Tonight's amusements: paratheatrical entertainment and the development of American drama
No full textThis project examines the effects of a variety of popular amusements on the development of American drama in the nineteenth century. These amusements, sometimes called paratheatrical entertainments, made up a significant portion of the chaotic entertainment landscape of the nineteenth century. It is my argument that the nineteenth century should be viewed as a paratheatrical era for American drama, and that we cannot properly understand the evolution of theatre in America without understanding its place within a system of available diversions, all of which were furiously competing for audience attention. This competition led to an explosion of genres and subgenres within American dramatic writing, and played a key role in shaping the specific trajectory of such theatrical events as the development of modern celebrity and the advent of American realist drama. I begin with the museum industry, most famously represented by P. T. Barnum. Barnum and his colleagues created a powerful entertainment apparatus in the urban centers of the northeast. The cheap, popular entertainment offered by museums presented a problem for playwrights and theatre managers, a problem that was solved by the invention of sensation melodrama. From there, I move to the medicine show, a form of amusement with a long history in America. The medicine show’s mix of low overhead and big promises helped to secure it a perpetual American audience. James A. Herne was able to recapture some of this audience by writing the spectacle of the medicine show into his own drama, resulting in an American realist theatre that was specifically indebted to the logic of medicine. My next chapter concerns the development of celebrity in American culture, and the indebtedness of that development to the rise of revival preaching. In particular, the American preacher Charles Grandison Finney, who preached to his congregation in a New York City theatre, played an important role in teaching audience members how to respond to a charismatic performance. Finally, I look at the Lyceum circuit, and the way that its persuasive performance style led to the development of argument drama, which is sometimes called moral reform drama.Ph.

Head (Figs. 1, 2): width 0.9 mm, length 1.1 mm; distance between antennal bases 0.51 mm; head spots yellow, anterior of apotome pale yellow, remainder of cuticle rich brown; head margins convex, markedly so posteriorly; cervical sclerites fused to postocciput; setae numerous, length normal, sockets raised; cuticle markedly corrugated and rugose (Fig. 3). Antenna: longer than labral­fan stem; total length 0.47 mm; distal article 0.13 mm; whole antenna markedly dark brown. Labral fan: fan stem light brown, hairy distally and posteriorly; 23 dark brown rays, 0.89 mm in length; 5–6 posterior rays finer than others, medial rays 0.02 mm wide; microtrichia 0.5 ray width, pattern of longer microtrichia with 7 subequal then two markedly smaller microtrichia between; ray apex extended. Postgenal bridge (Fig. 2): 7 times longer than cleft depth; yellow anteriorly. Postgenal cleft: essentially absent, except for small V­shaped notch. Hypostoma (Fig. 4): 17 teeth; prominent median tooth extended beyond others; sublateral teeth increased slightly in length laterally, but with tips in straight array; lateral teeth slightly longer than sublateral teeth; 1 paralateral tooth; 5–6 lateral serrations; 6 hypostomal setae per side. Mandible (Fig. 5): only apical tooth well developed; spinous teeth markedly developed; serration prominent, basal sensillum distinct. Maxilla: lobe rounded; palpus 4 times longer than width—markedly developed (Fig. 2). Mandibular phragma: extended ventrally to 0.3 depth of maxillary base. Abdomen: slightly amphora­shaped; posterodorsal cuticle not tuberculate, but with clear ovoid tubercles lateral of anal sclerite; sensilla trichoid, slightly elongated, sockets normal. Anal sclerite (Fig. 6): well developed and darkly pigmented; median region expanded laterally, well pigmented, markedly hirsute with distinct clear sockets; accessory sclerites extended anteromedially almost to anterodorsal arms of anal sclerite; ventral arms extended around posterior proleg, substantially so ventrally. Posterior proleg circlet of hooks: with 110 rows of hooks, 15–16 hooks per row. Rectal papillae: three, with small basal papillae.</p> <p> <i>Additional material examined</i></p> <p>None.</p> <p> <i>Etymology</i></p> <p>Named after Adelaide, daughter of D. Joy and F. Elliott.</p> <p> <i>Comments</i></p> <p> Superficially similar to <i>S. cataractarum</i> larvae, <i>S. adelaideae</i> differs noticeably in its enhanced head pattern and is perhaps the most colourful of all <i>Inseliellum</i> larvae, matched perhaps only by the head pattern of larval <i>S. arlecchinum</i> (Craig and Joy 2000). The number and arrangement of hypostomal teeth is similar to that seen in the <i>hirticranium</i> subgroup (Craig and Joy 2000) and is reminiscent of that seen in the <i>oviceps</i> group. The virtually absent postgenal cleft is also shared with the <i>hirticranium</i> group, as is the development of the anal sclerite. The apical teeth of the mandible are also similar to those of <i>S. hispidum</i>. Absence of tubercles on the abdominal cuticle is shared with larvae of <i>S. cataractarum</i> and the <i>hirticranium</i> subgroup, except that <i>S. adelaideae</i> possesses tuberculate cuticle just anterior of the anal sclerite. Although sharing numbers of synapomorphic traits with the <i>hirticranium</i> subgroup, <i>S. adelaideae</i> does, however, not show the diagnostic elongated head setae possessed by larvae of that taxonomic segregate. Still, with its complement of character states, <i>S. adelaideae</i> will no doubt, after more detailed phylogenetic analysis, be shown to be related to <i>S. cataractarum</i> and probably basal to the <i>hirticranium</i> subgroup.</p> <p> The type locality of <i>S. adelaideae</i> is the highest stream on the road that continues past and above Lac Vaihiria and through a tunnel to emerge in the Papenoo Valley. Fed by a small cascade the stream flows though dense vegetation before emerging (Fig. 27) into sunlight, then crosses the road to plunge some 200 m down into the Lac Vaihiria Valley. With air temperature at 21° C, water temperature was 18° C, pH 8.4, and conductivity 50 µS. Water velocity was 76–98 cm /s and depth ca. 30 cm.</p> <p> This small stream is unusual in the complement of species collected. Cascade­dwelling species (<i>S. cataractarum</i>, <i>S. dussertorum, S. fossatiae</i>, <i>S. oviceps</i>) probably originate from the cascade immediately upstream. Larvae of <i>S. lotii</i> and <i>S. malardei</i>, typical of smaller streams at lower altitude, were markedly larger than normal. <i>Simulium cheesmanae</i> adults were captured while trying to bite the author.</p>Published as part of <i>Craig, Douglas A., 2004, Three new species of Inseliellum (Diptera: Simuliidae) from Polynesia, pp. 1-18 in Zootaxa 450</i> on pages 3-6, DOI: <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/157955">10.5281/zenodo.157955</a>
