Pantomime] Lib/Mus 1916 CHASE ME, GIRLS: [revusical] Txt. George Sharratt; Mus. [n/e] George Sharratt's "musical burlesque," staged on the Harry Clay Sydney circuit, was to be initially called Hello Newtown. Notices in the 5 and 12 January 1915 issues of Australian Variety indicate that Sharratt (of the duo, Sharratt and Lang) was then rehearsing the production, and that it would open on the 15th. The 19 January issue, however, in reviewing the previous Saturday program at Clay's Bridge Theatre refers to the Sharratt production, Chase Me Girls. It is not clear at this stage why the name change was required, although it does bare similarity with Hello Coogee (and its various revivals, Hello Brisbane etc), a revusical produced by the Paul Stanhope Merry Musical Burlesque Company in 1915. Australian Variety, which had criticised three of Clay's 1915 revusicals notes that Chase Me Girls' Bridge Theatre premiere made quite an impression on the big audience. "Noticeable are the many quick changes the girls have, and about the best and most prominent one was 'Australia Will be There,'" wrote the magazine's critic, Harry Kitching (n. pag.). 1916: Bridge Theatre, Newtown (Sydney); 15 Jan. - Dir.

THE BROOK: [revusical] Txt. Jack Kearns and Harry Sadler; Mus. [n/e] The Theatre describes the February 1916 Princess Theatre (Sydney) production thus: "In the background sat comedian Billy Maloney high up on a bank, with a rod and line in his hand; and as the other members of the company cavorted in the foreground Mr Maloney varied the proceedings by 'landing' such articles as boots and corsets and vegetables" ("On Your Nut," 46-47). Although Maloney and Kearns received a positive review from X-Ray, the Theatre's variety editor, the production was considered to be "dead" in most other areas. NB: It is possible that this Kearns/Sadler production may have been a reworked adaptation of a two act musical burlesque of the same name staged by Charles W. and Harry P. Cogill as early as October 1888 (St George's Hall, Melb). When the Cogills revived it in 1891 as part of their Christmas week entertainment at Melbourne's Garrick Theatre (the cast also included W. Horace Bent), Jack Kearns was playing a small role in a production of Jack the Giant Killer at the Alexandra Theatre. Kearns, therefore, would have not only known about the burlesque, but could quite possibly have seen the Cogills' version. 1916: Princess Theatre, Sydney; 5-11 Feb. - Dir/Prod/Lse.

Jack Kearns and Harry Sadler; Mus. [n/e] Set in a Sydney boarding house, the cast of characters includes a young army recruit, the boarding house keeper (Mrs O'Flanagan), and various lodgers and local residents. "The curtain rises on a festive boarding house scene," records the Theatre in its review of the 1916 Princess Theatre production. "The guest [is] a young fellow in khaki [who] is going to the front… Then the front-cloth descends. After it comes down Mr Kearns appears in the guise of an Irish M. P. from Goondiwindi (Queensland), looking for an 'ould friend of mine phwat keeps a Sydney boarding-house - Mrs O'Flanagan.'" In this search he meets a number of other characters representing different types of Sydney residents, "and in that way the audience are provided with a lot of humorously skittish stuff. In turn songs are given by Peter Brooks, Harry Sadler, Cliff O'Keefe, Billy Maloney, Beattie McDonald, Vera Kearns, Violet Elliot and Mr Kearns himself… Finally the front-cloth is raised once more disclosing the boarding house - this time with the lodgers at the table more or less busy on a meal, and the landlady flying about here and there. The Mr Kearns enters. The keeper of the place, Mrs Flanagan, is the 'ould friend' he is looking for! Then the fun - in which all the boarders participate - follows fast and furious" ("On Your Nut," 46-47). 1916: Princess Theatre, Sydney; 12-18 Feb. - Dir/Prod/Lse. Harry Sadler and Jack Kearns; Prop.

[n/e] Described by X-Ray in the Theatre as arguably the best of the Prince/Zoli productions ("Month," 49), the plot of Full Steam Ahead revolved around the characters Jimmy Pannikin (an intoxicated bosu), John Stormalong (an Italian sea captain), and Giuseppe Prospecto (an Italian financier). Other characters identified in 1916 were Cora Cannon, a naval officer and a Cockney curio. Jimmy Pannikin was also later renamed Dicky Front.

