Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Spencer's Boston Theatre Dodd. It's of no use. I can't make head or tail Of it. They can't be all right. It's against reason. It's a diabolical and premeditated outrage on common sense. Oh! It's a ter rible thing to be forced to believe that there are beings in human form perambulating this mundane Sphere, with an ink bottle in one hand and a steel pen in the other, doing these things in cold blood. What have I ever done to war-corre spondents, that war-correspondents should take this fiendish delight in deceiving me? (reads) The enemg fled before our advancing troops, without firing a gun. That's well enough. I've not the slightest Objection to any number Of enemies flying any number Of times before any quantity of guns are fired; not a bit of it. If that's their peculiar way Of enjoying themselves, let them enjoy themselves in their peculiar way, 'heaven's N 0! It's not that: it's this.

Book Spencer s Boston Theatre  Vol  6

Download or read book Spencer s Boston Theatre Vol 6 written by J. B. Howe and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-29 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Spencer's Boston Theatre, Vol. 6: A Collection of Scarce Acting Tragedies, Comedies, Dramas, Farces and Burlettas IN presenting a sketch of the popular young tragedian, mr. J. B. Howe, we feel assured that we are gratifying the public, who are quite anxious to be made ac quainted with any information relating to this gifted young actor, who has speedily become one of the greatest favorites of the play-goers of the Athens of America. He is quite young, having been born October 23, in Charlotte Street, Pim lico, London, England. Llis father, Mr. T. Burdett Howe. Was for many years a celebrated light comedian and vocalist, attached to the London Theatres. The sub jcet of our sketch, though not intended for the histrionic profession, imbibed a yearn ing for the sock and buskin at an early age, and his first dramatic essay is re corded to have occurred in August. 1845, in the character of Miles Bellcrirm, in George Almar's very excellent drama of The Rover's Bride, on the stage of the Bower Sa loon, Stangate Street. Westminster Road, London. Subsequently he played Walter cntworlh. In the late John Wilkins's drama of The Green Hills of the Far West. At the Queen's Theatre. He then proceeded to the Provinces, and assumed the position of Juvenile Tragcdlun at the dovertheatre, at that period under the direction of Mr. Edward Laws. We next find our young hero with Manager - egentleman Rogers, at Rochdale and Blackburn; then with Fitzivilliams and Set'ton Parry, at Croyden, near London. His next step was to gain a foothold in the metropolis, and he applied to James Biddles, then manager of the Bower Saloon. And his services were at once accepted for the leading business. After a successful season at this popular theatre, he resigned his position there and joined the forces of Mr. Samuel Lane, of the Britannia Theatre, Hoxton. Where he became a general favorite, but suddenly conceived the idea to risk his fortunes in America, where genius is but to be known to be appreciated and rewarded. Ills sudden determination was scarcely conceived before it was executed; and without preparation, or indeed without mak ing his intention known to any but his immediate friends. He embarked for this country, and arrived at New York, September 28, 1853; and without a friend to grasp by the hand. Or a letter to introduce him, our energetic and zealous young adventurer, a stranger in a strange land. Made numerous unsuccessful applica tlons to the New York managers but finally met with that which his indomitable spirit so eminently deserved, an engagement with our esteemed friend Captain Purdy, Of the National Theatre, a gentleman who is noted for his amiable qualities, and who has done as much to encourage and foster rising genius, as any manager this side of the Atlantic. The part assigned to Mr. [lows for his advent was St. Clair. In the drama of Uncle Tom's Cabin, then creating a furore unprecedented in theatrical annals. The success which attended his delineation of this role for three hundred consecutive nights, sufilciently indicated that he was an artiste of rare ability. And numerous tempting inducements to visit other cities were made him, all of which he very properly rejected until the termination of the season, when Mr. Thomas Barry, Of the new Boston Theatre, solicited him to join the corps dra mallow, about to inaugurate that high-toned and classic theatre; which he did, open ing as Colonel Bri'llon in The butler. During the. Season he made rapid progress in his art. And became a very general favorite. Among other parts in which he crea ted a decidedly fiivorahle impression, we may instance Lorenzo, in Mr. E. L. Daven port's play of St. Marc. From Boston he proceeded to Baltimore to lead the business at the Museum. Opening in Mould, and creating in that difficult role a sensation of noordinary character, and eliciting from a distinguished critic the. Most. Gratifying praise. After pointing out the many beauties of his...

Download or read book Boston s Theater District written by Dale Stinchcomb and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2021-04-26 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Downtown Boston once thrived as a dazzling bohemia of burlesque halls, movie palaces, dime museums, and regal stages. By 1915, more than 20 theaters crowded along a quarter-mile stretch of lower Washington Street. The theater district gave birth to vaudeville and incubated some of America's most darling musicals and daring new dramas en route to Broadway. Theatergoers flocked to Tremont and Boylston Streets to watch the latest tryouts. Some productions flopped; others, like Oklahoma! and Paul Robeson's Othello, were runaway hits. Still others earned the coveted seal of disapproval, "Banned in Boston," from zealous city censors. Overrun by seedy venues in the 1970s, the Combat Zone, as it came to be known, seemed to justify old Puritan fears that the stage would corrupt public morals. Only in recent years has the district rebounded through careful restoration of storied playhouses like the Boston Opera House, the Majestic, and the Colonial--grand vestiges of a booming cultural corridor still vibrant today.
