Contact Us History The grandeur of The Chicago Theatre often leaves its visitors breathless.  The elegant lobby, majestic staircase and beautiful auditorium, complete with murals above the stage and on the ceiling, are components of an amazing building called “the Wonder Theatre of the World” when it opened on October 26, 1921. The Chicago Theatre was the first large, lavish movie palace in America and was the prototype for all others. This beautiful movie palace was constructed for $4 million by theatre owners Barney and Abe Balaban and Sam and Morris Katz and designed by Cornelius and George Rapp.  It was the flagship of the Balaban and Katz theatre chain. Built in French Baroque style, The Chicago Theatre’s exterior features a miniature replica of Paris’ Arc de Triomphe, sculpted above its State Street marquee.  Faced in a glazed, off-white terra cotta, the triumphal arch is sixty feet wide and six stories high.  Within the arch is a grand window in which is set a large circular stained-glass panel bearing the coat-of-arms of the Balaban and Katz chain – two horses holding ribbons of 35-mm film in their mouths.

The Opera House was gone, and the new rococo Saenger was a professional house. Local performers, technicians, even writers combined their efforts and for several years produced their shows at the high school. After a period of "dark years," a new group was formed. It was 1936, and in the depression recovery, the Works Progress Administration created numerous theatre companies across the country. In Pensacola, it was the Civic Drama Players, incorporated one year later as the Pensacola Little Theatre (PLT). PLT's first performances were held in the old Chamber of Commerce auditorium before moving to Pensacola High School. Rehearsals continued in the Chamber's auditorium until 1950, when the rear of the building collapsed. While Pensacola High School's stage was still home for performances, rehearsal and storage space became a problem.

The author acknowledges the invaluable assistance gained from The Story of Sadler's Wells by Dennis Arundell. Part 1 - Taking The Waters (1683-1690) Audiences in the gleaming new Sadler's Wells Theatre who slake their interval thirst with a traditional gin-and-tonic will have little idea of how beverages of varying strengths have shaped the development of this historic venue. After all, it owes its very origins to the chance discovery of a well in the garden of the Musick House built by entrepreneur Richard Sadler. In addition to his other numerous business interests, Sadler was a Surveyor of the Highways and so in the summer of 1683 he gave orders that the gravel in the garden of the Musick house should be dug up for use in road construction. This largely rural setting had been celebrated for its wells during the Middle Ages and the water was believed to possess miraculous powers of healing. The Reformation may have thought to have put a stop to such superstitions by closing down the wells but there was still a ready market for their alleged therapeutic value for late seventeenth century hypochondriacs. The canny Sadler, quick to scent a business opportunity, trumpeted his wells' amazing properties with the claim that the waters were effective against "

51. Theatre History Dr. James Hoffman s theatre history course here at the University College of the Cariboo is In order to get a decent grade on a theatre history exam, http://cariboo.tru.ca/disciplines/eng309/theatre/acetheatre.htm

How to Ace a Theatre History Exam by Jodi Schneck and Kathryn Ferguson Dr. James Hoffman's Theatre History course here at the University College of the Cariboo is both demanding and interesting. Students taking this course examine theatre genres, plays and critical theories, and then apply what they have learned through oral presentations, class discussions, essays and exams. If you are thinking about taking Dr. Hoffman's Theatre History course as an easy way to bring up your marks, you should understand that this theatre course is not as easy as you may believe it to be. While many find this course to be engaging as well as entertaining, students are expected to grapple difficult concepts that are both complex and thought provoking. The essay exam is an opportunity to show that you have both understood the concepts discussed in class and can creatively apply those concepts in new ways. Throughout the course, students are required to write roughly four of these exams, totaling approximately forty percent of their final grade. As these exams account for so much of one's grade, students should make preparing for them a central concern. As students who have taken this course ourselves, we would like to offer some suggestions to potential Theatre History students. By focusing on the essay exams given in Theatre History, we hope to give you an idea of what is expected of you for these exams, how to prepare for them, and therefore increase your ability to master this exam format. Our ultimate desire is teaching you how to ace Dr. Hoffman's exams.

Restaurants Once And Continuing Glory The Story of The Loew's Jersey Theatre O nce upon a time, the great film studios of old Hollywood built theatres the like of which no one had ever seen before. They had marble columns that soared to ceilings covered in gold leaf, bronze railings, rich red tapestries and plush carpets. And they were huge, with thousands of seats. These buildings seemed more like palaces than theatres. Not surprisingly, they came to be called Movie Palaces. In spite of their name, Movie Palaces were as much legitimate theatres as cinemas. They were equipped with full stages, orchestra pits and dressing rooms, as well as projectors. Because in that long ago time the still-new movies were presented as part of a double bill with live stage shows of elaborately choreographed dance revues or a mix of song, dance and comedy acts variety shows once known as Vaudeville. Most Movie Palaces were also fitted with massive pipe organs. Originally intended to add sound to silent films, these instruments became stars in themselves as organ concerts, as well as audience sing-alongs, became popular parts of the regular programming in many Movie Palaces.

Photo taken December 1993 at a sellout midnight showing of Wayne's World 2 Empire Theatre Grand Forks, North Dakota Text and Photos By Christopher P. Jacobs (Excerpted from a forthcoming history of movie theatres in Grand Forks) Last updated May 22, 2005 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.

Theatre History in the Nineteenth Century The first recorded theatrical performances in San Diego were in 1858 at the San Diego Mission. United States soldiers of Company D, Third Artillery, commanded by a Major Blake brought the theater to town with a season of six popular plays of the period, plus a world premiere: "The Smiths and the Browns of San Diego," a comedy set in the Franklin House in Old Town. Soldiers' wives and local women took the female parts. The organization formed by the men of Company D was called The American Dramatic Club. Between April 19 and June 2, 1858, this group produced The Lady of Lyons The Idiot Witness , and The Death of Rollo Thomas Whaley was a hard-headed New England storekeeper who brought to San Diego its first real taste of professional theatre. On November 1, 1868, he leased the second floor of his house and the use of the corral to Thomas W. Tanner for $20 in gold coin, allowing him to take down, in the second story, twelve feet of studding, commencing at the east brick wall of the house, for the purpose of making an exhibition room, and a portion of the east end railing of the balcony for the purpose of erecting stairs thereto, for theatrical productions. A stage was assembled in one end of the front bedroom of the Whaley House . Benches for 150 were crammed into the room and the Tanner Troupe presented the first professional shows in San Diego, a family singing and dancing revue. Tanner died just days after the opening and the troupe disbanded after only two performances.
