SUFFS Notes: So I've seen both the off-Broadway and Broadway version

2 years earlier, I experienced the Public version of Suffs (before Hillary Clinton and Malala Yousafzai got producer credits). I even own two press scripts.

The Broadway Suffs opening is "Let Mother Vote" and oh I did fell in love with this opening because of how well it established the Carrie's conservative formation and showed us just how seductive it can be. I also kinda miss the older version that opened with woman and non-binary performers dressed as anti-suffrage men making all these awful anti-suffs slogans. By dressing up as the patriachy, these women and non-binary actors really own the story. The Broadway version has less emphasis on ensemble anti-suffs.

Anyone who has seen the Broadway version know that President Woodrow Wilson (Grace McLean) can't stop singing about "Ladies" and their proper domestic place. Now the off-Broadway run has an comedic ironic payoff to this. President Wilson suddenly gets a chest pain, a stroke, and it is a silly moment (I remember the entire theatre laughing hard). We see a few blackouts of him suffering, and SUDDENLY COSTUME CHANGE, Grace McLean is standing there in a black dress, now playing First Lady Edith Wilson, who took up "Stewardship" when her husband was disabled by his stroke. So Edith starts signing some of his paperwork, ("tariff reform, YOUR FAVORITE") and she runs into a paper that says, "Support for Ratification of the Suffrage Amendment." The stage direction indicates she might be on the "verge of epiphany," and she wonders if she should support it, but then she's like "Absolutely NO!" and rips it. It's a funny way of indicating that just because a First Lady has a Presidential role, that doesn't mean she has empathy for women's rights.

I can see why they cut from the Public, but I do miss the silly transformation sequence of President Wilson‘s stroke and Edith Wilson’s stewardship. (Just cause a First Lady got handed power, doesn’t mean she’s gonna save you.)

One striking change is more conspicuous racial stratification in the cast whereas Aisha de Haas, a Black actor, played the white socialite/Tennessee mother at the Public. Light-skinned BIPOC play white characters, and the Broadway script/direction nods a little more when a dark-skinned BIPOC is in a white role.

For example, in the Broadway version, a Black Tsilala Brock plays the white Irish Dudley and President Wilson utters the lines, "honest for an Irishman!" to bring deliberate attention to the race-bent casting.

Also, the Filipino actress Jaygee Macapugay plays the white Mollie Hay. When Wilson says, "The south will never let ladies vote, let alone colored ladies, thank God," he condescendingly takes Mollie Hay by the waist and Jaygee scrunches this deliberately astonished expression at "colored ladies."

The Broadway version cuts out verses of an anonymous Chinese American suffrage who brought her baby to a march. So I went to the Broadway SUFFS with a Black woman seatmate (who never caught the older version) and she felt the musical didn't directly address other suffrage ethnicities outside of white women and Black women. Yes, there is a diversity of BIPOC people playing white suffrages in both versions (and other backgrounders of color are somewhat suggestive of unnamed suffrages of color who did exist), but now there's no longer a direct acknowledgment of Asian suffrages.

The Broadway did some good work to add a sequence of Inez Milholland (Hannah Cruz) working herself to the bone and exhausting herself across states, with a succession of banners signaling another location, leading to her tragic death. It hits way harder than the off-Broadway version (where Phillipa Soo played Inez).

The Broadway version of Suffs tightened some of the numbers. For example, "When We Are Married/If We Are Married" were separate private moments. The Broadway version combined them and juxtaposition the kisses between the heterosexual Dudley and Doris Stevens ("When We Are Married") with the clandestine lesbian Mollie Hay and Carrie Chapman Catt ("IF We Were Married").

Mollie and Carrie did not kiss in the older iteration. So the script goes from Mollie and Carrie "They want to kiss, but there are people around" to "both couples kiss." A moment where Mollie tells Carrie, "Carrie, it's getting late. Come upstairs" (a major hint of their relationship) was also not in the off-Broadway version.

On 15th October 1914 tragedy struck when HMS Hawke was sunk off the northeast coast of Scotland.

In 1914 HMS Hawke was part of the 10th Cruiser Squadron, a group of vessels deployed to blockade the area between Shetland and Norway. However, in October 1914, the ships had been ordered further south to protect a troop convoy of 30,000 men and supplies from Canada. It eventually reached safety.

