196825724New York: AIDART Advanced Institute for Development of American Repertory Theatre. Near Fine. 1968-1970. Vol. 1 No. 1 - Vol. 3 No. 3. Stapled wraps. all issues in uniformly nice condition with just a touch of wear along the spines of a few and a single inked note on the rear cover of one; six of the nine have the original subscriber's address label affixed to the rear cover. B&W photographs The first nine issues of this very content-rich quarterly newsletter devoted to the repertory theatre scene in mostly America. All issues are either 16 or 20 pages in length and feature primarily stories often with interviews about notable individuals or theatre companies as well as about the general state of repertory theatre. Although the focus isn't usually on individual plays the first issue does contain a great feature on "Creating 'The Great White Hope'" including comments by playwright Howard Sackler director Edwin Sherin and other members of the production team. Articles and features in other issues include: "Robert Macbeth and The New Lafayette Theatre"; "Robert Hooks and The Negro Ensemble Company"; "William Ball and ACT"; a profile of The Minnesota Theatre Company co-founded by Tyrone Guthrie; "Theatre of Revolution"; "Confessions of a Playwright" by William Murray; interviews with Joseph Papp and Gordon Davidson; "The ANTA Theatre: A Home in New York" a conversation with Jean Dalrymple and Alfred deLiagre; an article on the Nationaltheatre in Mannheim Germany; "Margo Jones: Legacy and Legend" by J. Wesley Zeigler. The editor of the first five issues was Leota Diesel; for the remainder J. Wesley Zeigler. The newsletter ceased publication after Vol. 4 No. 3 so this set lacks only the final four issues. These provide an interesting snapshot of a period in which the federal government had only recently begun to pay some serious attention to arts funding the National Endowment for the Arts had been established by Congress in 1965 and theatre companies were always scrambling to stay afloat and claim their piece of a never-big-enough pie; several articles in these issues discuss financial tax and other "survival" issues. Thus it ever was. . AIDART (Advanced Institute for Development of American Repertory Theatre) paperback books

An apparently unrecorded not in OCLC not in the trade constitution of one of the most powerful central bodies of its kind in the country. Patrick Henry McCarthy known as "Pinhead" McCarthy and Mayor of San Francisco from 1910 to 1912 helped organize the Building Trades' Council in 1896 and became its President in 1898. It had begun with the joining of seven unions - carpenters painters decorators etc. and by 1901 the Council had grown to thirty-six component unions with over 15000 members. Right by McCarthy's side and an integral part of shaping the Council was Olaf Anders Tveitmoe who was on the Committee on Revision of the current book a Norwegian-American who had moved to San Francisco in 1898 and in a short period of time had risen to a high position in the labor movement. Tveitmoe was also the editor of 'Organized Labor' - an eight-page five-column weekly which came out on Saturdays. His commitment was evident in his first issue editorial in which he promised "a newspaper of which no Union member would be ashamed. The paper would at all times advance the interests of labor and seek to harmonize differences between existing unions. He declared that the cause of labor went far beyond shorter hours and increased wages; it included educated children happy homes prosperous communities good government and the development of a higher esteem for the working class."

001420London: Dean and Son. First edition presumed. Paper on boards. Fair. N.d. circa 1850s. Folio 13.5 by 10 inches. Not paginated 33 leaves including title page with printing on only one side per leaf. Wonderful hand-colored illustrations by unnamed artists but many with the qualiy of Tenniel. Some form part of a loose story narrative and others are part of a looser verse bond. Particularly appealing are the feline illustrations which come in several places most notably part of "The Cat Party". The leaves do not appear to have been bound in a proper order as this particular narrative moves in reverse. It is all somewhat chaotic yet charmingly so. Also a stand-out is the imagery of the "London Toy Warehouse". While some of the animal imagery is straightforward and pedestrian this is more than dominated by that which is humorous unexpected and inspired. The book was surely intended both to instruct and amuse and it is this twin objective that underlies its dual tone. The boards which are covered by illustrated paper pasted on are soiled and chewed up in the corners and the edges are rough. There are a fair number of closed tears inside near the front that were less than deftly repaired with tape some of which remains. Some soilage throughout. Still most of the imagery remains bright and appealing. <br/><br/> Dean and Son hardcover books
