cabinet card portrait of miss julia neilson as nell gwyn and mr. fred terry as charles ii in a scene from sweet nell of old drury, at the haymarket theatre, 1900. the photograph features a scene in which neilson (gwyn) is shown kneeling at the feet of terry (charles ii) who is shown in profile, seated in a chair. he is sitting with his right elbow resting on the arm of the chair, and his gaze is directed downwards towards neilson, who is looking up towards him .

nell' s origins are disputed, but many believe she was born and raised in the drury lane area where her mother ran a brothel. when charles ii came to the throne, theatre had been banned for some time as a frivolous pastime, but the king restored it. charles authorized two different acting companies, one of which became the theatre royal on drury lane. nell worked at the theatre where she became a member of the troupe. from there she mingled with society' s upper echelons, ran through a series of affairs, and ultimately ended with the king. so, the theatre has a bit of royal history to it. :) anyway, nell of old drury, the pub not the prostitute, had a great view of all the excitement and shared some candid snaps :

among many similar episodes of her life there was none that called for more self - sacrifice than this one. she helped the man she loved to win another woman. nell gwyn may have had as many faults as virtues, but it is her virtues that have endeared themselves to the english people, and it was surely nothing but her good, true heart that claimed for her the last thoughts of the dying king as he charged those around his bed

a character on the stage in order to reach the affections of the masses must possess some peculiar fascination. with sweet nell it is undoubtedly her warmhearted sympathy, and no more tender picture has been seen on the stage than miss julia neilson' s delightfully winning impersonation of the erstwhile orange girl .

early in 1928 hastings lynn, brother of celebrated british farceur ralph lynn, starred in two famous ben travers farces, a cuckoo in the nest and thark. apart from seasons by leon gordon and muriel starr, the year also saw the return of william anderson, who presented a new play, the rudd family, and an old melodrama, while london sleeps, starring his daughter, mary and his wife, eugenie duggan. anderson tried again in july 1929, but the time for stage melodrama had passed, with sound films now beginning to afflict all forms of live theatre. anderson' s season petered out after a few weeks and even the once great nellie stewart, whose revival of sweet nell of old drury had transferred from the comedy on 11 may, had her next play, trilby,' deferred' .

four weeks will be devoted to some of the plays in which nell performed. we will look at the plays as a whole and study her roles within them. in this unit, we will study performance practice of the period, including thomas betterton’s history of the restoration stage. we will certainly make reference to our earlier reading about nell’s performances that we covered in the first unit. we will deepen our consideration of the first english actresses and the way in which the “breeches” part functioned dramatically, comparing nell’s career to that of other actresses of the period .
when augustin daly died in 1899, rehan deserted the stage for an entire year. she returned with a production of
sweet nell of old drury
and a tour that revived some of her classic roles from her career with daly' s company. however, the staleness that rehan' s performances had become susceptible to as the 1890s wore on was even more evident in these post - daly productions. in a letter to william winter, rehan wrote ,
i am very indifferent toward the future. if i ever go on again with my work, i fear it will be more of the machine than the artiste .
after a few more poorly received attempts, rehan permanently retired from the stage in 1905 at the age of forty - eight .

in its current form, one third of the course is largely devoted to the most general context and plays of the restoration, and the majority of the course is devoted to nell gwyn (although i would cover some of this material in the earlier units as well). it would be equally possible to modify the course to serve as a four - week unit in a restoration drama course. one week of such a unit would be devoted to the biographical and pictorial materials, and then an instructor could cover two or three of the plays in which nell gwyn starred, using the kind of detailed dramatic study outlined below .

she was rich, yet she gave lavishly to the poor; no old friend of hers went away empty. she was often imposed upon and she knew it, but none suffered because of that. 0ver charles nell gwyn had a considerable influence, and she was not averse to using this for the benefit of those whom she considered unjustly treated. for sir roger fairfax she had a strong liking, almost a passion, but to give him the joy of winning the lady of his heart, the lady olivia vernon, she stifled her own feelings, and, at the risk of the terrible vengeance of jeffreys, she defied him in the presence of the king, revealing the plot that would have cost fairfax his life .

