By 1909 it was a large community, certainly large enough to support a Theatre. The Ilford Hippodrome opened on November 8th, 1909. The building was designed by Frank Matcham and cost £35,000 to build. It had 2,500 seats and a further 500 standing places. The Hippodrome survived for 35 years – during some of which it was forced to show films as interest in live Variety waned – and finally met its end during a performance of the pantomime on January 12th 1945. It was destroyed in the blast from a V2 rocket. One person was killed and over a hundred were injured. (A further fifteen people were killed in the housing immediately behind the theatre).

63. Theatre History Of The Lincoln In Belleville IL Lincoln Theatre. 103 E. Main St., Belleville IL, 62220 (618)2330123. TheMansion House Hotel stood on the same site as the Lincoln Theatre. http://www.lincolntheatre-belleville.com/TheatreHistory.htm

Lincoln Theatre 103 E. Main St., Belleville IL, 62220 Opened on October 6, 1921 with four acts of vaudeville and a silent movie, “The Old Nest”, the Lincoln Theatre soon became the premier theatre in all of southern Illinois. The original admission for adults was 27¢ for the balcony and 36¢ for the main floor. On January 10, 1922, the St. Clair County Historical Society presented a bronze plaque to be placed on the theatre building commemorating Charles Dickens’ stay at the Mansion House Hotel. The Mansion House Hotel stood on the same site as the Lincoln Theatre. The Picture to the right is of the Lincoln from the late 1920's. Photo from the late 1920's Many great stars have appeared at the Lincoln including a young Ginger Rogers in November of 1926. About the same time, a fresh, new comedy act called the Three Nightingales, who later changed their name to the Marx Brothers, appeared in this theatre. On Thursday nights, amateurs from the audience could perform on stage. In 1927, a Wurlitzer organ was purchased for $30,000 and installed to replace the orchestra. This instrument was called a Unit Orchestra since it allowed full accompaniment to silent films while only having to pay one musician. Vin James, who was once the orchestra conductor, was hired as the regular organist. “Four Sons”, the last silent film at the Lincoln, played on March 13, 1929 and the organ was soon to be silenced on August 2, 1929, due to the popularity of the new talkie movies. It was then completely removed at a later date. In the 1950’s Cinemascope arrived at the Lincoln and the lower part of the chandelier had to be removed because it caused a shadow on the new movie screen. The first Cinemascope picture to play the Lincoln was “The Robe”.

The author argues that the professional and personal history of the Victorian actress was largely defined by her negotiation with the sculptural metaphor, and that this was authorised and determined by the Ovidian myth of Pygmalion and Galatea. THE AMBIVALENCES OF MEDIEVAL RELIGIOUS DRAMA. Rainer Warning. HB Internationally famous for launching the careers of Laurence Olivier, Ralph Richardson, Paul Scofield and Peter Brook, the Birmingham Rep has been one of the most consistently innovative and important of the English regional producing theatres since its foundation. In 1913. Covering the past forty years, the author tells the often turbulent, sometimes controversial story of how a major company with a great past sought to create exciting contemporary theatre for an increasingly demanding and multicultural audience. ISBN 9545719 8 Despite poor beginnings and near illiteracy, Sam Shubert (1875-1905) and his brother Lee (1873-1953) and J.J. (1878-1963) created a theatre monopoly unrivalled in history. They attracted the most sought-after stars of day, including Al Jolson, Carmen Miranda, Fanny Brice, Mae West, and Fred Astaire. Today their many theatre, including the Majestic, the Booth, and the Shubert, are Broadway landmarks. ISBN 8154 1103

Jose Lobero's Opera House - 1873 On Washington's Birthday, 1873, Jose Lobero (born "Giuseppe" in Genoa, Italy) realized his dream by opening California's only opera house south of San Francisco. Combining his vision, the influence of his in-laws, the prestigious Cota Family, and a $25,000 loan from William Welles Hollister, Lobero purchased the old wooden schoolhouse at Canon Perdido and Anacapa streets and added what was then the largest adobe building in California. The theatre featured a suspended horseshoe balcony and could seat 1,300. The original Lobero saw hundreds of performances and established itself as the cultural heart of Santa Barbara.

