Book excerpt: This is a revised edition of a work based on an investigation done in 1910 regarding the conditions of public dance halls in Chicago. Bowen's complaints included the late hours, too much liquor, and the general behavior of men noting, " ... men wear their hats; they all smoke and expectorate freely." She also suggests the waiters and other employees provide information on the location of "disreputable lodging houses," and she delivers condemnation against masquerade and fancy dress balls because many women were found "attending in male attire."

Download or read book Public Dance Halls written by Ella Gardner and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-19 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Public Dance Halls: Their Regulation and Place in the Recreation of Adolescents Regulations in respect to the age of persons admitted to public dances and public dance halls have been adopted by 142 of the cities reporting to the Children's Bureau. Seventeen cities prohibit the admission of those under a stipulated age, although 7 of these apply only after 9 p. M.; 83 prohibit persons under stated ages attending dance halls unaccompanied; 1 prohibits the attendance of those under 16 and requires persons 16 and 17 to be accompanied; and 41 require persons under a certain age to be accompanied after a specified hour. The regulations requiring that persons under a given age be aecom panied generally specify the parent or guardian, but the various ordinances differ slightly in this respect. In'certain localities it is sufficient if the minor is with an escort or older person; in others it is necessary that the parent or guardian give written consent to the attendance of the minor with his particular companion. A few cities make a distinction in the minimum age of attendance for girls and for boys. The age restrictions apply to admission or attendance at the dancing place or the dance, whichever is covered by the ordinance, but no distinction between these has been made in this section. State laws relating to minimum age of persons attending, or taking part in public dances affect 165 cities not included in the preceding summary - 16 in Connecticut, 36 in Massachusetts, 2 in Minnesota, 33 in New York, 1 in North Dakota, 21 in Ohio, 22 in Pennsylvania, 6 in Rhode Island, and 28 in New Jersey. Under 21 years - According to data at hand no city ordinance specifically prohibits all persons under 21 years from attending or taking part in public dancing. Walla Walla, Wash, however, makes it unlawful for boys under 21 years to attend or be present at a public dance unless accompanied by parent or legal guardian. Denver, Colo., requires a keeper or proprietor of a public dance hall'to keep a register containing the name and address of every person actually or apparently under 21 years who attends, the date of such attend ance, and the name and address of the male escort of all females under 21 years admitted. The inspector of amusements may require such persons to Sign their names and addresses in the register before being permitted to enter the dance hall.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Photographic Diagrams: Description and Location of the Theaters and Halls of Chicago Chicago Theatre-goers have long felt the want of a complete, perfect and conveniently arranged collection of the diagrams of their magnificent Theatres and Halls. It is to meet that want, and, we hope, to satisfy it, that this little work is published. Of course the great desideratum was to secure correctness and plainness. This we claim to have obtained. The original diagrams were reduced by the Art of Photography to an uniform and convenient size, and then by a special new process, transferred to the Lithographic stone. By this method we present the greatest possible distinctness and clearness, and Perfect Fac-simile. Great credit is due to the artists, who, out of a number of competitors, were the only ones to successfully perform the delicate and difficult work. We refer to Shaw, the Photographer, and to Messrs. Schober & Co., proprietors of the Chicago Lithographing Co. This edition, we are sorry to say, is limited to a small number of copies. It was the original intention to publish it by subscription only, but orders came in from the leading booksellers and Hotel news-stands so fast that we decided to place it on sale only with them. Having met with such a decidedly kind reception, even before an entire proof could be shown, we are enabled to promise a revised edition each year at the commencement of the theatrical season.

Download or read book Jazz in Print (1859-1929) written by Karl Koenig and published by Pendragon Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 624 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This anthology was compiled to aid the scholar working on the origins and evolution of jazz. Covering materials published through 1929, it also begins with article from 1859 which do not concern jazz directly, but will serve to present a solid foundation for understanding the American music scene from which jazz developed. Chronologically listed and well-indexed, the hundreds of articles comprise, in effect, a history of jazz as it evolved. Beginning with accounts of Negro music in the pre-jazz era, continuing in an exploration of spirituals, followed by a description of ragtime, we finally learn about the development of jazz from its practitioners and informed audiences of the time.

