Encyclopedia: Cavalcade Cavalcade was a spectacular stage play written by Noel Coward, premiered in London in 1931 and later made into a commercially and critically successful film, though it is little remembered now. The original premiere of Cavalcade took place shortly before the 1931 British General Election, and the play's strongly patriotic themes were credited by the Conservative Party for helping to secure them a large number of middle-class Londoners' votes. Although Coward was certainly a Conservative, he always strenuously denied having planned any kind of effect on the Election and indeed maintained that he had been entirely unaware an election was even due to take place. www.nationmaster.com /encyclopedia/Cavalcade

Foreign players, especially Latinos, seem to have a greater passion for the sport. augustasports.com /stories/071899/bas_240-4677.000.shtml   (2911 words)

Glasgow Citizens Company - Cavalcade At one point a vast backdrop of the Grim Reaper, like some peacenik mural, gives the play a new accent not heard before. In the last scene, the Marryots have just drunk the play's famous toast to England, "to the hope that one day this country of ours, which we love so much, will find dignity and greatness and peace again". The final scorching Twentieth Century Blues - sung by a lithe Michelle Gomez - is a hymn to the jazz age sweeping in an age of chaos. members.aol.com /glasgocitz/plays99/gcavlcad.htm   (2879 words)

village voice > theater > Freakshow: sex and the single monster; Julia de Burgos; Wild Nights by De Burgos's story is, like that of too many Puerto Rican idealists, a sad one— but the spirit that emerges from this play is a dazzling ray of light. There are excerpts from 20 of de Burgos's poems scattered throughout the play, some infused with love, some with anger, all simmering with the sublime arrogance and delicate touch that characterize her work. Postulating that Dickinson, not really a shy recluse, had a long affair with her brother's wife Susan, Olnek unleashes a cavalcade of characters— past and present— to narrate and act out Dickinson's biography. www.villagevoice.com /theater/9924,sightlines,6468,11.html   (835 words)

National Baseball Hall of Fame - 1985 Frick Award Winner Buck Canel As the Spanish broadcaster for NBC's Gillette Cavalcade of Sports, Canel was behind the microphone for an unprecedented 42 World Series, beginning in 1937. Canel's contribution to baseball transcended the mere play-by-play of the game. Canel began his career in journalism as a writer for the Staten Island (New York) Advance, and subsequently was a correspondent for the Associated Press, Havas (the French wire service), and Agence France-Press (the French News Agency). www.baseballhalloffame.org /hofers_and_honorees/frick_bios/canel_buck.htm   (835 words)

LivinBlues- CD reviews - Dagmar n' the Seductones - Cameo Blues Band All Play and No Work brings together an array of Cameo Blues Band alumni, along with a few special guests, in a 15-track cavalcade of nostalgia, interspersed with some very cool contemporary numbers. 'Rabbit' Ray Harrison put together the band in 1978 to play the Cameo Lounge at the Isabella Hotel in Toronto, Canada (know affectionately as the Izzy). As well as Ray’s right hand man on guitar, John Bride, there are two legendary Toronto guitarists that also show up: Fred Keeler (The Shays) and Domenic Troiano (Bush, Guess Who). www.livinblues.com /cdreviews/nov2004b.asp   (504 words)

Ferdydurke, a CurtainUp review Ferdydurke is, after all, a wild and outrageous cavalcade of childish pranks, sexual adventure (of all persuasions) and psychological spear-tossing. That it was all but ignored in English-speaking countries can be attributed to a particularly poor and incomplete translation, a defect recently rectified with the publication of Danuta Borchardt's excellent (and award-winning) rendition, which is the basis for the play. So we have a play that inspires one to read a great literary work of the 20th Century that most of us have overlooked. www.curtainup.com /ferdydurke.html   (504 words)

Cavalcade of Whimsy Oh yeah, and SMU was more than happy to see the Cougar attack play it close to the vest in the 95-21 loss. You can’t remark about how anything looks if you once wore a hi-top fade … Up 34-17 over Northwestern with less than three minutes to play, Minnesota scored on a halfback option pass from Marion Barber to Jared Ellerson. WAC commissioner Karl Benson on his league and the BCS, “Any time you get two teams in the top 20, that certainly is a statement a league is a bona fide and very credible league.” No, two teams beating legitimate top 20 opponents on a weekly basis makes it a bona fide and credible league. www.collegefootballnews.com /2004/Columnists/Fiu/COW/Sept_27.htm   (1186 words)

'The Red Violin' (NR) I was a little unsure of what to make of the tale in which it's buried with its youthful master, a boy trained by monks and then by a genius, to play the great music of 1792 but whose weak heart gives out at the key moment. he Red Violin," from Canada's Francois Girard, is a cavalcade film whose central icon is that glorious wooden box of perfect pitch whose strings, when bowed by an expert, produce the vibrations that move the soul. Girard, working from a script he wrote with Don McKellar, keeps the magic box moving in interesting ways. www.washingtonpost.com /wp-srv/style/movies/reviews/redviolinhunter.htm   (437 words)

Five Tips for More Peace and Happiness! Treat things divine with marked respect--and don't have anything to do with them. Do not trust humanity without collateral security; it will play you some scurvy trick. Save yourself a cavalcade of hardships -- read and heed Ambrose Bierce's parting advice in the final edition of his "Town Crier" column in the San Francisco Examiner, March, 1872: "Be as decent as you can. Find something you enjoy and, over time, try to get really good at it. Eventually, it will become one of the key aspects of your persona, if not your major passion. Hopefully, you will choose something positive that you will be proud of and it will give your life added meaning. www.seekwellness.com /wellness/reports/2005-03-11.htm   (840 words)

