The Ohio River Valley Series, conceived and published by the University Press of Kentucky, extends the work of the Always a Riv­ er project through the publication of an ongoing series of books that examine and illuminate the waterwa}j the land in its watershed, and the waves of people who made this fertile and desirable area their place of residence, of refuge, of commerce and industr}j of cul­ tural development and, ultimately, of engagement with American democracy. The goal of the Always a River project has been to aid our un­ derstanding of the implications of change caused through natural and human interrelationships with the Ohio River. The unifying theme for the Ohio River Valley series carries forward this initial goal as each author contributes to a wider understanding of Ohio River Valley history and folklife. Each title's story is told through people interacting within their particular place and time. Each re- x SERIES FOREWORD veals why records, papers, and oral stories preserved by families and institutions offer rich resources for the history of the Ohio River and of the nation. Each traces the impact the river and its tribu­ taries has had on individuals and cultures, and conversely how these individuals and cultures have made an impact on the valley as we know it. The components of the Always a River project included: •A floating exhibition on a specially fabricated barge that stopped at 21 sites along the Ohio River from May 22 to September 8, 1991. •A book of seven essays and an introductory historical overview, Al­ ways a River: The Ohio River and the American Experience (Indiana Uni­ versity Press, 1991). •A river-wide newspaper supplement containing seven articles that addressed current issues surrounding life and commerce along the Ohio. •A Watercolors of the Ohio exhibition and catalog of juried paintings by artists associated with watercolor societies in the states along the Ohio. •A valley-wide library reading/discussion program covering three themes: "Exploration, Encounters, and Change: The Ohio River and the Nation," "Heroes and Heroines of the Ohio River Valley," and "Landings: New Perspectives on Local History in the Ohio River Region." •A valley-wide conference bringing together scholars and experts to examine the history and folklife of the Ohio River Valley. •A series of locally developed educational initiatives. Follow-up activities in addition to this Ohio River Valley se­ ries include plans for an Ohio River Heritage Corridor, continuation of library reading/discussion programs, biennial conferences on spe­ cific themes relevant to the Ohio River Valley, and a major new Falls of the Ohio Interpretive Center at Clarksville, Indiana. In the process of being a river, the Ohio (and its tributaries) has touched us individually and collectively. This series celebrates the story of a valley through multiple voices and visions. Kenneth L. Gladish President and Executive Director Indiana Humanities Council PREfACE The Ohio River Valley has a rich story to tell, in and of itself as a fascinating geologic, geographic entity and through diverse waves of inhabitants whose known residency spans from the withdrawal of the last great glaciers some 15,000 years ago up to the present. Each volume in the Ohio River Valley series illuminates an aspect of life along the Ohio, which stretches 981 miles from the confluence of the Allegheny and Monongahela (at Pittsburgh) to the confluence with the Mississippi (at Cairo) and along the multiple tributaries that together provide an inland waterway system connecting nearly one-third of the current mainland USA. Written by scholars and ex­ perts in various disciplines, these books engage readers in a dis­ course about the heritage and the future of the Ohio River Valley as it relates to the nation as a whole. Here Comes the Showboat!, the second in the Ohio River Val­ ley series, chronicles three generations of the Bryant family as they plied the Ohio and its tributaries from the turn of the century to World War II, tying up at landings in cities, towns, and settlements, to bring a uniquely American theatre to eager and loyal audiences. The Bryant's Showboat grew out of a history of entertainment on the Ohio. In 1790, Fort Pitt had the first recorded theatrical per­ formances along the Ohio River. The mess hall of the barracks was rearranged with tables serving as the stage and benches as seating. xii PREFACE Military men and their wives were the performers. Cincinnati, in 1801, is believed to have had the first theatre built or remodeled for putting on plays. Noah Ludlow is credited with opening the first "professional" Ohio River theatre season in a rented hall in Pitts­ burgh in 1815 and also the first theatre season in Louisville in 1816. Itinerant acting companies put on performances in rented spaces, bringing elaborate sets and costumes downriver as they traveled from landing to landing. The first showboat-a flatboat one h~ndred feet long by six­ teen feet wide-was built in Pittsburgh for the enterprising acting family headed by William Chapman. There is some evidence that the first season was 1831. Chapman's Floating Theatre started a tra­ dition that has continued to the present, except during the Civil War. "Entertainment boats" on the Ohio waters and its tributaries ranged from the small shantyboats to the large floating palaces, pre­ senting such diversions as museums, medicine shows, minstrels, merry-go-rounds, arcades, and portrait studios.

