Thatrical Reviews And Dramatic Criticisms Of Pulitzer Prize Dramas, Mary Agnes Mclaughlin

Bachelors’ Theses

The popular conception of dramatic criticism to the majority of people and oftentimes producers and directors is that the dramatic critic seems a spiritless person whose interest leads him only into judgment and away from performance. Another cause for head shaking is the simple fact that one man assumes the right to pass judgment on his peers, to say nothing of his betters.

A milliner turned respectable wife of high society, Mrs. Tiffany urges her daughter Seraphina to snag a husband of particular grace and class, the “Count” Jolimaitre, and to ignore the poet Twinkle except as a recipient of patronage. Jolimaitre is a fraud, and recognized as such by the maid Millinette, but nevertheless assumes all the affections of a fashionable gentleman in order to further his interests, much to the chagrin of Adam Trueman, a Yankee, who eschews both Mrs. Tiffany and Jolimaitre from the first introductions – or lack thereof. Trueman attempts to set things straight by confronting Mr. Tiffany, …

The Effect Of European Festivals On American Entertainment, Florence Veall

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The selection of the subject "The effect of European Festivals on American Entertainment" was prompted by an assignment in a College of the Pacific Summer School course, "Supervision in the Elementary School."

The project was the planning of a patrictic program in an immigrant community. Each nationality represented in the class was to provide a national impression of the homeland of his ancestors, by means of costume, song, and dance typical of the country. After an hour of very interesting entertainment which gave an introduction to the background of the foreign members of the class, all lustily sang "America," led …

The Reactions Of Critics To Modern Historical Plays, Helen Maier

Bachelors’ Theses

Within the last half dozen years there has been a revival in the writing and production of historical plays. The purpose of this thesis is to show how theatre-critics react to the outstanding plays of this type which, incidentally, nearly monopolized the boards for this period. This reaction is gauged by a study of criticisms published in a New York newspaper, two professional theatrical magazines, two non-professional magazines, and a religious magazine. The opinions studied are those of Brooks Atkinson of The New York Times, John Hutchins and Edith J. R. Isaacs of Theatre Arts Monthly, Thomas Craven, …

The Little Theatre Movement In Wisconsin, Austin Norbert Robert Rodeman

Bachelors’ Theses

The decline of the professional theatre in Wisconsin, and in this country as a whole, has brought with it the rise of what is known as the Little Theatre Movement. This decline of the professional theatre has been brought about by the distraction of modern life, the cost of railroad transportation as it affects traveling companies and especially the diversion of the masses to the motion pictures. With the decline of the commercial trouping companies, many cities found themselves without any spoken drama except the synthetic production, motion pictures, which to the genuine lover of the theatre is, in a …