the following ideas for creative responses are meant as starting points for your imaginative engagement with nell gwyn and restoration culture. the sky is the limit; feel free to come up with your own topic .
a. example of a dramatic study: dryden’s an evening’s love, or, the mock astrologer (1668) nell gwyn, donna jacinta each student will complete in - depth studies of two plays; these responses will be posted on the blackboard or web site for other students to use as a resource. each scene study will be worth 15% of the final grade (and will be marked on quality and detail of response, including depth of research). this is a sample play study for an evening’s love, where the questions are divided into two parts. the first section asks the students to think about the play as a whole (perhaps comparing it to other works on the syllabus). the second section asks students to focus on gwyn’s role in the performance specifically. b. student presentations on nell gwyn’s posterity [ assignment handout ] each student will pick one biographical or creative work about gwyn from the enclosed list. using some of the topics on the sheet, they will do a 20 - minute presentation for the class about nell gwyn’s portrayal in posterity. c. creative response [ perhaps will be made into a “nell gwyn web page” ]

ideally, students will conceive of themselves as detectives trying to piece together gwyn’s life and seeking to position her in reference to her social and political context. the course allows for a broad - based cultural studies approach, where we will be combining the literary texts (like satire or drama) with research into some of the material and cultural artifacts of the period. along with written materials, we will look at depictions of the house in pall mall that nell gwyn was given by charles ii, accounts of gwyn’s elaborate silver bedpost, and visual depictions of royal mistresses by artists such as peter lely .
it was during one of the king' s visits, with a party of hot - headed young rakes from his court, to the old theatre that he first saw nell gwyn. struck by her beauty and natural charm, he talked to her, and she, not knowing who he was, found occasion to utter a few plain truths concerning the king, his government, his friends, and his life. her mimicry of lord jeffreys, for whom charles had no deep love or true regard, and her frankness in speech were irresistible to the king, and to her utter consternation he declared his identity and promised her a part in the next play at the theatre .
the final unit will take place in the eleventh to thirteenth weeks of the course. this unit will be devoted to student presentations comparing two biographies of gwyn, or reporting on fictional portrayals of this actress. as a figure who has been well - sketched in biographical accounts, nell gwyn’s life has been a flashpoint for speculative and imaginative engagement as well as continued scholarship. through an exploration of this varied material, students will consider how post - restoration audiences have constructed the restoration period and nell herself. how have different historical moments viewed her? finally, since gwyn is a continued source of cultural production and speculation, students will produce their own creative response. they might write their own “panegyrics to nelly” or fill in some “missing dialogue” from her plays. they might pretend to be one of her many rivals, and write her a poison pen letter; they might write some notes from the point of view of a twenty - first century comic actress admiring her great predecessor. such imaginative engagement will be a useful means of reviewing the work we have done all term. we will discuss the way in which our knowledge of gwyn’s life is necessarily limited by the paucity of the historical record and the biased nature of the sources. the life of aphra behn might prove a useful comparison here .
the first theatre built here was the king' s, designed by the noted theatrical architect william pitt jnr, who also retained a financial interest in the property. this' drury lane of australia' was a three - level house consisting of stalls, dress circle and gallery to seat a total of 2200. decorated in a style dubbed' modern french renaissance', it was built in 1908 in just over five months at a cost of more than £32, 000. three arched entrances led into a vestibule with a black and white marble floor, a tricolored marble dado and a dress circle staircase of solid white marble .

whatever may be the shortcomings of english motion picture producers. if they can put together other pictures as simply and with as much dramatic effect as this story of nell gwyn they should have no difficulty obtaining a showing for them anywhere. the story moves quickly and surely, with nothing to strain one' s credulity, and the acting of miss gish and randie ayrton, who takes the part of charles, is excellent. so is that of juliette compton as lady castlemaine. the immorality of the period is suggested without being offensive, and for the second time this summer a good picture has not been spoiled by prudery .

reported of the 12 october 1912 reopening. the £5000 remodelling included ‘comfortably upholstered chairs to the number of 1700… two boxes have been added to the dress circle, and the seats in the wings of that part are so placed as to face the stage directly. the latter has been lowered to provide a better view. an electric numbering device for indicating the turns is the first of its kind in australia. ’ the old minstrel ‘first part’ had been abolished but the opening programme included an appearance by ‘mr john fuller, father of mr ben fuller, the present managing director, who sang donizetti’s ‘summer night’ with which he pleased gaiety audiences 22 years ago. ’

