HE people of the United States have a way of their own of recogmz.mg merit, of approving honest service, of appreciating the generosity of others and of rewarding good work well done. The recent celebration of National Vaudeville Artists Week with its splendid outpourings of attendance, its universal observance in over 300 cities and towns and the generous contri- butions which poured into the Sick and Benefit Fund of the N. V. A. constitute the compre- hensive and sympathetic attitude of people of all classes towards vaudeville and its people. 1 am a vaudevillian, I was a vaudevillian, [ will always be a vaudevillian and forever proud of it. Tonight's four monster benefit entertainments in the four largest and most famous theatres of the world is the splendid culmination of the eight years of activity and high endeavor which have marked the history of the National Vaudeville Artists. The peace and good-will which prevail in our branch of the profession; the unfailing loyalty and consideration of the Vaudeville Managers Protective Association;' the solicitude of ]VIr. E. F.

  • The History of the Hartman Theatre, 1938-1963
    This dissertation has been microfilmed exactly as received 69-11,698 RODGERS, Charles Andrew, 1932- THE HISTORY OF THE HARTMAN THEATRE, 1938-1963. The Ohio State University, Ph.D., 1968 Speech-Theater University Microfilms, Inc., Ann Arbor, Michigan THE HISTORY OF THE HARTMAN THEATRE 1938 - 1963 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Charles Andrew Rodgers, B„Sc0, M.A„ ****** The Ohio State University 1968 Approved by p/ p s Adviser PREFACE The popular, even the scholarly, concept of the American theatre has tended to center about theatrical ac­ tivities in New York City0 Only recently, with increasing emphasis placed upon educational, community, and summer theatre, has there arisen increasing recognition of the theatrical world outside New York. And though the ex­ istence of the road has long been acknowledged, a substan­ tial part of that theatre history--made when the theatre’s most important personalities in their original roles were criss-crossing America--still remains to be written. In the professional theatre of the nineteen sixties the road is confined to a relatively small group of larger cities privileged to view Broadway successes and mediocrities Columbus, Ohio is one of these cities.
