http://www.playbill.com/reference/theatre_info/2177.html

Extractions: Palace Theatre (Broadway) The world's most famous vaudeville house from 1913 until the 1930's when talking pictures killed vaudeville, the Palace was bought by the Nederlanders in 1965, beautifully renovated and became a legit theatre in 1966 with the gala opening of "Sweet Charity," the hit musical by Neil Simon, Cy Coleman and Dorothy Fields, starring Gwen Verdon, directed and choreographed by Bob Fosse (Tony Award). This famed theatre was again extensively restored prior to the opening of its most recent hit, the multi-Tony Award-winning musical "The Will Rogers Follies" by Comden/Green and Cy Coleman, starring Keith Carradine, directed and choreographed by Tommy Tune (awarded two Tonys for his work). Two other enormous hits of the 1980's were the Jerry Herman/Harvey Fierstein musical "La Cage aux Folles," starring George Hearn and Gene Barry, which won six Tony Awards and ran for 1,761 performances, this theatre's longest-running show; and the hit musical "Woman of the Year,"which won Tony Awards for Lauren Bacall and Marilyn Cooper, Kander and Ebb (score) and Peter Stone (book). During the 1970's such superstars as Bette Midler, Josephine Baker, Shirley MacLaine and Diana Ross made spectacular personal appearances. Legitimate attractions during this period included Christopher Plummer (Tony Award) in the musical "Cyrano"; Carol Channing in a revised version of "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" called "Lorelei"; Richard Kiley in a return engagement of "Man of La Mancha"; Joel Grey in Jerry Herman's "The Grand Tour" based on the play "Jacobowsky and the Colonel;" a rousing revival of "Oklahoma!;" John Carradine in a spectacular production of "Frankenstein;" and Lauren Bacall, Len Cariou, Penny Fuller, Bonnie Franklin and Lee Roy Reams in the mega-hit "Applause," which won Tonys for Bacall, Betty Comden and Adolph Green (book), Charles Strouse and Lee Adams (score) and Ron Field (director and choreographer). The musical flourished here for 18 months.

Extractions: Story by Peggy Graham JCCC Turns on the Air Waves for Radio Gals OVERLAND PARK, Kan. In the heyday of radio and bathtub gin, retired music teacher Hazel C. Hunt took to the airwaves with WGAL. The result is the zany musical Radio Gals , which will be presented by the Johnson County Community College Department of Theatre at 8 p.m. Thursday-Saturday, Nov. 20-22, and 2 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 23, in The Theatre of the Carlsen Center on the JCCC campus. Hazel received the 100-watt Western Electric radio transmitter as a retirement gift and now airs a daily show from her parlor in Cedar Rapids, Ark. Hazel and her Hazelnuts, a talented if wacky quintet of singers/ musicians she is proud to claim as former students, set hearts thumping and toes tapping with songs, chit-chat and an occasional plug for Horehound Compounds, a rejuvenating tonic that owes its kick to the still out back. All this merriment is threatened when the radio commissioner arrives to shut Hazel down for using unauthorized airwaves wave jumping. The plot is the perfect vehicle for 21 original songs written by Mike Craver and Mark Hardwick, who also created Pump Boys and Dinettes . Director of the show is Brad Zimmerman, executive director of Chestnut Fine Arts Center, Olathe, and founder of the Dickens Carolers.