1. how does this compare with graham hopkins' s nell gwynne (2000) and derek parker' s nell gwyn (2000)? what might account for the differences? 2. how scholarly is the book? (if it is a biography or non - fictional work). what kind of sources does it use? 3. does the author offer a justification or explanation for his or her interest in gwyn? what is the overall purpose of the book? 4. what is the general attitude of the book toward gwyn? charles ii? other figures? 5. if you didn' t know when this book about gwyn was written, could you guess? how does its historical moment affect the type of portrayal we see of gwyn and her times? 6. what is the attitude of the fictional or biographical work towards prostitution? what is the attitude towards the first actresses, the royal mistresses, or women in general? 7. are there any obvious errors in the work? 8. what kind of portrayal of the restoration period does the work offer ?
in 1935 she received the gold medal of the american academy of arts and letters, and when she and her husband appeared in'' the pirate'' in 1943, both were rewarded with the delia austrian medal by the drama league of new york for the best performance of the season .
the depression was now affecting all forms of entertainment, however, and with access only to second release or second rate product, roxy talkies seem to have faded away about mid december 1930 – under a texas moon, a warner brothers western with frank fay, being the last advertised attraction. the old theatre seems to have remained empty and abandoned after this until the closure and subsequent demolition of the bijou in mid february 1934, when memories of the gaiety’s ‘golden days’ were fleetingly revived while its remaining substance was being pounded to dust .
miss fontanne, slim, willowy, with a throaty contralto, excelled with lunt at high comedy, the kind of saucy wit characteristic of noel coward or s. n. behrman. it was the result of constant practice .

the gaiety occupied part of the same site as the bijou theatre, but lay at the front of this at street level and was separated from it by the victoria arcade. the gaiety was the last of melbourne’s theatres to have followed the 19th century custom of evolvement from a hotel - in this case, from the dining room of the palace hotel, which fronted the bijou’s bourke street site .

kate was on a roll tonight, also debuting kate spade tassel earrings. although she has been relatively subdued with her earrings over the past five years, kate favored all manner of busy and over - sized pieces before her marriage. these tassels kind of look like she snatched them from a lamp in the state apartments. they also remind me of something scarlett o' hara might have worn to meet rhett at the yankee jail or possibly something judith would have chosen for her little rendezvous with holofernes. point - - these are decadent and made to make a statement. they worked tonight at the storied drury lane, and for the occasional pop of personality, i' m up for them. but i wouldn' t want them to catch on too much .
kate middleton ?
speaking of complex history and layers of so - called knowledge. when you or the media use her former name, it is not just a matter of using a name that is commonly known for ease of reference - such as the word discussed above -
kate middleton
is a name that has associations of years of abuse in public forums - - - i don' t think i need repeat the hurtful press - promoted phrases used. this wasn' t possible, generic harm to an unknown reputation or sense of worth. the use of kate' s slander - associated former name is specific and individual. that sweet little boy may have used that name, but someone gave it to him. i am sure he was aware that the duchess was coming. yet he apparently used that name. he was hearing that name somewhere. i assume he was recorded on audio tape, but i still can' t believe it was used, especially in that circumstance. catherine is the royal patron of the organization that is helping his family and is the focus of the evening' s efforts; yet her non - royal, not - married name was used. i also can' t believe it was used in a bitter complaint about the use of names filled with harmful conscious and more subtle meanings... - - - - - what' s in a name, indeed .

nor was the focus of janes discussion about the woman centered on that aspect of her life. furthermore the alliteration was a stylistic touch - you are totally blowing one word of the whole post totally out of proportion .

on 11 june 1898 harry cogill’s ‘new federation minstrels and burlesque company’ reopened the gaiety (as it was called again) for a 14 week season. an interesting feature on the bills was ‘the biographe’ from 9 july, with a number of short films constituting a kind of forerunner of the newsreel; that first evening, for instance, a film of the grand national hurdle race at flemington was the attraction - ‘a picture will be taken of this event today and shown tonight’ .