An Early Modern English Theatre-History Terminology VERSION 1.0 Ian Lancashire University of Toronto Seminar: Theater History on the Web Shakespeare Association of America San Francisco March 1999 Introduction Index of Word Entries Word-entry Index by Dictionary Index of Theatre-history Words in Headword Explanations ... Select Bibliography Introduction Word-entries from monolingual hard-word glossaries and bilingual dictionaries in Renaissance England give first-hand testimony from Shakespeare's contemporaries about how he and others at that time used theatrical terms: for this reason these entries contribute to theatre history. A few record performance (e.g., Thomas Blount's "Salmacidan"), but most give insight into the working language and thought of theatre in the Early Modern English period. Educated in the Stratford-upon-Avon grammar school, Shakespeare would have known many Latin terms in this database from his teachers Simon Hunt and Thomas Jenkins because the Stratford grammar school had a copy of Thomas Cooper's Latin-English lexicon of 1565, Thesaurus Linguae Romanae et Britannicae , which draws on Sir Thomas Elyot's first such dictionary for Henry VIII in 1538 and contributes to many dictionaries published later.

historical notes During the 1950's in New York, The Living Theatre pioneered the unconventional staging of poetic drama - the plays of American writers like Gertrude Stein, William Carlos Williams, Paul Goodman, Kenneth Rexroth and John Ashbery, as well as European writers rarely produced in America, including Cocteau, Lorca, Brecht and Pirandello. Best remembered among these productions, which marked the start of the Off-Broadway movement, were Doctor Faustus Lights the Lights Many Loves The Connection and The Brig The difficulty of operating a unique, experimental enterprise within a cultural establishment ill-equipped to accept it led to the closing by the authorities of all The Living Theatre's New York venues: the Cherry Lane Theater (closed by the Fire Department in 1953), The Living Theatre Studio on Broadway at 100th Street (closed by the Buildings Department in 1956), The Living Theatre on 14th Street (closed by the I.R.S. in 1963), and decades later, The Living Theatre on Third Street (closed by the Buildings Department in 1992). During the 1960's, the company began a new life as a nomadic touring ensemble. In Europe, they evolved into a collective, living and working together toward the creation of a new form of nonfictional acting based on the actor's political and physical commitment to using the theater as a medium for furthering social change. The landmark achievements of this period include

Page 1 of 1 In the world of sterile, cookie-cutter multiplex theatres it's refreshing to find a company that cares about the past. A company that understands the importance of history and preserving our landmarks. A company that looks at the moviegoing experience as more than just ticket sales but as an experience to be remembered and treasured. At Classic Cinemas, we are that company. Our theatres occupy historical buildings throughout the Chicago area. When these buildings were acquired by Classic Cinemas many were in states of disrepair. We've spent countless hours restoring them to their original splendor, often preserving as much of the original architecture as possible. The result are unique movie theatres unlike any you will find. Theatres that echo of the golden age of moviegoing and invoke memories of days gone past. But don't let the package fool you. All of our theatres are equipped with the very latest in sound and projection technology. The result is comfortable, modern moviegoing experience that is truly unique.

73. Music Box History The Music Box theatre s history is similar to that of other neighborhood movie theatersthroughout the city of Chicago with the exception that it was the first http://www.musicboxtheatre.com/History.html

History Page A short history to frequently asked questions. The Music Box Theatre' s history is similar to that of other neighborhood movie theaters throughout the city of Chicago with the exception that it was the first small interpretation of a "Movie Palace". It opened on August 22, 1929 as an elaborate little brother to the giant downtown film/presentation houses. It featured second-run films after they left the downtown for the neighborhood circuits. In its declining years, it slipped into a sleazy $1.50 grind house policy showing last years films. The last "Hollywood" film to play here was "The Exorcist" in the fall of 1977. Architect's rendering from the original blue prints published in Theatre Architecture Magazine, August 1929 THE BUILDING return to top of page go to site map INNOVATION At a time when the Movie Palaces in Chicago had seating capacities around 3000 people, the 800 seat Music Box was a tiny theater to be built with such ornamental detail. (Surrounding the Music Box were The Century Theater - seating capacity:2400, The Belmont Theater - seating capacity 2400, The Uptown Theater - seating capacity 4800, as well as The Riviera and the Covent Garden Theaters.) The Theatre Architecture Magazine article of 1929 also notes that The Music Box "represents the smaller, though charming and well equipped, sound picture theatre which is rapidly taking the place of the 'deluxe' palace in the larger proportion of theatre construction activity."

The Empire Theatre - The History This theatre opened in 1925, on a site which had housed a theatre since 1866. The Empire Theatre opened on the 9th March 1925, with the opening production of ' Better Days ', starring Stanley Lupino, Maisie Gay and Ruth French. However, another theatre once stood on the present site, The New Prince of Wales Theatre and Opera House which opened on the 15th October 1866. At the time it was Liverpool’s largest theatre, but it was only about three-quarters of the size of the existing Empire. On July 29th 1867 its name changed to the Royal Alexandra Theatre and Opera House to honour the Princess of Wales. After closing in 1894 the theatre opened in 1895 under the ownership of Empire Theatre (Liverpool) Ltd, although it still remained Alexandra. In 1886 the theatre changed its name to the Empire after it was sold to Messrs. Moss and Thornton for £30,000. It opened on the 19th December 1896, with Oscar Barrett’s famous pantomime Cinderella.
