    Extractions: Jon Pertwee, actor, died yesterday aged 76. He was born on July 7, 1919. JON PERTWEE was the third actor to play the title role in Dr Who for television. He took over from Patrick Troughton in the seventh season of the series in 1970, and remained with it for five years, before cosmetically "regenerating", before the eyes of horrified children, into a new Doctor played by Tom Baker. Pertwee's five-year stint as the Doctor encompassed some radical changes to the BBC children's programme. Instead of the Tardis (an acronym for Time and Relative Dimensions in Space), Unit HQ became the Doctor's new base of operations, and a team of Unit personnel, led by Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart, joined the Doctor's regular team of daring female companions. Despite the new family, the onus for making the programme work rested as firmly as ever on the shoulders of the Doctor. Pertwee took a risk on playing him as a camp, charismatic scientist, respendently dressed for time travel in a velvet smoking jacket, ruffled shirt and red satin lined cape. Although Pertwee was quick to acknowledge the blessing which Dr Who and later TV's Worzel Gummidge had bestowed upon his career, he had mixed feelings about being forever manacled, in the public imagination, to children's television. He had also done excellent work in radio, theatre, vaudeville, cabaret. He had appeared in 120 films and was doing an energetic one-man show in his mid-seventies. But, while he had enjoyed a comfortable, profitable career, and was rarely out of work, there was also something rather chaotic about his curriculum vitae. It lacked the sort of single-minded focus which propels less talented individuals to greater heights.

One nation, one flag, united we stand. God bless America!" Radio was not, though, to contain the ambitious young man for long. Television, the "new" medium, soon beckoned and he realized that the small screen might hold the only opportunity to create the shows he had dreamed about as a child. “Henny Youngman said that when vaudeville died, television was the box they buried it in,” he remembers. “I came along at the very end of the great art of vaudeville and, fortunately, was able to see so many of the great vaudeville acts. These performers have always touched my heart and it was my intention to somehow carry on this wonderful heritage."

67. About The Arcada - The Arcada Theatre - St. Charles, Illinois
    Of course, they went on to radio and films, but it was at our theatre that theyended their vaudeville careers, said the late Dellora Norris, wife of Lester  
    http://www.arcadatheater.com/about.htm
    
    Extractions: "In the Arcada is to be found every element of that condition best expressed by the word 'cozy.' In it is to be found also a grandeur seldom approached - a grandeur wrought of simplicity and good taste in architectural treatment and ornamentation that is at once obvious and appreciated." So quotes Better Theatres in a review written one month after the September 6, 1926 grand opening of the Arcada Theatre. At the Labor Day opening the St. Charles Chronicle reported, "the public came in such large numbers that hundreds were unable to gain entrance." Chicagoans arrived by a special railway car to see the featured film The Last Frontier and the vaudeville acts of the Jordans, better known as Fibber McGee and Molly. Lora Marie Harrington and her Gypsy Wayfarers were also on the bill along with False Alarm, an Our Gang comedy. Patrons also heard a recital on the famous $25,000 Marr and Colton silver and red organ, which was adorned with carved flamingoes. Through the old Mission windows on each side of the auditorium the bells swung while chimes rang out their golden tunes. The Arcada (Spanish for arcade) was built by local millionaire Lester J. Norris from plans prepared by architect Elmer F. Behrns. The new theatre was a $500,000 example of Norris' confidence in the future of St. Charles. "Theatre builders will come from all over the United States to see this theatre before starting projects," Illinois Chamber head Lester Colby quoted an "expert in theatre design" as saying, "The St. Charles Chronicle stated in 1926, "There may be larger theatres in Chicago, but for beauty of auditorium and artistic stage setting, there are none superior to the Arcada of St. Charles." In 1926 the Arcada Theatre had 1,009 seats, and St. Charles had a population of about 5,000."

    http://www.um.dk/english/danmark/danmarksbog/kap4/4-8.asp
    
    Extractions: As in the surrounding countries, pre-Christian rituals in Denmark presumably contained elements of acting, but nothing is known with certainty. Nor are there any written sources for mediaeval liturgical drama in the church, although murals and extant props point to the existence of such drama. The most elaborate Scandinavian hagiographic miracle play, on the subject of "Saint Knud Lavard", (Ludus de Sancto Kanuto Duce), was probably performed in the market square in Ringsted. It is known in a version from about 1500, but may well be based on earlier models. School Drama [top] There was school drama even in late Catholic times, but it was the Protestant school drama that came to constitute a significant movement of cultural policy in the market towns. The kings, too, were happy to be entertained by school drama with its biblical, moralising and satirical subjects. The texts were often translated from Latin and German, but a native Danish drama established itself with the Viborg clergyman Hieronymus Justesen Ranch as its most original talent. His Karrig Nidding (Nithing the Niggard) from about 1600 is a proper character comedy with traces of old carnival farce. However, at the beginning of the 17th century the church's views on the theatre changed in the wake of the Lutheran orthodoxy that was now the order of the day. It was argued that the theatre led people into sin and vice.