The Films of Jean Renoir Renoir's La Grande Illusion (1937) seems influenced by Cavalcade (Frank Lloyd, 1933), an anti-war film based on a play by Noël Coward. There is Von Rauffenstein's injured flyer in La Grande Illusion, Robert Ryan's tormented Lieutenant in The Woman on the Beach, and the amputee Captain John in The River. Even in the prison camp of La Grande Illusion, we are in a castle, not a traditional prison, and spend much time in Von Rauffenstein's home-like quarters. members.aol.com /MG4273/renoir.htm   (840 words)

Hbc Heritage - Our History - People Simpson entertained the royal party at a lavish event at his estate on Île Dorval, near Lachine that included a water-borne cavalcade of Iroquois paddlers in full paint, feathers, and scarlet costumes. From Labrador to Nootka Sound the unchecked, uncontrolled will of a single individual gives law to the land Clothed with a power so unlimited, it is not to be wondered at that a man who rose from a humble situation should in the end forget what he was and play the tyrant. In 1820 Simpson was sent to the Athabaska, the very frontier of the North American fur trade and one of the key areas of contention in the increasingly violent fur trade war between Hudson's Bay Company and the North West Company. www.hbc.com /hbcheritage/history/people/builders/simpson.asp   (840 words)

St. James Encyclopedia of Pop Culture: Jackie Gleason Gleason was recruited to play the goodhearted but incompetent Chester A. Riley in one of television's first comedies recorded on 35mm film.

Bill Laswell Discography Note : Bill Laswell does not play on this album. The cavalcade of music is expertly handled by Jackson's band, the Decoding Society, which includes heavyweights like saxophonist Eric Person, trombonist Robin Eubanks, guitarist Vernon Reid, and bassist Melvin Gibbs. Jackson reconfigures and updates these genre elements with synthesizers and electric drums, a load of harmolodic improvisation, and a pleasingly incongruous mixture of jittery, yet firm rhythms and murky, elongated horn charts. www.silent-watcher.net /laswell/iakz/decodeyourself.html   (252 words)

Amazon.com: Music: Hobo Sapiens A twelve-track cavalcade of sample-laden rock, Grand Guignol balladry and unclassifiable instrumental exotica, HoboSapiens is a consummate John Cale album in the noble tradition of Paris 1919, Fear, or Music For A New Society - albeit with a modernist twist. I agree about the over-production of some of his past work, and I can believe that seeing him play the music in totally stripped-down form might be the ultimate experience. John Cale was always the cool member of the Velvet Underground. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0002VEPSK?v=glance   (252 words)

Knitting Circle Noël Coward When Coward published his anti-war polemic, Post-Mortem, just a year before Cavalcade, it seemed he was playing up to their expectations, ready to rub along with the Pylon Boys of the next decade. 'A play which makes me rage', thundered Ethel Mannin, objecting to such obsequious class portrayal; Sean O'Casey called it 'but the march-past of the hinder parts of England, her backside draped with a Union Jack'. He began acting in January 1911 at the age of 12, playing Prince Mussel in The Goldfish by Lila Field. myweb.lsbu.ac.uk /~stafflag/noelcoward.html   (3216 words)

'Frogs' They Would A-Swimming Go Shevelove wasn't proposing a tired replay of a Busby Berkeley cavalcade; or a revival of "Wish You Were Here," which brought a pea-sized pool to Broadway a decade or so ago; or a floating operetta at the Jones Beach Marine Stadium. This was a distinguished play in a distinctive situation: a classic Greek comedy, seldom staged anywhere, let alone in the Yale exhibition pool; an intellectual farce by the Mack Sennett of his day, in which the titular frogs symbolize all the philistines who mock the pursuit of poetry and passion. Shevelove, who co-wrote, directed and appeared in the 1940's revue, "Small Wonder," was never a Top Banana. partners.nytimes.com /books/98/07/19/specials/sondheim-frogs.html   (1528 words)

Game News off the GameWire - from Gamefest.com In the erstwhile 1984 version of Conquest of the Empire, players rolled dice for each unit in their army against the target unit they were attacking. With the Eagle Games version of Conquest of the Empire, one can almost hear the thundering hooves of a thousand cavalry and envision the furls of row upon row of crimson standards set to the "pom pom pom" cavalcade of drums. In the "review game" which was played, there was an initial concern over game balance issues when one of the players was eliminated in the first 15 minutes of play and another player threatened immediate dominance. www.gamefest.com /news/review_detail/3223_0_2_0_C   (2675 words)

SPLICEDwire "Kingdom Come" review (2001) But what makes "Kingdom Come" so very entertaining is its carefully constructed cavalcade of crafty humorous asides and outright outrageous moments of screwball comedy. Adapted from the play "Dearly Departed" by its original writers David Bottrell and Jessie Jones, "Kingdom Come" is a movie of nuances that I can't do justice to without describing entire scenes or spoiling jokes that out of context just won't make you laugh out loud like they will in the picture. Lots of hearty giggles come from the smallest details, like the funeral minister's lisp or the very brief shot of the hearse after it's been TP-ed by Smith and Anderson's uncontrollable children. www.splicedwire.com /01reviews/kingdomcome.html   (606 words)

BookLoons Reviews - Cavalcade by Alison Sinclair They carry along all the baggage accumulated in their lives on Earth - physical, emotional, criminal and political - and play out those roles in space.
