Not in Dichter & Shapiro. American Sheet Music.<br/><br/>The Black Crook 1866 was a melodramatic musical spectacle in four acts with book by Charles M. Bara and original music by Giuseppe Operti. Produced by William Wheatley and Henry C. Jarret at Niblo's Garden New York it premiered Sept 12 1866 and ran for 475 performances. The Black Crook was revived at various theatres throughout the rest of the century and spawned any number of imitations. <br/><br/>Ed Binney notes "The great American theatrical furore immediately following the close of our Civil War to this day a colorful legend in our stage annals was The Black Crook a Parisian importation in which ballet very good ballet figured prominently." <br/><br/>All memorabilia surrounding this scandalous and important production is highly collected. The Black Crook was scandalous because of the seeming nudity of the legs of the chorus girls actually they wore flesh colored tights. The Black Crook marks an important epoch because its form of melodramatic musical spectacle in several acts became the standard form for musical comedy as it is performed today. unknown books

"First published in 1928 and written while the author was still at Oxford this book has become a classic. It remains the best possible introduction to the most widespread and influential architectural and decorative arts movement England ever produced." "Though Gothic Revival buildings had changed the face of both town and country they were hardly appreciated in the first half of this century. Architectural historians neglected them because so few were seen as great works of art; others averted their gaze or laughed. That taste later changed was in many ways due to this book. Kenneth Clark's exploration of the changes in ideals and sensibility that inspired the Revival made it possible to see again with the eyes of those for whom the buildings had been designed and whose imaginations they had fired"-- Contents: The survival of Gothic -- Literary influences -- Ruins and Rococo : Strawberry Hill -- Romanticism and arachaeology -- Churches -- The houses of Parliament -- Pugin -- Ecclesiology -- Gilbert Scott -- Ruskin.
