Stage Notes From The December Way Light Magazine
In December Way Light notes a bustling theater week with new plays from San Francisco to New York. Madame Calve’s Carmen in New York, Max Freeman taking over Mandarin stage management, and General Henck released as Walker Whiteside’s manager are highlighted, alongside a surge of operas and dramatic ventures in major locales. Bids in New York bring in antiquities at auction, and touring figures like Lavin Nordica, Roland Reed, and Nestor Lennon are active. Hamlet’s staging with Booth’s company remains a talking point amid a spectrum of company movements and premieres.

London engagement at the Adelphi with Rah Terohardt
Rah Terohardt opens a London engagement June 21 1997 at the old Adelphi theatre noted for its faded class and recent redecorations. The piece includes a Sardou duet scene with Bernhardt. Jessie Bartlett Davis avoids singing on her husband’s birthday anniversary and observes the three blue Mondays superstition. James ONeill reportedly fights a wild eagle near Anaconda Montana to rescue a boy, while Thomas W Keene cites heavy applicant numbers for stage positions.
