The period of time included in the study extends from the middle to the end of the Nineteenth Century with particular emphasis on the years 1873 - 1900. Theatres and the plays and players who appeared in them form the subject matter of the investigation. In the pursuit of data and information the newspapers of the time proved the most fruitful sources. Advertise- ments and reviews of attractions playing in Saginaw's theatres appeared in nearly every issue. The construction and opening of a new theatre was considered a very news- worthy topic and was reported in detail. Local histories and biographies contained 111 the Hoyt Public Library in Saginaw also provided information of a general nature. In its presentation the study contains, first, a gen- eral View of the period covered in Saginaw showing the nature of the city as a lumbering capital. Following is a discussion of the major theatres in Saginaw ranging from Charles Stuart Packard the early "halls" above store buildings to the two Academies of T"usic which were very comfortable arui well- equipped theatres for their time. The first Academy, fol- lowed by the second,served as hosts to the most prominent plays and performers of the late Nineteenth Century. Saginaw was considered an important theatre town by the major attractions which toured the country. Several of the plays and the well-known actors and actresses who played in them are discussed in the second chapter. The concluding portion of the study is a tabulation of all the performances at the two Academies of Music from 1873 when the first one opened until 1900 when the moving picture began to appear and the popularity of touring theatrical companies began to decline.

The period of time covered extends from the early 1870's when dramatic entertainment became an important part of the community's life until the end of the nineteenth century, when moving picture and vaudeville entertainments began to supplant dramatic performances in popularity. Areas developed within the cOnfines of the study include: the theatres of the city, ranging from second floor "halls" above business places to two very elaborate and well-equipped theatres; some of the outstanding per- formances, which brought prominent actonsand actresses to Saginaw; and, finally, a chronological listing of all the attractions Which appeared at the two major theatres which Saginaw patronized during this era. 2 A Preliminary View A specialized history of a city or a region, in this case a theatrical history, ought not to be pursued inde- pendently of other events and conditions in the area it studies. Rare is the narrow history which isn't enhanced and enriched by the inclusion of a broader view of the time it includes. Saginaw, starting as a wilderness outpost in the vast forests of Michigan, enjoyed a number of years of quiet unspectacular growth as a remote village located on the trails and near the waterways leading to Mackinac and the western portion of the Great Lakes. However, by virtue of its location within the vast timber wealth of Hichigan and on the Saginaw River and its tributaries which drained the forest area, Saginaw was committed from its beginning to fame and wealth as an American lumber capitol. Certainly, Saginaw's theatres were a portion of the bustling booming growth and activity which surrounded them, for they existed for a people who were hewing down and clearing a wilderness. Their period of activity and pros- perity paralled the flourishing growth of the lumbering era and their decline, albeit for different reasons, followed by a few years the passing of the lumbering days. To begin with an obvious starting point, the Saginaw Valley region was added to the territory held by the white man with the Treaty of Saginaw in 1819. General Lewis Cass, commissioned by the General Government of the Territory, 9.) a d (D “.3 *3 O > 93 C?- C“ r v4 (D ”.1 *5 I} ( J C) ,_J t r U) L_J (-4- C) k- Cf D (D O H. c t .y of Saginaw with a staff of assistants and interpreters on September 10, 1810. In resconse to the call for a treaty, fifteen hundred Indians, mostly Chippewas and some Ottawas, gathered. At first reluc- tant, but eventually convinced by the offer of silver and a reservation of land for them, the Indians agreed to the treaty, and the Saginaw Valley region became a part of the white man's domain.1 The earliest chroniclers of the Saginaw region recog- nized its potentiality but were rather too optimistic of the durability of its wealth. They saw thousands of acres of pine and hardwood of a quality unsurpassed anywhere in the country. As a means of transport for logs and lumber, the Saginaw River and its tributaries drained a sizable portion of Nichigan's lower peninsula. Enthusiasts of the "generations to come."2 region hailed a source of wealth for Sadly, careless and greedy lumbermen proved this view far too hopeful, for by 1900 the "limitless" wealth of timber in Michigan's lower peninsula was reduced to thousands of acres of stumps and rotting waste from the cutting. In 1857, while the forests still stood and the lumber— man was just beginning his inroads, Saginaw was incorporated as a city of five hundred thirty-six people. By the end of 1Indian and Pioneer History of the Saginaw Valley (Thomas mwi Galatian, East Saginaw, Michiganj, lSOt, p. 3. 2Ibid., p. A8. u the Civil War it had grown in size to a population in 1866 of six thousand four hundred twenty. In lBQh at the end of the heyday of the lumberman the city had expanded so that its size exceeded fifty thousand;3 The classic View of a mushrooming lumber town is probably a close kin to modern television's concept of the brawling sin-ridden western frontier town. Saginaw was no maiden, pure and unstained. Saloons were plentiful and well— patronized, the lumberjacks did come to town to "stomp and holler" of a saturday night, and occasional veiled newspaper items seemed to indicate that not all of the ladies of Saginaw were always ladies. Yet, growing wealth and sound business operations attracted people of substance and firm respectability Who formed a nucleus for stable community life and the growth of a permanent city. The feeling of community spirit and activity evidenced itself as early as 1855 when a printed handbill appeared announcing a grand parade to celebrate "our nation's birth- day." A long list of events and features of the parade and a description of the line of march and the route to be followed were liberally larded with heavy-handed humor directed at the participants. The Weekly Enterprise, Saginaw's earliest newspaper, appeared early in the 1850's. It was soon competing with 3The Evening Leader, Special Industrial Edition, Nov. 12, IEQh. 5 a rival sheet, The East Saginaw Courier, which appeared several years later. The two papers serve as an excellent reflection of the life and interests of the community on which they reported. Topics of prime interest, of course, were lumbering and shipping, the lifeblood of the area. A typical item under the title "Lumbering" was printed in the winter of 1860. A thaw had interfered slightly with logging operations. However, the optimistic prediction was, "An Immense amount of logs will be cut in Saginaw Valley this year....many more than ever before in one year."u Movements of vessels, both north and southbound, were carefully reported giving dates and directions of sailing, names of masters, and cargoes carried. Yet, the items of commercial interest didn't entirely dominate the papers. Events of a local and regional nature which were selected for inclusion in the papers were revealing of the interests and tastes of the readers. In the high-flown style of nineteenth century journalistic prose, murders, personal attacks, drunken debauches, cruelty to children, marine and fire disasters were reported with appropriate expressions of horror. Nevertheless, each detail of misery or human frailty was presented with almost lip-smacking thoroughness, so that every reader might be properly appalled at the monstrous deed or event and yet u East Saginaw Courier, Saginaw, Michigan, Vol. 1, no. 2h, Jan. 12, 1860, p. 3. a, .“\1' V”, J.‘ v. o u.- .- M.’.L C 5““35‘ 7: Abnz/vi- _- . . 1.! .” U¢v‘..u 1"»..- 'k --‘,I' c v I ”0‘71".

Evidences of a cultural life in Saginaw also were appearing as meetings of church organizations, literary societies, musical recitals and amateur dramatic associa- tions were announced and reported in increasing number. Not the least among the social and entertainment items were the reportings of theatre activities. Although little in- formation is available concerning the earliest theatres in Saginaw, their appearance and their offerings, the occasion- al newspaper references to them indicate that they played an important part in the life of the community. The full flowering of Saginaw's theatres didn't arrive until the seventies, eighties and nineties, but the late fifties and the sixties offered theatrical diversions. Scattered ref- erences reveal a certain unwillingness on the part of the newspapers to feature theatres and theatrical events, re- flecting, no doubt, the rather low opinion of the theatre held by many influential people of the time. Even so, with its usual hardihood, the theatre made a place for itself in Saginaw. In 1859 the American Theatre of East Saginaw opened its doors offering first Damon and Pythias or the Test of Friendship and a farce The Rough Diamond. An ad- vance announcement sought to interest the public with the following: "From what we know of the professional portion of the company, we are of the opinion that the performance will be satisfactory.

