Barczi A Note from the Director Sister Berthe, Mistress of Novices . Barbara Heninger Sister Sophia . Kama. Belloni The first time I saw “The Sound of Music” was in the movie theater Nuns, Novices and Postulants . Marti Coyne, Dawn Johnson, as a little girl . I absolutely loved the film . A few years later I bought a paperback Leslie Keenan, Elizabeth Claire Lawrence, Melina Lora, copy of the script, took it home, read it through immediately and realized it was Robin Merriam, Lynn Salazar, Laura Stanford, actually a script of the stage version . I was startled by the many differences between Christine Stone, Jennifer Young, Dawn Zamudio the stage version and the film . The characters were the same, and the story line was Maria Rainer, a Postulant at Nonnberg Abbey . Minna Rogers not changed, but many of the songs were different or sung by different characters Captain Georg von Trapp . Robert. Solis in different scenes . In spite of the differences, I desperately wanted to be in this play some day . I hoped to play one of the children, and then later I hoped to play Franz, the Butler . Paul. Hale Maria . But in spite of my many years in theater and the number of shows I’ve Frau Schmidt, the Housekeeper . .Marcia Sternin done, this one has always eluded me . So when the opportunity presented itself to Liesl . Lydia. Merriam-Pigg direct “The Sound of Music” for WVLO, I jumped at the chance . Rolf Gruber . John Eubank I was absolutely thrilled, but now I was faced with the dilemma that all directors Elsa Schraeder . .Erica Rogers of this show face and that is how to resolve the differences between this classic film Max Detweiler . .Matt Tipton and its stage version . I wanted to include two of my favorite songs (‘I Have Con- fidence’, and ‘Something Good’) which were in the film but not in the stage play . Herr Zeller . David Edwards Fortunately the rights to these numbers were available, so they’re in this production . Baron Elberfeld . Jerry. “Godfather” The rest of the script has been kept intact, including the two songs that were not in Admiral von Schreiber . Bill Ereneta the film, for Max, the Baroness, and the Captain (“How Can Love Survive?” and Priest . Hank Lawson “No Way To Stop It”), but which enhance the character of the Baroness . New Postulant . Elizabeth Claire Lawrence Although on stage we cannot really give you beautiful mountain views, we Nazis . Jim Gray and Hank Lawson have done our best to show some of the beauty of Austria . One thing I love about the stage version is its playfulness . I hope you will feel the genuine affection that Neighbors of the von Trapp family . Jim. Gray, Dawn Johnson, Leslie Keenan, has grown between our players . It has been delightful to work with this cast, and Hank Lawson, Elizabeth Claire Lawrence, Melina Lora, there have been many evenings as I drove home from rehearsal thinking “What Michael MacKenzie, Earl Masuda, Laura Stanford, a playful play this is!” I am so grateful to finally have a chance to bring this very Christine Stone, Jennifer Young, Dawn Zamudio special family show to this stage .

    SARATOGA SPRINGS PUBLIC LIBRARY YOUR SOURCE FOR INFORMATION, INSPIRATION, AND ENTERTAINMENT Frank Sullivan: Francis John Sullivan was born in Saratoga Springs on September 22, 1892 to Irish immigrant parents, through whom he was also related to the late Judge Michael Sweeney and television host Ed Sullivan. As a child he worked as a pump boy, serving spring water at the race track, and meeting turn-of-the-century luminaries like Diamond Jim Brady and Lillian Russell. He attended Saratoga Springs High School, working part-time for The Saratogian newspaper before graduating in 1910. His talent blossomed early, earning him a scholarship to Cornell University, where he graduated in 1914. Sulli- van returned to Saratoga Springs and worked for the newspaper again until he was drafted in 1917. After two years as a 2nd Lt. in the Infantry, he moved to New York City, ultimately ending up as a reporter and feature writer for the New York World, becoming a columnist in 1924. As a humorist, Sullivan was known for his gentle touch and for the collection of fictitious characters he created to give voice to his observations on life: Aunt Sally Gallup, Martha Hepplethwaite, the Forgotten Bach (a member of the Bach family who was tone deaf), and Mr. Arbuthnot, the cliché expert. Sullivan wrote his column until the World closed down in 1931, but he had also been writing humor articles for The New Yorker since 1926 and contin- ued to do so until the 1950s. He also contributed to Harper’s Atlantic Monthly, the Saturday Evening Post, Good Housekeeping, Vanity Fair, and other magazines.

    1 ARGUING THEIR WORLD: THE REPRESENTATION OF MAJOR SOCIAL AND CULTURAL ISSUES IN EDNA FERBER’S AND FANNIE HURST’S FICTION, 1910-1935 A dissertation presented By Kathryn Ruth Bloom to The Department of English In partial fulfillment of the reQuirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In the field of English Northeastern University Boston, Massachusetts April 2018 2 ARGUING THEIR WORLD: THE REPRESENTATION OF MAJOR SOCIAL AND CULTURAL ISSUES IN EDNA FERBER’S AND FANNIE HURST’S FICTION, 1910-1935 A dissertation presented By Kathryn Ruth Bloom ABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the reQuirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English in the College of Social Sciences and Humanities of Northeastern University April 2018 3 ABSTRACT BetWeen the early decades of the twentieth-century and mid-century, Edna Ferber and Fannie Hurst were popular and prolific authors of fiction about American society and culture. Almost a century ago, they were writing about race, immigration, economic disparity, drug addiction, and other issues our society is dealing with today with a reneWed sense of urgency. In spite of their extraordinary popularity, by the time they died within a feW months of each other in 1968, their reputations had fallen into eclipse. This dissertation focuses on Ferber’s and Hurst’s fiction published betWeen approximately 1910 and 1935, the years in Which both authors enjoyed the highest critical and popular esteem. Perhaps because these realistic narratives generally do not engage in the stylistic experimentation of the literary world around them, literary scholars came to undervalue their Work.

