Front-Of-House Personnel: Introduction

Front-of-House Personnel are divided into three basic categories. The first of these, theatre management, includes names of those who played a major role in governing the Adelphi. The structure is basically hierarchical, beginning with proprietors and ending with orchestra leaders.

We have included whatever names we could find in the sources with their job titles, but users will see gaps in coverage; bills and programs frequently omitted names for no apparent reason. There is a temptation to fill them in by assuming there was little change over the years. A man who was ballet master in 1869, 1871-76, and 1878 was likely to hold the post in 1870 and 1877. The reader is at liberty to make this assumption; we must be guided by our researches

The second index, theatre functionaries, is a listing of every non-acting individual who worked for the theatre. Some regularizing of job titles has taken place, reducing them to about forty, but the daily calendar contains the wording found on the bills. Thus machinery is here rendered as machinist , but in the daily calendar it may appear as the former. The titles are given alphabetically. We have included some names and functions that were restricted to a particular piece or a visiting company. Thus an acting manager associated with a particular producer is indexed, even though he was not a member of the Adelphi Theatre staff.

Within each category, the division is by decade. The reader can tell at a glance who was composer in the 1820s or the 1840s. This approach was felt to be useful in giving an overall view of who was setting his stamp upon the house during a sustained period of time. It is particularly useful where lessees and proprietors are concerned. The user can see at a glance that the age of Ben Webster lay between 1853 and 1880. The daily calendar will be more specific about the exact date that Webster assumed and relinquished management.

The final index, theatre management and functionaries, includes all those who played a role in the operation of the theatre from proprietor to gas engineer. Each name is listed alphabetically. Next comes a shortened form of the job title within parentheses, followed by the first year of the season the individual held his or her post. It is worth noting that some people were very faithful in their duty. Godbee may have been costumer for almost forty years and William Perkins a scenic artist for twenty-seven.
