Summary
DescriptionBrandon Tynan arms raised during a performance in support of the Actors' Equity strike of 1919.jpg |
English: Brandon Tynan arms raised during a performance in support of the Actors' Equity Association strike of 1919. The performance was done in August 1919 at the Lexington Avenue Opera House and was used to raise funds for the Actors' Equity strike. In the picture, actor Brandon Tynan gives an adaption of Marc Antony's address to Roman citizens at the funeral of Julius Caesar:
"Friends, Brothers, Sisters, Countrymen, lend me your ears. I come not to bury Equity but to praise him. The evil that men do lives after them. The good is oft interred with their bones. Not so with Equity.... "Behind us we have more than five million men and women. The ship of hope--the American Federation of Labor. [The mob cheers.] "Now, dear public, our great public. You have always stood for justice. You have always been just to us and we have always tried to be just to you. Will you stand up and show that you are with us, and join us in our cry of EQUITY! EQUITY!!, EQUITY!!!" The crowded house sprang to its feet as the actors onstage threw back their heads, stretched out their arms, and thrilled to their cry of faith, with the audience joining in. (New York Call, August, 1919)[1] |