The Germans, aware of ship activity in the North Sea, had dispatched two U-Boats on the 13th October; the U9 was commanded by Weddigan, famous for sinking three British cruisers, Aboukir, Cressy and Hogue, in one day, and U18.

Rear Admiral Dudley de Chair's flagship HMS Crescent put into Cromarty for re-coaling but, acutely aware of the submarine activity, he had given strict orders that ships in his fleet were to be 'kept well apart', to 'continually alter course' (zig-zagging) and to 'vary their speed'. Indeed, on that fateful day the vessels were in a line abreast formation, a ten mile interval between ships, and speed and direction was being varied.

HMS Hawke and her sister ship made a mistake. Hawke broke formation to pick up mail from HMS Endymion. It was a long process and the Germans, tailing the fleet, witnessed it all. It's always interesting to read first hand accounts, this if from one of the officers on U-9 as it stalked the ships that fateful day

"I gazed at the little picture of the upper ocean. The distant three cruisers (Hawke, Endymion and Theseus) were some wide space apart, but were converging, and were steering for a point, and that point was apparently in the vicinity where we lay. No wonder the Commander thought they must want a torpedo."

He went on.

"We imagined they were bent on joining forces and steaming together, but it presently became apparent that they intended to exchange signals, drop a cutter (small boat) in the water, and deliver mail or orders, and then go their respective ways. We steered at full speed for the point toward which they were heading, our periscope showing only for a few moments at a time"

Hawke and Endymion stopped dead in the water at 9.30 am and exchanged the mail. The other ships moved back on station; Hawke took longer, an additional 15 minutes to recover the cutter. She was the target selected, and at 10.30 am for the German submarine.

The officer again takes up the story

'we manoeuvred for a shot. ... She nearly ran us down. We had to dive deeper and let her pass over us, else we would have been rammed. Now we were in a position for a stern shot at an angle, but she turned. It was a fatal turning, for it gave us an opportunity to swing around for a clear bow shot at 400 metres. ... We dived beyond periscope depth, ran underwater for a short distance, and then came up for a look ... The Hawke had already disappeared. She sank in eight minutes. Only one boat was in the water. It was the mail dory that had been lowered before the torpedo explosion."

Why this ship sank so quickly is a matter of debate, though most writers suggest that the torpedo had struck the magazine. She apparently rolled over so quickly that boats could not be got off the sloping deck, hence many crew went down with her or spilled into the freezing North Sea to die.

524 officers and men died, although numbers vary depending on the source you read, including the ship's captain, Hugh P. E. T. Williams, with only 70 survivors (one man died of his wounds on 16th October, of the those sailors who lost their lives on the Hawke, 75 of them were 16 year-old boys.

Turns out I’m not great at caricaturing, but in this litigious age maybe it’s better to have NPCs inspired by vintage actors’ and movie characters’ vibes rather than actually looking like them

Dudley Moore as Arthur

Jimmy Stewart, but to be fair when he’s standing still he looks completely average, it’s when he starts talking with his hands and using that weird accent of his that you’re like “oh hey it’s Jimmy Stewart”

originally Doris Day but then when that didn’t work I tried Gidget

okay actually that does look a lot like Don Knotts

Suffs Broadway Review

 Inez Milholland, glamorous bohemian and radical lawyer, rode atop a white steed to lead the unprecedented 1913 March on Washington for women’s suffrage down Pennsylvania Avenue the day before President Woodrow Wilson’s inauguration.   Doris Stevens, another leading suffragist, met an aide to President Wilson, Dudley Malone, and so convinced him of her cause that he quit the Wilson…

The Westerner (William Wyler, 1940)

