Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cornelia Pickle, Plaintiff: A Burlesque Trial for Ladies Scene: At C. of back of stage is a desk and chair for the Judge. Along the L. of the stage are chairs for the jury, and at the L. of the Judge, are chairs for the witnesses. At the C., rather near front of stage, is a small table for the two attorneys and the clerk. At the R. and L. corners of front are chairs for the plaintiff and defendant, Miss Pickle sitting near Mrs. Sharp, and Mrs. Dashing near Miss Talker. At the R. of the stage is a low box on which witnesses stand while giving testimony. Doors R. and L. As the curtain rises the Judge, Miss Talker, the Defendant and Plaintiff, the Witnesses, and Clerk, stand in groups about the stage, talking excitedly, and most of them at once. Judge takes place at desk. Judge (rapping with gavel). Order! Silence! Let's begin work immediately so we can get through early. Mary Talker (to Mrs. Dashing). Oh, dear, is my hair all right? I washed it last night and I can't do a thing with it today. Mrs. Dashing. It's all right - it looks fine.( All take places.) Enter Mrs. Sharp, hurriedly from R. Mrs. Sharp. Oh, mercy! I rushed so to be here on time that I'm all out of breath. We had unexpected company for dinner and I had to help my husband with the meal, so I thought I'd never get here. (Sinks into chair.) Judge (rapping). Order! (To Clerk, crossly.) There! You've forgotten the soft pillows again! Haven't I told you we don't enjoy these hard chairs without cushions? Bring them in.

Download or read book Reagan written by Bob Spitz and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2019-10-01 with total page 882 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From New York Times bestselling biographer Bob Spitz, a full and rich biography of an epic American life, capturing what made Ronald Reagan both so beloved and so transformational. More than five years in the making, based on hundreds of interviews and access to previously unavailable documents, and infused with irresistible storytelling charm, Bob Spitz's REAGAN stands fair to be the first truly post-partisan biography of our 40th President, and thus a balm for our own bitterly divided times. It is the quintessential American triumph, brought to life with cinematic vividness: a young man is born into poverty and raised in a series of flyspeck towns in the Midwest by a pious mother and a reckless, alcoholic, largely absent father. Severely near-sighted, the boy lives in his own world, a world of the popular books of the day, and finds his first brush with popularity, even fame, as a young lifeguard. Thanks to his first great love, he imagines a way out, and makes the extraordinary leap to go to college, a modest school by national standards, but an audacious presumption in the context of his family's station. From there, the path is only very dimly lit, but it leads him, thanks to his great charm and greater luck, to a solid career as a radio sportscaster, and then, astonishingly, fatefully, to Hollywood. And the rest, as they say, is history. Bob Spitz's REAGAN is an absorbing, richly detailed, even revelatory chronicle of the full arc of Ronald Reagan's epic life - giving full weight to the Hollywood years, his transition to politics and rocky but ultimately successful run as California governor, and ultimately, of course, his iconic presidency, filled with storm and stress but climaxing with his peace talks with the Soviet Union that would serve as his greatest legacy. It is filled with fresh assessments and shrewd judgments, and doesn't flinch from a full reckoning with the man's strengths and limitations. This is no hagiography: Reagan was never a brilliant student, of anything, and his disinterest in hard-nosed political scheming, while admirable, meant that this side of things was left to the other people in his orbit, not least his wife Nancy; sometimes this delegation could lead to chaos, and worse. But what emerges as a powerful signal through all the noise is an honest inherent sweetness, a gentleness of nature and willingness to see the good in people and in this country, that proved to be a tonic for America in his time, and still is in ours. It was famously said that FDR had a first-rate disposition and a second-rate intellect. Perhaps it is no accident that only FDR had as high a public approval rating leaving office as Reagan did, or that in the years since Reagan has been closing in on FDR on rankings of Presidential greatness. Written with love and irony, which in a great biography is arguably the same thing, Bob Spitz's masterpiece will give no comfort to partisans at either extreme; for the rest of us, it is cause for celebration.

Download or read book American Women Playwrights 1900 1930 written by Frances Diodato Bzowski and published by Greenwood. This book was released on 1992-07-27 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first three decades of the twentieth century saw the New Woman writing an astonishing array of dramatic presentations. This checklist, gleaned from hundreds of library collections and out-of-print anthologies, reveals over 12,000 plays by perhaps 2,000 American women. Some of these works are well known, most are not; some are of enduring literary quality, probably most are not; but all are of social significance and serve to document women's history of the period. Included in a broad definition of play, are dramas and comedies, musicals, farces, monologues and dialogues, pageants and masques, stunts and exercises, operas and cantatas. In addition to adult drama, there are numerous plays written for children and for holiday celebrations. A vast amount of dramatic material was written for amateur theatre, school and church productions, and community events. The sheer volume of these mostly unrewarded contributions is noteworthy, and this checklist should be consulted by researchers in women's studies as well as drama. Playwrights include such noted writers as Susan Glaspell and Zora Neale Hurston in addition to many unremembered women, some of whom have entries for scores of plays. The playwrights are listed in alphabetical order with their works following. Information is given on life dates as known, and the playwrights are keyed to inclusion in major biographical reference books if relevant. The type of dramatic presentation and number of acts is indicated, as is production and publication information as available; and, in almost all cases, at least one library or anthology source is given, coded to a list in the front of the book. Appendixes record contributions to several anthologies, and a selected bibliography completes the work.