The bar which was formerly in the building has been removed and no liquor is sold on the premises. The Lady of Lyons and The Spectre Bridegroom are on the program for tomorrow."5 A later issue of the Courier re— veals that the presentations of the American Theatre were often performed by a cast containing a nucleus of pro- fessional actors supported by local amateurs. "The perform- ance at the American Theatre has thus far been very satis- factory. The company has been greeted with full houses. The professionals, Mr. and Mrs. Nourse, Mr. and Mrs. Lacy and Mr. Turner are good. Support from the amateurs who constitute the rest of the company, though not perfect, is certainly all that could be expected under the circumstances."6 A very strong influence for cultural growth during Saginaw's early days was the large German population in the area. The Germans came in large numbers to work in the lumber camps and sawmills, to establish small businesses, and to farm. With their strong national identity they brought with them their native enthusiasm for music and theatre. Their Turner societies and musical organizations exist even to the present day.7 Sibid., no. 20, Dec. 15, 1859, p. 3 6Ibid., no. 21, Dec. 22, 1859, p. 3 7The Turner societies are athletic and social clubs providing recreational activities for Germans of both sexes and all ages. Francis< The ope: comedy German part of histor' cultur ticula histo: 11‘. U1: that and L 0) m 8 An item appearing in 1866 reveals how promptly they sought to maintain their national culture. "The Germans of the community will be pleased to know that Mr. and Mrs. Grunewald, for the past six years managers of the City Theatre of San Francisco, California, will open a theatre at Bellevue Hall. The Opening program is 'S Letzte Fensterl'n followed by the comedy List and Phlegma."8 Bellevue Hall continued to be a German language theatre for many years, and was an integral part of German cultural activity in Saginaw. In presenting a broad View of the beginnings and early history of Saginaw and its early attempts at achieving a cultural life, the purpose has been to show the city's par- ticular qualities. However, since this is to be a theatrical history, it is appropriate to point out that Saginaw's place in the realm of theatre and entertainment was very much like that of other cities in its;area and time. The city's opera houses, meeting halls and academies with their theatricals, both professional and amateur recitals, lecturers, etc. had counterparts in most other towns and cities in Michigan and the Mid-West. Nearly every town had a building or hall for use as a meeting place which served to house all manner of events from touring theatrical and minstrel shows, lecturers and concerts to high school commencements and home-town talent shows. 8 Saginaw Weekly Enterprise, Saginaw, Michigan, no. 555, p. 32 9 As a social sidelight on the time, it is amusing to note that a great many of these halls bore the grandiose title of "Opera House." The term Opera house lent a cul- tural sheen, though genuine operas were very rarely seen, and served as an appeasement to the influential and con- servative churches which strongly disapproved of the theatre and its sinful reputation. Largely as products of the post- Civil War era, the opera houses grew and flourished with the increasing wealth and improving transportation following the war. One historian viewing the growth of the opera house in Michigan comments: "Increasing prosperity plus the relaxing of restrictions by more liberal churchmen led to the growth of opera houses as profitable amusement centers. The last thirty years of the nineteenth century were a 'golden age' for the opera house."9 In a like manner did the variety of halls and opera houses of Saginaw grow and prosper. With a variety of names and locations they offered a variety of diversions. Prob- ably the two most prominent and durable were Bordwell's Opera House and the Academy of Music. Bordwell's offered musical varieties and "buxom beauties” along with liquid re- freshment to the lumberjacks and other "lower elements" while the Academy of Music catered to a more refined clientele which could appreciate the subtler pleasures of Shakespeare as 9Dunbar,‘Willis Frederick, "The Opera House as a Social Institution in Michigan", Michigan History Magazine, Vol. XXVII, no. 19u3, p. 664. fl?

The Academy occupied an illustrious position as one of the better theatres of a M chigan circuit olayed by the leadi g touring companies from ’0 t New York. Of a more fleeting fame were such names as Jackson Hall, a predecessor for major attractions to the Academy of Music, Smith's Opera House, similar in nature to Bordwell's, Irving Hall, Puena Vista Hall, and Eolah Fall I which served the west side oi Saginaw. With the turn of the century and the rise of vaudeville and the movies, the old names lost their lustre aid prominence and were replaced by the Jeffers, a combination vaudeville and movie house, mid such popular movie house names as the Bijou, the Dreamland and the Grand. Small boys plastered walls with handbills advertising such early movie luminaries as Fatty Arbuckle, William S. Hart and Theda Bara. The "golden age" of the Opera house faded. True, the glamour of the opera house did fade, but its color and vigor were such that it deserves a more than fleet- ing glance. In ensuing pages a closer look will be taken at the theatres of Saginaw's youth and at the names and attractions Which brought citizens flocking to them.

Not until the palmier days of top attractions and fashionable theatre attendance are detailed descriptions Of theatrical activities available. To avoid the appearance that pros- perous, well-equipped, regularly attended theatres blossomed forth full-grown and vigorous, the earlier signs and portents ought to be mentioned. In the preliminary chapter mention was made of the American Theatre appearing in 1859 and of the various halls that served as gathering places and occasionally as theatres. All of the halls were located in East Saginaw with the exception of Eolah Hall located on Court Street on Saginaw's West Side. Eolah Hall was located on the third floor of the VanWey Building in the four hundred block of Court, next to the Taylor House, later the Fordney Hotel. In fact the hall was naned for the daughter of William H. Taylor, builder of the Taylor House and an early Saginaw capitalist. Buena Vista Hall on the third floor of the first brick building built in 11 12 East Saginaw, located at Genesee and Water Streets, at no time in its history seems to have been used for major theatrical attractions. Irving Hall, next door to Buena Vista Hall, was used for a time in 1873 and 187h to house popular touring companies. It was pressed into service to replace Jackson Han. Which burned in 1873. Jackson Hall on North Washington Street was, during the early seventies, East Saginaw's major theatre for professional theatre com- panies.1 During the same period of time many companies played engagements at Jackson Hall and then moved to Eolah Hall on the west side for an additional appearance in the Saginaw area. To illustrate the distinctions to which Jackson Hall attained, during May, 1873, Edwin Booth appeared on its stage playing Hamlet and Richelieu, and Joseph Jefferson presented his very durable Rip VanWinkle.On the nights of May 21, 22, 23 & 2h Miss Jane Coombs and her company occu- pied the Jackson Hall stage with four distinguished offerings, London Assurance, Romeo and Juliet, School for Scandal and Lady of Lyons.2 Fortunately for Miss Coombs, she had an en- gagement at Eolah Hall immediately following the one at Jackson Hall causing her to whisk her props and costumes out of Jackson Hall in the nick of time. Early on Monday morning, 1Saginaw News, Saginaw, Michigan, September 26, 19h8, p. 25 (clipping from vertical file of Hoyt Public Library, Saginaw) 2Saginaw Daily Cpurier, Saginaw, Michigan, Vol. h, nos. 3,h, 8C 12,171ay 3, 1+, &3 15, 1873, p. 30 13 May 26, the Jackson Hall block burned to the ground damaging other buildings in its vicinity and claiming one fireman's life. The Saginaw Daily Courier's description of the fire and the confusion attending it makes for quite diverting reading. First a half-size extra edition appeared early on Monday, May 26, 1873, proclaiming that the Jackson Hall block, occu- pied by the city's leading hall, underneath which were stores of A. W. Wheat and Company, music dealers; V. Slessinger and Company, millinery goods; and the Singer Sewing Machine Company, had burned. Edward Pringle, who was assisting in handling hose, was buried and instantly killed when the front wall collapsed. Pringle's remains were pulled from the burn- ing building by Charley Smith, who, with help, took the re— mains to the "Dead House" where an inquest was pending. Rumors were rife that the fire was the work of an incendiary. In its regular edition of May 26, 1873, The Courier provided more detail of the fire and some entertaining com- mentary on the fire-fighting prowess of the day. It seems that a passerby saw smoke issuing from the building at 2:00 A.M. and immediately gave the alarm. Yet, fifty minutes passed before a stream of water was brought to bear on the blaze. C. A. Dolliver, the new fire chief gave several reasons for the prolonged delay. The foreman Of the fire company had taken "French leave" of the city for a fishing excursion, aid two of the most efficient fire fighters were ill with small pox. Another contributing cause for the 1L delay was a blunder by the driver of the company's rig. An excited citizen insisted he move the rig to the front of the building, which move he made. As a result, the fire hose which was to go into the building was reversed, sending the butt end in to fight the fire and leaving the nozzle resting uselessly at the rear of the theatre where the rig should have been. Showing remarkable consideration of the fire department, The Courier commented, "It is unfortunate that Chief Dolliver was so placed on the occasion of his first experience in fighting fire."3 Among the minor losses noted were S. C. Clay's barber tools and the music stands for the Saginaw City Rand. With the sudden demise of Jackson Hall, Manager Samuel G. Clay pressed Irving Hall into service to house his next attraction. Lawrence Barrett and his company were due on May 30 & 31 playing Richelieu and Rosedale. Unfortunate- ly, information concerning the shift of theatres was poorly dispensed, so that Mr. Barrett's Richelieu on the thirtieth had to cancel for the lack of a sufficient audience, and his Rosedale on the thirty-first played to a very slim house. Although it was not reviewed, Barrett's appearance the follow- ing Monday at Eolah Hall may have recouped some of his losses.“ 3Ibid., no. 28, May 27, 1873, p. 2. uIbid., no. 33, June 1, 1873, p. 2. 15 The First Academy of Music Apparently Irving Hall proved a poor substitute as a major theatre, for plans were soon in motion for a new theatre to replace the destroyed Jackson Hall. Under the heading "The New Opera House" The Courier announced to the Saginaw theatre-going public the preparations for a new place of amusement. Mr. Charles Lee, a Saginaw lumber dealer and possessor of considerable capital, was putting up the funds for its construction. "Mr. Charles Lee prOposes to erect an opera house on the site of the rink, the rink to constitute a part of the building. Architects have been con- sulted and plans are under way. The rink building is sixty feet by one hundred forty feet. Lee proposes two stores in front to run back forty to forty-five feet and an entrance between them running back to the auditorium which will be about forty-five by sixty feet and on the ground floor. The opera house is to be finished in the highest style of art and first class in every detail. Work is to be commenced in a few days."5 Later reports gave tantalizing particulars about the new opera house. The estimated capacity was fifteen hundred, three hundred in orchestra chairs, six hundred in the dress circle and the same number in the gallery. This capacity was more than twice that of Jackson Hall and much greater than that of the Opera House in Bay City. A very hot rivalry 5Ibid., no. 67, July 12, 1873, p. 3. 16 existed between Saginaw and Bay City, which apparently ex- tended even to the theatres. The exterior of the rink building was to remain nearly unchanged, but the interior was to be handsomely frescoed and furnished.6 By October work on the new theatre had progressed to a point that allowed some more specific details and some elabor- ate praise. A very stylish name, The Academy of Vusic, had been selected. It had been settled that Samuel C. Clay, formerly manager of Jackson Wall, would continue in that capacity in the new Academy. Clay was then engaged in seek- ing a first class company for the opening. Matters of venti- lation and appointment received a share of praise, but, in light of the recent Jackson Hall fire, the Academy's ground- level location drew particular attention. This location, called an advantage over most theatres, would allow the theatre to be emptied in three minutes. Stage appointments were rated as the most complete of any theatre in the state, since they were copied from some of the best theatres of the East. Scenery was executed by Smith and Bartlett of Auburn, New York. Of particular note was the drop curtain which depicted a generous drapery drawing from the center and dis- closing a beautiful landscape entitled "Italy, the Land of Song."7 A few days prior to the awaited opening of the stylish new Academy of Music, The Courier carried a detailed and élfiiéf: “0- 71, July 17, 1873, p. 2. 7lbid., no. 139, October h, 1873, p. 2. glowing View 0' impres build: throng by six sevent thirty \I 17 glowing description of the new house. Even from the remote View of mid-twentieth century, The Academy presents quite an impressive picture. Occupying the east portion of the rink building, the Academy was entered from Washington Street through a fourteen foot main entrance flanked on either side by six foot wide gallery entrances. The theatre proper was seventy-eight feet deep by sixty feet wide with a stage thirty-six feet in depth. The balcony, extending back over the stores which occupied the front of the building, gave the theatre additional depth. The height of the hall near the proscenium was thirty feet to which an ornamented dome added another nine and one half feet. The theatre floor inclined gradually from front to back at a rise of three fourths of an inch to the foot. A forty-six foot deep par- quette seated three hundred fifty patrons in cane-bottomed chairs. Extending around and slightly raised from the par- quette was the dress circle seating another three hundred fifty in morocco upholstered cushioned seats, The gallery, using the same morocco seats, accommodated six hundred. Supporting the gallery were ornamented iron columns which extended to the roof. These were kept to a three inch dia- meter in order to avoid obstructing the vision of audience members seated beneath the gallery. The Academy's stage was of quite generous proportions, being sixty feet wide and thirty-six feet deep, and was called by The Courier one of the best appointedin the state. The stage floor was broken by three traps, one right and one left fTC and 3 1C scenes v for the 18 left front which were called the star and the vampire traps, and a longer center trap called the Macbeth trap.8 Sixteen scenes with borders composed the extensive scenic lay-out for the stage. 1. 2. 3. h. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 1k. 15. 16. The sixteen scenes were: Palace scene - arch and backing. Fancy chamber. Drawing room. Library. Plain chamber. Kitchen. Prison. Castle. Prospective street (modern). Dense forest. Landscape (light woods). Moonlight scene (village landscape). Rocky pass. Horizon scene. Cave (Colleen Bawn). Garden scene. Supplementing these scenic wonders were three drapery bor- ders and four sky borders with a grand drapery in front. The terms star, Macbeth and vampire as designations for traps were not uncommon, but their application to the Academy's varies somewhat from common usage. Generally the star trap was a large trap which allowed an actor to project himself on to the stage with speed. The Macbeth or Cauldron trap, was usually a large square one. The vampire trap allowed an actor to appear to pass through solid scenery, the name taken from Planch's The Vampire Set piece a bridge: windows. and Bart? painted 0f tioned, Peal pre Richard his par* bust of a statu 19 Set pieces included a cottage, a set house, a balustrade, a bridge, a set of rocks, a fireplace and sundry doors and windows. Painting of the scenery was performed by Smith and Bartlett of Auburn, New York, the same firm which had painted and frescoed the theatre's interior. Of ornamental interest were the dome, previously men- tioned, and the statuary on the proscenium. The dome, a real prestige item, bore painted figures of King Lear, Richard III, Othello and Hamlet, each in the trappings of his particular scenes. Surmounting the proscenium was a bust of Shakespeare, while at either side of the arch stood a statue, (apparently of no particular distinction). Special praises were awarded to the lighting fixtures of the theatre obtained from Bliss and Ewing of Saginaw at a cost of nearly five hundred dollars. These elaborate gas lights, patterned in bronze and gold, were arranged in single and double burners along the balustrade in front of the gallery and four in chandeliers, one at either side of the proscenium, and two at the main entrance. The spectre of the Jackson Hall fire still lingered for a special notation was made that the hall was well ventilated and strengthened and that wide ground floor entrances allowed quick exit in the event of fire or accident.

