As later as 1898 the Bowery had ninety-nine houses of entertainment, of which only fourteen were classed as respectable by the police.

Ichbinkunst Typical Bowery 'looks' took make-up, wigs, hats and clothes to extraordinary extremes: a curly yellow- blonde coiffure with face painted in huge red polka dots, or a tiny policeman's helmet perched above a face made up to resemble a herpes scab infestation.

MUSICAL THEATRE NOTES Besides the "legitimate theatre," Tony Pastor's Music Hall, which had opened on the Bowery during the Civil War, was the nation's leading variety theatre when it moved uptown to 14th Street in 1881. The measure of Jule Styne's contributions to the world of musical theatre may best be appreciated not alone by what performers have done for his songs, but also by what his songs have meant to the careers of the performers who have sung them. Since variety-type musical shows were then the most popular form of video diversion, it became increasingly important for stage musicals to engage an audience in a coherent story - or at least project a unified theme - in order to lure people away from their living room box. members.aol.com /chaz4bway/Index.html   (116 words)

Wm. Shakespeare in America At a performance of Richard III with Junius Brutus Booth at New York's Bowery Theatre in December 1832, the holiday audience was so large that some three hundred people overflowed onto the stage and entered into the spirit of things, the New York Mirror reported. In 1843 the curtain of the rebuilt St. Charles Theatre in New Orleans featured an arresting bit of symbolism: it depicted Shakespeare in a halo of light being borne aloft on the wings of the American eagle. The Englishman Charles Lamb found a warm reception in the United States when he asserted that Shakespeare's finest creations were reduced to mere caricatures on the stage. xroads.virginia.edu /~DRBR/levine.html   (13704 words)