Extractions: Jack Benny Gordon Productions was proud to present stage and screen actor Jack Milo in NOW CUT THAT OUT - IMAGES OF JACK BENNY Central Illinois audiences have enjoyed Jack Milo for over 20 years with his appearances at the Little Theatre on the Square in Sullivan. Jack has played the leading roles in such classic shows as FIDDLER ON THE ROOF, A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE FORUM, SOUTH PACIFIC, GUYS AND DOLLS SUGAR BABIES , and many others. In addition to his work on the Little Theatre stage, Jack has starred in theatres across the country, toured in the stage version of the film musical FAME , and appeared in the hit movie, THAT THING YOU DO The idea for NOW CUT THAT OUT - IMAGES OF JACK BENNY , started in a coffee house when the owner believed that there was something in the way Jack Milo spoke that made her think of Mr. Benny. Having been a big fan of Benny, Jack Milo went to work to capture his wonderful spirit. After Milo researched books on Jack Benny and the heyday of radio, and listened to over 600 of Bennys radio programs, a show began to come together. A combination play, performance piece and a history of Mr. Bennys life, this has been a journey of love and fun for Jack Milo. Concerned about the monotony of a one-man show, Milo the writer devised a twist for Milo the performer a computerized system involving sound clips. That system will allow Milo to interact with the voices of Benny friends and foils Mary Livingston, Fred Allen, Mel Blanc and Rochester.
Frizzi Lazzi-Italian American Experience

http://www.frizzilazzi.com/italianexpierence.htm

Extractions: IN OVER TWO HUNDRED DELIGHTFUL, PHOTOGRAPHS Italian-American theatre sprang to life in New York City shortly after waves of Italian immigrants poured into this country in the 1870s. The mass migration brought both the performers and the audiences necessary for theatrical entertainment. Hungry for recognition, support, and social exchange, the men and women from Italy formed amateur theatrical clubs as one way of satisfying emotional needs. By 1900, the community had produced the major forces that created Italian-American theatre of the ensuing decades. In The Italian-American Immigrant Theatre of New York City, author Emelise Aleandri regenerates the excitement of the stage through striking photographs, programs, and other memorabilia generously loaned by families of the theatre community. She follows the fortunes of the earliest nineteenth-century companies and introduces those that arose in the twentieth century. Within these pages are scenes of comedy, tragedy, vaudeville, and radio, featuring stars such as Mimi Cecchini, Guglielmo Ricciardi, Concetta Arcamone, Antonio Maiori, Rita Berti, Farfariello, and Olga Barbato. Little Italy Book cover In Little Italy , author Emelise Aleandri recreates the aura of a time gone by, in a nostalgic revisiting of the streets and buildings of this neighborhood through striking photographs, documents and other memorabilia generously loaned by families of the community and from archival sources. Dr. Aleandri, a native of Riva del Garda, Italy, is a producer, director, actress, writer and singer. She has a Ph.D. in Theatre from the City University of New York She is also the President of the Metropolitan New York Chapter of the American Italian Historical Association and leads historical walking tours of Little Italy. In this book, she looks at a neighborhood that housed and served newly arrived Italian immigrants almost exclusively, and that is growing smaller and smaller geographically as other new immigrant arrivals occupy the area, thus repeating the pattern of assimilation experienced by the Italians more than a century ago.

http://www.loc.gov/exhibits/bobhope/vaude.html

Extractions: B ob Hope's first tours in vaudeville were as half of a two-man dancing team. The act appeared in "small time" vaudeville houses where ticket prices were as low as ten cents, and performances were "continuous," with as many as six shows each day. Bob Hope, like most vaudeville performers, gained his professional training in these small time theaters. W ithin five years of his start in vaudeville Bob Hope was in the "big time," playing the expensive houses where the most popular acts played. In big time vaudeville there were only two shows performed each day the theaters were called "two-a-days" and tickets cost as much as $2.00 each. The pinnacle of the big time was New York City's Palace Theatre, where every vaudevillian aspired to perform. Bob Hope played the Palace in 1931 and in 1932. A ll vaudeville comedy acts were dependent, in some part, on stock materials for inspiration. This tradition has continued in variety comedy entertainment in all of its forms, from stage to television, drawing upon what theater historian Brooks McNamara calls, "a shared body of traditional stock material." The situation comedies popular on television today are built from many of the same raw materials that shaped medicine and minstrel shows in the early nineteenth- century as well as shaping vaudeville.
