She began in theatre in 1893 in New York when she was cast in Francis Wilson's popular play Erminie. She was thereafter successful in the operetta brand of musical theater. She was the star or co-star of The Belle of Mayfair (1906) co-starring Valeska Suratt, Miss Hook of Holland (1908) with Bertram Wallis and The Mikado (1910) with Fritzi Scheff. In 1910 she starred in one of her best known musicals The Spring Maid by Victor Herbert. In 1913 she popularised Herbert's Sweethearts. MacDonald made several gramophone records before retiring in 1920. She was married first to William W. Jefferson, a son of the famous actor Joseph Jefferson, in 1901 and ended in divorce several years thereafter. In 1903, Miss MacDonald conceived a child with prominent theatrical promoter and New York State Senator, Timothy Sullivan who was soon placed in the New York Foundling Hospital.[citation needed] Miss MacDonald did not make any stage appearances until 1904. In 1911, Miss MacDonald married Henry L. Gillespie, the scion of a wealthy Pittsburgh contracting family and had one daughter, Christie. As of 1950 MacDonald was living with her daughter and grandchildren in Westport, Connecticut. Christie MacDonald died in Fairfield, Connecticut on July 25, 1962. (wikipedia) Reinald Werrenrath (August 7, 1883 / September 12, 1953) was an American baritone opera singer, who also recorded popular songs and appeared regularly on radio in the early decades of the twentieth century. He was born in Brooklyn, New York, the son of George Werrenrath, an operatic tenor born in Denmark. He studied at New York University, and made his operatic debut in 1907 in Die Meistersinger. He also recorded for Edison Records in 1907, before a long recording career with Victor Records. He sang on several hundred Victor recordings between 1906 and 1929, both as a soloist and as part of vocal ensembles such as the Orpheus Quartet. His most commercially successful recordings included "As Long As The World Rolls On" (1907), "Hello Frisco!" (from "Ziegfeld Follies of 1915"), and "Smilin' Through" (1919).Werrenrath made his debut at the Metropolitan Opera in 1919, in Pagliacci, in a cast that also included Enrico Caruso. He also toured widely, and made over 3,000 concert appearances. He was one of the first singing stars to appear regularly on radio, notably on radio station WEAF in New York. In 1930, he made a private recording of Christmas greetings accompanied by Harpo Marx and others. In 1932, he became a member of NBC's music staff, and in later years devoted himself mainly to teaching, at the Peabody Conservatory in Baltimore, Maryland and elsewhere. He also ran a regular summer music school at Chazy Lake, New York. He was married three times. He died in 1953 in Plattsburgh, New York, after suffering a heart attack while at Chazy Lake. (wikipedia) Sweethearts is an operetta or musical play in two acts with music by Victor Herbert, lyrics by Robert B. Smith and book by Harry B. Smith and Fred De Gressac. The first performance of the work was at the Academy of Music in Baltimore in March 1913, after which the show was overhauled and shortened before spending five weeks in Philadelphia and another five in Boston tryouts. The original Broadway production opened at the New Amsterdam Theater on September 8, 1913 and transferred to the Liberty Theatre on November 10, 1913 running for a total of 136 performances. The original cast included Christie MacDonald as Princess Jeanne/Sylvia, Thomas Conkey as Prince Franz, Edwin Wilson as Lieutenant Karl, Frank Belcher as Petrus Von Trump, Tom McNaughton as Mikel Mikeloviz, Ethel Du Fre Houston as Dame Paula, and Hazel Kirk as Liane.