E. Smyth In December 1954, America’s best-selling historical novelist, Edna Ferber, wrote to director George Stevens emphasizing her continued interest in his production of her latest book, Giant. She believed that Giant’s value lay in its exposure of racial prejudice against Mexican Americans in Texas, and that its racial themes had become “more vital, more prevalent today in the United States than . when I began to write the novel.”1 Ferber hoped that one day Anglo oil millionaires like Bick Benedict and Jett Rink, the originators and perpetu- ators of these inequalities in the economic and social hierarchies of America’s new West, would be “anachronisms like the dear old covered wagons and the California gold-rush boys.”2 Later in May 1955, when shooting first began on the film, Ferber wrote to Henry Ginsberg, producer and co-founder of the inde- pendent film company, Giant Productions, “I don’t quite know why the motion picture presentation of Giant interests and fascinates me much more than the screen career of any of my other novels or plays. That goes for Show Boat, So Big, Cimarron, and many others. Perhaps it is because behind the characters and events in Giant there stands a definite meaning, a purpose.”3 Although Ferber had considered writing a historical novel about Texas as early as 1939, she only started to research the topic seriously after the war.

  • OWR0029-Godwin
    j.godwin - the ideological rodeo - 4/27/05 - 1 Copyleftists and the Liberation of American Intellectual Property By Jennifer Godwin (written 2002) Let's talk about Eldred vs. Ashcroft. John Ashcroft is the Attorney General and Eric Eldred runs this online etext archive called the Eldritch Press. Eric is suing the government, and this month the case hits the Supreme Court of the United States. The dispute is this: Eldred wants to put etexts online for public consumption, but American copyright law forbids this until decades, and sometimes more than a century, after the work is first created. Thinking this was a bit much, Eldred went ahead and sued, because he believes that endless expansions of copyright protection shrink the public domain at a great cost to the public, both here and abroad. The tug-of-war between the feds and Eldred went all the way to the Supremes. This fall they look at the case, and by extension, American copyright laws, and they'll decide if those laws are structurally unfair. Now don't get me wrong, I like copyrights. I'm a writer, and my brother is an artist, and we'd both like to live by our creativity. But it's not obvious that our heirs should own our creative output in perpetuity. Sure, they can roll around in the cash we bring in during our lifetimes, but should they really own a not-theirs idea outright for, like, ever? What would the world be like if only Edison heirs owned the idea of a light bulb? What if all patents improving the light bulb were j.godwin - the ideological rodeo - 4/27/05 - 2 deemed 'sampling' and therefore an illegal violation of patent law? I think the world would either be darn dark or damn expensive.

    id ehrow M~derns Popular American Women Writers of the 1920s Edited by LISA BOTSHON & MEREDITH GO(DSMITH --~~~-~--~-~-···-·---·- NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY PRESS BOSTON \"Written with a Hard and Ruthless Purpose": Rose Wilder Lane, Edna Ferber, and Middlebrow Regional Fiction DONNA CAMJPJBELL hen Walter Benn Michaels proposed in Our America that "the great Am.erican modernist texts of the '2os must be under­ W stood as deeply committed to the nativist project of raciaJizing the American" (13), his examination left out popular middlebrow novels such as those by Edna Ferber and Rose Wilder Lane, two writers whose novels both complicate and challenge Michaels's assertions. Close contem­ poraries Lane (r886-r968) and Ferber (r885-1968) carved out careers in journalism and as professional writers of popular fiction before settling on regional fiction. Starting out as a reporter for the Milwaukee journal, Ferber published her first novel, Dawn O'Hara, in 19II, and in tire following de­ cade she became famous for several story collections-Roast Beef, Medium (1913), Personality Plus (1914), and Emma McChesney and Company (1915)­ that examined issues oflabor, urban life, and the "New Woman" through the practical eyes of their heroine, middle-aged clothing saleswoman Emma McChesney. Best known today for her collaborative role in writing the "Little House" series of children's books with her mother, Laura Ingalls Wilder, Rose Wilder Lane was far more celebrated than her mother in the 1910s and 1920s, when she worked as a feature writer for the San Francisco Bulletin and published serial fiction, travel sketches, and bi­ ographies in Sunset and other magazines.

Gray, B.F.A., M.A. A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School, Marquette University, In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Educational Policy and Leadership) Milwaukee, Wisconsin December 2016 ABSTRACT IN PLAIN SIGHT: CHANGING REPRESENTATIONS OF “BIRACIAL” PEOPLE IN FILM 1903-2015 Charles L. Gray, B.F.A., M.A. Marquette University, 2016 Rooted in slavery, the United States in both law and custom has a long history of adhering to the one drop rule–the stipulation that any amount of African ancestry constitutes an individual as black. Given this history, decidedly mixed race people have been subjected to a number of degrading stereotypes.
