Mae West’s “Diamond Lil,” Bowing to Popular Demand, Books Autumn Dates at Don’t Tell Mama in Manhattan

September 1st, 2013 - 

New York, NY, August 31, 2013 –(PR.com)– Written in 1928 by Mae West, the stage play “Diamond Lil” has laced itself into a position of public awareness once again. Three events in August, that led to whoopee, winks, and ink in The New York Times, The Village Voice, The Brooklyn Courier, etc., lifted the petticoats of petulance from the attitudes of no less than 300 Manhattanites who have missed Mae West.

Stunning in her corsets and stupendous in her insouciant charm, actress Darlene Violette took the role of the Queen of the Bowery to the realm of full tilt boogie. And breaking with convention, the audiences interrupted each performance, cheering the cast often with applause so heavy that paint chips flaked off the ceiling.

Did you miss the merriment? Fear not. Those torso-tossing scenes of sin and sensationalism return to the red curtained realm called “Suicide Hall” this Fall. Come up sometime and reserve a seat.

Who, What, When, Where

See "Diamond Lil" This Autumn!
By popular demand, actress Darlene Violette — — and the wonderful cast who brought the Bowery denizens and Suicide Hall’s ne’er-do-wells to life — — will return in “Diamond Lil” for several evening performances at Don’t Tell Mama [343 W. 46th Street] on these dates in 2013:

7:00pm on Sunday November 17th

Strand Book Store Events

A Very Special Night with Musician Danny Ellis 7:00pm  Danny Ellis was a successful musician and songwriter who thought he had left behind his troubled childhood in Dublin's slums and orphanages. It was not until he was writing 800 Voices, the album that would bring him to widespread acclaim, that he came to realize those childhood memories, long buried, still haunted him. He set out to tell the story of his childhood and to reconcile himself to the part of him that had never escaped a childhood of abandonment and the harsh life within the Artane Industrial School. Inspired by his search to come to turns with his past Ellis wroteThe Boy At The Gate as a chronicle of his past and his search to come to terms with it. Called "beautifully written, heartbreaking story of betrayal, abandonment and the healing power of friendship and music" by Sara Gruen, The Boy At The Gate is eloquent, powerfully moving and surprising funny. Danny Ellis will discuss his memoir and the process of writing and give a special musical performance at the Strand!

Alissa Quart on The Power and Promise of America's Subcultures! 7:00pm Alissa Quart, author of Branded and Hot House Kids, is back with a new and insightful look at America's emerging subcultures. Now Quart, whoQuiet author Susan Cain has called, "one of the smartest cultural interpreters of her generation" is back with Republic of Outsiders: The Power of Amateurs, Dreamers, and Rebels. Tracing the increasing impact of marginal culture on America's pop mainstream-from slow food, to Indie-rock, to gender-fluid activism-Quart shows the power and promise that outsiders bring to our increasingly interconnected world. She traces the stories of specific individuals and shows the enormous impact they have through what she calls " identity innovation," proving in the process that being "weird" can be a source of strength. Join us for an evening for exciting discussion about the changes taking place in our culture today! Susan will join Alissa for this very special conversation in our cozy rare book room.
