‎Tempo Playhouse Playbill Stein Gertrude and Jean Genet‎

‎Julie Bovasso and Cletus L. Gundy Present a Tempo Playhouse Production: Gertrude Stein's "The 13th of March": Selections From the First Reader and Jean Genet's "The Maids."‎

‎Tempo Playhouse Playbill Stein Gertrude and Jean Genet. <b>Julie Bovasso and Cletus L. Gundy Present a Tempo Playhouse Production: Gertrude Stein's "The 13th of March": Selections From the First Reader and Jean Genet's "The Maids." </b>New York: Tempo Playhouse 1955. <br /><br />Octavo 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches; 215 x 140 mm 8 pages in stapled wrappers. <br /><br />A rare playbill for the first plays presented by Julie Bovasso's Tempo Playhouse in New York: Gertrude Stein's "The 13th of March: Selections From the First Reader" and Jean Genet's "The Maids." In fact this was the first production of "The Maids" in the United States. Both plays were directed by Strowan Robertson with sets and costumes by Lester Hackett. <br /><br />The 24-year-old Bovasso founded the theatre with $250 from the sale of a painting by her husband George Ortman. She rented an apartment at 4 St. Mark's Place in the East Village and built a small stage and a box office. See Stephen J. Bottoms "<i>Playing Underground: A Critical History of the 1960s Off-Off-Broadway Movement"</i> pages 37-38. <br /><br />The playbill doesn't give the opening date but a small item in The New York Times of March 10 1955 states the opening would take place on Saturday March 12. The Times also placed the location of the opening at Steyer Hall Playhouse 184 Eldridge Street which must have been a temporary venue.<br /><br />Bovasso played the role of Claire in "The Maids" which ran until mid-July 1955. The following year the Village Voice initiated the Obie Awards for Off-Broadway. Bovasso won the first Obie for Best Actress and Tempo Playhouse received a special citation that year.<br /><br />Bovasso's co-stars in "The Maids" were Joyce Henry as Solange and Fran Malis as Madame. Being the versatile actress that she was Bovasso also apparently played Solange at times.<br /><br />For the Stein production -- which was actually two plays: "In a Garden" and "Three Sisters Who Are Not Sisters" -- the actors were Herbert King Philip Stanley Pitts Kit Raccoon Nancy Ponder Lucy Willow Anne Edwards Helen and Marcia Pavia Ellen.<br /><br />Just like playbills for the Living Theatre the Tempo playbill lists paintings and sculptures for sale at the theatre. Painters include Joan Mitchell Perle Fine Lois Dodd Angelo Ippolito Michael Goldberg Margaret Barlett George Ortman and Miles Forst and the sculptors Marisol Escobar and William King. <br /><br />This playbill is rare. OCLC shows no institutional holdings although a separate search turns up a copy at the University of Florida. <b>RARE</b>. <br /><br />CONDITION: Some creases and folds but clean and unmarked. A Very Good or better copy. Tempo Playhouse books‎

Engraved bookplate showing a shield (Arms Barry of six Supporters); two unicorns; ermine Coronet of an Earl ; and the Motto A MA PUISSANCE. This is likely the plate of Charles Grey, 2nd Earl Grey (1764-1845) Whig Prime Minister of Great Britain (1830-1834). There is also a manuscript inscription: "With B. Drury's Best Wishes, Eton, March 20 , 1820." John Baskerville (1706-1775) was the greatest printer of his era. Born in Wolverley, Hereford - Worcester, England, he became a writing master in Birmingham. He also carried on a successful japanning (varnishing) business there. In about 1750 he began to make experiments in letter founding, and produced the wonderful series of types now named after him. His first book, the Virgil of 1757, was also the first to be printed upon wove paper (manufactured by a process that he invented). In 1758 he be came printer to Cambridge University. All of his books bear show fine craftsmanship and a refined sense of design. In the last few years before his death, Baskerville published a few Latin classics in quarto and duodecimo.

Terence (Ca. 190-159 B.C.), the great Latin comic poet, was born in Carthage. He came to Rome as the slave of a senator, Terentius Lucanus. In the house of Lucanus he was educated like a free man and soon emancipated. His successful first play, 'Andria' introduced him to Roman society, and the circle of Scipio, Philus, and Laelius. His surviving six comedies are drawn from Athenian sources, especially from lost plays by Menander. Terence has been read for over two thousand years, and his influence on European literature cannot be overestimated. He imparted to Latin the sense of artistic elegance, consistency and moderation which made it a model for all literary epochs. In him we find a meeting-point for three great civilizations - the decaying Greece; Carthage, soon to pass away into oblivion; and nascent Italy, poised to absorb the world.

CEdit Iniquos - which seems to identify the text and/or editing as unjust, evil, and/or wicked. not too unusual for pagan works. On the front flyleaf is the 18th or 19th century autograph ownership of A. Wallis (unidentified). Publius Terentius Afer (195/185-159 BC), better known in English as Terence, was a playwright of the Roman Republic, of North African descent. His comedies were performed for the first time around 170-160 BC. Terentius Lucanus, a Roman senator, brought Terence to Rome as a slave, educated him and later on, impressed by his abilities, freed him. Terence apparently died young, probably in Greece or on his way back to Rome. He only wrote six plays. All survived, and are printed here. In this famous 1545 edition of Terence, Scoto, provided three summaries for the action of each scene by different humanist scholars of note. The innovation was immediately popular. The basic layout problem in the case of Terence was that the text consists of short scenes with much back-and-forth badinage while the apparatus was typically very lengthy. Early printers of these texts arranged the commentary for each scene all around the base text, creating a window or windows for the words of Terence. The resulting window-and-frame layouts are visually very lively, with each spread slightly different from the last, depending on the length of the commentary with respect to the text. As the sixteenth century progressed, however, it became more usual to employ a simple two-column format that placed the base text of each scene first and the commentary afterwards, alternating but running continuously from column to column. The four columns on a spread owned variety and visual interest because the text of Terence was set in larger type and more generously leaded than the commentary, but the result was rarely as handsome as the older layouts. This two-column format took over because it was much easier to set, correct, revise, and reprint than a window-and-frame. Similarly, fewer and fewer options were exercised in ornamenting and illustrating the folio text as the century wore on. Virtually the only ambitious editions from this point of view are this 1545 Scoto and the 1553 Cesano. These books preserve something of the grace of earlier folios, with scene-by-scene illustrations that characterized some folio editions in the fourteen nineties. Illustrations of individual scenes disappeared entirely after the 1555. The wonderful woodcuts are valued mainly for what they tell us of the Italian stage in the 15th and 16th century.
