Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Contemporary Drama of France This volume Offers a survey and an interpretation of the French drama for three decades, fromothe opening of the theatre-libre Of Antoine to the conclusion Of the World War. It attempts the classification, analysis, and criti cism of a thousand plays by two hundred and thirty authors. Among these are included a few Belgians whose pieces, written in French, have been as familiar to Paris as to Brussels. Although the productions of the period be less striking than those of the Romantic era, and less likely than those of the Classic to endure, they are more numerous and more vitally interesting to the generation whose failures, foibles, and aspirations they depict.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shadows of Old Paris To most Anglo-Saxons and Americans, Paris of the Twentieth Century is almost as familiar as their native cities. Its crowded Boulevards, brilliant cafes, theatres, and shops are the playground of hundreds of thousands of English-speaking tourists, whose yearly trip to the "Gay City" is a regular chapter in the programme of diversion. Though every man is not a Frenchman, each may become, to a certain extent, a Parisian; for the asphalt is hospitable to all nationalities alike, if they will but bring with them a capacity for enjoyment and the wherewithal to pay for it liberally. Yet, amongst the crowds of idlers and pleasure-seekers, of students even, who make the French capital temporarily their home, there are few lovers of tradition curious enough to turn from the dazzling modern city of pleasure, and plunge into the dingy Paris of the past, itself a town within a town, rapidly being swallowed up by the hydra-headed demon of improvement, with its insatiable appetite and power of destruction. Along the quays, some of the older houses yet remain; in the streets adjoining, slumbering amid gardens, lie the stately homes of the nobility, a few still occupied by the great families who have inhabited them for generations. But they are fast disappearing, and many have fallen from their high estate to serve as warehouses, or for commercial purposes, or, even, as tenements for the poorest classes of artisans and workmen. Here and there, in the narrow streets of a sordid quarter, mouldy with grime and dampness, a proud frontage will rear its graceful proportions, keeping, though in dilapidated surroundings, its birthright of dignity and beauty.

Download or read book Romances of the French Theatre (Classic Reprint) written by Francis Gribble and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-08-01 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Romances of the French Theatre This book is not intended as - and is unlikely to be mistaken for - a philosophical disquisition on the aesthetics of the stage. Its purpose is chie y to tell stories; but to tell them without suppressing the material facts necessary to a sound judgment of the rights of the case and a well-informed criticism of certain aspects of life. It ought, of course, to be super uous for a bio grapher to justify himself for telling the truth; but, as a matter of fact, biographers are continually getting into trouble with critics of a certain school of thought for doing so. They alone among men of letters are sometimes reproached for refusing to deceive their readers. Historians, for instance, are expected not only to tell the truth if they happen to know it, but also to take a great deal of trouble to ascertain it. They can burrow in archives with impunity, and in full confidence that they will be commended for their industry and not accused of grubbing up Old scandals, or told that, when they make unpleasant discoveries, they ought to keep their knowledge to themselves.

For a period of fifty years Dion Boucicault stood prominent in the world of the stage. He fed half the theatres of London and New York with the products of his pen. He utilized everything he read in novels, and adapted everything he saw in the Paris theatres. His enormous capacity for work equalled his superabundant activity. His gift of discerning what the public wanted was matched by his inexhaustible facility in supplying that want.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Play Production in America Upon the title-page I have placed a quotation from John Philip Sousa's speech on subsidy, published some years ago in the Paris Herald. This is to remind a reading public, that has lately been presented with a number of excellent works dealing almost exclusively with the theaters of Eu rope, that American playhouses also have made decided advance, although, perhaps, along different lines. But while this book is essentially American, it is presented, in this connection, mainly to remark America's contribution to international development. I cannot reiterate too often that there cannot be a protective tariff placed around art. Any thing worth while that this country is doing in the theater belongs to the world.

Book Synopsis One Act Plays (Classic Reprint) by : Helen Louise Cohen
Download or read book One Act Plays (Classic Reprint) written by Helen Louise Cohen and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-05-05 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from One Act Plays The one-act play is a new form of the drama and more emphatically a new form of literature. Its possibilities began to attract the attention of European and American writers in the last decade of the nineteenth century, those years when so many dramatic traditions lapsed and so many precedents were established. It is significant that the Oldest play in the present collection is Maeterlinck's The Intruder, published in 1890. The history of this new form is of necessity brief. Before its vogue became general, one-act plays were being presented 'in vaudeville houses in this country and were being used as curtain raisers in London theatres for the purpose of marking time until the late-dining audiences should arrive. With the exception of the famous Grand Guignol Theatre in Paris, where the entertainment for an evening might consist of sev eral one-act plays, all of the hair-raising, blood-curdling variety, programs composed entirely of one-act plays were rare. Sir James Matthew Barrie is usually credited with being the first in England to write one-act plays intended to be grouped in a single production. A program of this character has been un common in the commercial theatre in America, but three of Barrie's one-act plays, constituting a single program, have met with enthusiastic response from American audiences. There are two new developments in the history of the theatre that have encouraged and promoted the writing of one act plays: the one is the Repertory Theatre abroad and the other is the Little Theatre movement on both sides of the At lantic. The repertory of the Irish Players, for example, is composed largely of one-act plays, and American Little Theatres are given over almost exclusively to the one-act play.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Another Book on the Theatre The ambition to become a dramatic critic assails probably nine city boy-children out of ten in that epoch which lies between their ambition to become President of the United States (an ambition rejected not later than the age of eleven by all better-class youngsters) and the somewhat loftier subsequent ambition to marry Gaby Deslys. This ambition to grow up to be a professional remarker on the theatre is variously inculcated in youths. In the first place, they have at a very early age read the critical works of Mr. William Winter. A careful perusal of these standard critical works has convinced them that dramatic criticism is the pastime of taking luncheon with beautiful and prominent Shakespearean actresses. In the second place, they have read in the Sunday newspaper supplements many interviews by the dramatic critic of the paper in which that bored bird has recited the manner in which superb actresses have received him in their lacy peignoirs.