John Buckley who ex- ecuted the plans and superintended the construction of The Academy of Music, and at whose behest Ir. Charles Lee under— took the theatre's construction. Mr. Samuel G. Clay, formerly manager of Jackson Hall, would continue in that capacity at the Academy.9 The opening attraction at the new theatre made it worthy of its grandiose name, and qualified it to wear the aura of a genuine rather than a pretended opera house. First to appear in the splendid hall was the Folman English Opera Troupe presenting on November 6, 7 and E, 1873, Offenbach's La Grande Duchesse, La Sonnambula, The Bohemian Girl, and Donizetti's Cinderella or The Class Slipper. Admission costs for these attractions offer a striking contrast to the cost of seeing a full-scale Opera today. Seats in the parquette were 9.75 and in the dress circle, fi.50. The Courier lavished praise on the quality of voices and performances offered by the Holman Troupe and made an impassioned plea for heartier community support.

One can detect a note of urrcncy in The Courier plea for greater public support of tfie holman Opera Troupe in its appearance at the Academy of Music. The degree of sephis- tication associated with a taste for grand opera was probably not widespread in the Saginaw of the lumbering days. A more obvious sign that the taste for grand opera was not universal n Saginaw of several thriving opera hvuses H- was the presence which offered a more democratic bill of fare. Ads for Sriths and Eards' and for Ecrdwell's Opera Houses ballyhooed a succession of variety acts which a rarently found a ready audience. Pordwell's which offered a happy combination of theatrical and liquid diversion was frequently mentioned. Bordwell's Opera House Caught in a reminiscent mood, a writer for The Saginaw Daily News in 1930 interviewed one Joseph Troungo, then a carpenter, bit formerly employed as a bartender at Bordwell's Opera House during the 80's.12 Mr. Troungo's recollections lllbid. 1 [U Saginaw Daily News, October 20, 1930 (article in Vertical File, hoyt Oublic Library, Saginaw, Michigan). present eral COT pretensi in the ; barroom room f1 after-h to the boxes c ladies discre4 Once s 22 present a picture of a pleasure more in keeping with the gen- eral concept of a lumbering town than does the flowery pretension of the Academy of Music. Bordwell's Opera House in the 200 block on North Washington Street was a combined barroom and theatre. The sawdust, six inches deep on the bar- room floor, had yielded Troungo many a silver dollar from after-hours siftings. Beer runners dispensed "beer and smokes" to the patrons during the acts on the stage. The upstairs boxes could be reached by an outside stairway which allowed ladies and their escorts to enter and be seated behind discreet lace curtains without being too closely observed. Once seated, they could drink their beer and watch the show in comfortable obscurity. Lumberjacks, who formed a large portion of the audience, were far from peaceable patrons, so a club was kept handy to deal with those who became too rowdy. Some of the more popular acts which played Bordwell's were McIntyre and Heath, a blackface duo; Jimmy Golden, a Bay City boy who made the big time as an Irish comic;and the Great Duval, a contortionist. Duval was another local-boy-made- good, for Troungo recalled him as Jimmy Murphy, a skinny lad playing on the sawdust pile back of Bordwell's, who would twist himself into a knot if a dime were tossed to him in the barroom. It's worth noting that the acts at Bordwell's weren't limited to comics and contortionists, for one of the more memorable bills read, "bevy of Buxom Beauties...Brash and Bold." Advertising at Bordwell's was as colorful as the other activities of the house. Each Friday Warren Bordwell, the p? 0191" wagon dra when it Can have see finerrent which {3: sawmill 23 the proprietor, would assemble the band in a sign-bedecked wagon drawn by four pure white horses. At the head of the procession Bordwell, playing a trumpet, would ride a cream- colored horse and lead his entourage through town to the west side, to Carrollton, and back to the theatre in time for the show's opening. In such a pattern Bordwell's con- tinued to operate from the early seventies until about 1896 when it closed with the passing of the lumbering days.13 Contrasted with Bordwell's the Academy of Music must have seemed a rather pallid place of entertainment. The re- finements of decoration and the artistry of the performers which graced the Academy probably held little appeal for a sawmill worker or a tired teamster when set beside the gaudy appeal of "bold" dancing girls, flowing suds, and the possi- bility of a skull—busting brawl to be found at Bordwell's. Earlier mention was made that the name opera house was widee ly favored by theatre owners as a mark of refinement and respectability. Certainly Saginaw strayed from this popu- lar nineteenth century notion since its only Opera houses which actually bore the name accommodated the least refined and probably least respectable segment of the pOpulation. However, the voice of Art had not yet said its final word in the matter of Saginaw's theatres. The crowning achieve- ment was still to come. 13Ibid., June 17, 193A (clipping from Vertical File, Hoyt Public Library, Saginaw, Michigan). “A Tl.

