McKee Rankin burst upon the theater world in the 1860s. By the age of twenty-one, Rankin, a Canadian by birth, had become leading man at the Arch Street Theatre in Philadelphia, considered to be the best theater in the country. A matinee idol and a superb character actor, he formed one of the first combination companies to tour America. He wrote successful Western dramas, in which he and his wife, the famous Kitty Blanchard, created unforgettable characters. He built a theater in New York City and one in San Francisco where, in the 1880s, he created a nationally famous repertory theater. Persevering, intelligent, and dedicated, his passion for the theater brought him into conflict with the commercial attitudes of managers. Throughout his ups and downs, from riches to poverty, from handsome man to obese alcoholic, he continued to create great roles. When Rankin died in 1914, the brilliant innovations of this actor-manager, playwright, and director had changed theater forever. This thoroughly documented biography is also a lively story of one of the most important, but least known, periods of American theater, encompassing a wealth of information about great but forgotten actors, a fascinating account of the relationship between the stage and its audience, and several rediscovered, once famous, plays. Students of acting, historians of the theater, and those interested in the cultural development of a continent will find the book invaluable. All readers will be entranced by a world from which today’s entertainment emerged.

Rape and wife and child abuse are common news today. Their   distressing frequency make us question the safeguards and the very   nature of our society. Where have we gone wrong? Yet these crimes have   always been present in civilized societies. CHOCOLATE FOR THE POOR is a   fictionalized account of an actual event from 1805. Ephraim Wheeler, an   unemployed labourer, raped his 13-year old daughter in the Berkshire   Mountain community of Massachusetts. His trial and the reactions of his   family, friends, and the authorities to this rarely revealed violation   bring out the political divisions and varying attitudes of different   segments of the society. By looking back to a simpler community   struggling with the issue of rape, we are able to see the crime in the   round and judge the actions of the protagonists from the perspective of   our experience. Through the fears and suffering of Wheeler's immediate   family and the victim, Betsy, we see the terrible effects of the crime   on one side; through the investigations of Wheeler's defence lawyer and   Wheeler's radical friend, we discover Wheeler's past which accounts for   his action and for his defence on another side; and through the   manipulations of famous figures from Massachusetts' history such as   Governor Caleb Strong and Attorney-General James Sullivan we see the   public reaction and the political response on a third side.

MacAgy changed museums from mausoleums to happenings. He was on the cutting edge of modern art movements from American abstract expressionism to conceptualism. MacAgy fought as an independent educator against the forces using art for political ends. His friends were the great artists of his day, including Clyfford Still and Marcel Duchamp. Only his first wife Jermayne rivaled him as an installer of art. Canadian born, he was international in his influence. From a privileged student at the Barnes Foundation through innovative years at the San Francisco Museum of Art, as Director at the California School of Fine Arts from 1945-50 when he was the catalyst for the advent of American abstraction, as curator at MOMA, as the spirit behind the modern art movement in Dallas, as the interpreter of European art to America, to the head of the National Endowment for the Arts, MacAgy taught the public and shaped the culture.
