmAm is quite humorous, and it is very much worth a read.7 of 7 people found the 24cwU3SRB following review helpful. Great First-Hand Account of the Golden Days of 53mCKriIh RadioBy Pen NameFred Allen was a great wit during the Golden Days of Radio. His program, along with The Jack Benny Show and The Phil Harris and Alice Faye Show are just a few of the old programs that have aged well. Most if the other comedy shows if this era seem quaint, naive and even tedious.Fred Allen's influence was evident in the 1970s with the advent of Johnny Carson's "Mighty Carson Art Players" and Garrison Keillor's "News from Lake Wobegon." Both Carson and Keillor creations were direct ancestors of Allen's Alley, a weekly feature of Allen's show.

  • Lambchops by Ron Hutchinson
    Lambchops By Ron Hutchinson “Who the hell wants to hear actors talk?” --- Harry Warner, 1927 In 1925, when the brothers Warner decided to part- ner with Bell Laboratories to use the Vitaphone disk system to present movies with synchronized sound, talking wasn’t part of the plan. The brothers envi- sioned marketing their features with full orchestral scores and limited sound effects. Actors that talked from the screen were an afterthought. But a quick one. When they premiered “Don Juan” in 1926, it boasted a synchronized symphonic score with sound effects that enhanced the John Barrymore swashbuckler. There was no dialog in this otherwise silent film. The sound was on 16-inch shellac disks, turning at 33 1/3 rpm and synched to the picture. As long as the film didn’t break or the needle didn’t skip, everything matched. Audiences applauded, but were more impressed with the short subjects which preceded the feature. These WERE talking pictures, with opera stars, a ukulele player and Will Hays of the Motion Picture Producers Association actually speaking and singing in perfect synchronicity. The audience’s reaction to the shorts was not lost on the Warner Brothers.