Yet, the regard of the citizens of Saginaw for the theatre they had so admired in its glossy newness seemed to have faded. In its place had grown a desire for a new and more impressive place of entertainment. The old Academy, with its entrance flanked by store fronts and its exterior too reminiscent of the old rink, no longer suited the grow- ing portion of Saginaw's population Which relished cultural pursuits in appropriate surroundings. An Academy of Music Association composed of prominent citizens and headed by William L. Webber, a wealthy and civic-minded lumber baron, was formed. The Association had as its aim the construction of a new Academy which would far outshine its predecessor and would be a fitting rival for the finest theatres in Michigan. Funds were raised by popular subscription, and shares of stock were issued in the new venture. Mr. Charles Lee, Sr., the builder of the old Academy, made available the old theatre's site for the construction of the new one. An architect and builders were engaged. The Academy's manager, Sam Clay obligingly shifted his attractions to the Germania Theatre to make way for razing and construction crews. In the no-nonsense man- ner of those vigorous times, the Academy of Music Associa- tion promptly began construction of the new theatre, so that on July h, 188h, The Saginaw Dailnyourier could report this 25 cheering information to its theatre-going readers: the foun- dation of the new Academy was underway, frontage of the new building on Washington Street would be seventy fee§,depth on.William street would be one hundred forty feet, its seat- ing capacity would be fifteen hundred, its estimated cost was forty thousand dollars and completion could be expected around October 1.1“ The October date proved to be a bit Optimistic, for it was not until December that the new Academy Of Music was ready to Offer its first attraction. Two postponements of Opening occurred in that month. Finally, however, December 16, was settled upon as the opening date of the new theatre. Ten dollar certificates were sold for the anticipated first night. Only holders of these generously priced tickets would be admitted. Everyone in Saginaw who made any pretense of social distinction became the holder of one Of those ten dollar certificates. Certainly an Opening so hailed and acclaimed would re- quire an attraction of more than passing interest. The new Academy's managers, Sam Clay and John Buckley, had engaged for the theatre's inauguration an Austrian actress prominent in Europe, but thenmaking her first American appearance. Saginawians must have been impressed to learn that the Count- ess D'Arco, Mme. Antoinette Janish, respected actress and elegant lady Of Vienna, was to grace the stage of their new lqu.

Janisch in Lenore and theswcond, in the perennial Camille. NO further postponements delayed the inaugural Of the new Academy. The evening Of December 16, 1884, was probably the most glittering one socially, that the city had yet known. In reporting the grand event, The Daily Courier used this heading, "Fashion‘s Fete - The inaugural entertainment at the Academy of Music." In attendance was "a large fashionable audience, the elite of Saginaw, East Saginaw and Bay City with guests from The Detroit Free Press and professional gent- lemen from New York, Chicago, and Detroit. Before the curtain rose, elegantly printed and fringed souvenir programmes were presented to each lady present." Praises for the theatre glowed with superlatives. "It was as if a new era had dawned.. as though summer had been substituted for winter, poverty for riches, light for darkness. Praise was unstintingly lavished on the architect and the management."15 On the previous Sunday The Courier had pointedly whetted the anticipation Of its readers for the gala Occasion by printing a lengthy and detailed description Of the theatre, its construction and its decoration. The heading of the article proclaimed "A Temple of Art... Rich in design, beau- tiful in finish andelegant in execution." Located on the corner Of Washington and William Streets, the building's lsIbid., no. 202, December 18, 188A, p. 6. inche: the b1 27 dimensions were seventy feet by one hundred forty feet on a lot eighty feet by one hundred forty feet. Its foun- dations were of rubblestone in three courses, the first, four feet wide by one foot thick, the second, three feet wide by one foot thick, and the balance to the water table, two feet wide. In some places the foundation extended to a depth of twelve feet below the grade line. Upon the stone foundation and running around the entire building was a heavy water table of Bedford limestone. Above the table brick walls twenty inches in thickness extended up twenty- five feet where their thickness was reduced to sixteen inches from that point to the roof. Every twenty feet along the building's entire length buttresses two feet thick and three feet wide extended to the roof and supported the roof trusses. In summing up the exterior appearance, the article was rather non-committal in saying, "It is of no particular school of architecture, but would attract the attention of the passer-by."16 From the bulky but rather undistinguished sounding ex- terior the description moved to the Academy's interior where the design and execution evoked far more enthusiastic phrases. The main entrance was at the center of the building's front and was flanked by the gallery entrances. Inside the entrance a vestibule done in red oak, with a tile floor, elaborately decorated walls and ceiling and a unique and beautiful chan- delier greeted the theatre-goer. When he had passed through 16 ° Ibid., no. 198, December 14, l88h, p. 11. 28 the vestibule the patron entered a foyer described as "Without an equal in the West." The foyer extended across the entire building and was separated from the auditorium by ten openings generously draped in rich silk turcoman. Prevailing tones in the foyer were old blue, cedar and bronze. The foyer and the balcony stairs were done in mo- quette carpeting, the walls, in embossed velvet paper and the ceiling, in elaborate frescoes. The transoms over the vestibule doors were in elaborate designs of art glass with the glass over the main entrance lettered, "Academy ' in antique gold. of Music,‘ At either end of the foyer were broad easy stairs to the balcony and the ladies' and gentlemen's parlors. The writer, apparently male, observed that the gentlemen's room was well furnished and carpeted having polished cherry woodwork with a matching mantle ornamented with tile facings and brass trimmings, a frescoed ceiling, art hangings on the walls, a pressed leather dado, and a cherry chair rail. Of the ladies' rooms all he could discern was that the foyer and adjoining rooms were in Queen Anne style furnisned in polished cherry. On the first landing were the manager's suite of offices and the gentlemen's lounging and smoking rooms. Of these it was only noted they were elaborately furnished with arm chairs and brussels carpet. Moving from the imposing foyer and parlors into the auditorium of the new Academy, the writer discovered more artistic wonders. The main floor of the auditorium was 29 sixty-six feet wide and fifty deep. Above the main floor were a balcony extending back to within eighteen feet of the building's front and a gallery extending the entire distance to the front. Midway between the stage and the foyer were three Parisian boxes seating four in elaborate armchairs, and on the first tier were two proscenium boxes also seating four. The balcony boasted a duplicate arrange- ment of boxes. All of these comfortable boxes were done in a rich moquette carpeting. As the description of the auditorium proceeded, it was very apparent that the taste of the Victorian Age for heavy and lavish decoration had been indulged to the fullest in the new theatre. The fronts of the balcony and the gallery were called "light and graceful and symmetrical", though their decoration sounds a bit weighty. Paneled woodwork, 17 the panels filled with lin crusta walton in antique gold, was surmounted by a polished brass rail from which was sus- pended a turcoman silk fringed valance. Of course, the most elaborate effects had been reserved for the front of the theatre where the proscenium and the private boxes had been blended into an elaborate and very impressive prospect for the patrons' view. The proscenium arch itself was framed in a carved wooden moulding finished in antique gold. On either side of the arch were large pilu asters extending three feet in front of the moulding. Lin crusta walton is a coarse stiffened fabric on which designs are either painted or embossed. These wer between t design or Incorpor: boxes lo carrying: ., b‘iI‘ITLO‘l’CC above er 30 These were framed in still more enriched antique gold mouldings; their centers were raised surfaces covered, again, with lin crusta walton and more gold. The wall between the pilasters covered its plainness with a blended design on a gold background. Flanking the stage and the pilasters were two encore openings hung with jute velour. Incorporated into this gilded splendor were the private boxes located just in front of the pilasters and further carrying the gilded moulding and lin crusta walton motif. Surmounting the pilasters and boxes were carved capitals above which extended a segmented arch having spandril panels covered in gas-light blue plush which in its turn had an overlay of carved wood finished in gold. At this point the writer for The Courier abandoned his detail-by-detail descriptive itinerary through the lavish new Academy, recognizing that his own devotion to detail was overmatched by that of the building's designers. He dismissed a large portion of the remaining ornamentation by saying, "In the boxes and the rest of the house is equally elaborate decoration...and further use of columns, drapes, velvet, art glass, carved woodwork, rosettes, etc."18 Statistics, facts and credits for the new theatre were next brought to the readers' attention. Treating rather briefly of the stage itself, the article outlined its dimen- sions. The stage width was sixty-six feet, its depth was 9 1"Ibid. n'v‘l‘ , ‘7'- .l-b-" Sliv- .. L.‘v I- bill rt' .

