(Established 1878) THE PLAY’S THE THING An important character in the theatrical world was Imre Kiralfy, just buried. Older readers will recall Kiralfy’s “Excelsior” which toured the coun- try in 1884 with 350 people in the cast. It was the “Little Nemo” of dad’s boyhood. We owe a lot to Kiralfy, originator of spectacu- lar productions. Ten per cent of us amuse the other 90—census figures of actors, stage hands, office forces, film people, amusement parks, ath- letic fields, baseball, race tracks, Men like Kiralfy, who invent new forms of entertainment, bring real happiness into life. skipped about the stage with lath swords. People of the twelfth century thought them funny. Cus- tard pies and slapsticks came later. The sense of humor changes. The first American-written play, “The Prince of Parthia,” was put on at the Southwark theater, Philadelphia, in 1767. It lasted one night. Thomas Godfrey, the author, went back to making watches and writing spring poems. Circuses were on their feet in the ’30s. Blackface minstrelsy started at the old Federal Theater, Boston, in 1799 when a comedian named Young sang “The Gay Negro Boy” in character. The first. real minstrel show, according to the memoirs of Billy Birch, was staged in 1842; one of its cast was Dan Emmett who wrote “Dixie.” ‘1 Grandpa, do you remember Dumbledon’s Serenad- ers, Dick Pelham, Buckley’s Virginia Minstrels, “Daddy” Rice who sang “Jim Crow,” or Birch, Wambole & Backus? : Great characters in the show business are few. Austin Corbin, banker from Davenport, Iowa, started Coney island in 1873. B. F. Keith changed old-time variety into mod- ern vaudeville. In 1888 he had only one dime mu- seum act—baby Alice who weighed one pound and a half when three months old. Then he chased out a piano dealer who had quarters upstairs, put in 123 seats—and the road was paved for Eva Tanguay, Houdini and the stars who feed the “Follies.” _ The dime museaum was a bright spot in our boyhood.
