A review of the second concert in the Adelaide series appeared in the Evening Journal Adelaide on 15 April 1878: 'THE OPERA.—On Saturday night ""La Fille de Madame Angot"" was repeated at the Theatre Royal and attracted a crowded house in all parts. There was a change of cast Miss Soldene taking the part of Madame Lange instead of Clairette the ""child of the market"" which role was assumed by Miss Fischer. In each of the characters the performers achieved a decided success and were honoured with several enthusiastic recalls and liberal floral offerings. Mr. J. C. Campbell sustained the part of Ange Pitou and at the close of the opera in response to vociferous calls appeared before the curtain with Miss Soldene and Miss Fischer.' unknown‎

‎[California Theatre] Dick Stagg, JC Milligan (photographers) J C‎

‎Archive of 41 photographs relating to silent film screenings at the California Theatre 1919-1921‎

‎Los Angeles: California Theatre 1921. Archive of 41 vintage photographs of the elaborate stage sets and live performers which supported silent film screenings at the California Theatre in Los Angeles taken during the theatre's first three years in operation 1919-1921. 20 photographs with blindstamps crediting photographer Dick Stagg and 14 with blindstamps crediting photographer J.C. Milligan.<br /> <br /> Photographs housed in an album with typed labels on the versos of the adjacent pages identifying the film screening dates performers and musical numbers. <br /> <br /> The first two photographs in the archive feature a day shot and a striking night shot of the theatre's beautifully elaborate facade followed by a photograph of the "original installation" of the stage and grand staircase. The balance of the photographs however show theatre sets usually with performers present occasionally with the orchestra present and always without the audience present likely taken during rehearsals or after the completion of the set designs. <br /> <br /> The earliest dated photographs in the archive only two and a half weeks after the theatre's opening on December 24 1918 show two different sets for the screening of the 1918 film "Eye for an Eye." The last and latest photograph in the archive shows a parlor set with five costumed actors for the 1921 screening of the 1920 film "Billions." All in all 29 films are represented in the archive.<br /> <br /> Interestingly many of the screening dates of the films represented in the archive coincide with-or date earlier than-the currently believed premiere dates of the films some of which may have had their premiere at the California Theatre. <br /> <br /> Fred Miller opened the California Theatre at 810 S. Main Street in downtown Los Angeles on December 24 1918. The majestic Beaux-Arts cinema housed a capacity of 2000 and was designed by architect Alex B. Rosenthal who also designed the Granada Theatre in Santa Barbara. In 1919 the theatre was bought by Goldwyn Pictures and in 1935 operated as Teatro California often showing Spanish language films until 1983 after which it operated as a grindhouse and pornographic theater. The theater closed in 1987 and was demolished in 1990.<br /> <br /> Photographs: 8 x 10 inches. Very Good plus to Near Fine overall with some faint toning with one photograph with two vertical creases.<br /> <br /> Album: 13.75 x 10.25 inches. Very Good plus. California Theatre unknown‎

‎[PERFORMANCE] [MUSICAL THEATRE] WEILL, Kurt (music); Elmer Rice (book); Langston Hughes (lyrics)‎

‎Street Scene: an American Opera Based on Elmer Rice's Play‎

‎New York: Chappell & Co. Inc 1948. First Edition. First printing. Inscribed on title page: "For Joe Littau a merry Christmas and thanks for a beautiful job!" signed "Kurt Weill" undated but annotated in pencil presumably by Littau: "Xmas 1948." Quarto 30cm. Original buff wrappers printed in red on front cover; 274pp. Professional paper repairs at spine ends; expected tanning to exterior and text; still a superlative copy overall and quite uncommon. Housed in a custom-made cloth clamshell box. <br /> <br /> A terrific association copy of this acclaimed late work by Weill for which he won the inaugural Tony Award for Best Original Score in 1947. Street Scene is perhaps the apotheosis of Weill's socially-engaged musical theater a blend of operatic and theatrical elements with which he first experimented in his collaborations with Bertolt Brecht of the Thirties including Three Penny Opera and The Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny. Street Scene based on Elmer Rice's naturalistic working-class drama of the same name was especially noteworthy for including lyrics by the African-American poet Langston Hughes whom Weill sought out specifically to "lift the everyday language of the people into a simple unsophisticated poetry" quoted by Jane Vial Jaffe in her program notes to a 2008 production. This was Hughes' first experience writing for musical theater.<br /> <br /> Street Scene premiered at the Adelphi Theater in New York in January 1947 and met with critical success though its high production costs forced the production to close in April. The show has never been revived on Broadway but it has been staged regularly by operatic companies including revivals by the New York City Opera in 1959 1979 and 1990. <br /> <br /> Inscriptions by Weill are uncommon; it's an honor he appears to have bestowed only on very close friends and collaborators. In this case the presentation is to Joe Littau the well-known pit conductor who was at this time the Musical Director for Weill's 1948 musical "Love Life" which ran on Broadway from October 1948 to May 1949.

The company produced often radical stage productions and adaptations of works by artists and writers such as Bertold Brecht Gertrude Stein Jean Cocteau William Carlos Williams T.S. Eliot Pablo Picasso Luigi Pirandello and Federico García Lorca among others and laid the foundation for New York's robust underground art scene in the ensuing decades. <br /> <br /> The Living Theatre and its founders were the subject of the 1983 documentary "Signals Through the Flames" directed by Sheldon Rochlin.<br /> <br /> Photographs generally 7 x 5 inches to 12 x 8 inches. Near Fine overall five with light toning. All housed in a 9.75 x 12.17 inch Near Fine black folder with a "The Living Theatre" sticker on the front board. N.p. unknown‎
