Notes:		Emanuel (Jimmy) Wax, from La Poudre aux Yeux by Eugene Labiche and E. Martin
Synopsis:		Dr. and Madame Malingear are perfectly satisfied with their pleasant, uneventful existence until it comes to their ears that their daughter, Emily, is seriously interested in a young man who has been an increasingly frequent caller. When confronted with a demand as to what his intentions might be the young man, Frederick, confesses his love. He also announces that his father is a retired businessman "of sufficient fortune." The Malingears are pleased but, at the same time, apprehensive that Frederick's family might find them not of an equal social or financial standing. When they learn that Monsieur and Madame Ratinois (the parents) plan to visit them incognito the Malingears decide to throw "dust in their eyes" with a vengeance. And so they do-with lavish extravagances they can't afford. Monsieur and Madame Ratinois respond in kind, and soon both families are near bankruptcy. Fortunately a kindly, level-headed uncle saves the day, and brings the lovers happily together at last.

Notes:		From 29� A L'ombre, by Eugene Labiche. (Authorized alternative title for 90� IN THE SHADE) A gay and witty study of what happens when one French gentleman comes upon another French gentleman kissing the first gentleman's wife.
Synopsis:		It is the custom of Hector Pomadour to invite his friends to his home on Sunday for lunch and skittles. On this occasion, one of them has run into another gentleman on his way and has invited him to join the group. Hector is delighted, as Adolphe Dumanoir seems to be a man worthy of cultivation, at least, that is, until he is caught hugging and kissing Hector's wife. This, of course, calls for satisfaction, and despite the summer heat a duel is decided upon-after Hector has been assured by his friends that the guilty party would never think of defending himself against the injured husband. When Dumanoir makes it clear that he has no intention of being so foolishly gallant the picture changes, and while Hector and the others huddle to discuss strategy Madame Pomadour and Dumanoir hatch a little plot of their own. He agrees to let Hector off with a scratch, provided that Madame P. gives him another kiss. This she does, only to be discovered again-and the outrage is aggravated. But Gallic ingenuity comes to the fore, honor is satisfied, and all ends in a spirit of jovial camaraderie.

Apart from very popular and world touring productions, many performing arts events are largely forgotten about in a matter of months. Traces may remain in various collections, but few collecting agencies, such as libraries, catalogue each flyer or program individually. Hence, unless one knows that an event took place at a certain time in a certain place, tracking down such an event as part of a research project is often a matter of chance. Where research needs to be carried out on high profile and well-documented productions only, this is not a problem. However, both the historian and the analyst will attest that the cultural, political, or sociological context in which a performing arts event takes place is also of major importance, as are the other events that took place in close proximity, either in place or time. A good overview of such productions provides us with a 'social document' that can greatly enhance cultural studies in ways that extend far beyond the narrow confines of theatre history. For instance, data such as this can be used to monitor the health of communities, particularly when used in association with data obtained from other social science disciplines. When one researches a particular playwright one might want to know about all the productions of plays by that author; if one wants to investigate what choices a particular audience had over a period of history and compare this to, say, an ethnic breakdown of the population, one would need to know broadly all the events that took place during that time. If one wanted to do a statistical analysis on the shift in popularity of a genre over one or more generations, it is important to have knowledge of most of the relevant major and minor performance events that took place. In this context, issues of aesthetic quality and the professionalism of a production - which will of course have an impact on such studies - are not the determining factors when deciding to include or exclude events, since all events are the raw material for such research.