Download or read book Modern Moves written by Danielle Robinson and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2015-06-26 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern Moves traces the movement of American social dance styles between black and white cultural groups and between immigrant and migrant communities during the early twentieth century. Its central focus is New York City, where the confluence of two key demographic streams - an influx of immigrants from Eastern Europe and the growth of the city's African American community particularly as it centered Harlem - created the conditions of possibility for hybrid dance forms like blues, ragtime, ballroom, and jazz dancing. Author Danielle Robinson illustrates how each of these forms came about as the result of the co-mingling of dance traditions from different cultural and racial backgrounds in the same urban social spaces. The results of these cross-cultural collisions in New York City, as she argues, were far greater than passing dance trends; they in fact laid the foundation for the twentieth century's social dancing practices throughout the United States. By looking at dance as social practice across conventional genre and race lines, this book demonstrates that modern social dancing, like Western modernity itself, was dependent on the cultural production and labor of African diasporic peoples -- even as they were excluded from its rewards. A cornerstone in Robinson's argument is the changing role of the dance instructor, which was transformed from the proprietor of a small-scale, local dance school at the end of the nineteenth century to a member of a distinct, self-identified social industry at the beginning of the twentieth. Whereas dance studies has been slow to connect early twentieth century dancing with period racial politics, Modern Moves departs radically from prior scholarship on the topic, and in so doing, revises social and African American dance history of this period. Recognizing the rac(ial)ist beginnings of contemporary American social dancing, it offers a window into the ways that dancing throughout the twentieth century has provided a key means through which diverse groups of people have navigated shifting socio-political relations through their bodily movement. Modern Moves asserts that the social practice of modern dancing, with its perceived black origins, empowered displaced people such as migrants and immigrants to grapple with the effects of industrialization, urbanization, and the rise of North American modernity. Far more than simple appropriation, the selling and practicing of "black" dances during the 1910s and 1920s reinforced whiteness as the ideal racial status in America through embodied and rhetorical engagements with period black stereotypes.

Download or read book The Reportage of Urban Culture written by Rolf Lindner and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1996-07-11 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current fascination with urban life has encouraged a growing interest in the 'Chicago School' of sociology by students of sociological history. It is generally accepted that the field research practised by the Chicago sociologists during the 1920s - the 'Golden Age of Chicago sociology' - used methods borrowed from anthropology. However, Rolf Lindner also argues convincingly that the orientation of urban research advocated by Robert Park, the key figure in the Chicago School and himself a former reporter, is ultimately indebted to the tradition of urban reportage. The Reportage of Urban Culture goes beyond a thorough reconstruction of the relationship between journalism and sociology. It shows how the figure of the city reporter at the turn of the century represents a new way of looking at life, and reflects a transformation in American culture, from rejecting variety to embracing it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the Silent Era, film reissues were a battle between rival studios--every Mary Pickford new release in 1914 was met with a Pickford re-release. For 50 years after the Silent Era, reissues were a battle between the studios, who considered old movies "found money," and cinema owners, who often saw audiences reject former box office hits. In the mid-1960s, the return of The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957)--the second biggest reissue of all time--altered industry perceptions, and James Bond double features pushed the revival market to new heights. In the digital age, reissues have continued to confound the critics. This is the untold hundred-year story of how old movies saved new Hollywood. Covering the booms and busts of a recycling business that became its own industry, the author describes how the likes of Charlie Chaplin, Humphrey Bogart and Alfred Hitchcock won over new generations of audiences, and explores the lasting appeal of films like Napoleon (1927), Gone with the Wind (1939), The Rocky Horror Show (1975) and Blade Runner (1982).