Oper Dortmund - Spielzeit 2012/13 FUNNY GIRL Musical von Jule Styne Koproduktion mit dem Theater Chemnitz und dem Staatstheater Nürnberg Schon als junges Mädchen wusste Fanny Brice, dass sie auf die Bühne gehörte. Das Kind jüdisch-ungarischer Einwanderer erfüllte sich den amerikanischen Traum, indem es voller Ehrgeiz und mit viel komischem Talent zunächst die New Yorker Vorstadtbühnen eroberte, um schließlich der Star der Ziegfeld-Follies zu werden, jener legendären Broadway-Revuen von Florence Ziegfeld jr., die mit ihren prächtigen Ausstattungen und der Erfindung der „Chorus Line" zum Inbegriff der Broadway-Shows in den Goldenen 20er Jahren wurden. Während sich Fannys Karriere plangemäß entwickelte, wurde sie im Privatleben vom Pech verfolgt: Drei Ehen sollten im Laufe ihres Lebens scheitern. Doch Fanny Brice fiel immer wieder auf die Füße und schöpfte Kraft aus der Liebe zu ihren beiden Kindern, die sie mit ihrem zweiten Ehemann, dem eleganten Spieler und charmanten Betrüger Nick Arnstein hatte. Nach ihrem Tod 1951 kam der Produzent Ray Stark auf die Idee, das tragikomische Leben seiner Schwiegermutter als Musical auf die Bühne zu bringen: Ein schillernder, exzentrischer Star des amerikanischen Showbusiness, der seine Liebe zu dem kultivierten Playboy Nick ständig vor sich und der Welt rechtfertigen musste. Als Komponist für das ehrgeizige Projekt konnte Jule Styne gewonnen werden, der sich bereits mit Gypsy oder Blondinen bevorzugt einen Namen am Broadway gemacht hatte. Die Uraufführung von Funny Girl 1964 in New York war eine Sensation. In der Titelrolle debütierte die erst 21-jährige Barbra Streisand, die damit über Nacht berühmt wurde und die Rolle der Fanny Brice auch in der legendären Verfilmung, mit Omar Sharif als Nick Arnstein, interpretierte. Das Musical Funny Girl ist inzwischen zu einem Klassiker des Repertoires avanciert, dessen Songs, etwa „I'm the greatest Star", „Don't rain on my parade" oder „People", zu Standards geworden sind, die auch unabhängig vom Bühnenstück immer wieder neu interpretiert werden. Musicalspezialist Stefan Huber wird die Regie von Funny Girl übernehmen. Sowohl er als auch seine Ausstatter Harald Thor und Susanne Hubrich dürften dem Dortmunder Publikum von ihrer überaus erfolgreichen Evita-Produktion noch in bester Erinnerung sein.

Coward Grosvenor Cochran Sari Hale Matthews Ziegfeld Napier Butler Jeanette Macdonald Nelson Eddy Ziegfeld Theatre 1917 1929 1930 1933 1941 1982
Act 1 Scene 1: Lady Shayne's house in Grosvenor Square in the persent day. Film of the original London production of Noël Cowards Bitter Sweet, produced by Charles B. Cochran and at this time, starring Evelyn Laye. The material is shot from a stationary camera position showing the whole stage set. The film material used for these clips is from unedited footage in the British Pathé archive. It is a wonderful piece of treasure in that it shows lengthy scenes and musical numbers from Noël Cowards operetta Bitter Sweet, directed by Coward himself and produced by Charles B. Cochran at His Majestys Theatre, London on 12 July 1929. It would appear from the Pathé footage that Evelyn Laye is playing Sari (Peggy Wood had dark hair), which suggests that the film must have been made some time after November 1930, although Pathé dates the film as 1929. In my cast lists, I have assumed that the other cast members were from the original production, however, during the London run other actors took over certain roles, and the quality of the film makes it almost impossible to discern who may be playing who. The film is silent, and scenes are randomly spliced together, not in order. I have re-edited the material, into correct scene order (I appeared in a production of the show myself back in 1982) and for accompaniment have attempted to use contemporary and or relevant recordings from the show. Although Coward intended the role of Sari for Evelyn Laye, she was angry with Cochran at the time, as her then husband Sonnie Hale (brother of Binnie) was having an affair with musical comedy star Jessie Matthews. Laye refused to work for Cochran as she felt he, by pairing Hale and Matthews in three successive shows, knowing of their relationship, was partly culpable for the break up of their marriage. The role of Sari was therefore played by American Peggy Wood (who had starred in the original production of Rombergs Maytime on Broadway 1917, (and is known to later audiences as the Mother Abbess in the film of The Sound of Music). Evelyn Laye buried the hatchet with Cochran and later in 1929 starred in the Broadway production of Bitter Sweet at the Ziegfeld Theatre. In 1930, she returned to London to take over the role from Peggy Wood people queued for twenty six hours outside His Majestys to see her. Of Layes New York appearance Coward commented: She played as though she were enchanted. Early on in the ballroom scene she conquered the audience completely by singing the quick waltz song Tell me, what is Love? so brilliantly, and with such quality of excitement, that the next few minutes of the play were entirely lost in one of the most prolonged outbursts of cheering I have ever heard in the theatre. Peggy Wood, George Metaxa and Ivy St Helier, from the original London Production, recorded songs from the show at the small Queens Hall on 27 August 1929. Ten years later, Evelyn Laye recorded two songs from Bitter Sweet, and there are also her acetate recordings from a radio broadcast of Bitter Sweet. Bitter Sweet was filmed in 1933 by Herbert Wilcox as a vehicle for his wife Anna Neagle, and included the following actors from the original stage production; Ivy St Helier, Clifford Heatherley, and Alan Napier (latterly famous as Alfred the butler in the 1960s Batman series) Metro filmed it in 1941 in Hollywood with Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy. Of the latter Coward opined: After Metro-Goldwyn-Mayers dreadful film I can never revive Bitter Sweet a pity I was saving it as an investment for my old age.