    Extractions: Light entertainment popular in the United States from the mid-1890s until the early 1930s that consisted of 10 to 15 individual unrelated acts, featuring magicians, acrobats, comedians, trained animals, jugglers, singers, and dancers. It is the counterpart of the music hall and variety in England. The term is probably a corruption of vaux-de-vire, satirical songs in couplets, sung to popular airs in the 15th century in the Val-de-Vire (Vau-de-Vire), Normandy, France. It passed into theatrical usage in the early 18th century to describe a device employed by professional actors to circumvent the dramatic monopoly held by the Comédie-Française. Forbidden to perform legitimate drama, they presented their plays in pantomime, interpreting the action with lyrics and choruses set to popular tunes. It eventually developed into a form of light musical drama, with spoken dialogue interspersed with songs, that was popular throughout Europe.

Balance Home A Brief History of Radio Drama in America (an excerpt from Theatre of the Mind , Writing and Producing Radio Drama in the Classroom) Radio drama is over 70 years old, and, for all serious purposes, has been dead for 50 of those years, being used only occasionally in the classroom as a novelty or curiosity. During the middle to late 1940's, radio drama reached its peak, then, with the advent and expansion of television, it quickly faded into history. Before the 1920's formal radio programs were unknown.

    Extractions: Staff Writer New Smyrna Beach, Feb 23, 2001 Make sure you go see "The 1940s Radio Hour," which opened last weekend at the Little Theatre of New Smyrna Beach. It is a delightful production. This toe-tapping musical by Walton Jones is a behind-the-scenes look at a live broadcast of Radio Station WOV's "The Mutual Manhattan Variety Cavalcade" from the Hotel Astor's Algonquin Room in New York City on Dec. 21, 1942. Because it is a live radio simulation, there is no intermission during the performance, but believe me, you won't miss it. This talented ensemble cast does a terrific job creating the spirit of that by-gone era when the world was at war, and songs such as "Boogie-Woogie Bugle Boy" and "I'll Be Seeing You" were popular. The production opens with "Pops Bailey," played by Stan Sanders, sleeping at his desk. He does a great job as the crusty, crotchety stage doorman, who is a bookie on the side.

As a young man, Del toured the vaudeville circuit as a magician, and was the featured act with Buddy B's Tassel Revue (which is where he met his wife, Ivy Crockett). After an unfortunate experience with George Burns (which we can not get into for legal reasons), Del and Ivy moved to Los Angeles, where he found work as a radio actor. His memorable characters include: Sherman Shutupp on The Kooky Kavan Show and Warren Tracy on Warren Tracy-Private Dic .

Green Vice President, Studio Communications NICK STEWART, VOICE OF BRER BEAR, DIES AT 90 Founded Ebony Showcase Theater in Los Angeles Nick “Nicodemus” Stewart, who provided the voice for the bulky Brer Bear in Walt Disney’s classic, “Song of the South,” passed away at the home of his son on Monday, December 18. He was 90 years old. In addition to his role as a veteran vaudevillian, composer, producer, director, Stewart also founded the Ebony Showcase in Los Angeles. “Nick was a show business legend who made his mark in virtually every area of the entertainment spectrum from vaudeville and radio to motion pictures and television,” said Roy E. Disney, vice chairman of The Walt Disney Company. “As the voice of Brer Bear, he lent his vocal skills to creating one of Disney’s most memorable characters and a screen personality that was larger than life. In addition to his achievements as an actor and his important contribution here at Disney, Nick was a very passionate and caring individual who created a landmark Los Angeles theater and provided young people with a unique opportunity to participate in the theater and learn other related crafts. He will be greatly missed.”

    http://www.jeffnet.org/cascadetheatre/
    
    Extractions: Click for enlarged view The Cascade Theatre was constructed in downtown Redding in 1935 as a 1,348-seat movie palace and vaudeville stage. Like many theatres of its era it was an architectural gem, complete with gold and silver gilded walls, ornate plasterwork, a magnificent neon marquee and intricate decorative painting. For six decades, the Cascade Theatre was a magnet to Redding’s downtown, drawing people in to see vaudeville acts, traveling theatrical productions, music performances and film presentations. Local businesses thrived, restaurants had a stream of customers, and downtown Redding was a center for culture and commerce. And the community had a place to call its own, for concerts, recitals and civic ceremonies – the Cascade was the heart of downtown Redding. But like many downtown theatres of its era, the Cascade struggled with the rise of shopping mall multiplex movie theatres and ceased operating in 1997. Click for enlarged view Now there’s a revival going on in Redding to bring the Cascade Theatre back to life! With the help of the community, the theatre will be restored into a multi-use performing arts venue for north state residents. Financed through a combination of private and public funding, the Cascade Theatre Restoration Project is targeted for completion by fall of 2001.
