  • Ephemera Collection Finding Aid
    EPHEMERA COLLECTION FINDING AID J.C. Williamson theatre programs Performing Arts Programs and Ephemera (PROMPT) Australian Collection Development James Cassius Williamson was an American actor who immigrated to Australia in the 1870s. Along with business partners, such as William Musgrove, his theatre company became one of the most dominant in colonial Australia. After his death in 1913 the company, now named J. C. Williamson Ltd. continued under the direction of George Tallis and the Tait brothers (who remained involved in the company until the 1970s). J. C. Williamson continued to be one of the biggest theatre companies in Australia throughout the first three quarters of the 20th century. J. C. Williamson held the license for theatres in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide and New Zealand (at times more than one theatre in each city). In 1976 the company closed, but the name was licensed until the mid 1980s. This list includes pantomimes held in J. C. Williamson theatres, as well as those produced by J. C. Williamson and performed in other theatres under venue hire arrangements. The list also includes libretti for overseas pantomime productions collected by J. C. Williamson for their corporate archive. Content Printed materials in the PROMPT collection include programs and printed ephemera such as brochures, leaflets, tickets, etc. Theatre programs are taken as the prime documentary evidence of a performance staged by the J.C. Williamson company. In a few cases however, the only evidence of a performance is a piece of printed ephemera. In these cases the type of piece is identified, eg, brochure. Please note that the list also includes programs for some films, as well as programs for overseas productions of plays collected by J.

Mr Howard has dumped his “who do you trust” slogan from the 2004 election, con- ceding that some voters would loathe him no matter what he did. But he said at least voters knew what he stood for and where he planned to take the country. And the 68-year-old, who has promised to step down before the 2010 election if he wins a fifth term, said neither his age nor the length in office of his government were the issue. “I believe very passionately that this coun- try’s best years can lie ahead of us in the years immediately ahead,” Mr Howard told reporters, after announcing a six-week elec- tion campaign. “In order for that to happen this country does not need new leadership, it does not need old leadership, it needs the right leadership.

  • Rockdale Wwi Honour Board
    THE ROCKDALE MUNICIPAL HONOUR ROLL OF VOLUNTEERS WHO SERVED IN THE 1 ST AIF DURING THE GREAT WAR OF 1914-1918 DAVID MARTIN The Great War was an enormously destructive conflict which deeply traumatized the modern world. In Australia, however, it is looked back upon as a time of considerable achievement. A strong consensus exists that Australian nationhood was born as a result of its volunteers fighting in battles of The Great War, ∗∗∗ especially those of the 8-month Gallipoli campaign, commencing with the landing of 25 April 1915. There is a popular conviction that home-grown talents made the Australian ‘digger’ an out- standing soldier; and, without doubt, pride in his performances on the world stage gave a decisive boost to the rise of nationalism. Yet, somewhat perversely, there also exists a belief that the beha- viour of members of the 1 st Australian Imperial Force (AIF) was characterised by a reluctance to take seriously the strict regime which its high command considered a prerequisite for victory. Furthermore, revisionist historical scholarship now suggests that their conduct was not always as benign as Australi- ans are predisposed to believing. ∗∗∗ Amongst other things, this investigation sets out to explore those various propositions, from a local history perspective: through the lives of the residents of Rockdale, a municipality in Sydney’s south, extending 11 kilometres along the western shore of Botany Bay, as they were involved in, and affected by, The Great War between 4 August 1914 and 11 November 1918. The centre-piece of the investiga- tion is the Rockdale Municipal Honour Roll of 1 st AIF volunteers (located in the foyer of Rockdale Town Hall), and this primary source raises questions such as the following.
