Why does all the info on a play I am looking at say it was staged at the 'theatre royal' with no further context. Do they know how many theatre royals there are. In 1671 the theatre royal was just the term they used for patent theatres this is so unhelpful

Dracula, May 12th: "Let me begin with facts—bare, meagre facts, verified by books and figures, and of which there can be no doubt....I had spent the day wearily over books, and, simply to keep my mind occupied, went over some of the matters I had been examined in at Lincoln's Inn." I see in this that Jonathan is trying to anchor himself in reality, the stability that comes from that which he knows is fact. "I doubt, I fear, I think strange things." " I start at my own shadow, and am full of all sorts of horrible imaginings." He knows very well that he's in incredible danger, but is still learning of what kind. Facts - bare, meagre, facts - something he already knows - can be trusted. Exhausted and frightened as he is, he spent the day going over what he studied and has great familiarity with: that which he knows is true, has spent time learning and memorizing before.

This NERD reading his Comfort Law Books that he’d studied for his exam just to keep himself sane.

I LOVE THIS NERDBOY

Louise Beavers

Louise Beavers (March 8, 1900 – October 26, 1962) was an American film and television actress who appeared in dozens of films and two hit television shows from the 1920s to 1960. She played a prominent role in advancing the lives of Black Americans through her work and collaborated with fellow advocates to improve the social standing and media image of the Black population.

Beavers was born in Cincinnati, Ohio to school teacher Ernestine (Monroe) Beavers and William M. Beavers, who was originally from Georgia. Her mother's illness caused the family to move to Pasadena, California.

In Pasadena, she attended school and engaged in several after-school activities, such as basketball and church choir. Her mother also worked as a voice teacher and taught her how to sing. In 1920, Beavers graduated from Pasadena High School. She then worked as a dressing-room attendant for a photographer and served as a personal maid to film star Leatrice Joy.

Beavers' acting career began as a member of the Lady Minstrels, a group of young women who staged amateur productions and appeared on stage at the Loews State Theatre. Charles Butler, an agent for African-American actors, saw one of her early performances and recommended that she audition for a film role.

Beavers was initially hesitant to audition for film roles because of the negative portrayal of blacks in film. She once said, "In all the pictures I had seen… they never used colored people for anything except savages." However, she won a role in the film Uncle Tom’s Cabin (1927) and went on to play stereotypical black roles such as those of a slave, a mother figure, a maid or domestic servant. With Claudette Colbert in Imitation of Life (1934)

After playing the role of Julia, the maid and mother figure to a young white woman, in Coquette (1929), Beavers gained more attention for her work and was able to transition to less stereotypical roles. Beavers played Delilah in Imitation of Life (1934), again in the role of a housekeeper, but instead of the usual stereotypical comedic or purely functional role, Delilah's storyline constitutes a secondary parallel plot in which her problems are given considerable emotional gravity. Some in the media recognized the unfairness of Hollywood's double standard regarding race. A contributor to California Graphic Magazine wrote: "the Academy could not recognize Miss Beavers. She is black!"

In 1936, Beavers married Robert Clark, who later became her manager. Beavers and Clark later divorced.

Beavers played the lead role in the film Reform School (1939), once thought to be a lost film, as a forward-thinking probation officer who becomes the superintendent of a reform school and implements major changes.

In the film Holiday Inn (1942), Beavers performed a song during a minstrel show number celebrating Abraham Lincoln's birthday. Because the number features Bing Crosby and others in blackface, some consider it racially offensive and it is often excised from television screenings of the film.

As Beavers' career grew, some criticized her for the roles that she accepted, alleging that such roles institutionalized the view that blacks were subservient to whites. Beavers dismissed the criticism, acknowledging the limited opportunities available but saying: "I am only playing the parts. I don't live them." As she became more widely known, Beavers began to speak against Hollywood's portrayal and treatment of African Americans, both during production and after promoting the films. Beavers became active in public life, seeking to help support African Americans. She endorsed Robert S. Abbott, the editor of The Chicago Defender, who fought for African-Americans' civil rights. She supported Richard Nixon, who she believed would help black Americans in the struggle for civil rights.

In 1952, Beavers married Leroy Moore, with whom she remained until her death in 1962. She had no children.

In later life, Beavers was plagued by health issues, including diabetes. She died on October 26, 1962 at the age of 62, following a heart attack, at Cedars of Lebanon Hospital in Los Angeles.

Beavers was inducted into the Black Filmmakers Hall of Fame in 1976. She was an honorary member of the Sigma Gamma Rho sorority, one of the four African-American sororities

✨Weekly Tag Wednesday✨

Thanks for the tags @mybrainismelted @deathclassic and @francesrose3 these questions are so fun @energievie!

Name: Jess

Age: A Nosho and a half

Location: Oh Canada, Our Flag Has a Leaf On It

And now, think about your childhood and tell me:

Did you have a nickname and is it still used? People called me variations of my last name. Or they sometimes called me Tuesday.

What did you want to be when you'd grow up? A writer 🥰

Your favourite cartoon: Xmen or Loony Toons *Meep meep*

Your favourite TV show: Weirdly The Price is Right. Or Sabrina the Teenage Witch maybe?

Your favourite book: I read so much even then so this is a hard question. HitchHiker's Guide to the Galaxy. The Hobbit. Lamb by Christopher Moore

Your favourite toy: I had a stuffed bear. I don't remember his name but he's in my storage closed right now.

Your favourite thing to eat: Much like Kat's Mom, mine couldn't cook and was always trying to make stuff healthy. So I loved other people's fun snacks. Fruit by the Foot was contraband in my house. Or McDonald's nuggets cause they were also banned.

Your favourite school subject: English

How did you spend your summers? I was a summer sleepover camp kid. It was nothing like Carl's experience. We'd canoe and swim in the lake. I learnt to sail. There was art and kissing behind the cabins. It was fun.

Did you listen to music? If yes, did you have a favourite band/artist? Yes. I've always loved music. I listened to Alannis Morrisette (my first album), Metallica, System of a Down, Lincoln Park, Eminem, Mariah Carey, Savage Garden and Spice Girls. My taste is still just as eclectic.

And lastly, tell me something you did as a kid that your parents still don't know about: I'd say I was going to sleep over at a friends and go to a raging bush party in the middle of the B.C. forest where'd we'd throw furniture in a huge bonfire and I'd sleep in my car. Still surprises me no one died.

Well that was a disturbing fun walk down memory lane!