The proscenium was thirty feet wide and thirty-two feet high. The stage and the auditorium were separated by a floor-to-ceiling fire wall. For the con- venience of the performers twelve dressing rooms were pro— vided, six of them on the stage level. The equipment of the stage was tersely described as the most modern machinery and twenty complete sets of scenery with a large stock of set pieces. As the writer turned his attention again to the audi- torium and its elaborate furnishings, his love of descrip- tive detail re-asserted itself. The auditorium seats by A. H. Andrews and Company were improved, automatic back Opera chairs in gold embossed plush with iron work in col- ors to harmonize with the decor and tipped with bronze. The basic seating capacity of the new Academy was fifteen hundred, but an additional three hundred could be seated in the large lobbies of the first tier and the balconies. When it came to illumination, the Academy left no doubt that it knew its greatest glory in the "gaslight era", for its scheme of gas lighting was fully as elaborate as its decorations. The central chandelier in the auditor— ium had one hundred and two burners in polished brass candle clusters, each cluster being circled in cut glass pendants, and from the main band of the chandelier hung a festoon of cut glass pendants. Around the auditorium ted t was a O .in L . C“ 1‘ .\ .5 1.15 111 l T031 .Tu rd 3 . 589 an - LI LT 7‘. V -l 0m § .n ast‘urea \fl 32 and in the boxes were many more candle clusters. An assort- ment of candle clusters, globes, festoons and chandeliers lighted the under-balcony, foyer, stairway, newel posts and retiring rooms. As a final ornamental fillip each fixture was fitted with an imported tinted glass bobeche.19 Even ceilings did not escape their share of ornamentation, for, throughout the interior, they were done in elaborate fresco designs. However, all of this heavy-handed decoration must have had a rather sombre cast, for the color scheme through- out was a blend of blues, black, old gold, cedar and bronze. Not to be neglected in so fine a new theatre were the considerations of audience security and comfort. Still alive in the memories of most of the new Academy's prospective patrons was the destructive Jackson Hall fire. Therefore, fire precautions were given special attention both in con- struction of the new building and in news coverage concern- ing it. Large stand pipes on either side Of the stage at stage and fly gallery level were equipped with fifty feet of hose, and a fireman was to be on duty at all time "to ex- tinguish an incipient fire." A total of fourteen exits, eight from the main floor, four from the balcony and two from the gallery with a combined width of seventy—four feet assured a quick means of escape for an audience in case of fire. Heating the new theatre was also a prime considera- tion, for an audience that fancied itself fashionable was lgA bobeche is a light globe usually made of ornamented glass. .3‘ 1.1. i— gt COT’l' .¢ 7.. r: C 1‘ .3 rd 8 “v 4 .

Five single and one double Palace King furnaces set in masonry warmed pure outside air and sent it through lat- eral ducts to registers at the bottom of the theatre, pro- viding a complete change of air every ten minutes. A con- venience appreciated by traveling companies was a covered driveway for properties and baggage formed by arching over the rear ten feet of the building. An array of out-of-town talent had been engaged to assure Saginaw an outstanding new theatre. J. M. Wood of Chicago was the architect, art hangings were done by Spoor Mackey of Chicago, frescoes, by Spierling and Linden of Chicago, and scenic work, by Graham and Davis, also of Chi- cago. Construction was supervised by James McIntyre of Hannibal, Missouri. Strangely, this lengthy article made no mention of the one item which in later years was regarded as the most famous single feature of the Academy's decorations. In re- calling the beauties of the Academy, writers of more recent years made special note of the act curtain. "The most fam- ous item in the theatre was the Hopkins act curtain done by the famous marine artist, one of the few such which he did."20 Another reference to the act curtain spoke of Robert Hopkins as its artist and recalled a Dickens quote which the curtain bore, "The stateliest building man can raise, becomes the 2OSaginaw Daily News, 36th. year, no. 278, April 18, 1917, p.2h.

In the Academy's later years the cur- tain had been stowed away, but the Saginaw Woman's Club had discovered its plight and had had it restored and rehung.21 With a distinguished opening attradtion and a dazzling appearance the new Academy of Music was immediately estab- lished as Saginaw's finest theatre. Saginaw theatre-goers were delighted to have so imposing a new building as their own. They seem to have attended it faithfully and in good- ly numbers, for during its career the Academy was able to play host to many of the most glittering theatrical names of the day. Among the very famous personalities to appear on the Academy's stage were Sarah Bernhardt, Ellen Terry, Julia Marlowe, Mrs. Leslie Carter, Mrs. Patrick Campbell, Edwin Booth, Joe Jefferson, Richard Mansfield, E. H. Soth- ern, John Drew, Forbes-Robertson and Otis Skinner. Another latter day reminiscence about the virtues of the theatre said, "The Academy of Music was so greatly out of the ordin- ary for a city of this size in the wilds of Michigan that the stage fraternity looked at it as a sort of palace in the wilderness."22 Thus at the height of the boomingly prosperous lumber era, the new Academy of Music was raised to satisfy Saginaw's desire for the pleasures and entertainments of the larger and more sophisticated cities to the south and east. 21Robert C.

