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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Peeps at Great Cities: Paris Paris does not set itself to imitate other cities. It has its own manners and customs, its own ways of doing things, and you must take it as it is. If youfind some inconveniences, you will put up with them for the sake of all else that Paris gives you - its beau tiful streets and gardens, its museums, its art galleries, its theatres, and amusements. Paris is one of the richest cities in the world, and its wealth is added to constantly by the numbers who come here on business or pleasure. It is the visitor who supports very largely the commerce of the city. Fortunes are spent here yearly in clothes alone, for Paris has always been the centre of the world's fashions. From all over the globe people who have money to Spend come to Paris to spend it. In a sense it is the playground of other nations, for in no other city is the pleasure - seeker so catered for at every turn. To pass along the Grand Boulevard of an evening, at an hour when the audiences are dispersing from the theatres, and every cafe and restaurant is a blaze of lights, one might well imagine that the majority of people here had no other aim than to amuse them selves. Gaiety is in the very air of Paris, and relaxa tion, after the day's business is over, is an actual necessity to countless hundreds. Nowhere else do people work so hard or enjoy themselves so whole heartedly. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Synopsis Shadows of Old Paris (Classic Reprint) by : G. Duval
Download or read book Shadows of Old Paris (Classic Reprint) written by G. Duval and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-19 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Book Synopsis Romances of the French Theatre (Classic Reprint) by : Francis Gribble
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.

Repeated transformation of the aspect of Paris, and the bewildering frequency of changes in the names of the streets, it has been thought best to adhere 111 the main to that broad topographical division of the city for which the Seine is responsible.

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.

Download or read book Little Theater Classics, Vol. 2 (Classic Reprint) written by Samuel Atkins Eliot and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Little Theater Classics, Vol. 2 With the return of peace and resumption of normal activities, the Little Theater Movement visibly revives and flourishes. It is less esoteric, more communal than it used to be. The Community Houses which will probably be erected everywhere in fitting memorial for those who died for democracy will normally include a stage: the theater has attained that degree of recognition in America. The art of the theater, though it still cannot be fostered and enjoyed on a profitable basis save when by a stroke of luck a play like Ervine's John Ferguson produced by the New York Theater Guild in May, 1919, meets unexpected, widespread public favor, yet finds ever-increasing interest and support. Not even in War's darkest days was its growth wholly checked; the Detroit Arts and Crafts Theater, the Provincetown Players in New York and Copeau's Theatre du Vieux Colombier, now lost to us once more in Paris, continued to pioneer and unfold new possibilities of drama and stagecraft. A yet more fervent discipleship among all who care for Art itself may be expected now, and consequently a more rapid, venturesome, and financially sustained progress should mark the next few years than signalized the movement's infancy in 1911-1918. Three of the plays in this second volume of our series were produced before the eclipse of 1918, - two of them in a good many little Theaters.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annals of the French Stage, Vol. 1 of 2: From Its Origin to the Death of Racine; 789-1667 To go over new ground. Notwithstanding the light recently thrown in France upon the development of her old literature, especially that of the Middle Ages, no English writer has thought fit to illustrate, at least upon anything like a comprehensive scale, the rise and progress of the theatre in Paris. In the present work an attempt is made to partly redeem that deficiency, and a want of all the leisure needed for the task has not prevented the author from carefully verifying his statements, from inquiring into opinions of question able soundness, and from studying for himself the important plays which he has ventured to criticize.
