"Art For Truth's Sake" : James A. Herne As Social Critic And Literary Artist, Nancy Hoyt Lecourt

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

James A. Herne, 1839-1901, is generally considered to be the best American dramatist prior to O'Neill. His dramas represent the first American attempts at dramatic realism. His early plays are melodramatic in tendency, but soon he began to eliminate villains, asides, stereotyped characters, and other trappings of that earlier dramatic form. When Hamlin Garland saw Herne's play dealing with the drinking problem, Drifting Apart, he was convinced that Herne could be groomed into a sort of American Ibsen. Garland soon introduced Herne to William Dean Howells, and the two authors encouraged Herne in his quest for realism. The result …

RICHARD RODGERS, TWO BY TWO

"Rodgers and Hart ... Rodgers and Hammerstein... Rodgers and Rodgers... The common denominator is a man with a passion to create, and a genius for bringing large dreams to fulfillment"

Thus David Ewen writes of Richard Rodgers' "two by two" collaborations and his rich and full lifetime of commitment to turning heartfelt melody to high dramatic purpose. While the above quoted review of his successive collaborations might lend this gifted composer a corporate rather than unique image, there is a very special appropriateness to describing his work in those terms. He has in fact spent …

Out Of This World, La Salle College

La Salle College Summer Music Theatre

OUT OF THIS WORLD is about love; it is happily appropriate that it all started here in the City of Brotherly Love at the Shubert Theatre on November 4th, 1950. After a preview try-out here, it moved to Broadway, opening December 21, 1950 under the . direction of Agnes Demille, starring Charlotte Greenwood, George Johgeyans, and William Redfield. OUT OF THIS WORLD now returns to Philadelphia, several changes to its name, with its original bundle of pure Porter delight.

During the original Philadelphia run, material came and went including several songs that seemed to go unnoticed by the critics; one …

Present Laughter, Otterbein University Theatre And Dance Department

1974 Summer Theatre

Present Laughter follows a few days in the life of the successful and self-obsessed light comedy actor Garry Essendine as he prepares to travel for a touring commitment in Africa. Amid a series of events bordering on farce, Garry has to deal with women who want to seduce him, placate both his long-suffering secretary and his estranged wife, cope with a crazed young playwright, and overcome his impending mid-life crisis, since he has recently turned forty.

Playwrights And Their Works Of Modern Drama, Sharon Hibbard

Honors Theses

Playwrights are unique people in that while they live, they are often thought of as odd and never truly understood. Maybe it is because they have a greater appreciation of the beauty of life and nature, and are more sensitive concerning emotions and even death. As Shaw once said: "Whether it be that I was born mad or a little too sane, my kingdom was not of this world; I was at home only in the realm of my imagination, and at my ease only with the mighty dead." Maybe the reason most playwrights do not see success in their …

Gertrude & Volumnia: Their Influences On Their Sons At The Climaxes Of The Plays, Laddawan Bunchoo

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

The examination of the climaxes of the two plays Hamlet, and Coriolanus, illustrates that the two mothers, Gertrude and Volumnia, have destructive influences on their sons. The closet scene in Hamlet reflects that Gertrude's second marriage and her choice of Claudius shatter Hamlet's Idealization of her in the role of the faithful wife and the virtuous mother. Hamlet's inaction and destruction are caused in part by his mother's influence.

Volumnia's influence both shapes and destroys her son. She rears him as the embodiment of her chivalric ideal of nobility. The climactic scene in this play reveals that Coriolanus' …

An Analysis Of The Themes Of Guilt And Atonement In The Writings Of Tennessee Williams, James Curry

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

The themes of guilt and atonement have been analyzed in selected writings of Tennessee Williams. Research concerning these two themes has been developed simultaneously with Williams’s concept of the universe and man. Many of Williams’s characters seek a form of atonement or purification for their guilt which has arisen due to their “incompleteness and unnatural desires.” Williams’s basic concept concerning the universe is that it is fragmented, a universe not completed by its Creator. Consequently, Williams envisions man and his nature to be likewise incomplete. It is this incompletion in man which causes him to have “unnatural desires,” labeled as …