By the turn of the century the seemingly endless supply of virgin timber in Michigan was gone. Wanton cutting, wasteful methods, greed, and disregard for the future had combined to reduce Hichigan's forests to a desert of stumps and slashings. The infant industry which was to put a nation on wheels and make Michigan an indus- trial giant among the states was just beginning to stir. Entertainment too was experiencing a change and upheaval at the century's change. Theatres in Saginaw which fol- lowed the Academy of Music were built to accommodate new entertainers who grimaced and postured across a flickering screen and remained many miles away from their enthusiastic audiences. Touring theatrical companies came to Saginaw less frequently and were less anxiously awaited by Saginaw's theatre-goers. The Academy stood dark for longer periods. "Its original splendor faded as the years wore on, and toward the end it became dingy and unkempt, but still it was cherished for the famous men and women who had made its rafters ring with Shakespeare and almost every other dramatist of note."23 Thirty-three years after its glamourous opening the Academy chose to make a dramatic exit rather than endure a 2 3Ibid. 36 lingering death. On April 17, 1917, the proud old the- atre burned almost to the ground beyond any repair or resurrection. A rather dramatic newspaper account pre- sented a vivid picture of the fire.2u The blaze began at 9:M5 p.m., April 17, and raged for two hours endan- gering neighboring buildings and firemen fighting the fire. Its origin was unknown. The fire fed on timbers, curtains and scenery dried with age and grew quickly to become one of Saginaw's most spectacular fires. The fire, which began on the stage, was sighted by a passer-by, Daniel 1220, who gave the alarm. Flames shot out doors and windows illum- inating the city; sparks rained for half a mile around the theatre, and, for an hour after the fire began, Washington Avenue and the streets to the north were paved with cinders and flaming wood. A large crowd soon gathered despite the menace from flying sparks and burning debris. Saginaw Fire Chief Hudson soon sounded a general alarm which brought all the city's fire equipment to the scene within ten minutes. Tons of water poured on the fire had little effect, and the firemen turned their attention to adjoining buildings. Soon after the fire's beginning flames broke through the as- bestos curtain, and, when the stage roof collapsed, they swept the auditorium. The rear wall collapsed crushing two small frame houses on Janes Avenue. Occupants of the houses, Mrs. Kelly and Mrs. May Schmidt, escaped just in time to avoid being crushed themselves. Soon after the flames “hep. Cit., Saginaw Daily News. 37 entered the auditorium, they shot out the front of the building far into Washington Avenue cracking a plate glass window on a store opposite. The Academy's then manager, Fred E. Button, said the origin of the fire would probably never be known. That af- ternoon twelve hundred school children had attended a Hump- ty-Dumpty show staged by a lone magician. Joseph Stanick, the custodian, had built a small fire to take the chill off the auditorium. There was no other fire in the building when Stanick closed and left the theatre at ozh5 p.m. Manager Button theorized that the fire may have begun high up in the scenery where one had started the previous Sep- tember and had been quickly extinguished. His estimate of the loss was $25,000. on the building and $10,000. on the contents. So, with a spectacular exit, the Academy of Music was gone, putting a final period to an era which had already passed. In the new theatres movies were established as the major attraction. Touring companies played Saginaw far less frequently. The lumbering days were already nostalgic leg- end. Similar changes had taken place throughout the coun- try; Saginaw's evolution was only a part of a wider picture. CHAPTER II ATTRACTIONS AT THE TWO ACADEM ES OF MUSIC In this day of mass communication and mechanized enter- tainment the faces of celebrities and leading performers come directly into our homes. The features of stage and screen stars are as familiar as those of the members of our own families. Yet, the special thrill of seeing a cele- brated actor in person comes very rarely for most of us and usually involves a long trip and considerable expense. The remoteness of our entertainment idols is another of the small prices of progress. Yet, seventy—five years ago in the small lumbering city of Saginaw one could, for a modest sum, see in person the leading actors and actresses of the day. In a single season Saginawians saw such stage luminaries as Lawrence Barrett, Edwin Booth, Julia Marlowe, Helena Modjeska and Joseph Jefferson. Saginaw was not unique in playing host to such a succession of notables. Months of trouping the provinces and playing long series of one-night stands were the accepted lot of even the most distinguished of nineteenth century American actors and actresses. 38 39 In 1859, when Saginaw was a village of under a thous- and, the American Theatre opened its doors offering, among several other selections, The Lady of Lyons and The Spectre Bridegroom. The company was composed of a core of profes- sionals supported by local amateurs. The performances, as played by Mr. and Mrs. Hourse, Mr. and Mrs. Lacy and Mr. Turner, the professionals, were called very satisfactory. Support from the amateurs who composed the balance of the company, "though not perfect in every instance is certainly all that could be expected from them under the circumstances." Thus, in its infancy, Saginaw was established as a town to be visited by touring players. As the town mushroomed with the lumbering boom, the quality of theatrical entertainments advanced at an equally startling rate. A mere twelve years after the opening of the American Theatre, Jackson Hall had succeeded to the title of the city's leading theatre, and in 1873 it offered to its patrons two performances by the leading American player. On May 5 and 6 Edwin Booth appeared at Jackson Hall playing first Hamlet and then Richelieu. Under the management of J. H. McVicker of Chicago Booth was touring the country in these two durable vehicles. The advance notices of Booth's Saginaw engagement proclaimed that the great actor would be supported by a powerful company selected from Booth's Theatre in New York and McVicker's Theatre in Chicago and would be lEast Saginaw Courier, Vol. 1, no. 21, Dec. 22, 1859, p. l. l «1 rd IA r._ Cu 7 ‘ n‘ I -Y‘rs \J \4' C80 § ofi—ol;\ 38X :0???" :15“ WE to bringing the original costumes and properties used in the 2 Admission for this New York performances at Booth's. major attraction was $2.00 for parquette and balcony seats and $1.50 for the gallery. Included in the advertisement was this unusual statement, "To avoid speculation and in compliance with the general request one hundred choice seats will be sold at auction at Jackson Hall Thursday morning at 10:00. The general sale of tickets will com- mence on Friday at 9:00 at D. R. Brown's jewelry store."3 ' Saginawians were familiar with Booth's talent and fame, for they filled the hall to see him play Hamlet. Naturally, The Courier was lavish in its praises of the great tragedian. "Booth's reading of the part of the Dane was exquisite. It is necessary to see this wonderful ar- tist clothing the conception of the poet with the real living embodiment of a present truth.....the hall last evening was filled with a highly appreciative audience who returned home with exclamations of delight issuing from their lips knowing that to have seen Booth in Hamlet was a rare privilege."u The Courier's reviewer may have been guilty of bor- rowing a phrase here and there from a more sophisticated critic, but he surely did not want to be left behind in 2Saginaw Daily Courier, Vol. u, no. 1, May 1, 1873, p. 3. 3,, .LOido hlbid., no. 10, May 6, 1873, p. 2. l 41 heaping praises on so distinguished a performer. Booth's Richelieu on May 6 was not so heavily attended, but the performance again evoked an appreciative tribute. "Edwin Booth has fulfilled public expectation. He has far exceed~ ed his predecessors in dramatic worth and furnished a sea- san of rare enjoyment. He has given the provincial board what many fail to find in metropolitan theatres."5 From Jackson Hall, Booth went on to play Richard III at Eolah Hall in West Saginaw, or Saginaw City as it was called in 1873. No review of that performance was printed, but a statement of the receipts for the three Saginaw en- gagements appeared: East Saginaw, two nights.................. $2,612.00 Saginaw City, one night.................... 1,174.00 $3,786.00 Following these substantial figures was a caustic reply to a statement in the rival Bay_City Tribune that the young bloods of Saginaw had to chip in funds to pay the expenses of Booth's entertainments in the city. In lofty disdain The Courier labeled the remark "nonsense and hardly worthy of notice." To counter the Bay City jibe The Courier reply indulged in a bit of spite and understandable pride. "One thing is certain, somebody at Bay City is to blame for not allowing the citizens of that city the pleasure of having 5113:1le 9- no. 11, May 7, 1873, p. 2. k2 Booth for one night. The plastering over by The Tribune is too thin."6 The very next attraction at Jackson Hall brought to Saginaw a performer fully as famed, if not so impressive as Booth. Joseph Jefferson made his first appearance in Saginaw on May 10, 1873, with his well-established interp- retation of Rip Van Winkle. The Saginaw audience was well acquainted with Jefferson's fame in the role, for it attend- ed in large numbers. "An audience gathered last night at Jackson Hall...flattering in numbers and comprising the 'elite' of the city, just such an audience as greeted Booth and such as will greet every first-class entertainment."7 Of Jefferson's performance as Rip the reviewer said, "This keeping of a character so perennially fresh, sweet and mag- netic requires a genius of rare order, and it is superflu- ous to say that Mr. Jefferson has this genius."8 The burning of Jackson Hall on May 28, 1873, proved a major stumbling block to the next important actor to appear in Saginaw. Lawrence Barrett and company had been engaged to play Richelieu on May 30 and Rosedale on Hay 31. Although the performances were quickly transferred to Irving Hall, the audience did not prove so mobile. Richelieu on the thir- tieth was cancelled, so small was the turn-out, and Rosedale / OIbid., no. 12, May 8, 1873, p. 2. 71bid., no. 15, May 11, 1873, p. 2. 8Ibid. H3 on the thirty-first played to a very small house. The re- view of Rosedale pronounced Barrett a peer of Booth and praised the supporting company as being superior to that v - ° A. ' Q 1 n -. g accompanying either LOOtfl or Jelierson. With the Opening of Saginaw's first Academy of Music in November, 1873, the city was restored as an attractive stop for travelling companies. The first performer of par- ticular note to play at the new Academy was E. A. Sothern who brought his very durable vehicle, Our American Cousin, to Saginaw for a single performance on January 1h, 1874. According to the advertising Sothern had already played Lord Dundreary in the play over four thousand times in America, England and France. So popular was his playing of the role that the character's name was billed above the play's title in the advertisement.10 On the performance The Courier commented, "Sothern was greeted by a most ex- cellent house, the best since the Academy's opening. The play is well-worn, yet, the character of Dundreary is of such eccentricity that Sothern has made it peculiarly his own and established his reputation with it."11 In the ensuing years the two Academies of Husic played host to an impressive number of the major theatri- cal names of the late nineteenth century. There were 9Ibid., no. 33, June 1, 1873, p. 2. lOIbid., no. 222.

