Broadway as a symbol

Broadway is the street in New York that has come to symbolize live theater entertainment and musicals throughout the world. Today the area, known to tourists and theater-goers, stretches from W.41st Street, where the Netherlander Theater is located, up to W. 53rd Street's Broadway Theater. Only four theaters are located physically on Broadway, the Marquis at 46th Street, the Palace at 47th Street, the Winter Garden at 50th Street and the Broadway at 53rd. All the other legitimate houses are located east or west of this twelve block stretch.

Broadway Stars.

By the 1830's America was exporting stars to Europe. The first notable American actor to make a successful tour was Edwin Forrest, who at nineteen, had played Iago to Edmond Kean's Othello. Forrest's second tour of Great Britain, in the following decade didn't fare as well. He was hissed off stage. Though the disruption of his tour was a personal feud with a British actor, its results were well publicized in the American Press and his return to the American stage was received with populist fervor. This "personal feud" became an international incident and demonstration of class struggle in 1849, when the British actor in question was scheduled to perform at the Astor Place Opera House in New York. A riot ensued on the night of May 10th which was put down with troops and cannon.

Broadways first marquis.

In 1891, the first electric marquis was lit on Broadway. The theater was on Madison Square at the intersection of Broadway and Fifth Avenue at W. 23rd Street. The Flatiron Building now occupies the site. By midway through the following decade, the street blazed with electric signs as each theater announced its shows and stars in white lights. By the turn of the 20th Century the street had an entirely different look, with as many as sixteen theaters on Broadway itself and many others located on the side streets or other avenues. Broadway was much more than a mere twelve blocks. It started at 13th Street and wound its way a mile and a half up the Avenue to 45th Street, ending in the heart of Long acre Square. This first decade of the century also saw the construction of many theaters, most notably the New Amsterdam on 42nd Street in 1903, along with four others in that same year, that are still standing today.

Our Broadway.

The first decade of the 20th Century was both boring and transformational in the history of our Broadway Musicals. The seeds of that transformation go back to 1882, and the construction of The Madison Square Theater at 24th Street. The Mallory's, who had built the theater, had employed a young actor-manager from San Francisco along with two brothers from the lower Eastside to help manage the theater. David Belasco, who had the distinction of appearing on stage with another unknown child, Maude Adams, in San Francisco in 1877, was soon to become a playwright, theater owner and builder. The two brothers from the lower Eastside were, of course, Charles and Daniel Frohman. The first sign of the transformation occurred when producer Rudolf Aronson decided to build a theatre of his own. At the time, theatres were concentrated between Union Square and 24th Street.

Born at home at an A-Frame on Bodenburg Loop in the Butte.

Page #01

I was born in a humble setting inside an A-frame house that stills stands on the property located at 5860 s Bodenburg Loop.

There are three older sisters; Lara, Vanessa, and Jessica. One younger brother - Paul.

One of my earliest memories is of my brother Paul Brandon Sandvik born in 1980. My mother tells me when he was born that I became quite jealous and my temperament changed for the worse. I recall my younger brother and I arguing; over what I don’t remember. But he waited until I turned away and promptly bit me on the butt. This resulted in me balling my head off.

Not long after this Paul died from a complication of the Chicken Pox called “Rye Syndrome.” He was three years old.

In 1984 when I was six I was admitted into Butte Elementary School about two miles away on Plumley Road. I remember the first day; My father Kurt dressed me up in some snazzy clothes, and drove me to the school. He then directed me to stand by the flag pole for picture taking. My teacher was Mrs. Adams. I don’t remember her first name.

Starting in the first grade I began attending the Seventh-Day Adventist church school on Maud Rd. The teacher was Mrs. Brodis. My academic performance was exemplary for a seven year old. Unfortunately I did not play fair at recess.

learn how to control anger

One example is when a childhood friend Ryan Smith was teasing me in the mud out on the playground. I kept warning Ryan to stop, but he wouldn’t. Within moments I began literally beating the crap out of Ryan. Mrs. Brodis ran over and separated us. My first detention among many during grade school years! At the Adventist school, punishment was often served in the principal’s office. Or I would be kept on the sidelines to watch the other students play outside while I watched a timer count down 15 minutes. On countless occasions a very temperamental girl by the name of Cami Martin would go into a rage over minor incidents. Such as me calling her a bitch.

More often than not, this led to us both going to detention at the same time in the same room - In typical fashion I would continue instigating her anger in any way I could. It didn’t take much. She would give me a dead-stare, and within a second or two start yelling at me.

In third grade we changed teachers; To Mr. Roger Brodis, my former teacher’s husband and also school principal. A very good man I might add. Despite the fact that I caused him a great amount of stress. My instigative and violent behavior continued. This was largely because two of my other sisters; Vanessa and Jessica being present in the same classroom as I. Between my sisters and Cami, I spent much of that year in detention. Still I received good grades. My comprehension skills were very good.

One time after school, my mother and Mr. Brodis were talking together, most likely the talk was about my out-of-control behavior. I was being very brutal with my sisters and fellow students. If one of them made me mad I would just kick them - hard! Or it could have been a punch. I was very vindictive and intended to inflict pain. Too often this goal of mine was achieved.

And on that day, while my mother and the teacher were chatting, I made Cami mad by sneaking up on her while she was riding a rope swing. I took hold of the rope, and very fast ran around in a circle and let go. Poor Cami got Vertigo from the spinning that resulted. Again a blind rage came forth from her.

Cami yelled sharply at me “I’m going to tell Mr. Brodis Sean!”

I looked at her and said “oh yeah?” Then I proceeded to pick up a large stick and held her at bay from the school door so she could not accomplish her threat against me.

All of them are pretty good and accurate, I'd say; try to look at historical archives if you're looking for more, or go onto sites like http://www.s-gabriel.org/names/english.shtml which compile old English names.
