    Extractions: Last updated January 10, 1999 It was a time of new technology, new ideas, and new opportunities. Life in general was becoming more exciting and more complicated. Early November, 1919—daylight savings time, which had been put into effect during World War I, had just been abolished. The Great War had been over for about a year, as had the deadly influenza epidemic. Governor Lynn J. Frazier was ready to take over operation of North Dakota’s coal mines to settle a strike. Editorials and letters to the editor warned about Reds, anarchists, and the Non-partisan League. Count Ilya Tolstoy was scheduled to speak in Grand Forks on "The Truth About Russia." The Dakota Playmakers from the University were preparing for a two-day Ibsen festival which they would get to perform in the opulent Metropolitan Theatre downtown. Construction was being completed on the New Grand, the largest theatre in town ever built for the purpose of showing only moving pictures. This new theatre would operate for a longer period of time than any other theatre ever built in Grand Forks, changing its name twice after extensive remodeling projects. Shortly after sound films were introduced the New Grand became the Paramount for about 25 years, and after it modernized again and converted to CinemaScope it was renamed the Empire, the name it has held for the longest time.

    Extractions: Jon Pertwee, actor, died yesterday aged 76. He was born on July 7, 1919. JON PERTWEE was the third actor to play the title role in Dr Who for television. He took over from Patrick Troughton in the seventh season of the series in 1970, and remained with it for five years, before cosmetically "regenerating", before the eyes of horrified children, into a new Doctor played by Tom Baker. Pertwee's five-year stint as the Doctor encompassed some radical changes to the BBC children's programme. Instead of the Tardis (an acronym for Time and Relative Dimensions in Space), Unit HQ became the Doctor's new base of operations, and a team of Unit personnel, led by Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart, joined the Doctor's regular team of daring female companions. Despite the new family, the onus for making the programme work rested as firmly as ever on the shoulders of the Doctor. Pertwee took a risk on playing him as a camp, charismatic scientist, respendently dressed for time travel in a velvet smoking jacket, ruffled shirt and red satin lined cape. Although Pertwee was quick to acknowledge the blessing which Dr Who and later TV's Worzel Gummidge had bestowed upon his career, he had mixed feelings about being forever manacled, in the public imagination, to children's television. He had also done excellent work in radio, theatre, vaudeville, cabaret. He had appeared in 120 films and was doing an energetic one-man show in his mid-seventies. But, while he had enjoyed a comfortable, profitable career, and was rarely out of work, there was also something rather chaotic about his curriculum vitae. It lacked the sort of single-minded focus which propels less talented individuals to greater heights.

    Extractions: The guys then got together to start writing an album that was just a title ( Waiting For The Electrician Or Someone Like Him ) at that point, from scratch, unable to draw from any theatrical performing experience together. It all seemed to work so well that FIRESIGN THEATRE then began a series of round table discussion sessions, forming their emerging, and still surviving, working writing style. They were their own best and most critical audience with the ultimate result and the highest compliment, being to make each other laugh. From the very beginnings FIRESIGN employed the truest sense of democracy; only material that they all agreed to incorporate became part of their compositions. The one man veto and the filtration system of four high intellects stimulated a group built on trust and a handshake of legal anarchy, leaving each to pursue their own career directions and projects. They threw the flotsam and jetsam of their own daily lives into the stream of consciousness, free association humor of their audio mind movies, churning out surrealised versions of classic radio. They developed a continuing theme of parody, power, paranoia, and populism, running the entire political gauntlet of American culture with no idea for mass marketing but to please and impress each other. However, when one looks at the immense radio and show business background of the individual members of the group, there is little wonder of their eminent success.

    Extractions: Professor Susan Kattwinkel Vaudeville, America’s popular mainstream entertainment before motion pictures, radio and television, will take a high-tech curtain call. Susan Kattwinkel, a theatre professor at the College of Charleston, is involved in a computer modeling production called “Virtual Vaudeville.” Officially known as “A Live Performance Simulation System: Virtual Vaudeville,” the project has been awarded a $900,000 grant from the National Science Foundation. Kattwinkel is part of a team of theatre historians, musicologists, computer scientists, and animators from seven universities that plans, in 2004, to stage a first-of-its-kind internet vaudeville show. “New computer technology does need to be invented for this,” said Kattwinkel. “The idea of putting performance modeling together with a virtual reality environment is new in the way that we want to do it.” Performance modeling involves putting sensors on a person’s body and then digitizing all of the movements so that computer models can be constructed. The technology is now used in athletics to study, for example, a golfer or baseball player’s swing.

    While the titles of Music for radio and Music Music for the theatre is important,too, as the by Webster s Dictionary as a sort of vaudeville characterised by  
    http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/classical/archive/copland3.shtml
    
    Extractions: Prairie Journal (Music for Radio) Music for Radio , and later the railroad ballad John Henry, and Letter from Home for the Paul Whiteman dance band. Music for Radio was one of a group of six works commissioned by the CBS network in 1936 from a varied group of American composers. Copland completed it shortly before its first performance, in a studio broadcast in July 1937. The piece is scored for a medium-sized orchestra, but (unusually for Copland) with cues allowing some instruments, including all three saxophones, to be omitted if unavailable. There are signs of the work's studio origins in many details of its scoring, with solos for woodwind and muted brass which seem designed for close-micing techniques (one flute solo is actually marked 'at the microphone'), and simple textures, including several passages in bare octaves, which must have been intended to make their effect even in difficult listening conditions. Moreover, the language of the work is clearly designed to attract a large general audience, with references to various styles of popular music and familiar idioms. At the same time, the form is by no means easy to follow: the piece plays continuously for around 11 minutes, and forms one of Copland's characteristic asymmetrical arches. There is a sharply rhythmic opening with a broad, lyrical continuation, followed by a passage in dotted rhythms, and a slow episode with a clarinet melody 'in the manner of a folk song'. An extended central section is virtually a development, except that alongside ideas from the opening it introduces much new material, including one recurring jagged rhythmic figure. The dotted-rhythm passage returns, more strident than before, then the opening with its lyrical continuation, and finally the folk-song melody, which leads to a quiet ending. Copland initially referred to the work as 'Radio Serenade', then as