Cast: Gary Cooper, Walter Brennan, Doris Davenport, Fred Stone, Forrest Tucker, Paul Hurst, Chill Wills, Lilian Bond, Dana Andrews, Charles Halton, Trevor Bardett, Tom Tyler, Lucien Littlefield. Screenplay: Jo Swerling, Niven Busch, based on a story by Stuart N. Lake. Cinematography: Gregg Toland. Art direction: James Basevi. Film editing: Daniel Mandell. Music: Dimitri Tiomkin. The Westerner is something of a generic title, even for a genre film. I suppose it refers to Gary Cooper's Cole Harden, who is westering toward California when he's brought up short in Texas by some men who think he's a horse thief. (A horse thief sold him the horse.) Tried and sentenced under Judge Roy Bean's "law West of the Pecos," Harden manages to play on Bean's infatuation with Lily Langtry to con his way out of the predicament, only to be forestalled again by a pretty homesteader, Jane Ellen Mathews, played by Doris Davenport, whose career peaked with this film. She's quite good, but for some reason she failed to impress its producer, Sam Goldwyn, who held her contract. We are thick into Western movie tropes here: frontier justice, cowpokes vs. sodbusters, and so on. But what turns The Westerner into one of the classics of the genre is the good-humored attitude toward the material, displayed most of all in the performances of Cooper and Walter Brennan, whose Roy Bean won him the third and probably most deserved of his Oscars. But much credit also goes to that ultimate professional among directors, William Wyler, who doesn't condescend to the material but gives it a lovingly leisurely pace that allows his performers to make the most of it. And there's a screenplay that stays brightly on target from the moment Bean announces that "in this court, a horse thief always gets a fair trial before he's hung." Jo Swerling and Niven Busch got the credit (and the Oscar nomination) for the script, but some other formidable writers had a hand in it, including W.R. Burnett, Lillian Hellman, Oliver La Farge, and Dudley Nichols.

Suffrage Prison Special Speaking Tour 1919

79. From Prison to the People

The National Woman’s Party (NWP) was incredibly media savvy. In order to counter the articles painting the Silent Sentinels (Episode 71) as unpatriotic radicals, the suffragists who had been arrested and released went on a public speaking tour. The train itself was called “Democracy Limited” and the tour was named the “Prison Special”. (There had been a “Suffrage Special” train tour in 1916 also sponsored by the NWP.)  The 1919 “Prison Special” tour stopped at all major cities from the East Coast to the West Coast with a Southern outbound path and Northern return route. Over two dozen members of the NWP who had all been imprisoned took part by giving speeches and distributing literature during the tour which ran from February 15, 1919 through March 10, 1919. Several were still visibly weak from hunger strikes and having been force-fed.

Alice Paul planned the route and Lucy Burns led the tour. Because conservative Southern states were a main obstacle to a federal suffrage amendment, Southern cities were especially important to the tour. At each stop, the suffragists, dressed in their prison garb, fanned out over the city, and gave individual speeches about their experiences in prison including the “Night of Terror” (Episode 73) which personalized the fight for women’s rights. The general public could see these women as peaceful protestors who had been arrested for exercising their First Amendment right and unfairly abused during imprisonment. (Of course, publicity centered around the fact that these were middle-to-upper class white women who had chosen to go to prison for a political cause and were not the same as poor women or women of color who were the usual type of people being sent to prison.) At the end of the day everyone would meet up for the free mass meeting as a finale before hopping on the train to the next town. 

While some suffrage groups choose to distance themselves from the more militant tactics of the NWP, and not everyone welcomed the “Prison Special”, the tour was an overall success. It was considered vital to garnering public support for the passage of a national suffrage amendment in Congress and its subsequent ratification by ¾ of the states.

Participating suffragists in the 1919 tour were: Pauline Adams, Edith Ainge, Berthe Arnold, Lillian Ascough, Abby Scott Baker, Josephine Bennett, Lucy Gwynne Branham, Lucy Burns, Mrs. Palys Chevrier, Sarah T. Colvin, Lucy Ewing, Estelle Eylward, Gladys Greiner, Louisine Havemeyer, Mrs. Raymond Hunter, Mary Ingham, Willie Grace Johnson, Elizabeth McShane, Vida Milholland, Mary Nolan, Ella Riegel, Elizabeth Selden Rogers, Gertrude Shaw, Mabel Vernon, Amelia Himes Walker, Cora Weeks, Sue Shelton White, and Mary Winsor. 

Bonus:Suffragent, Dudley Field Malone, was also on the Prison special speaking tour as noted in the top left hand ticket on this week’s graphic. He was the lawyer who got the suffragists out of jail and in 1921 married suffragist, Doris Stevens, author of “Jailed for Freedom”.