  • February 26, 2021 Amazon Warehouse Workers In
    February 26, 2021 Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer, Alabama are voting to form a union with the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU). We are the writers of feature films and television series. All of our work is done under union contracts whether it appears on Amazon Prime, a different streaming service, or a television network. Unions protect workers with essential rights and benefits. Most importantly, a union gives employees a seat at the table to negotiate fair pay, scheduling and more workplace policies. Deadline Amazon accepts unions for entertainment workers, and we believe warehouse workers deserve the same respect in the workplace. We strongly urge all Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer to VOTE UNION YES.

    CULTURAL EXCHANGE: THE ROLE OF STANISLAVSKY AND THE MOSCOW ART THEATRE’S 1923 AND1924 AMERICAN TOURS Cassandra M. Brooks, B.A. Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 2014 APPROVED: Olga Velikanova, Major Professor Richard Golden, Committee Member Guy Chet, Committee Member Richard B. McCaslin, Chair of the Department of History Mark Wardell, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Brooks, Cassandra M. Cultural Exchange: The Role of Stanislavsky and the Moscow Art Theatre’s 1923 and 1924 American Tours. Master of Arts (History), August 2014, 105 pp., bibliography, 43 titles. The following is a historical analysis on the Moscow Art Theatre’s (MAT) tours to the United States in 1923 and 1924, and the developments and changes that occurred in Russian and American theatre cultures as a result of those visits. Konstantin Stanislavsky, the MAT’s co-founder and director, developed the System as a new tool used to help train actors—it provided techniques employed to develop their craft and get into character. This would drastically change modern acting in Russia, the United States and throughout the world. The MAT’s first (January 2, 1923 – June 7, 1923) and second (November 23, 1923 – May 24, 1924) tours provided a vehicle for the transmission of the System. In addition, the tour itself impacted the culture of the countries involved. Thus far, the implications of the 1923 and 1924 tours have been ignored by the historians, and have mostly been briefly discussed by the theatre professionals. This thesis fills the gap in historical knowledge.

  • Show Boat” (1932) Added to the National Registry: 2005 Essay by Todd Decker (Guest Post)*
    “Show Boat” (1932) Added to the National Registry: 2005 Essay by Todd Decker (guest post)* Helen Morgan Original album package Paul Robeson Before the long-playing record (or LP) made original cast albums a key component of the Broadway musical, record companies recognized the potential of turning a Broadway score into a unified experience for home listeners. The 1927 musical “Show Boat” was the first to receive this treatment. In 1932, the year of “Show Boat’s” first Broadway revival, the Brunswick label released a set of four specially-recorded 78s of songs from the show. The discs were bound in a handsome album featuring cover art taken from the sheet music for the Broadway show which had, in turn, been derived from the cover of Edna Ferber’s 1926 novel. The lavish set’s liner notes described the collection as an “album of music from one of the most tuneful and popular operettas of the modern day.” Conducted by Victor Young and using custom orchestral arrangements—not those played by the pit orchestra in the theater—the Brunswick set features two singing stars who shaped “Show Boat” both in the minds of its creators and for the show’s enthusiastic early audiences: Paul Robeson and Helen Morgan. Music critics praised the unity of Young’s collection, “obviously recorded as a unit and with great care.” And even though listening to all eight sides would have been a clunky affair at the time—involving much changing and flipping of discs—Young clearly imagined the set as a whole. The inclusion of sides titled “Overture” and “’Show Boat’ Finale” suggest a partial playing order.

Using cultural criticism as its primary critical heuristic filter, this project analyzes how the lingering influence of folklore animates the human corpses that populate canonical and extra-canonical nineteenth-century British literature.
