Bert Lahr: Encyclopedia - Bert Lahr

Bert Lahr, born Irving Lahrheim, (August 13, 1895 - December 4, 1967) was a Jewish-American comic actor. Fittingly born a "Leo", he is best remembered today for his role as the Cowardly Lion (and the farmworker "Zeke") in the classic 1939 movie The Wizard of Oz, but known during his life for a career in burlesque, vaudeville and Broadway. Dropping out of school at the age of fifteen to join a juvenile vaudeville act, Lahr worked his way up to top billing on the Columbia Burlesque Circuit. In 1927 he moved to Broad ...

Bert Lahr: Encyclopedia - Milton Berle

Milton Berle (born Milton Berlinger) (July 12, 1908 – March 27, 2002) was an extremely popular Jewish American comedian, whose career spanned vaudeville, radio, television, and film, but who made his biggest mark in television. His greatest success was as the headliner for Texaco Star Theater on NBC from 1948 to June 14, 1955 (also known as the Buick-Berle Show when Buick became its sponsor in 1953). Berle was originally one of several rotating hosts for the program, but was selected as the permanent emcee in the fall of 1948 ...

Bert Lahr: Encyclopedia - Vaudeville

Vaudeville is a style of multi-act theatre which flourished in North America from the 1880s through the 1920s. An evening's "bill" (or schedule of performances) could run the gamut from acrobats to mathematicians, from song-and-dance duos to trick high divers. Indeed, the scope of the presentations was unique in the history of American live performance: music, comedy, feats of athleticism, ...

Bert Lahr: Encyclopedia - Waiting for Godot

Waiting for Godot (sometimes subtitled: tragicomedy in 2 acts) is an absurdist play by Samuel Beckett, written in the late 1940s and first published in 1952. Beckett originally wrote Godot in French, his second language, as En attendant Godot (literally: While Waiting for Godot). An English translation by Beckett himself was published in 1955. The play is in two acts, and in both of them the tramps Vladimir and Estragon wait in vain by the roadside for Godot, with whom they (perhaps) have an appointm ...

The Cowardly Lion makes his first appearance in the book The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. He is the last of the companions Dorothy befriends on her way to the Emerald City.

Bert Lahr: Encyclopedia II - Shirley Temple - Film career

Born in Santa Monica, California, she starred in over 40 films during the 1930s. Even at the age of five, the hallmark of her acting work was her professionalism: lines memorized and dance steps prepared. Her films continue to enjoy popularity today, particularly among young girls. Temple began her career at the age of three, after being chosen from her dance class by a visiting director. Between the end of 1931 and 1933 she appeared in two series of short subjects for Educational Pictures. Her first series, Baby Burlesks, sati ...

Dorothy is an orphan from Kansas, raised by her Aunt Em and Uncle Henry.

Bert Lahr: Encyclopedia II - Estragon - Personality

Estragon represents the impulsive, simplistic side of the two main characters, much in contrast to his companion Vladimir's careful intellectualism and verbosity. He cares little for appearances, and is mostly concerned with eating and sleeping (much to Vladimir's chagrin). Due to his pessimistic outlook on life, he has abandoned all hope of any alleviation from their suffering, and regards "Godot" suspiciously. This is perhaps due to the fact that Estragon has far more to worry about. Of the two, Estragon suffers the most physically. ...

Bert Lahr: Encyclopedia II - Waiting for Godot - Interpretations

Beckett uses the characters' interaction to symbolise the tedium and meaninglessness of modern life, both major themes of the existentialists. Critic Vivian Mercier summed up the two-act play with the words "nothing happens, twice." Another critic, referring to the work's drawn-out scenes and scarcity of characters, summed up his review with a line from the play: "Nothing happens, nobody comes, nobody goes, it's awful!" Despite its essential bleakness, however, it has many moments of comedy, some of it recalling the deadpan slapstick ...

Bert Lahr: Encyclopedia II - Vaudeville - History

Vaudeville - Origin. Though often confused with variety, its generically distinct predecessor (c. 1860s-1881), mature vaudeville distinguished itself from the earlier form by its mixed-gender audience, usually alcohol-free halls, and often slavish devotion to inculcating favor among members of the emerging middle class. Its popularity grew in step with the rise of industry and the growth of North American cities during this period, and declined with the introduction of sound films and radio. The origin of the ter ...

In the early 1960s Orton began to write plays. He wrote his last novel in 1961 (Head to Toe) and soon after had writing accepted.

Bert Lahr: Encyclopedia II - 1960s - Events and trends

Many of the trends of the 1960s were due to the demographic changes brought about by the baby boom generation, the height of the Cold War, and the dissolution of European colonial empires. The rise in social revolution, civil rights movements, human rights movement, anti-War movements, and the Counterculture movement are only some of the characteristics that defined the 1960s. Many experts attribute the 1960s "counter-culture revolution" as being the result of the major social and political factors that rose in the 1950s like brinksmanship, ...