Today nowhere in Michigan outside of Detroit could one see so many theatrical greats in a single season, and it would be a rare Detroit season that could equal for distinguished names some of the Academy's top years. The Saginaw Daily Courier and the later Saginaw Courier- Herald were very faithful in reporting and reviewing the attractions appearing in the city. It was a poor performance indeed that did not recieve some recognition in their pages. In the main the reviewing was moderate and uncritical, but occasionally a play or a performance evoked a sharp denuncia— tion or a glowing approval. Whatever its attitude on a par- ticular billing, though, the newspaper coverage reflected a substantial interest in Saginaw in theatre-going. Many play reviews contain references to the large numbers in at- tendance and the fashionable and distinguished audience mem- bers to be seen at the Academy. When they are separated and sorted from the perfunctory reportings of minstrel shows, regional stock companies and lecturers, the reviews of the major attractions make inter- esting and often entertaining reading. If they may be con- sidered as a gauge of audience taste and discernment, the newspaper accounts of plays and players indicate a limited concern for depth and content in dramatic literature beyond an uplifting sentiment or moral. The real delight for the A5 Saginaw play-goer lay in seeing an exciting or impressive performance by a player or an unusual and spectacular scenic effect. The greatest source of irritation was any attempt by a company to offer an obviously inferior performance in the belief that its inferiority wouldn't be recognized. Dominant, though, was a willingness to be entertained and impressed, especially by any offering which bore the approval of more cultured and refined Eastern audiences. Typical of the journalistic reception of an important play and player is the review of Thomas W. Keene's appearance in Saginaw on April 8, 188M, playing Richelieu. Its major observations were: "An audience of the best people in the city who recognize a play of worth presented by first rank- ing members of the acting profession attended. Keene's acting was perfect in every respect, his conception of the character, magnificent, and his voice and expression in ac- cord with his other accomplishments. The company was excel- lent and supported Keene well; he received enthusiastic ap— plause during the performance and several curtain calls fol- lowing it."12 The attraction which followed Keene at the Academy was of particular interest as an illustration of the melodrama- tic spectacle then very much in vogue. The advance billing in The Courier offered impressive promises of sensational entertainment: "S. G. Clay to present The World, six acts, 12333., Vol. XIV, no. 295, April 9, 18811, p. 1+. 21o eight tableaux, ten thousand dollars for scenery and effects alone....this most realistic and spectacular melodrama is a perfect marvel of scenic effort, causing you to weep, trem- ble and rejoice....the wonderful and startling RAFT SCENE covering ten thousand square feet of canvas and occupying the entire stage from wall to wall with surging waves and terrible realism....the deck of an ocean steamer by night ....moonlight panorama....the revolving tower, etc."13 An advance story appeared in the same issue of The Courier uotina The Buffalo (N.Y.) Express on The World. ”The ships C2 .. (with a little stretch of the imagination) were real ships; the sinkings of the steamer and the hero and heroine on a raft were thrilling; the wild rocking of their frail craft on the bosom of the restless ocean, with the billows occa- sionally rising high above their heads and hiding them from view, caused the sympathetic in the audience to fear for their safty; and the timely approach of a full—rigged ves- sel, which fired a gen and 'tacked' in the direction of the n 11;. raft, roused the spectators to a high degree of enthusiasm. In its own review of The World, The Courier could only echo the advance story's approval with such phrases as: "....one of the grandest spectacular plays ever seen at the Academy ....the audience was intensely satisfied....scenic effects ...15 magnificent....ship and raft scenes beyond description 13Ioid., p. 7. lLLIbid., p. h. 1 -, SIbid., no. 297, April 11, 18th, p. k. #7 In June, 188h, following the performance of The World in April, work was begun on construction of the new Academy of Music on the site of the old one. Although their new theatre was not due for completion until November (the actual Opening had to be delayed until December), Saginaw theatre- goers were not deprived of entertainment. Rather, the Acad- emy's management hired the Germania Hall and commenced a normal season in September. It seemed Lawrence Barrett's lot to arrive in Saginaw when the city's best theatre was unavailable. In 1873 he was on hand to view the still— smoking ashes of Jackson Hall, and now, in 1884, he could only view the promise of the new Academy and retire to the Germania for his performance. On October 28, Barrett played George Bokor's Francesca da Rimini. He and his company re- ceived warm critical praise. "Barrett was received by a large audience of the elite from Saginaw and East Saginaw ....Barrett in the role of Lanciotto gave full force and power almost sublime, yet grandly natural; his playing showed profound study plus refinement, eloquence, an eloquence which stamps him as one of the peers of the theatrical king- dom."16 Members of Barrett's supporting company received especial praise for their quality. This concern with the quality of the supporting company appears frequently in re- views, often in the form of sharp criticism of weak support. Apparently even very prominent stars were subjected to lélbid., Vol. xv, no 159, Oct- 28, 188A, po u. AB economies in the cast while traveling, for The Courier often lamented that a fine performance by a distinguished star was weakened by poor support from the rest of the company. As an example of the perennial favorite in American plays Uncle Tom's Cabin is a classic. Certainly, it exceeded any other play in Saginaw's theatrical history for frequency of performance. On November 7, 188A, it was performed at the Germania by the Boston Ideal Uncle Tom's Cabin Company, one of many companies which trouped the hardy old chestnut across the country for years. The Boston Ideal Company, however, boasted the special distinction of being the only company traveling with the sanction of Harriet Beecher Stowe. If Mrs. Stowe's blessing was not a sufficient spur to attendance, the company had the added attractions of a group of jubilee singers, a trick donkey, bloodhounds, a scene of Eva's escape on the ice of the Ohio River at night and two trans- formations called "Eva in Heaven" and "The Gates Ajar."l7 During its brief reign as Saginaw's major theatre, the Germania accommodated seventeen attractions. Throughout its hour of fame, though, the Germania was constantly remind- ed that its prominence was to be short—lived. The Courier carried frequent reports on the progress of the new Academy of Music. No small amount of suspense was centered around the announcement of the inaugural selection at the new the- atre. Finally, on December 7, 188A, it was announced that the new Academy would open on December 16 with the Countess l7Ibid., no. 167, Nov. 6, 1884, p. u. 1+9 D'Arco, Mme. Antoinette Janisch, playing in Leonore, "a drama of no striking character but a shOWpiece for the star," followed on December 17 by Camille.18 Described as an eminent Austrian historienne, Mme. Janisch possessed a most impressive sounding European theatrical background. Her debut had been made at the age of fifteen. Two years as juvenile lady at the Theatre Royal in Berlin and attend- ance at the Theatre Thalia, a Hamburg dramatic school, fol- lowed her debut. On her return to Vienna she appeared in the classic heroine roles from Goethe, Schiller, Sardou, Augier and Dumas. Most recently, Mme. Janisch had learned English from June to September of 188h in order to appear at the New Park Theatre in New York. As an appeal to style- conscious ladies, it was mentioned that she would wear dresses by Worth of Paris Which were not to come out until the next season.19 Even on so grand an occasion as the inaugural of the new Academy of Music the Courier's reviewer did not feel called upon to mask his critical vision. Although he heaped praises on the beauty and magnificence of the new theatre, he found the play and its star not very impressive. He labeled the play, Leonore, an adaptation of a story already familiar to the audience and an unsuitable vehicle for Janisch. Of Mme. Janisch he withheld judgment of her dramatic talent because of the play's unsuitability, saying only that her articulation 18Ibid., no. 194, Dec. 7, 188k, p. 6. lgIbid. SO was rather painful. His concluding statement was a gem of negative suggestion: "Demonstrativeness on the part of the audience was not noticeable to any great extent."20 Mme. Janisch had not had her full say in Leonore, however, for her performance in Camille the following night caused the critic to reverse himself completely. He hailed the Janisch Camille as a performance never excelled in Saginaw. The lady must have impressed him, for he fairly glowed in his statement that "Her loving nature shines out through the dark clouds of despair." Mme.'s wardrobe from Worth's of Paris drew its share of praise and had apparently im- pressed the ladies of Saginaw. Of special note was a $60,000. necklace presented to fime. Janisch by the Austrian Diplomatic Corps and worn by her in the fourth act of 933‘ illg, Finally, the Academy's manager, Samuel C. Clay, con- cluded the affair of the theatre's opening with his quote, "Now let thy servant depart in peace, for mine eyes have seen the fulfillment of my dearest wish."21 With the Opening of the new Academy the season pro- ceeded at a brisk pace. On Saturday, Deceflber 20, follow- ing the Opening, the dramatic attraction was Harry Lacy's Planter's Wife with Lacy, Edna Carey and Sidney Drew in the cast. Of itself the play was probably not noteworthy, but the plot summary which appeared in the advertisement for it seems a classic of nineteenth melodrama: 201bid., no. 202, Dec. 17, 1881, p. 6. Zligl§., no. 203, Dec. 18, 188h, p, 6, 51 "Act I - The Garden, Graham Estate, Arrival of Graham and the prisoner, the meeting of Edith and Blake, Edith's plea for life, Wedding Bells, 'Until Death do us part.‘ Act II - Four weeks later, Livingston's story of Flo- rence Merrick, Graham's doubts and fears, the reflection in the mirror, Edith and Livingston face to face, Edith's de- fiance, 'Tell him I am ready', Graham's danger, Edith's sac- rifice.

