Ranging from the world of operetta and music hall to spectacular drama and sensational melodrama, the productions included provide the reader with definitive proof that the phenomenon of the "smash hit" show is not restricted to modern Broadway. This is a world that encompassed the ground-breaking stage technology of Ben Hur, the wide political impact of Uncle Tom's Cabin and the sheer creative originality of L'Enfant Prodigue. Supporting the "star" system, productions featured some of the greatest names of the period - Sir Henry Irving, Sir Johnston Forbes Robertson, James O'Neill and Dion Boucicault. This was the very dawning of a new media age, which saw many of the productions transfer to the new world of silent cinema for the very first time"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 650 0 $a Theater $z Great Britain $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a English drama $y 19th century $x History and criticism. 655 7 $a Essays. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Fryer, Paul, $d 1955- $e editor. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240217011239.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=52472350CD6211EE9507C16149ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
