Gustavus Vasa: A Tragedy in Five Acts . With Alterations and Amendments as Performed at the New Theatre in Boston

1794Best.-Nr. 373435Boston: Printed for John West 1794. 62pp. 12mo. Disbound. Foxing a few edge tears to title staining to final few leaves small hole with minor loss to final leaf. 62pp. 12mo. Theater had been banned in Boston since the times of Increase Mather at the end of the 17th century. But in 1792 a group of Bostonians petitioned the legislature to repeal the Puritanical laws prohibiting theatrical performances and illegally established a theater in Board Alley. When Governor John Hancock sent his sheriff to shut down a performance a riot ensued. The following year an even bigger theater designed by an American architect and supported by John Quincy Adams and other notables was built at the corner of Federal and Franklin Streets. Known as the Federal Street Theatre or Boston Theatre the building opened at the beginning of February 1794 with a performance of Henry Brooke's Gustavus Vasa. Widespread publication of the plays did occur until after the Revolution when a rising middle and upper class demanded the cultural improvement of the young nation. "The market in America for published plays was determined by the theatre. It was the playgoer who bought plays and he bought the text of the play he had just seen or the one he was about to see performed on the stage. The absence of sustained theatrical activity-in fact the failure of the theatre to establish itself-in the English colonies during the first half of the eighteenth century suggests why no editions of plays were published in America during that time" Stoddard. In December 1793 with the opening of the Federal Street Theatre imminent Boston publishers David and John West proposed the publication of a selection of plays. "West proposed 'to obtain from the manager of the new theatre such plays of merit as will be performed in Boston the ensuing winter and it will be his aim to have them ready for delivery as near the time of performance as possible . They shall be printed weekly . The price to subscribers stitched in blue paper will be twenty cents each play' . West's ambition exceeded his capabilities but between January 4 and April 30 1794 he published thirteen numbers i.e. plays'" Stoddard. This of course included the first play at the Boston Theatre: Gustavus Vasa. The work was issued separately although also published within West's nonce volume A Selection of the Most Esteemed Plays Performed at the Theatre in Boston. Scarce. Evans 26704; ESTC W12546.

1924Best.-Nr. 345886New York 1924. Single leaf wrapper folded; two typescript leaves; one handbill. 4to. Illustrated unbound pamphlet wrapper folded with toning and some soiling along edge on recto two spots on verso and small tear near center at edge of page on verso; two typescript leaves folded in: Anna Cora Mowatt's prologue to Fashion and Count Jolimaitre prologue from the Provincetown Player's production; a typescript leaf with a subscription handbill laid in; overall a very good copy of a scarce program and novel piece of New York and theatre history. Single leaf wrapper folded; two typescript leaves; one handbill. 4to. The Greenwich Village Theatre playhouse opened on November 15 1917 on Sheridan Square at Christopher Street where W. 4th Street and 7th Avenue meet and was designed by Herman Lee Meader in a Dutch Colonial style. Actor Frank Conroy was integral in its development and ran the theatre. As early cinema became popular in 1921 The Greenwich started showing films between play engagements. The theatre caused controversy with some residents of Greenwich Village who took offense at the Bohemian lifestyles the space cultivated and promoted and many complaints were lobbied against it over incidents such as a "lewd poster" for an Audrey Munson film Heedless Moths. In May 1926 the theater management announced that it had merged with the Actors' Theatre. The name Actors' Theatre was retained and while its permanent home had not been decided upon the announcement made one thing clear: "It will not be the Greenwich Village." In January 1928 N. Brewster Morse signed a five-year lease with owner Marguerite A. Barker. Marguerite Abbott Barker b.1893 - d.1930 was a woman of wealth through her father who was president of Eastman Kodak. She was very active in the Greenwich Village theatre scene and hoped to provide a more experimental approach to the theatre experience that included "musical dramatic and motion picture features with a change of program every two weeks." In the lounge area art exhibitions were to be held "where tea coffee and cigarettes will be served during the intermissions." Among the first films screened was Paul Fejos's The Last Moment described by one critic as an "impressionistic picture." She intended to show "unusual films at popular prices" beginning on April 9 1928. Fashion was the first play produced by a woman playwright Anna Cora Mowatt in 1845 and revived by the Provincetown Players the original Players included George Cram Cook Susan Glaspell Eugene O'Neill John Reed Louise Bryant Floyd Dell Ida Rauh Edna St. Vincent Millay and Djuna Barnes who maintained residence The Provincetown Playhouse at 133 MacDougal Street. This production for The Greenwich Village Theatre ran from April to July 1924 and in the program here states Eugene O'Neill among it's directors. On February 4 1930 The New York Times announced "Demolition of the Greenwich Village Theatre on the northwest corner of Christopher and Fourth Streets.will begin early in March." The article explained that developers George and Edward Blum had filed plans for a 19-story apartment building the tallest in Greenwich Village. The demolished theater was replaced with the two-story Art Deco style Stewarts Cafeteria building that survives significantly altered at street level. unknown books