As with the first Academy, reviews of the performances often mentioned large and enthusiastic audiences. All of the features were well advertised and were always given at least token mention in The Courier following their appearance. Of these many appearances, of course, there are a few that stir a special interest because of the prominent names they brought to Saginaw. New Year's Day of 1887 was made a rather special hol- iday by the appearance of Minnie Maddern in Caprice. 22.2222." Vol. XVII, no. 216, Jan. 2, 1887, p. k. 52 The play by Howard P. Taylor was rated a romantic and well- constructed drama and very well fitted for the star's tal- ents. As Mercy Baxter her performance showed an original style of acting and a conception of the role thoroughly in 23 accord with the author's ideas. Miss Maddern played in Saginaw many times as Minnie Maddern and in later years as the famous Mrs. Fiske. Lawrence Barrett, another player very popular with the Saginaw audience, appeared at the Academy on March 9, 1887, in Rienzi. In reporting the performance, the review recog- nized the tragedy as an old one, but new to Saginaw. With Barrett in the cast the play had been much anticipated and was well attended by an audience which was very atten- tive and interrupted frequently to applaud Barrett's read- ings. "The familiar address to the Romans was masterly, and the culmination of the act made one of the finest stage 2A pictures of the evening." Praise was also given to the supporting cast, scenery and costuming. This particular tour was not without its darker moments for Mr. Barrett, however. A few days later an item appeared in The Saginaw Evening News which announced that in Grand Rapids Barrett's scenery and properties had been garnisheed for $12,592. by a Harry Gellig, Manager of the American Exchange of London. In 1884 Gellig had backed in the amount of $30,000. an Eng- lish tour of Barrett's, and now he wanted what was due him. 23Ipid., Vol. XVII, no. 216, Jan. 2, 1887, p. h. 2L‘ISaginaw Evening News, Vol. 6, no. 265, March 10, 1887, p.6. 1. 53 Fortunately, three prominent Grand Rapids citizens came to Barrett's financial rescue and enabled him to continue his .. 2V tour to Milwaukee. 9 Comic entertainers generally found a hearty reception in Saginaw. Pat Rooney was probably one of the best-known comics of his era and usually drew a large audience. On Harch 1h, 1837, Rooney a rived at the Academy and played Pat's Wardrobe to a nearly full house. Apparently this was a decidedly inferior offering, for the reviewer gave it a thorough drubbing. "Rooney himself was clever in the special- ties that have made him famous, but that was all in the 'Wardrobe' worth looking at. Miss Kate Rooney was loud but not clever, and the rest of the company would be more useful behind washtubs and sawbucks than on the stage. The alleged comedy in Which the company appeared cannot be put on the shelf too soon."26 Even so grand an actress as Mme. Helena Modjeska was not exempted from Saginaw's insistence on first quality produc- tions. Her appearance on March 17, 1887, in Schiller's Mary Stuart was apparently marred by another inferior com— pany. The evaluation of the performance is especially inter- esting since it dismissed Maurice Barrymore, father of the famed Ethel, Lionel and John, as an inferior talent. "T1 ne large audience at the Academy experienced a feeling of disappointment since the star was supported with but very 251pid., no. 269, March 15, 1381, p. A. 26Ibid., p. 6. 5A few exceptions by a very ordinary troupe. Modjeska was every inch the Queen. In her meeting with Queen Elizabeth her eloquent gestures, language and bearing showed her power as one of the best exponents of tragic art....The acting of Mr. (Maurice) Barrymore as Edward Mortimer whose advent had been heralded in Saginaw with a flourish of trumpets, fell woefully short of the ideal looked for. His peculiar Saint Vitus dance style of contorting his body in convulsive move- ments was almost painful to behold and marred the scenes between the Queen and himself. His reading was like the shouting of a plowboy. Mr. Barrymore should be relegated back to some obscurer part....Modjeska would receive a much warmer welcome if she were not handicapped with such weak support, for East Saginaw's critical audiences are ever ready to pay the highest tribute to her genius and histri- onic talents."27 Evidently Mme. Modjeska was not unaware of the weakness of her company and set about remedying the fault, for, of her next visit to Saginaw, the reviewer had this to say: "This favorite actress produced Shakespeare's Twelfth Night at the Academy last evening, and the large and fashionable audience sat throughout the five act comedy in a well-satis- fied mood. Modjeska as 'Violet' gave a charming, truthful, finished rendition of the character, delighting her hearers more and more in each succeeding scene and well sustaining the belief of her East Saginaw admirers that she is one of 27:hid., No. 271, Harch 17, 1881, Po 6° 55 the most painstaking conscientious actresses that yearly visit the Valley. The supporting company was unusually strong, evidently having been selected with great care by Mme.'s manager, as each character in the cast was remark- ably well sustained. The performance will be remembered with great pleasure."28 The very busy season of 1887-1888 also saw the Saginaw debut of a young actor in the play which was his first major success and which began a long and distinguished career. This attraction which ushered out the old year at the Acad- emy on December 30, 1887, was The Highest Bidder starring E. H. Sothern. Sothern's first Saginaw appearance aroused much interest because of the fame of his father, E. A. Soth- ! ern, the popular "Lord Dundreary’ of Our American Cousin. In reporting his performance the Saginaw reviewer recognized this kinship and the younger Sothern's promise in his own right. "A good-sized audience was in attendance at the Academy last evening to see the comedy, The Highest Bidder, in its production here by E. H. Sothern and the Lyceum Theatre Company. The performance was very meritorious, the well-written comedy being interpreted by an unusually good company. Because of his father's fame, Mr. Sothern was the object of much curiosity, but his acting was well received. His style is decidedly peculiar, differing de- cidedly from that of most other actors in his line, but it ’DO (.' QIbid., Vol. 7, no. 208, Jan. A, 1888, p. 6. S6 is evident his father was not correct when he said the young man would never make an actor. He is already one of much ability, which will be greatly enlarged by experience."29 Perhaps one of the most distinguished engagements in the Academy's history was the two-night appearance in May, 1888, of Edwin Booth and Lawrence Barrett playing together in Julius Caesar and Hacbeth. A resourceful reporter for The Saginaw Evening News, through the aid of Academy manager Sam Clay, maneuvered an interview with Booth. Contrasted with a modern celebrity-reporter interview it appears very meager indeed, but the interviewer seemed quite pleased with his brief conversation with the revered actor. In essence all that Booth revealed was that he and Barrett made it a rule not to be interviewed to avoid the extreme lengths to which the practice might be carried, that the Academy of Music was a beautiful theatre under excellent management and that he preferred to stay in local hotels on his stops rather than in his private railroad car where the surround- ings grew monotonous. Though the interview was not produc- tive of much information, the contact inspired the reporter to a quite lyrical description of Hr. Booth. "Then the noble-featured man turned aside with a courtly wave of the hand and departed to prepare for the rendition of the wily Iago. He is now fifty-three years old and looks it, with a pale cast of countenance, mobile flexible features with the 291818., Vol. 7, no. 206, Dec. 31, 1887, p. 2. S7 impress of genius in every line; in fact such a face once seen is never forgotten."30 Though Booth's aopearance was so impressive, his per- formance in Caesar did not evoke the same awe. In judging the Booth-Barrett appearance The News stated that the com- 1 nad been heralded with ”flourish of trumpets n31 pany's coming and glowing eulogies on America's greatest tragedians. The audience was described as the largest and most fashion- able of the season and very expectant of an exciting per- formance. Then the reviewer proceeded to commit "knowing ) heresy" by criticising the great Booth. Fis evaluation was 3 1 that Booth's Brutus was below nis usual standard and not worthy of his great powers. Booth anneared ill and tired, probably as a result of his weariness of travel on the very long current tour which was soon to end. He was only a T v 1 1 _- , .p . _ -- - , .2 ‘. snadow of himseli as anlet, a macro _inc C Q .nn. no v11 '. min ‘ '7 I «A -i. , l_ ._.-l *4 . . - \4 (D tre Saginaw audience.

The only real praise awarded in the review went to Charles Hanford as Hare Antony who was termed excellent and who, after his "eloguent peroratioz" over Caesar's body, received an ovation and was called before the curtain by an enthus- iastic audience. However, the general reaction was called one of disappointment. 30Ibid., no. 313, May 5: 1588’ >' 7' 31.-@124, no. 31's” may a, 1888, p. 7. 32Ibid. 58 In the ensuing seasons at the Academy the attractions continued to be the prominent theatrical names aid titles of the time. To give particular attention to each of these would be a much larger undertaking than is being attempted here. However, even the most superficial study could not overlook two actresses Who made their first appearances in Saginaw in 1892. These were Julia Marlowe aid the legend— ary Sarah Bernhardt. Miss Marlowe as Beatrice in Much Ado About Nothing came to Saginaw on January L, 1892. The Saginaw Evening fl§w§_in a column headed "From the Footlights" announced her coming performance with this very glowing comment. "Julia Marlowe is today regarded by the best dramatic writers in the country as the leading exponent of Shakespeare's dramas, and the most perfect actress the world has ever seen."33 A few days later in reviewing her performance as Beatrice The News joined Miss Marlowe's admirers. "Miss Marlowe is beautiful and charming. She endowed Beatrice with grace and vivacity....this is but her third season on the stage, and she gives great promise of an exceptional histri- onic career....though the audience bestowed applause spar- ingly, it was rather due to the close attention given to the play than from any lack of appreciation."3u 33Ibid., 11th year, no. 201, Jan. 3, 1892, p. u. l . 341b1d., no. 20L, Jan. 5, 1892. p- ho 59 Surprisingly, Sarah Bernhardt's visit to Saginaw was not as glowingly anticipated in the local newspapers as was Julia Marlowe's. In fact most of the coverage given to this grand lady of the stage seemed self-consciously to avoid any indication of being impressed by her. An advance item in The News announced that Bernhardt was to play at the Academy on March 10, probably in Tosca, though Cleopatra would have been preferred. Cleopatra, however, required too many "supes" for a one night stand. In Michigan she would play in Grand Rapids, Saginav and Detroit. Her plans could change, though, for she had cancelled her Minneapolis engage— ment because of a nervous prostration.35 When Bernhardt and Tosca were finally seen by the Acad- emy audience and The News printed its reaction, the rather churlish note persisted. The review recounted the story of Tosca, but regretted that it could not be fully savored be- cause it was entirely in French. On its merit the comment was, "The play, though pruned somewhat from its original presentation, cannot be said to have a healthful tone,‘ and of Bernhardt the reviewer said only, "Bernhardt is not handsome, "36 but in every line and movement she is an actress. Perhaps some of the implied resentment can be traced to a snall item which appeared on the same page. "Sarah will not return to Saginaw because the audience and income are not large enough. However, she did deign to hob-nob with Academy manager Sam C’-.- . ‘-." -- 1 0/ .. - r 201o1d., no. 260, Jarch 11, 1o92, p. o. 60 Clay over a bottle of wine."37 Out of deference to Sarah Bernhardt's enduring fame and glamor it seems appropriate to treat her appearance at the Academy as a sort of ultimate achievement. A great many notable stage stars in addition to those mentioned in this chapter played in Saginaw. However, the intent of this viewing was to select some of the most prominent of these famous players and to report the reaction of Saginaw theatre patrons to their performances. The succeeding pages list in chronological order the attractions which played both Academies of Music from 187h through 1900. 37Ibid. CHAPTER III A LISTING OF ALL ATTRACTIONS WHICH APPEARED AT BOTH ACADEMIES OF HUSIC This final section of Saginaw's theatrical history contains a chronological listing of the attractions which appeared at the two Academies of Music in Saginaw through 1900. The earlier Academy Opened on November 6, 1873, and continued in Operation until fay l7, ICCL, wxen it was closed, so that razing of the old Academy and construction of the new one on the sane site could proceed. During the autumn months of ICCh the Acadewy management used the Cernania Hall to house its offerings from September h, lCCh, to December 10, 188E. On December 16, 188h, the new Academy of Music opened its doors and continued in operation throughout the balance of the period covered in this study. The sources of the listings were The Saginaw Daily Courier which published continuously during the period covered in this study until July 1, 1898, and is designated in each listing by the initials SDC and the date and page number of the edition, and The Saginaw Courier-Berald Which succeeded The Daily Courier and is designated by the initials SC-H and the date aid page number of the edition. 62 November 6, 7 and 8, 1873, Holman English Opera Troupe, La Grand Duchesse, La Somnambula, The Bohemian Girl ISDC, Nov.’6, 1873, p. 3).