    FRED MONUMENT AUSTRALIAN VARIETY THEATRE ARCHIVE: RESEARCH NOTES See last page for citation, copyright and last updated details. (-1954) English-born singer (baritone), songwriter, teacher (singing), entertainer, radio host, stage and musical director, character actor, film prologue specialist. Born at Wood Green, London, possibly in the mid to late-1880s, Fred Monument intended pursuing a business career after he completed his schooling. A passion for singing led to him being trained by Bernard Flanders and in 1906 he won a gold medal at the East London Musical Festival. After making the decision to become a professional singer Monument reportedly found initial success through appearances at the Queen's Hall under the direction of Henry J. Wood (later Sir Henry J. Wood). In 1910 he accepted an engagement with Herbert Fordyce's Patchwork Musical Company as principal baritone and the following year moved into variety entertainment as a member of Roland Henry's Comedy Entertainers. 1912 saw him win the Grand Prix at the London Musical Festival1 and visit the USA. He then decided to try his luck in Australia. Within days of his arrival he secured an engagement with Edward Branscombe that involved touring Australia with the entrepreneur's Green Dandies Telegraph (Brisbane) 8 June troupe for two years beginning November 1912. 1932, 6. Shortly before the Dandies opened for a season at St Kilda, Melbourne October 1914, Monument left to take up residence in Brisbane for a year. During his time in the Queensland capital he became involved with such organisations as the Brisbane Musical Union, Queensland Irish Association, Brisbane Liedertafel, and Royal Society of St George.

  • Showbusiness and the Great War by Everett Sharp
    World War One Centenary : Continuations and Beginnings (University of Oxford / JISC) That's Entertainment: Showbusiness and the Great War by Everett Sharp 2012-08-29 12:12:49 In 1914, the troops marched away to patriotic airs that reflected the mood of the times and the prevailing optimism that the war would be 'over by Christmas'. The tune that best captures the spirit of the period, at least for a modern audience, was written by Jack Judge and Henry Williams in 1912: It's a long, long way to Tipperary. A worldwide hit, the song was translated into 17 languages and had sold over eight million copies by 1919.[1] Other pieces that reflected a sentimental view of the Empire and the military were ?Goodbye Dolly Grey? (a popular tune from the Boer War), Fall in and follow me and Are we downhearted; these pre-war songs easily crossed from the Music Halls to the men on the march, who enjoyed community singing as a form of entertainment and found in the songs many of the manly virtues that they aspired to. In 1915 this mood still prevailed, and a competition to find a 'rousing wartime song' was won by Felix and George Powell's famous Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag and smile, smile, smile. By 1916, however, long lists of war wounded and dead had removed any hope that the conflict would soon be over. Volunteer recruitment could no longer be relied upon, enthusiasm waned, and conscription was introduced in May of that year. There was a dawning realisation that the songs that had captured the spirit of 1914 so well were no longer appropriate.

  • The Mousmé and the Cultural Mobility of Musical Comedy
    6 Henry Balme Yale University, USA Between Modernism and Japonism: The Mousmé and the cultural mobility of musical comedy Edwardian musical comedy had been sidelined in music and theatre histories due to its conservative design and frivolous narratives, but it is now being critically reassessed for the role it played in the creation of a first globalised network of theatre. The Mousmé is a work that exemplifies the process of performative re- contextualisation that accompanied musical comedies as they travelled from London’s West End across the world, as far as Yokohama and Tokyo. The work appealed to British audiences because it was held to be a realistic reconstruction of Japanese culture and society, but it was also enjoyed by Japanese audiences, despite its stereotypical portrayal of their people. This apparent dichotomy is explored in this essay, which presents little-known documents surrounding the production and its travels. It sheds light on how musical theatre became culturally mobile during the first age of globalisation. Henry Balme is a full-time Ph.D. candidate in Music History at the Department of Music of Yale University. He completed his M.St. at the University of Oxford (2015) and his B.Mus. at City, University of London. Keywords: Bandmann Opera Company, cultural mobility, Edwardian musical comedy, Florence Smithson, George Edwardes, globalisation, japonism, Maurice E. Bandmann, modernity ulture is rarely stable or fixed.1 This claim is corroborated by the global Ctransmission and reception of Edwardian musical comedy. For a long time the genre had been considered an obscure part of musical theatre history and thus demoted to the sidelines of musicology and theatre studies.2 It is now being critically re-assessed for the importance it played in the globalisation of theatre during the first fifteen years of the twentieth century: musical comedy became a medium of extraordinary mobility, transmitted via the transnational travel and communication networks that had been put into place during the nineteenth century.
