The Social And Moral Principles In The Dramas Of Manuel Tamayo Y Baus, Sylvia Potuondo

Bachelors’ Theses

Of Tamayo y Baus it may be said as of the poets, that he was born and not made a dramatist. A friendly biographer, who lived in intimate relation with him, tells us that this great genius, like the gods or old, always appeared to him enveloped in a cloud. His actions were ever in conformity with his art-- even his death was as if practiced and rehearsed in anticipation, but on reading his critics we learn how very human was his life.

Barter, Otterbein University

1907-1958 Productions

In Barter we have portrayed a New Testament theme with the utmost respect and vividness. It is a very pathetic human story, evolving around the great betrayal of Judas and made to play its way across a stage already set for the greater drama of Calvary. The author shows how love and respectability are bartered for power and place at the very time that the life of Christ is being bartered for mankind. --Irish Catholic

The Technique Of Shakespeare's Early Comedies, Mary Alice Procissi

Bachelors’ Theses

In this thesis I have attempted to trace the dramatic technique of the early comedies of Wiilliam Shakespeare. As a setting for the development of my thesis, "The Technique of Shakespeare's Early Comedies" I have given a brief history of the rise of the Shakespearean drama, showing the relation of the early dramatists to Shakespeare as a writer of comedy, including also a sketch of the Elizabethan theatre. Under the definition of the term technique, I include chiefly a division of his plays into acts and scenes, character drawing, source of plot and treatment of plot.

Much Ado About Nothing, Otterbein University

1907-1958 Productions

Much Ado About Nothing is a comedy by William Shakespeare thought to have been written in 1598 and 1599, as Shakespeare was approaching the middle of his career. The play was included in the First Folio, published in 1623.

By means of "noting" (which, in Shakespeare's day, sounded similar to "nothing" as in the play's title, and which means gossip, rumour, and overhearing), Benedick and Beatrice are tricked into confessing their love for each other, and Claudio is tricked into rejecting Hero at the altar on the erroneous belief that she has been unfaithful. At the end, Benedick and Beatrice …

The Social Position Of The Actor, Maxine Schlingman

Bachelors’ Theses

In writing this thesis the author is endeavoring to determine the actor’s social status as the theatre has developed. Taking into consideration the outstanding steps in the general stride of theatrical progress, the author has attempted to prove that as the theatre itself becomes degenerate, as audiences desire low forms of spectacle, the actor is not respected.

Max Reinhardt: A Study Of A Regisseur, Pearl M. Rogatz

Bachelors’ Theses

Max Reinhardt is the epitome of all great art in the theatre. To him we owe the recreation of the importance and necessity of a knowledge of stagecrafts, the glorification of the dance, the beauty of exquisite costuming and the inspirational effect of music. Germany could not have reached such great heights in world theatre without Max Reinhardt, nor could her dramatic art have enjoyed such widespread fame. Others have been mere followers of the great Reinhardt for nothing accomplished on the German stage is so far removed that it cannot be traced back to this great name in the …

David Garrick And Edmund Kean At The Drury Lane Theatre In London, Dorothy Seegers

Bachelors’ Theses

Fame and the actor. All art is a study of life; but there is only one art in which the reward is of life. The poet, the painter, the writer, and the actor, all study and portray truths of human life, the beautiful in universal emotions of mankind. However, the artist of the pen or brush must submit his work to the test of time, to prove its power, its universal appeal or approbation, and thus, through the years, increase or diminish the fame of the creator. The only art in which the artist may glory in his own triumphs …

The Director In The Theatre, Margaret C. Reilly

Bachelors’ Theses

This thesis will attempt to place the director in the modern theatre. His "place" is only a few years old; his very existence as a separate individual is only about twenty years old. Materials on this subject are limited to histories of the theatre and informal discussions on theatrical figures. By quoting authorities and illustrating, by the lives and accomplishments of the most outstanding directors, the development of directing, this thesis will attempt to present the general authoritative impression of the director's place in modern drama.

The Story Of The Architectural Stage, Maurice A. Grant

Bachelors’ Theses

To justify the use of the architectural stage in the mind of the twentieth century theatergoer is not an easy task. Even when one tries to impose this modern application of an old principle on one who is versed in the art of the theater, he meets with definite opposition.
